It is completely insane to me that first class does not include WiFi. Also does not include lounge access. Port for phone charging did not work. The crew was absolutely lovely, and the food was excellent.

It is completely insane to me that first class does not include WiFi. Also does not include lounge access. Port for phone charging did not work. The crew was absolutely lovely, and the food was excellent.

I appreciate how quickly and kindly the people at the gate at DCA accommodated several of us who wanted to switch from the 6pm flight to the 5pm flight at the last minute. The flight crew was helpful to us too (dealing with luggage).

Very uncomfortable and cramped seats. Everything else was okay, the crew members were nice but nothing was exceptional.

Check in went smoothly. Flight attendant who was assigned my area barely paid any attention to me! She acted as though she was extremely busy and flustered. Maybe she was new?! I told her to change the language on my screen, she said she’d come back to help me but never did so I was able to solve the problem on my own. She came back and said she’d made adjustments on her end. Highly doubt it because I found the setting to change the language! Also, I noticed everyone was eating before we landed so I pushed my help button and she never came so I got up to find her to ask her if I can have breakfast. She said they are not serving breakfast but I can have a sandwich. Yes, that was her response as I saw everyone eating breakfast!!!

United staff were very communicative, the new starlink Wifi is amazing as I was able to work easily.

A long delay. Don't travel late in the day.

The seat was comfortable. There was a lot of turbulence. If it weren't for that,it would have been okay.

It was great, I’m very grateful for the pilots and crew flight attendants for everything.

Flight was great. Efficient boarding. Short flight. Early arrival. Friendly flight crew. The entertainment system did not work well. Could not access it until the aircraft reached 10K feet or more. Lots of glitches.

No food service almost missed because of first flight delays
