Cons: "No flight"
Pros: "Delayed by 2 hours"
Pros: "Lots of entertainment options"
Cons: "Our confirmation on Nov 21 (7 months ago) had my wife and I sitting together for this 10+ hour flight. When we boarded we were in different rows and the first stewardist acted like there was not much that could be done about it"
Cons: "Late conn. arrival. RAN to gate, getting there 10 min before scheduled departure, only to be informed the gate was closed and no attempts to help. They knew we were coming, but..."
Pros: "Service on Lufthansa is better than most us carriers"
Cons: "The gate agent did notice I was changing carrier but did not distinguish my bag at Check in"
Cons: ":)"

Pros: "We made it to our destination on time"
Cons: "Extremely cramped seating. Terrible food"
Cons: "Had to cancel my trip due to family illness. But, not acceptable to United for a refund. And wants to charge me as much as a new ticket to save my ticket. Why penalize me for a sick relative? Unbelievable! And very disappointing."
Pros: "Crew were helpful. They got the plane boarded early for an early takeoff. It was easy getting from landing gate to my next takeoff gate."
Cons: "The boarding was a little quicker and more controlled."
Pros: "Ive been delayed at the airport since 9 am it’s is now 9:41 pm and finally switched to an American Airlines flight so I can get home. Good thing I did because now that same flight is delayed until 8:45 tomorrow morning."
Cons: "Continuously moving departure time back."
Pros: "No one sitting next to me."

Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "on time boarding arrived early, crew was wonderful"
Pros: "Good movie options, quick boarding process."
Cons: "We're all aware of the national "glitch" the delayed flights a couple of hours. While our plane was available for an on-time departure (UA1976) @11:35, the crew was inbound on one of the delayed flights (UA1611). United could have known as early as 7:30pm that 1611 wasn't going to make it on time to turn around the crew and would hold up 1976 as a result. Instead United didn't update passengers of 1976 until 11:55 (20 minutes after it was obvious that it was delayed and 4.5 hours after they could have known). Maybe I'm missing something, would love for someone at United to explain it."
Pros: "Mechanical issues with plane, but gate agents kept us notified. They worked to help people with connecting flights"
Cons: "The seat(21A) I had in the plane was very hot, no cooling from the overhead. It was -5 F in MSP, so I think they were trying to de-ice the plane from the inside :-)"
Pros: "Too many delays to be able to take the flight."
Pros: "The associate at the desk confused my flight for the next flight. I was given the wrong information and I watched my plane depart from the gate. Upon realizing that employees of that gate had left, and we're not coming back, I had to ask passing personnel about my flight to find that it left already and that I had already been rebooked without being notified. I now had to fly from Houston to Chicago to Nashville. The new flight boarded almost 2 hours later than expected, and upon landing in Chicago, I had already missed my connecting flight to Nashville by 35 minutes apparently. Unacceptable."
Pros: "Even in economy plus, I felt like a first class passenger."
Pros: "Long layovers and changed flights where not pleasant... I normally fly with Alaska Airlines and this never happens with them .."
Pros: "Everyone with United were courteous and professional. The flights were on time as well. Would fly with them again"

Pros: "Never got there"
Cons: "Never got there"

Pros: "It was a quiet and smooth ride."
Cons: "When I found out I had to pay for my luggage that was it for me. Everything went downhill from there."
Pros: "Early"
Pros: "Flight cancelled"
Cons: "Flight cancelled. Had to wait 30 minutes to speak to United service rep to rebook to Boston. No other Manchester flights. Forced to check carry ons. There were 10 terminals for service reps and only five reps. Line was very long and reps were in no hurry to assist. Not a pleasant experience. They should pay us a cancellation fee like they charge us when we cancel. Incurred additional expense getting to Manchester, NH. Not happy with United."
Pros: "Boarded on time"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The stewardess was personable. The staff at the United Club reception desk, helped with a seating problem on my return trip."
Cons: "The climate of both planes was not great. It may have to do with the age of the plane."
