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.

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.

BRUnited 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.

GBStranded in Chicago and had to get a rental car, United never took responsibility United said I would be stranded in Chicago for 2 days, no hotel accommodations, sleep and hang out in the airport for 2 days. I had to be in KC for work, so I got a rental car and drove myself to KC. United declined to cover the rental car, and the whole experience was a disaster of customer service. Fly any other airline.

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.
