Never 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.

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.

Stranded 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.

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.

I 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.
