I had the luck of flying out of Newark to new Delhi on United UA82 and coming back on UA83. Being spoiled by the asian airlines, I was expecting somewhat newer planes but was dumbfounded with the look of dated Boeing 777-200 that United was operating out of Newark.
these planes do not have personal air fan outlets. So like it or not, you are stuck with the common airflow of the plane. The entertainment system was sketchy at best. half the time the screen does not respond to my touch. Selection was good while I was able to use the proper touch. Another annoying thing about our plane, the downward graded food table. So putting anything in your food tray can spill right on your pant. Never had that before.
Now here is biggest peeve, the food. United decided to have some scumbugs to do their inflight menu selection. It was a complete mess and bears no resemblance to food from from anywhere of this world. It was out of ordinary in a bad way. Never in my life I have seen sausage served with a hot indian mango pickle. Food was still bad on my return journey, but it was slightly more edible.
So my advice, if you are flying out of Newark on UA82, pack your little box of comfort foods.
