Worst airline to travel Worst airline to travel. They will try to suck money out of you in every possible way. They charged me extra $50 for 2 bags that were allowed free to carry on by all other 5 airlines in the itinerary. Also they insisted again and again that the “kind of ticket class” I booked, they are doing me a favor for everything. I am not sure how they treat economy passengers but It felt insulting at one point. It was unfortunate that I booked tickets through united airlines. But I will not repeat this mistake again in future, it’s a lesson learned for me.

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.

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.

First Flight, Last Flight. Aside from the recent scandal United Airlines is literally the worst airline I've ever flown with. The only impressive this is how consistently bad they are at literally every area that constitutes a good flight experience. Incompetence like that takes dedication. Hats off to you United, I will never be flying with you again.

United is costing me $244 I won't forget On my way back from a business travel from Denver CO to London UK I had to pay a fortune to select one of the few row seats still available, because I like to be able to stand up and go to the toilet without bothering anybody to let me through. When I try to locate the past trip and get the receipt for the seat selection, United website simply throws a series of schizophrenic errors. Finding past trips? Impossible to do so using the confirmation number and last name. It doesn't matter if confirmation number meets criteria, or if I enter the last name exactly the way it is spelled in the ticket, it doesn't find it. Finding receipts? The website finds none, not even of the entire flight ticket.
