Great airline and the website is top notch. United isn't perfect but then again, what airline isn't? I was a faithful flyer based on my travel in a few destinations. Flew ~2-4 one ways each week for a few years. Always booked directly through the website. When you hit status, its great! Unlike some other airlines, they'll never leave a first class seat empty. They'll fill it with those that not only have the most segments, but highest revenue profile (from what I saw). It asks a few more questions than others (Southwest) but once you get into the groove of using it, you barely notice the extra clicks. Not a huge deal. Their mobile apps were sketchy back in 2011-2013 but the recent updates are great! Never hit a problem with it since ~2015.

I stupidly booked flights from London… I stupidly booked flights from London to LAX in March 2020, trusting that I'd be able to easily re-book. Well the pandemic hit and I converted my flights to 'future flight credit'. Can I book a new flight with these? - simple answer is no - at least not via the website and the phone is useless. United customer service is non-existent.

Vintage experience Thank you United for this Vintage experience… a direct jump to 30years back travel standard. I’m speaking about first class experience. United do not provide lounge for domestic flight, old aircraft, worse first - business class ever experienced. Food: you have to select in advance otherwise is not guaranteed onboard and you have to accept what they have. Quality is very very low. On the return we experienced 2 hours delay: after boarding, the aircraft had a technical problem. We were kept sitting: no water no food no drinks during the waiting time was offered, for 2 hours… I felt I was in third world not in US…. A good word is about the flight assistants: always very nice. I don’t recommend and I will avoid this airline company in the future.

Shockingly bad from start to finish Shockingly bad from start to finish. Rude cabin crew, appalling lack of any service and fithly unattended bathrooms on-board, capped off with 1.5 hours sitting on the Newark tarmac waiting to disembark. "Fly the friendly skies" must be the most ironic slogan in all advertising history.

Customer Service Just Hung Up on Me! RUDE 3am and i've called and waited in queue 3 times tonight. finally i get through. i complain about the terrible website of United Airlines and the 'customer service' agents hangs up on me!!!! Terrible airline to deal with. Terrible website to book tickets on. Impossible to find detailed and clearly stated information on cancel/refund policies. sadly, i have points to spend to be rid of United!! : (
