GBFirst 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.

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.

GBWorst 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.

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.

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.
