Entertainment kept turning itself off. Gave up on watching a movie.
Wifi took a while to kick in and we had a maintenance issue that took over 40 mins at the gate in Washington before pulling back
Miserable. They moved my seat, but canceled the next leg of my flight. I resolved the issue at my transfer, but that resulted in lost luggage that has taken days off my schedule with no resolution. Worse, they fail to interface effectively with Lufthansa, forcing me to bounce between two equally useless help desks. The apps are unable to handle the situation, the bag dropped off the tracker, and while the call centers are polite, they do not provide written information to assist with cross-airline communication.
Not United Airlines' fault. It's ORL airport's fault.
United overall experience is great these days. Airport experience was very organized. Staff on flight were great. App and information as good as it gets.
The only downside was my cell phone charger wouldn’t work in the charging port but everyone else’s would work in them all. My cell phone cable works fine in my hotel room in Frankfurt.
Not the fault of United—weather, reroute around weather, time sitting on tarmac, arrived couple hours late, too late for train into city necessitating a much pricier cab but weather…can’t be helped.
I had no checked baggage but was required to hand over carry on baggage at the door of the plane. There was a lot of overboard space in the plane and I was one of the last ones. I ran to get my carry on but it was gone. I was given back at the plane door in Toronto, so the wait was not as long as it would have been at the carousel.
the delay for 3 hours was understandable due to weather conditions but the flight should’ve provided some on flight compensations or at least provide more food.
We were delayed in Toronto on the tarmac for THREE hours with no clear indication as to why except that it was not a safety hazard. Pilot did apologize more than once but even he was unable to explain why exactly we were delayed. I overheard the stewards saying that the captain was very frustrated with the situation as well because he was not able to explain why except it had something to do with water supply or system on the aircraft and now we needed to wait for an engineer to approve the aircraft for flight. It was very frustrating and distressing as a passenger and we should have been given complimentary meals at the very least.
The last 3 hours it was freezing cold in row 56. Multiple people had their winter coats on and were utilizing the blankets provided by the airline. I also did not have easy access to figure out how to book my food allergy and advance for my meals. Most of everything I received was something I couldn't eat. This needs to be made more accessible. Also, I'm 5'10 which is the average height of the American male. I flew from Philadelphia to Toronto and then to Tokyo and the seats were absolutely unbearable. For that long of a flight it is impossible to get comfortable when doing anything. Flights need to have more space and stop prioritizing costs over people.
Was delayed at every point/ connection. Luggages missing for 5days. Had no medications for diabetes and high B/p. when bags where finally delivered on the 30th, the insulin and ozempic were no longer patent, as the ice pack had since dissolved and the authenticity of the med is now questionable, since they must be refrigerated. Please have them refund my bag fees. I should sue them for all the inconveniences caused to me.
Most courteous, helpful employees and all flights were on time.
Lots of announcements that no wheeled carry on bags were allowed on the flight, yet the overhead bins were totally full and made it uncomfortable trying to get through and significantly held up departure. Why were they allowed on when they said that they weren't? Trash only came by soon after service and I wasn't ready to dispose of it. I had to first hold on to it and after flagging and attendant was told to stuff it in the seat back! I have never run into the need to walk outside in northern winter weather at an international airport and wasn't dressed to do so in the cold pouring rain! I'm not thinking that I'll be back unless I hear things have changed.
I was unaware I was booking the basic economy flight and had to spend an extra $125 for baggage plus $100 for seat selection. There was also no opportunity to upgrade into a different ticket type. The seats were very cramped and mine wouldn’t stay reclined
The walk from arrival terminal to international departure terminal is very, very, very long. If more golf carts were available for tight connections, that would be a welcome improvement.
We were at the gate 5 min late and they would not let us on. We were late because we went to check out bags and there were no workers at the baggage check
the plane from toronto to edmonton was great. it was upgraded and the crew and flight were great.
The flight was delayed 3 hours, the updates were provided very late in the day, no snacks on the flight, no credit or compensation for the delays and issues. Airplane was clean and crew was nice.
The airline did not tell me about a special form I had to have filled out and that the Korean government had to accept. Because of that I lost my flight and I lost my ticket. Canadian airlines should have told me I needed an ETA form and I have to send it to Korea and it has to be accepted and returned. I got to the airport at 4:00 a.m. and by 5:20 it had not returned yet and so I lost everything. This was a very important trip to me and now I'm really upset and disappointed and so sad that I didn't get to go. I think the airline should tell you if there's some form that you have to fill out. I looked on the internet and didn't see anything about this and didn't know anything about it until I got to the airport. Then I called Canadian airlines and they just wanted to show me another ticket but this ticket was much more expensive and then he convinced me to cancel the ticket when actually the agent could have put me on a later flight. It was and he is one of the worst experiences I've ever had
