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

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.

GBI stupidly booked flights from London… I stupidly booked flights from London to LAX in March 2020, trusting that I'd be able to easily re-book. Well the pandemic hit and I converted my flights to 'future flight credit'. Can I book a new flight with these? - simple answer is no - at least not via the website and the phone is useless. United customer service is non-existent.

GBNever try calling their customer… Never try calling their customer service, they sound like robots they don't try to help you with the situation at all. They just repeat the same thing over and over again until your realize that they are completely useless. Horrible experience, will never use united again.

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.
