Oh my gosh, I loved my experience with United! they made me want to travel more often.

Most disapointing experience. We were rerouted to Toronto, after a 7 hours flight , where we sat on the tarmac for a little over 4 hours, in a full airplain with no air. We were given a tiny cup of water twice during that wait. After the long wait we taxi out of toronto to wait another 30 min. Many people missed their conections including my kids and I. We were promised a hotel room in Montreal on the aircraft and at the exit of the aircraft, then directed to a desk after custom where me and my two kids were told that we do not get a room for the night and that we were on our own, after a back and fourth and stating what was told to us, the agent at the counter says that we are right and that we should have a room. I ask the lady if she could look into a different flight for us for the next day as I was with two you g kids and wanted them to get some rest. The gentlemen next to her jumps in and said there wss nothing without even (pretending) looking at their system, I insist and say that they could look for the kids. They seemed to have trouble with our reservation so they gave up. I told them that I needed to talk to a manager, they said there were no managers and that no one can do anything, to which I responded that there must be someone that could do something and that it does not make sense for them to repeat the same think as we are not undestanding each other. She threatns to call security and says I am rude. I say I will go, just give me the vouchers and ger response is “ not giving you the vouchers because you are rude”. I was not rude. It is normal to want to talk to a manager. I even said that the people at the counter were not resoonsible for the long journey and that there was nothing they could have done. But to threten and himiliate someone just because they ask for someone else to talk to ? I understand they are overwhelmed, but you know the quality and calibre of a company in the bad times not the smooth ones. I ended up leaving and paying for my own room and board.

Not the best. Mean. Didn’t give any value to me being a united silver member and lots of attitude.

Good flight. On time. Boarding and seating was easy. Crew were really friendly, yet professional. Bathroom (by cockpit) was small but serviceable. Some the seats were showing some notable wear & tear, but were comfy. Very happy UA customer. TY! 🤛🏽💗

After checking in online i called United to make sure I have special food ordered ( kosher option). Representative I spoke with on the phone with assured me that special meal was ordered. On the plane, during meal service I was informed that there is no note about it and no kosher meal was ordered for me. Flight attendant said she will check if maybe was a mix up and meal is somewhere. But never came back with any update. So entire flight with no food...

Fast checkin with the self serve terminal, good communication at the boarding gate.

Staff was generally seeming stressed out and was a bit rude and slow. Plane left late. Pilot was very well-spoken.

The first flight was an hour and a half late leaving, thus missing my connection. The second flight Departure was two hours late Leaving.

The plane’s radio wasn’t working. This delayed the plane for an hour and a half. Then we all broaded and taxied down the runway only to get called back because the radio was still not working. Had to get off the plane and then find another plane making the trip 4 hours delayed. Maybe a different plane should have been chosen sooner?!?!?!

We appreciated the friendly, efficient, and professional flight attendants. A wider selection of hot foods would be nice.

Courteous and warm. Good experience while traveling back with an infant.

Flight got diverted because of an emergency and the crew were fantastic and probably saved that passenger’s life. While in emergency landing some measures could have been taken to prevent additional delays. In general not great experience with BA. I used to fly BA years ago all the time, very disappointed by the whole experience, seats were tight, bathrooms tight.

Horrible. The Athens to London flight was horrible. At some point there was a long piece of toilet paper on the corridor floor for 30min, crew were stepping over it. Only picked up when they rolled out the garbage cart. Not a pleasant site. The whole experience reminded me of easy jet. Not worth the price.

Business class area too small and chair and equipment not comfortable .

BAD!!! due to delay I missed my connection in MEX, had to pay for hotel and new flight for next morning increasing my spent for $1,000 usd

Paid for first class and was surprised that the seats were the same in economy except no one was in the middle seat. I expected an actual first class seat.

Flights were on time. Crew was courteous. Food was much better than I expected. Heathrow is a good transit hub - great selection at the duty free.

I could not charge my phone the entire night or read my book, as the whole middle isle was without power.

Although it was an overnight flight, the crew could’ve have made more refreshment passes.

I am 70 with carry on bag. Was told to go down two flights of stairs the had to climb stairs at rear of plane. Skywalk to front of plane was not offered. I was in row 26
