Crew was rude, flight was late, wifi didn't work, no food, basically nothing about this flight was good.
Flight was delayed over 3 hours. Planes were dirty. Staff indifferent. And they serve vegan pretzels as snacks.
Airline is not very senior friendly. Flights are late, forcing us to run to the connecting flight. Food is awful. Wish they would go back to pretzels and peanuts. During flight, pressurization isn’t quite right and all of our ears get plugged. Everything is nickel and dime, charging for boarding, seat selection and legroom. While a screen at the desk in the gate area says check your roll on bag now for free due to space limitation, the employee at the desk will not check the bag without a $100 fee. Insane.
Seats were very comfortable. They tilted back. Drinks and snacks were free and served 3 times. Attendants were awesome.
I realize they are still working out kinks with the new boarding process, but by the time I boarded in group 5, most of the bins were full. All airlines should better enforce small bags and jackets going under the seats until everyone has boarded.
Everything was great except the food. The pretzels are really crappy.
This was a nicer flight - not fully booked and so we were able to spread out.
Overall is was a pretty good flight. However we were 15 mins late taking off and no one told us anything. We were all in our seats just sitting there for 15mins and all the sudden the pilot stayed we are leaving now. I think they should have at least said something after our take off time passed. Everyone was wondering what was going on. I will say the pilot did increase the speed of the plane so we arrived in time. So we weren't late.
Being paid like a full service airline , I felt some features like no screen on seat, very poor entertainment content and no headphone provided. I like the checked bag benefit. Open seating concept is not nicely implemented as people were boarding out of order.
2 hour delayed departure, then sat on the tarmac for 30 minutes waiting for a gate in SRQ
wifi too slow or would not connect and entertainment kept on freezing
The flight was over 2 hours late.. once we finally got boarded things were fine
Two delays on two separate planes with parts they could not easily find and replace.
Didn't like sitting on the waiting pad for 30 minutes right after departing the gate. If you're going to do that, just don't board so people can still get up and walk around in the terminal. My luggage was damaged by the baggage handlers.
No entertainment. Plane was so small had to pink tag a carry on ive used for 20 years easily on board. The fact the flight got in at midnight, had to wait for crew in fort wayne to allow the plane to approach the gate, THEN had to wait for bag on jet bridge made experience irritating at best.
Absolutely no communication on why there's a delay and multiple flight time reschedules. I would have canceled the flight and drove back home if I known it was going to be rescheduled 3 or 4 times.
Good flight. Connector flight was delayed so made a short turnaround in Atlanta which was stressful. Otherwise, great crew, Staff in ATL was very informative about the delay and ensured people their connections were fine. Notified the ones that were not. Great communication.
Seat was extremely hard which made even a short 1 hour 20 minute flight fairly uncomfortable.
Only water, tea or coffee served midflight, even to comfort seating. Man next to me needed two seats and took up a portion of my seat and Delta did nothing.
Outdated equipment in disrepair, wifi inoperable. Broken seats, taped air vents, generally poor condition, the 717 showed its age and lack of upkeep.
Kayak booked this flight with only 1h 20min layover in Chicago. This made it impossible for me and several other passengers to reach this flight. Moreover, the gate closed boarding in spite of several passengers still on their way without waiting even one more minute. However, the plane departed with 20min (!) delay, i.e., there would have been at least 15 min time to let the delayed passengers board without causing any delays. I complained and as a "thank you" the attendent booked us on the last (!) flight to Indianapolis ~7h later! Thankfully, I caught the spitefulness and the United customer line rebooked the flight to an earlier flight. Although I can't grade this particular flight since I never had a chance to take it, Kayak made the mistake of a too short layover and the crew at the gate was awful.
Onboard staff was courteous, helpful, responsive and friendly. The boarding process was disorganized, poorly communicated, and disheveled. Gate agents were yelling instead of using the PA system, didn’t communicate the timing delay of our flight, and created an atmosphere of chaos rather than order and communication. As far as I know, there was no reason for their. I would hate to see how it operated under extreme conditions. I’ve never seen United Airlines operations in such a state.
It was extremely hot in the cabin the entire flight, vent air was worn
Flight was delayed 14 hours due to DC air show and weather. Missed connection to MUC.
There was no WiFi available, there were mechanical problems with the plane and we landed at C 124, then the gate was switched to A 26, then all the way back to C126! For a 75 yo woman traveling alone, this was a difficult journey, indeed!
Teeny tiny bathrooms, crew was not realistic about when we'd arrive.
The flight from Cleveland to Newark was great. The connecting flight wasn’t so good.
Flight was on time. Staff were friendly. I paid for Economy Plus but was required to check my standard carry-on luggage due to lack of space on the aircraft. This cost me 30 minutes, unexpectedly, in waiting at the baggage claim. This experience did not meet my expectations.
Flight was not comfortable and crew was rude and not wanted to help, i would never choose united if there is alternate options . not cooperative with baby
Seat comfort is still an issue. Seats way too hard or lacking lumbar support. Entertainment system has lots of nice features like “Don’t wake me for meals”. The Bluetooth headphone pairing works well if you know how to make your pods available for pairing. While this trip I didn’t find any of the many many movies that interesting, there is plenty in there for all tastes. Crew were excellent. Captain was good about telling us how limg seat belt sign would be on while going around a storm system. Wi-Fi was quite good for only $8 bucks for mileage plus members. Be sure to load a credit card into your United app to pay for food or drinks.
Take this flight regularly. Every single week same thing. Departure delayed. Make up some time in the air. Land at ORD and then wait for gate in "L" concourse Terminal 3 for 30-40 min-which yields a very delayed final arrival. Plus I get to taxi around and see every runway and drive over the bridge (IFKYK) over the expressway 2-4 times in most cases. Change the sched of incoming plane/work with FAA to improve traffic flow at ORD/change the timing of these flights. Whatever it takes. But do better.
Terrible steward... Plane was quite empty... I asked to move "back" in the plane and the steward said no... Unnecessary power trip of mediocre people.
It was a typical flight. We had a delay which seems to be the normality now. And we had no in flight service due to conditions.
It was a code share with Alaska - would have been great if I actually made it on the plane, claimed I didn’t have a ticket or a seat even thought I was checked in.
Plenty of overhead space but forced to check my carry-ons both legs
The flight from CLE to JFK was fantasti! Pilots and cre were informative and accommodating.
Everything was ok except that we had to de-ice the plane which took about 20 mins. I realize this is a safety issue, but it caused us to miss a connection in Charlotte by 15 mins which meant a four hour layover. I think the thing that bothered me was American Airlines knew we were only 15 mins late, so couldn’t they have waited for us? There were about 10 of us that had to take alternate planes. I remember recently waiting 15 to 20 mins for passengers connecting with flights we were on. Just wondering why they couldn’t do the same for ours.
Another American flight delay. Gate staff was gratuitously abusive of anyone expressing frustration. This will be my last American Airlines flight
Abysmal, getting delayed approximately 13 times, having to switch out a crew with another crew that timed out within an hour, and customer service representatives that abandoned the stranded travelers. Terrible service
Flight attendants used to be nice to people. And any flight over 5 hours should have some kind of food other than tiny pretzels and one drink comped.
