All of the United employees I interacted with were professional and courteous. The aircraft was clean, the food on the flight was good. No complaints here.

There was no food available for this red eye... one little waffle cookie for a 6+ hour flight... thank God I was able to sleep some

For both flights I requested a gluten free meal, they didn’t have one nor were there other options.

Not good , late, and long. We came home so late and spent so much time flying around and taxiing

Terrible. Delayed 7 hours, and cancelled the flight, leaving me stranded and out of pocket $500 for an alternative last minute flight

Food was terrible. Crew was kind but skipped over my row for providing sandwiches and beverages.

Not a great experience. We paid for the upgrade for premium economy seats and seated ourselves in very comfortable seats. Someone came along with the same seat on their boarding pass. The aircraft had been changed and as a result we were booted out and sent further back to small uncomfortable seats. After complaining we were moved to emergency row seats, which gave us more leg room but the seats don’t recline. For people in our 70’s we found having to sit upright from California to NJ very uncomfortable. Not sure why they chose to move senior citizens instead of the two people that were allowed to take the more comfortable seats. Not happy.

More racist flight attandants maybe because i sm an attracticted darkskin latino man but once again bad flight attamdants they ignored me the whole flight even the woman sitting next to me notice how rude they were towards me i really never want to fly united or american airlines they alawsys have the rudesslt and racist flight attandants

We loved the United lounge near our gate and a rep named Aimee who was GREAT

Cramped seat even in economy plus seat 10A. Over booked flight, no space for the bags
