Fraud of Refund Voucher Around 6 months ago, I was forced to cancel a family flight and received a voucher number to get a discount to book a new flight. The new flight booking is not accepting the voucher code. The costumer support made the booking manually and received the same error and requested to change the voucher into a discount code. The answer from the CS team is that a refund is impossible. I corrected them saying the other CS requested a discount code, not a refund. The Email bounces back. No answer given. I was in 49 countries in around 200 flights globally with endless of flying companies. But united was one out of two (Turcish Airlines second) which is involved in unfunctional service that causes fraud.

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.

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.

Awful 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.

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!! : (
