GBThey need to do better Their level of service and quality of product need to improve. They can't rely on a business model that everyone else is using and perform worse than their competitors. They either need to develop better products and services, provide more value for customers, or else. Horrible experience on my last trip. They cancelled my return ticket saying that I was a no-show for the outbound flight although I sat in my seat in the outbound flight and even gate-checked a bag. They wasted more than two hours of my valuable time during my trip and caused a lot of stress. They didn't even know how this happened. No one apologized to me for their mistakes as of date. Their agents thought I was lying or I was the one who made the mistake. Incredible.

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.

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.

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.

GBOur flight was cancelled after sitting… Our flight was cancelled after sitting 8 hours at Newark Airport due to plane issues. United could not get us out on another flight for 2 days. We had to drive 8 hours home that night because we had to be home. The issue is they would not reimburse us for our car rental to get home. They offered us vouchers. Why would we spend more money with someone who does not take care of their customers. Our request was for an expense far cheaper than staying in Newark for 2 days. Never again with United. First and last experience
