United 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.

Terrible 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.

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.

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.

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.
