I was told we'd have a hot breakfast option in first class, so I chose not get a hot breakfast. It was a very strange meal, but the fresh fruit was very good quality. Service was excellent from ORD to ELP. No service from MBS to ORD, not even water. However, when flying American from FNT to ORD, which is a shorter flight, they at least pass out snacks and offer water.

We were delayed an hour leaving Munich (No fault of the crew). They kept us posted on the status so we knew what was going on, but as a result we missed our connection in Chicago and the communication on connecting flights was pretty poor as we disembarked. It was already stressful and some of that could have been reduced by better communications about where to find transfers, etc.
One problem, but a serious one - the plane is built with electric windows that tint dark to reduce light. Sitting next to the window is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE as it emits so much HEAT in the face when tinted.
The delays (5 hrs) were a comedy of errors, and the multiple safety issues encountered were very concerning.
Wifi wasn't working on one of the UA flights after boarding.
The flight was delayed instead of leaving at 11 it left at 12.20
United WiFi is consistently unusable (it can take 10 mins to load a single web page). If you need Wifi to do work, be prepared to lose half a day of productivity.
Crew was not very helpful. They forgot to serve me coffee and had to wait for a long time.It looked as if they were not very happy with what they were doing.
Good movies, iffy pay WiFi, food ok- on time though and that was great!
Unfortunately this is not a happy ending comment. Positive: flown United before no issue Negative: it only takes one bad experience to not plan future travel with United Cancún departure was delayed by 1h20 minutes, connection in Chicago was 1h30 minutes. Flight departure time 6:08 Miraculously 7 of us ran 4 kilometres through Chicago to arrive at 6:00 to be told very rudely by the 2 unprofessional United attendants you missed your flight and that we should of arrived early. Did I mention that reason I was flying? I received a call that my brother was dying and to get home. They provided no assistance would not answer any of our questions, ignorantly walked away. Deplorable
I really did not like being ordered to pull my shade down by the attendants. One of them was very rude to me about it, standing there until I closed it like I was a child brusquely reaching across me to close an adjoining one. They claim it was so people who wanted to could sleep. It’s a 10:30am flight not a red eye. Closing your shade or leaving it up for natural light should be a choice. Ruined my flight!
My baggage did not arrived with me. Took 3 days to get it after so may calls and follow up
The crew was very attentive and kept busy serving a variety of treats!
Terrible. Flight was 3 hours delayed and I missed my other flight to my final destination
Offered vegetable curry when it was actually tofu which I don’t care for.
The flight was good the crew excellent…but take off delayed three hours!!!
Both mine and my husband's chairs were broken. Also it took 2 hours to get our bags after our flight which was wild.
perhaps eye contact with the cabin crew, instead of abruptness and an impatience to serve.
Not enough trash pickups throughout the flight. Everything else was great.
Overall good, the gluten free food is very hit/miss though and you must tell them you have an allergy days in advance.
