We got stuck on the terminal in MSP and missed our connecting flight. When we finally arrived the systems were down and could not get new flights or hotels. We were told we could not get hotels and had to argue for an hour.
Even though it was a maintenance issue. I arrived a day late and had to take extra leave. The plane from LAX to Tokyo was horrific. I booked a window seat, was stuck in the very middle.
There was no way to charge outlets devices. The screen did not work. And my new luggage was also damaged with even more items destroyed. Pros: "The flights left on time and arrived early. It reminded me of the old days when everything ran like clock-work. Cons: "The leg room was barely enough for me and I'm 5'4". I can't imagine people much larger than me being comfortable at all. Also, the chair made my back hurt, so I did a lot of sitting up straight as opposed to being "in the chair".
I noticed that you had snacks for purchase on the flight, but the free snacks were cookies and pretzels. It would be nice to offer a trail mix or dried fruit. Pretzels are good for people who might be a little sick at their stomach, but better snacks are a nice option. I ordered coffee and it was perfect. Overall, the flight was a good flight, just a little tweaking and it would be great. Thanks for asking. Pros: "Pretzels and drinks. Cons: "The group's for boarding are ridiculous.
The back of the plane should board first and so on When we tried to board, the crew would rudely say, it's not your turn. We were flying for a funeral and paid a lot for our tickets. We should be treated with respect. One lady said to put our luggage in the first available compartment, then when we tried, another lady rudely said, if that's not where you're sitting, you can't put your bag there. We were embarrassed and when we tried to explain what we'd been told she told us to keep moving.
Was a lot of waited, the people were mad rough. Cons: "We had a cup of water and a cookie for a 3 hours flight. The captain put gas at the airport with us in the plane. Cons: "The wheel chair assistance that was requested for the passenger was not provided in Dallas and London.
Pros: "The crew was really good, made sure our needs were met. Cons: "The seats were quite crammed. Pros: "The crew were very nice and the seats were comfy. Cons: "I would have liked a snack instead of just a beverage alone.
Pros: "Crew was solid and professional". Cons: "Boarded late, took forever to get de-iced, went to runway, went back for more de-icing. Not good. Pros: "Crew was nice, boarding went smoothly. Cons: "As always, seats are very tight and not super comfortable Cons: "Watched a handicap elderly lady put in the middle of economy and a young small healthy male bumped to first class.
With 16" of isle space an eastern crew member tried to push a airline wheelchair down the crowded isle. Treating paying passengers as llivestock". Cons: "Food was not necessarily to our liking. Pros: "Seem to be a smooth and direct flight". Cons: "The flight was fine however my seat was next to the bathroom and people would occasionaly Bump in to me. Pros: "The MSP united noticed our original flight was not going to match our connection flight so they search us out for an earlier flights so we could get to our destination.
Also, got two refreshments. Cons: "Seats were hard. Cons: "The legroom is non-existent. I sure wish airlines didn't try to put so many seats in each aircraft. Pros: "The flight was overall good, there it was simple and i got what I paid for. First class would have been worth the upgrade Im 6'6" and i was good for legroom. Cons: "They lost my bag. Very huge issue followed. Staff was very helpful in getting me on track with who and when to talk with people however! Cons: "Our flight was delayed out of Mpls 2 hours so we had to rebook everything since we would miss our connection in Denver to Honolulu.
The process of rebooking was terrible -- took almost 2 hours standing in line and the booking agent wasn't knowledgable Had to make an additional stop in LAX and arrived in Honolulu 5 hours later than we were supposed to. VERY disappointing experience all around!
Cons: "They left early. I got there at and the plane had left the gate". Pros: "On time, friendly, overall great! Pros: "The trip went smoothly and it was on time. The Crew was nice and efficient". Pros: "The friendliness of the crews. Cons: "The landing was a little bumpy. Pros: "The price of a ticket is slightly lower. It is not enough of a difference to make the plethora of inconveniences worth it. You are not a valued customer with this fare. If United values customers, they shouldn't offer this fare.
That's why I don't fly the bargain airlines. Cons: "You can't check in at the kiosk on basic economy without an employee badge swipe, and there were no employees available. I had to stop checking in, wait in line, and then the employee that I talked to didn't have the right kind of badge to swipe.
So I waited again. Extremely inconvenient. Even after being forced to talk to a ticket agent at check in, they still won't issue a seat. So you have to go to the gate and wait in line again to get a seat. The system is built for maximum inefficiency. It doesn't cost less for them to make me talk to two separate people, it is only to inconvenience the flyer for buying a cheaper ticket.
It seems like a punitive system. Boarding was organized and painless. The crew seemed polite. Regarding comfort, the "leg room" on the airbus is ridiculous. I am average height and felt claustrophobic. I can't imagine how a tall person feels. There was no " entertainment" on my flight, so one star for that. I didn't not receive any food and was not offered water, 1 star. Cons: "It was not made clear at all that I was buying a basic economy ticket and was not going to be allowed to take a carry on.
That was really frustrating. Pros: "Friendly flight attendants. Cons: "When I made the reservation, somehow I was assigned lowest status, and boarded the plane last, meaning no overhead storage.
Cons: "Not being able to take a backpack as a carry-on". Cons: "There was no provided entertainment". Pros: "I didn't like anything from united.
Cons: "I really didn't like how the agent by gate presented herself. She was rude and disrespectful. She wouldn't let me get hold of my son who was flying with frontier to Denver get my book.
This is sad". Cons: "Wifi Entertainment wasn't working. Pros: "Mechanical issues with plane, but gate agents kept us notified. They worked to help people with connecting flights". Cons: "The seat 21A I had in the plane was very hot, no cooling from the overhead.
When one did open up it was another 10 min drive from the taxi way to the gate. By the time we got off this flt had to sprint thru LAX to get to next flt. Cons: "Landing at dulles - we had to deplane from the outside. Would be nice to have it connected so we walk from plane to covered ramp inside to airport. Didn't serve a snack and they usually do. Cons: "Difficult to hear, much confusion as to which line to get into, the marking are easy to read unitl a line forms then just a jumble of people in the walkway".
Cons: "Unable to pre-check online. Unable to check at the check in machines--had to go up and check in at the counter, long wait because there was only one clerk. We were then given a ticket just to get through security and had to check in a second time when we get to the gate for seat assignment, which is ridiculous. Why couldn't that be done at the 1st check-in?
At the last moment minutes, volunteers could check in their carry on for free It would have been nice and less hassle to have that option at the 1st check-in.
Cons: "The plane temperature was ice cold and I was miserable the entire flight home". Pros: "The lady helping me before boarding plan was awesome thanks enjoy your week". Pros: "Flight finally left for ORD. Staff kept folks apprised and boarded us quickly. Cons: "Continual delays. Yet we were seated next to the AA counter where their staff was actively working on this issue missed connections in ORD.
Seemed like AA cared a bit more. Pros: "I appreciate that United hasn't gotten greedy with baggage charges and has kept their seating comfortable. They cancelled my flight, re-routed me to three flights going through la.
I talked with a gate agent who got me an earlier flight to L. A bit the layover was huge. Was supposed to be in sac at 11am got here at 5". Pros: "My knees were literally in the person in front of me back of the chair.
Cons: "They make you check your standard crayon bag because it "looks" too big. Even after putting in the size bin they have.
Pros: "They were patient". Cons: "My flight was delayed and I had a question which they could not answer unless I waited in like. There were only three people ahead of me but I waited in that line for 45 minutes. You guys need another computer station to keep the line moving. Then when I went to board the plane, the woman who helped me before customs had printed out the wrong ticket for me so I had to wait in a line AGAIN and get a new ticket printed out.
Pros: "Speed and ease of our return home. Cons: "We got in SO early, there was no gate ready for us at Newark, so we had to stay on board at least 30 min. Also they didnt allow even 1 person waiting in queue for bathroom, so if you sat down you'd lose your place. Pros: "They got a wheelchair within 5 minutes. Cons: "Delayed as usual with united airlines. Seems that every time I fly with United their is some kind of problem flying out of Denver.
Every Time. Pros: "friendly staff". Cons: "first class seats not comfy. No wi-fi on the entire outbound. With no movies, no wi-fi, and being a vegetarian with 2 chicken entrees chicken sandwich or chicken salad! Pros: "Nice folks and getting on was not a chore.
Overall it was between good and excellent. Cons: "My wife and I got to sit together, due to the courtesy of a GI moving so we could. Our 12 yr old grand daughter was one row behind and across the aisle from us. Cons: "Missed the flight because the connection was late taking off and landing.
Cons: "Every flight I had was delayed at least an hour, and one of my flights was delayed 2. When I asked why it was taking so long, the United customer service representative was very short and somewhat rude. Not a great experience this time that's for sure. Pros: "Absolutely nothing". Cons: "Airplane was damaged and united wouldn't rebook us until the flight was officially cancelled hours later. Then United provided only one service person to address all of the passengers needs so we had to stand in line for a couple hours longer.
Then they had no hotel rooms to put anybody up for the night that couldn't get a flight until the next day. Then our luggage was mishandled has still has not shown up to my house.
A very miserable day because of United's lack of being proactive and poor decision making given the situation and circumstances. Cons: "Terrible flight. I payed for an upgraded seat, list my flight due to a crew on previous flight being late then was put on standby on this plane in a tiny seat next to someone else. We sat on the runway for 45 min. There was an open seat in row 1 that I could have been seated in, but no one offered".
Cons: "The flight was delayed multiple times causing me to have to literally run across airport to catch international connecting flight. Gate crew did very little to assist me in securing an alternate flight. On board crew did little to assist me in finding out information and getting me off the plane quickly to get to my connecting flight. Overall they showed little empathy and customer service. Pros: "Overall good flight. Very quick! Cons: "Nothing in particular.
Cons: "One strange thing happened on my United airlines flight. The crew announced before we boarded that there wasn't enough overhead space for rolling bags and encouraged us to check them in.
Upon boarding they announced that all overhead space in the back was full. I sat in the back and noticed that the crew closed the overhead compartments even though they were mostly empty.
