GBVintage 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.

GBBereavement Trip Last minute booking When justfly.com missed book my trip. United advised me to contact them. So, I did. Justfly.com wasn't helpful. HOwever, the attendant advised me to go to United.com. I found a flight out for the funeral I needed to attend the same day departure and minutes apart from the flight that I booked with justfly.com and it was only $60 more than the justfly.com flight. Very economical and easy to purchase. I would use them again. The flight attendants were wonderful as well. I recommend flying United airlines.

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.

GBTerrible service for premium Polaris… Terrible service for premium Polaris price. ORD to LHR for over $6000. Seat changed twice due to aircraft changes, they claim. Seems to me it’s not rocket science to have an algorithm that maintains seating choices and preferences when aircrafts change? Bag drop off also a pain. Then to the Polaris longe seated lunch? No spaces available, sorry. Terrible all around. Waste of money. Premium price for ordinary service or even poorer.

DEFraud 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.
