My easiest trip ever. Flights left on time, and came in a few minutes early. The flights weren’t full so it was very comfortable. Thank you United
10.0 ExcellentNancy, Oct 2026
My easiest trip ever. Flights left on time, and came in a few minutes early. The flights weren’t full so it was very comfortable. Thank you United
Quinoa chocolate cookies are my favorite! Would be nice to have internet service like American
Better management of the boarding process. Is there any way you could forward all the window seats first? That's the Way Reno Air used to do it, and they had the fastest boarding in the industry!
Old plane, no amenities. Very abrupt landing. Unnecessarily long taxi time.
Legroom in Economy was fair to good. Seat was omay; I was hit in the shoulder twice by the cart as it was being whisked through the aisle. Overhead space was good for my carryon. Lighting environment was nice
Crew was dismissive. Snacks and refills not offered. Poor business class experience. Bed not comfortable compared to Emirates or BA.
Food was very very bad! Same flight from US was amazing with great food but the food prepared for the flight from Cape Town to New York was not eatable. The crew also did not smile once. They all looked like it was a shift they had not signed up for but were forced to take. :(
On time - really well operated flight. Friendly staff. Super impressed with United on this round trip.
Less packaged foods in between meals Appreciated fruits cheese platters ice cream
The flight itself was fine and the pilots were great. The crew was awful - the purser WOULD NOT SHUT UP, they ran out of food, I would not serve the “beef” dinner option to my dog. The boarding process was a clusterfuck-no announcements were made about boarding groups, and when we did get on the plane, attendants were blocking the aisles taking orders for the premier lounge and not letting the poors get to their seats
