We boarded the plane and were about to take off when we were notified that the tires had to be checked. Upon inspection, they were found to need replacement, so the entire plane had to be deboarded. After we exited the plane, United staff forced us to stay in the gate area by posting "Do Not Exit" signs on the doors connecting the gate area to the terminal. Many of us had already rebooked our flights and had no checked bags, but they told us we could not leave. This seemed inappropriate to hold people under false pretenses. When the agent told us we could leave, I asked them to please take down the "Do Not Exit" signs, as they were misleading. The agent refused, and I told them that it didn't feel right to hold people like that.

Friendly crew, but we were delayed for more than an hour and had to change planes due to maintenance issues.
Good but airlines getting smaller. I didn't like the meal but the service was fine. Flight was fine and luggage arrived. So good.
Reliable, nice crew, I fly often on that flight and I like it all.
The food quality sucks. One must starve if they do not eat flesh Or wheat based products Some variety would be expected. The trivial amount of snacks and or food is inhumane
Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.
Airbus plane, nice and polite staff, entertainment even as it was a short flight.
Plane temperature was comfortable (not to hot) when boarding and waiting for takeoff.
Was a good flight. On time. Was full and all went well
Very easy to travel with, comfortable. Snacks and beverages could be improved. All in all mediocre experience.
not able to change flight, no customer service from KAYAK
check in for premium economy very nice. Friendly attendants. Best security video ever. Seriously. That's about it. Not a good bang for the premium economy buck, to be truthful. I had hoped/expected for a little more.
There is not enough space between two chairs and raws.
Leg room limited compared with previous flight from Hong Kong. Other than that. Still good value.
No complimentary food only water and soda. Of course seats were tight. However flight was timely and crew was pleasant and we arrived early.
THIS CONNECTING FLIGHT WAS BETTER BUT AIR CANADA IS NEVER ON TIME. CUSTOMS AND SECURITY WAS REDUNDANT.
The stewardesses with the food trolley practically ran down the aisle, and never offered food to anyone. Maybe we were supposed to flag them down? Also: No Wifi. Sad on a cross-country flight.
Scam on the bags we could take on board. They didn't have enough overhead storage, so they said, so they took random bags, said they were too big, which they weren't and put them under plane.
The food selections are limited and not very good. No other issues.
No wifi (can you imagine) no snack on a flight from NYC to Vancouver and barely any water. Staff was rude and uninterested. Check-in was terrible. So rude in Canada. Stood in live forever to check bags (ski equipment). We will never fly them again,
