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

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
We were delay because so many bags needed to be gate checked and it was disappointing not to have outlets in the seats for such a long flight.
Raleigh to Chicago was OK. The problem was Chicago to Lincoln. Flight was delayed 4 hours. Give them credit for the updates and reason why it was delayed
Comfortable seats and good crew. There should be some breakfast options in menu for economy class to purchase Wifi was not working in the flight
We were Polaris passengers and found the service poor. The food was ok but the flight attendants were not attentive and rushed the service.
Flight was canceled and United offered zero assistance. Left many of us in an unsafe situation
