Are united airlines economy plus seats worth the money?

Question

It's going to be a 10 hour flight,but they charge me $300 to upgrade from economy to economy plus,is it a big difference?

Answer 1

YES. I just upgraded for a flight from Chicago to Narita, Japan for $194 for both 12 hour flights.  My original seats were right by the bathroom.   On such a long flight, a few extra inches of reclining is really nice. Not to mention these seats are sometimes more cushioned since they aren't always filled, unlike the packed economy seats.  I've flown Economy Plus before to Hawaii from LA and it was also very nice.   The room totally matters.  As much as parting with the money sucks. its money well spent.  Also, you'll get first choice for meals and also slippers/extras. The chumps in the way back get the leftovers. (the lousy food option no one wants.) So do it.  And don't forget your neck pillow!
