Boarding was slow -- we ended up being late to take off. It was a packed flight, and there is no effort to board in any orderly fashion. The signage went up pretty late too, so figuring out where to go added to the chaos. The food disappointed me this flight with choices that were not totally to my liking.
Everything could be better.Call center is so bad.You can't fix anything with them.
I’m leaving it really bothered me. My bag did not come in on time and I had medication in that bag that needed to be in the refrigerator and I still throw it out. Are you going to buy things because it came so late
The food and drinks were good. Other than that airplane cabin and bathrooms were dirty and airplane was HOT.
I did not like 2 3 2seating. The food quality was declining. The appetizers were good. But the main course was limited and I had to send back my lamb chop which was too dry. The meal before landing was disappointing and not appetizing.
Very good. As expected. Have used their service several times. Highly recommend
Again the lounge boarding process were the only flaws. I was sitting comfortably in the overcrowded , under-catered business lounge at IST and got a notification in my phone that boarding had started. I rushed to the gate only to stand there an additional 5 minutes before boarding actually began. I could have enjoyed additional time in the lounge. At least they clearly separated business and economy classes in the boarding area so it wasn’t a total mob scene.
waited standing in security corral for an hour with no updates
Food was surprisingly good for airplane, crew was great, though announcements were sometimes hard to hear. Plane was nice (had great headroom, large screens and big dimmable windows). But seats were uncomfortable in economy (seat width was fine, but not enough shoulder room). I wish I could use my person Bluetooth headphones with screen( I think I could mirror it on my device, but didn’t want to keep tray table down to hold it up).
Liked the presentation and the seats. Did not care for the crew, they were efficient but not friendly and did not check if we needed anything
Connection times always good online, but not in reality when first leg is delayed (2 out of 2 times this trip).
When booking, the connection times seem fine. But in reality, my two connections were cut short by the first leg being delayed due to issues at the destination (too much traffic going into SFO, ORD) and it became extremely stressful.
Promised internet. Tried for nine hours to log in, no way. I tried the free option, I tried the paid option, I tried restarting my phone.. several times! Very aggrevating as I was trying to keep up with an emregency medial issue with my dad, but could not because the promised service was not available.
It was good flight was smooth, little cold on the plane but other wise good.
I need to note that this flight experience was generally fine but the boarding situation was absolutely a mess and there wasn’t any actual priority boarding. I rated the experience poorly because I’m am genuinely so frustrated with the crew on United taking the baggage space in first class. This flight it didn’t happen, but the last few flights (when I ironically don’t get an opportunity to provide feedback) have been spoiled because upon entering the first class cabin as one of the first few seated passengers, the overhead bins are full and ‘crew’’ tags are on the bags of those taking space. I don’t intend to infer some sort of a class or caste system but it’s absolutely ridiculous that the crew takes the overhead storage above and beyond their most loyal and lucrative customers. They should not even have economy space IMO. And I’ve gotten grief when I’ve noted to the crew the ridiculousness of the notion that the crew (who are the last off the plane) should have priority over flyers who pay. I hope you find a way to convey this message to United because it’s happening with increasing frequency and I intend to find a way to expose the specific crew members who are doing this on a flight by flight basis. (And I have a day job)
I had bad experience with United airline. No live rep, they only have AI that respond to customers concern
Seats could be more comfortable, food was plentiful and good.
Compared to our Lufthansa flight out, it was pretty poor. Check-in was a nightmare trying to figure out if it was Lufthansa or United, the Kayak link kept sending us to a dead link with United. Then figuring out which code was United was a mess - it took way too long. On the flight, the seats were uncomfortable, they were out of all wines but red when the flight started, then out of red after the first beverage. The flight attendant said they never get restocked before they turn around to the US, so it happens all the time. The food was so bad we threw it away. For a long flight, it was pretty terrible.
Fabulous! Plane was full a couple of months ahead of time and there were no seats available for purchase. Not the airlines fault but maybe they should offer more flights on that route! Thanks
Thé process in Frankfurt was appalling. We were directed to the wrong line by an airport employee as were many other people. This caused a 20 delay on departure and a lot of stress. The gate was not posted until 30 minutes before boarding then there were 2 security checks after even though we were transferring from another EU country. These took an hour to clear. The United staff then reissued paper boarding passes for the remainder of our trip but did not put TSA pre check on even though we have global entry. This caused more hassle for our Denver connection. The flight itself was wonderful but working through partner airlines is full of problems
