Boarded plane and then delayed 1.5 hours while on the plane
Flight was late as pilot crew had to land at different airport in their previous flight. Passengers boarded and had to wait for pilots inside plane. Series of incomplete and unnecessary announcements by an annoying voice, rather than complete, informative announcements.
They hired a new catering company the same day of my flight. They botched the job by not delivering the right carts and after THREE HOURS waiting, the flight crew timed out (flight was 19 hours long and FAA rules state crew can’t work more than 14 hours long). So they CANCELED OUR FLIGHT!! Worst experience ever. Avoid UAL at all costs.
The gate attendant let me walk right by her with a bag too big for the overhead compartment
We tried to upgrade to economy premium but were told this was not possible as we had booked through United Airlines (and Air Canada was operating the flight). This seemed silly given there was ample space in economy premium. Additionally, we had to wait almost 1.5 hours upon arrival to taxi to the gate. Otherwise, the crew were very pleasant and passengers were friendly.
My experience with the united usually is a really good one. But however, on this particular trip going back to Hawaii from Manila, our flight had gotten canceled. However, the crew handled everything just right, but the Specialist team did not take care of their first class customers very well, Because I lost my first class seat and witch I'd paid for $3879.79 and ened up flying.... Economy on the way back and I have a medical condition to ware i cant sit in Economy seats for very long....And I have to fly first class for a reason, but they told me there was nothing they could do about it. But yet they have an itinerary to follow And It looks to me like they just let anybody grab those first class seats before they took care of the people that have already paid for them!! So when a flight is canceled, they should take care of their first class ticket payers... First because we pay big money for those seats And we count on those accommodations in those benefits... For real good reasons, that's why we pay that kind of money. I'm expecting at least half of A. Refund back to my credit card for you for this...And if I don't get it, I'll never fly united again, it's sad that this happens And some things are out of our control, and I totally understand it, but at least handle your first class holders first before all.. That is what we pay for.
Very punctual. Comfortable plane and great entertainment options. The staff was very nice.
Smooth flight. As always dinner could have been more generous. Breakfast was great.
The fight didn’t happen because I was rerouted to Trinidad as previously explained.
Boarding always seems a bit chaotic. Seat spacing could leave more for leg room.
