Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
Pros: "short time, smooth flight"
Cons: "Single seating on the left side of the plane has limited foot room due to the design of the plane at the floor, which is raised. Leg room is non existent as is headroom. The seat was very uncomfortable. Luckily this was only 1.5 hours flight time otherwise it would have been pure misery. Right side seating on the isle would be better for foot room but the other aforementioned issues exist."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight was canceled Costumer service was terrible Had to weigh 26 for flight to Indianapolis"
Pros: "Great"
Cons: "E-175 is very comfortable"
Pros: "Flight was fine. Just like any other."
Cons: "Nothing stands out as being good or bad. But I think all airlines are super cramped these days."
Pros: "Flight was on time and we arrived earlier than scheduled time"
Cons: "I only had an hour to catch this flight because my flight from Vienna to Chicago was half hour late to park at the gate, and was scrambling in the busy O'Hare airport to go through passport check, customs, catching the train to go from Terminal 5 to 2, passing through security (YET AGAIN!!!) and running to my gate They didn't even offer some water Took longer than usual to get our luggage"
Cons: "A lot of turbulence on this flight, often interrupting cabin service."
Pros: "Service was good"
Cons: "Delay of over 1-1/2"
Pros: "Staff was excellent. From check in to flight crew. On time and earlier arrival. Unexpected."
Cons: "Unable to bring some carryon. No coffee available on board."
Pros: "Crew was friendly"
Cons: "Bit of turbulence due to weather"
Pros: "Terrific Gate Team in Houston, who were extremely helpful with my current disability (my foot is in a walking boot). Gate agent immediately approached me once I got to the gate (via wheelchair) to see if I needed anything else. Then she took it upon herself to move my seat so that I had an empty row on the flight to prop my leg up on the flight, which was excellent customer service. She anticipated my needs & exceeded them. She signaled for me to board early, so I had enough time & space to get down the ramp. Gate agents like her are hard to find these days. I wish there were more agents like her. Flight to Indy- Plane were more spacious between the seats. My knees had 6”-8” between them & the seat in front of them. It was a new plane, so if this is the direction that United is going with their aircrafts, they will have lots of happy flyers."
Cons: "It was recommended to download the United app for free inflight Enterainment once I purchased the inflight WiFi. After purchased, none of the movies or tv shows would play. It seemed like slow WiFi was making it impossible to utilize the Entertainment promoted by United."
Pros: "The crew."
Cons: "Kayak had a glitch. They sent me an email telling me of a gate and terminal change in the Houston airport that wasn't true. Barely made my flight."
Pros: "The flight to Indy was not full. The crew did a great job of spreading people out so that everyone would be more comfortable. Everything went smoothly and even landed early"
Pros: "The ease of booking the flight and forgetting it until the day I left was awesome."
Pros: "On time, boarding strictly by zones, great."
Cons: "Due to the short flight not everybody was served a beverage, nonissue for a one leg flight, but coming from Frankfurt I would have enjoyed a glass of water."
Pros: "Fast and effective. On time and crew was nice and helpful."
Cons: "No food, you had to buy food. All they have was pretzels and drinks. Seems like service airlines offer now are worse and prices are not any lower!!"
Pros: "The crew were friendly and courteous. And the food was delicious."
Cons: "My legs hurt during the flght and I couldn't get pills for air sickness, plus a half-an-hour delay. Also, my screen didn't work properly, which needs repair."
Pros: "Friendly flight attendants"
Cons: "Terrible food. Cramped, uncomfortable seats. No in-flight entertainment, app did not work."
Cons: "Ok"
Pros: "Nice airport, but terrible organization"
Cons: "We were directed upstairs when entering the airport, then directed downstairs for a so called faster security location. That line was long, so we were directed to a shorter security TSA pre check by a person who took us back upstairs to a 3rd location that was not signed or marked to be a security check area at all. It said employees. This is a disorganized airport."
Pros: "Pleasant staff. All smiles and very agreeable at the gate and checkin, but..."
Cons: "This new unassigned seat fare that offers the "cheapest rate" also doesn't allow a checked bag. What this means is that you have to do two separate searches to compare the basic economy price and the upgraded economy to see if the difference is less than a checked bag. It makes the booking process unecessarily complicated, so much so that I'm just going to exculde United from the list of airlines when I do a search on one of the aggregators"
Pros: "Comfy plane, ease of connection"
Cons: "Nothing really"
Pros: "No delay at all"
Cons: "Was ok"
Pros: "Pilot communication with passengers"
Cons: "No food or drinks due to turbulence. No entertainment offered. You should have a N/A option for these questions."
Cons: "3 delays"
Pros: "On this specific day, flight/s didn't go as planned starting with flight cancellation due to mechanical issues. However, I did eventually arrive."
Cons: "Flight was cancelled. Second flight overbooked and I was bumped. Put on connecting flight versus direct for third try at getting to destination. Almost bumped again. Finally arrived 10 hrs later."
Pros: "Very good!"
Pros: "It was delayed n delayed again it's always a problem"
Pros: "Good"
Cons: "I've received my bag damaged and asked for help through the service but they didn't help me on doing nothing just said that's normal I paid 25$ for the safety of my bag but found it very damaged"
Cons: "Cost too much."
Pros: "It was ok"
Cons: "It was ok"

Pros: "Same as for first leg"
Pros: "Boarding process was easy"
Cons: "Had us planeside check our roller bags but had at least 4 overhead bins around us that ended up being empty. They then took a substantial amount of time to unload the plane side checked bags. I was toward the rear of the plane and still had to wait."
Pros: "Wifi n t.v. sets"
Pros: "i liked the fact that it was a short trip so i could make my way home from there."

Pros: "They made up time since the plane left late."
Cons: "The man who was boarding us announced to the whole area that if your ticket says to see him just sit down and wait to be called because he's "getting irritated". Terrible customer service! The crew on the plane acted like they didn't want to be there. They had a ton of empty seats but announced that we can't move up or change unless we pay for it with our credit card. I understand it but it sounded really bad. Not welcoming at all. Will avoid United in the future."
Pros: "Everyone was very accommodating! Thank You."
Pros: "On time and nice attendants"
Cons: "I paid $59 to upgrade to a premium seat and it was terrible with my feet being in the aisle where the service cart rolled"
Cons: "Luggage Lost on 4 Apr after I came to my destination Indianapolis. I reported my lost luggage on the same day at Airport at United airlines office. Its been 10 days and no one has followed up yet on my lost luggage. I have to call United Airlines Customer Care everyday to get a status on my report. No follow up is made on the lost luggage. They have asked to file claim which will also take 8-10 weeks to process. All these experiences has made me and my friends not to prefer United Airlines for Travel."
Cons: "the flight was 2.5 hours late. for no reason that couldn't be resolved much much sooner"
