2.0 Poor

Derrick, Dec 2025

Very turbulent trip made it pretty bearable, plus the lack of refreshments served and the lack of any air conditioning before takeoff which took an hour or more.

2.0 Poor

Mukund, Dec 2025

Flight was late - I was downgraded from first class to coach

2.0 Poor

Mukund, Dec 2025

Not good - outbound flight was delayed and missed my connection even though I got to the gate after running through the airport - the agent would not let me on because the door was closed (flight had not left). There was no notification from United - overall experience was very disappointing. Additionally, I was downgraded from first class to coach on the alternative flight
