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.

UA594 was delayed multiple times. I ended up getting picked up so I can make it in time for work 6AM on Monday, 7/6/2026
Friendly crew, but we were delayed for more than an hour and had to change planes due to maintenance issues.
Horrific. They missed my connecting flight to San Diego. I didn’t get there until Monday at 9am when I had a mandatory court settlement conference scheduled at 6am since we had parties on the east coast. This caused many issues. All because United apparently forgot to hold the doors open until my flight landed that only had a 10 minute delay. This was the last flight to Southern California. So I couldn’t even rent a car to finish the trip. United cannot be trusted when traveling on specific days and times since weather didn’t have anything to do with the delays.
Was a pain having to leave the plane and reboard but glad the plane was fixed
Everything got delayed we were supposed to land at 1pm and landes at 8-9 pm … was horrible
Connecting flights were poor,especially in Naples.our Lufthansa air bus was a joke.way too small for that long of a flight.no room at all.couldn’t even get out of the seats to move around or go to the bathrooms.we thought we were getting an actual air bus,double decker.i will never fly that long in a plane like that again.kind of misleading to call it an air bus.we actually had more room on our buses that we used.
For a 22 minute flight all you expect is for it to be safe and comfortable
Lost connnection had to stayON in Chicago Was a mess
Booked economy through United - air canada treated it as standby and was almost refused boarding.
Nice crew - very small plane and uncomfortable, with no entertainment options…
We were given an upgrade which provided more seat room and a meal. However seat designated overhead locker space was used by others.Boarding was delayed with part or the delay due to staff assisting diaablef individuals aboard. Personal observation would suggest that 3 individuals rorted the system. They used wheel chair access to the plane, boarding with family ahead of al other passengers, but required no assistance until boarding occurred. On departure 3 “disabled” individuals were seen walking freely near the baggage carousel. One person even assisted with a luggage trolley! The rorting is most likely widespread and not airline specific
Not good with Kayak … There is no customer service number to call ?? We have stuck at Toronto airport but air Canada don’t help because we bought tickets thru Kayak .. Kayak should have customer service number listed for help .. Very bad .. we will think twice to buy the tickets thru Kayak next time.. Ahluwalia
We paid $110 for more leg room. My traveling companion’s knees were right up against the seat in front. Where was more leg room. We feel ripped off. Food,,,there wasn’t any not even a bag of pretzels. As a result, there was very little service.
A 6 hour flt and only offered water twice the entire flight. A small bag of flavored pretzels was offered as well w/ the first round of beverages. The landing was ‘hot’ but I arrived safely. The plane was nice and new and the seats were roomie. I’m use to warmer more generous hospitality but all and all I’d fly with them again but I’d bring more water and snacks.
Headphones for the movies have too much bass and can't be adjusted. Almost impossible to hear. Great movie selections but can't really watch them because you can't hear them. Also the system is very slow.
No food for a 6 hours flight! Plus very expensive to buy ! Sit uncomfortable! Awful!!!
Air Canada didn't properly check the maintenance status of the plane prior to boarding it's passengers on to the plane. A final check before liftoff and we had to switch planes because of mechanical flaps issue.
The entertainment system is very slow. Scrolling through selections is slow.
The food and service were great! The flight was on time and comfortable.
