GBGreat 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.

CACustomer 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!! : (

GBAwful Booking Process and Customer Service I haven't even flown with United yet, but so far they've made me re-book my flights 3 times, and there's still another 3 months before I fly. I booked a return flight to the US from the UK in January, I went on-line in March to check some details to find that my flights had been changed and my seat upgrades had been cancelled with no refund. So I re-upgraded and chose new seats, a month later I checked again, the flights had changed again, still no warning or refund, so yet another, re-select the seats and pay the upgrade fee again, 1 month later, same thing. Each time I re-upgrade my seats my bank charges me £1.50 for each transaction (United put each seat on each flight through individually from the US whereas the original booking was taken from the UK). In terms on transaction costs alone I'm down around £18, if you add to that the fact that not a single cancelled seat hasn't been refunded then it's around £250. I feel a small claims court action coming on.

GBShockingly 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.

GBAlways an issue I hade at least 5 hours of delays for a flight out of buffalo to newark. an aircraft never left and after switching my connection flight twice, was told it was being taken out of service. another plane was going to be sent from Chicago, to arrive after my last connection flight was scheduled. there way no way for me to get to any connection. I was set up with flight following day. we were an hour late getting off ground and we arrived in Washington fifteen min before my connection. I got off fast and shuttled to other side of airport and ran to gate. the flight was supposed to leave at 8:15a and I arrived to gate at 8:19 to find the plane left earlier than scheduled. now I'm stuck again for five hours before I can get home or continue to ny original destination. always have issues with United.
