Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
Cons: "Complimentary ear plugs and eye mask would have been great."
Pros: "Hope the flight attendant was awesome. She should be filmed for training videos."
Cons: "Update bathroom. Sinks almost too small to use with the facet type installed. Super gross bumping the sink basin in order to wash hands. Acrobatic feat to get done."
Pros: "Crew was very courteous and professional."
Pros: "They smiled, gave a friendly farewell, made sure everyone was hydrated."
Cons: "Don't get an attitude with calm passengers asking for assistance for their seatmates. Sometimes they wouldn't ask me what I wanted to eat or drink, they just assumed I already heard them ask other passengers and just waited for me to answer. It just seems lazy to me."
Pros: "The crew was polite and helpful"
Cons: "The food was very average"
Pros: "Just a normal flight."
Cons: "Coach seating is always a bit "compact.""
Pros: "- orderly boarding - calm crew despite many frustrating circumstances which delayed the flight"
Cons: "- Had to wait for catering to deliver carts before take off (this also caused a weight balance issue) - After carts were delivered, we were informed catering had forgotten one which caused more of a delay - While we were waiting, the plane started to become unbearably hot - After finally taking off, we were promised free Directv access for the delay but the entertainment was turned off 5 min into the flight due to technical difficulties"
Cons: "The food was way too little. I’m 5’3 and weigh 115 so not a big ester snd I found it to not be filling or good. They had no snacks in between meals. They kept the left over bread as snacks. Seriously!"
Pros: "Even though we left over an hour late, the pilot was able to play catch up. We arrived only a few minutes late. The flight attendants were very attentive."
Cons: "Food could have been better."
Pros: "It was quick all around."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Good communication from the Captain throughout the delay"
Cons: "Flight delayed missed connecting flight. Second flight delayed missed connecting flight. Overnight in airport expected unless united pays for hotel. Absolutely miserable. Paid 430$ one way for a 25 hour flight. Will never fly United again."
Pros: "Nice to have free movies on the UA app"
Cons: "We sat on the runway for 30 minutes before taking off"
Pros: "The female crew was polite and courteous."
Cons: "The male crew acted like they were above the customers."
Pros: "Quiet"
Cons: "No tv"
Pros: "They gave us free tv since we had to wait so long and they made us wait for an hour on the tarmac."
Cons: "We had a connecting flight from San Francisco that we missed due to their delays. We still don't know why it was delayed. They didnt give a clear or concise reason for the delays. Our flight landed a few minutes before our connecting flight departed and instead of holding the plane like they have done in other reviews I've read they actually took off early. We were automatically given tickets to the next flight out to our final destination (which was 6 hours later.) This was sucky but we didn't have control over it so we dealt with it. However when we went to customer service to print our new tickets we were "greeted" with two apathetic employees. The first one we didn't actually get to interact with because after waiting in line for 10 minutes when it was finally our turn he held his hand up to stop us from walking up to the counter and just left. No explanation just headed out. So we headed over to the "premier" line for a procedure that should literally take 3 minutes to interact with the next employee who made it somehow our fault that we were mildly upset with the situation. My father always told me United "sucks" we gave them a chance but we should have heeded his fatherly advice. Oh and a bonus my traveling partner has a broken pelvis so sitting around for hours on end was just salt to the wound."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Outdated planes. Service sucked. No blankets. Delta for life!"
Cons: "The gang stalkers that Kayak and United let sit next to me."
Pros: "The seats were super comfy I loved that, seemed to be a newer plane. Staff was also great"
Cons: "The only complains I have was that the flight was delayed but it was because of weather conditions and also on this flight there weren't any TVs either."
Pros: "Made it on standby"
Cons: "Had to fly standby to get home because you made me miss my connection"
Pros: "Quick and easy fight. Crew very nice"
Pros: "Had no food so don't know. Entertainment system was available, but did not use it."
Cons: "Would have been nice if I could turn it off the entertainment system."
Cons: "Why charge people for entertainment and snacks put it in the cost of flight , many people onboard complained about this it's 2017 how united could compete with virgin JetBlue southwest baffles me. I surely will not fly united ever again"
Pros: "Friendly service."
Cons: "Again all of it was poor"
Pros: "The actual flight from FLL to SFO was uneventful. The pilot was kind enough to point out when we were about to fly over the Grand Canyon which I appreciated."
Cons: "Upon landing at SFO our plane waited on the tarmac for over an hour. Several passengers missed their connecting flights. We were given no good explanation for the wait."
Cons: "Wifi barely worked even after i paid"
Cons: "Explained above"
Cons: "Departure was delayed. No explanation. The boarding area is crowded and confusing. The plane's bins were too small for roller boards so passengers had to carry bags outdoors in snow and terrible wind, to get them loaded. The Newark airport where the plane landed was miserable! Departure from Newark was worse than landing if that could be possible! Awful!"

Cons: "did not take that flight, the return date need changed and it was more money to change date than it was to buy a new ticket"
Pros: "We flew Air Canada to Venice and United Airlines from Barcelona to Washington. The United flight was very nice. The economy plus seats were spacious enough, the service great and the food acceptable. I titled this A Surprise" because of the Air Canada leg of the trip."
Cons: "Air Canada from Montreal to Venice was terrible. The plane was cold and and lacked any of the electronics available on most flights. the service was equally poor with food barely editable and no water offered to prevent dehydration. I was truly disappointed in Air Canada and having flown a variety of airlines around the world would expect more from such a great country."
Pros: "What can you say ?? It's a 20 minute flight on a tiny cramped plane but it got us from A to B on time. Crew was as friendly as they needed to be. Landing was very hard."

Cons: "The horrible customer service and no updated aircrafts"
Pros: "Boarding was swift, seat was fine, service was pleasant, flight was uneventful."
