It also adds an extra 30 minutes for take-off and landing. Your exact time may vary depending on wind speeds. If you're planning a trip, remember to add more time for the plane to taxi between the gate and the airport runway. This measurement is only for the actual flying time. They had this 15 years ago, how do they not have it now.
Pros: "We arrived on time. The seats were cramped and the online entertainment was terrible. On an overseas flight, I expect in that there will be on-screen entertainment on the back of the seat in front of me. Instead, the movie was projected on a screen in the middle seats on an overhead that was about 10 rows away.
Plus, you didn't get to pick your movie. You were stuck with the selections provided by the airline. I would have brought along my DVD player or laptop had I know this was going to happen. American flight crews are not as friendly and accommodating as European flight crews, which is why I try not to select an American carrier.
Seats are less comfortable on American carriers also. Great trip, thank you United Airlines" Cons: "All great". Pros: "Flight was quick and easy" Cons: "Seats are small. Luckily the flight is short bit for anything longer than one hour I do not recommend this aircraft". Pros: "Price line is better not thief like you yu take my money for nothing my husband not traveling your given me fake tickets. Pros: "The boarding process was good. Departed on time and arrived on time.
Pros: "One passenger was removed from the plane after 3 times he was warned about removing his mask before takeoff. Due to Covid19, United was boarding by row, from the rear to the front. Unfortunately, the plane was almost packed. Cons: "United Airlines in our experience runs late putting a lot of pressure on any ongoing connections. Not clean. Staff not friendly. Only sometimes helpful. Pros: "Nothing, to be honest.
We did get a tiny bag of pretzels and were supposed to get either water or juice, but we never saw a beverage. Also, my seat's entertainment did not work. I have never been so uncomfortable on a flight, and I fly a dozen times a year for the last 25 years. Pros: "I liked everything was excellent" Cons: "There was a 10 minutes delay". Pros: "Nothing! However, checking the monitors in the terminal showed the correct gate was B21, which is on the opposite end of the terminal.
I don't know why Kayak had the wrong information on this. We barely made our connecting flight because our starting flight was over 30 minutes late, which was United's fault. This made rushing to the correct gate for our connecting flight all the more stressful.
No time to stop at the bathrooms or pick up something to eat. Both United and Kayak let me down on getting back to Hartford. We arrived at the end of boarding with no room left for our bags in the overheads so we had to check them and pick them up at the carousel. A totally BAD flight experience. Pros: "TV and movie choices should be according to instead of Also TV should be from running Era". Pros: "My trip started off with airplane problems from the beginning.
From my flight being delayed multiple times by air china to the overly packed united to the confusion of the non updated confirmation numbers or the e-ticket number. Even on the day I left upon arriving to the airport my confirmation number they had just given me after all the prior problems still didn't work. Air china had mediocre food with okay entertainment except my headset jack on the TV was broke and I couldn't watch anything. On the last air china flight from Bejing to Bangkok.
I couldn't even charge my phone, watch any entertainment and basically was just stuck with no WiFi. Justfly wouldn't compensate for the changes on their end and said I myself would have to ask the airlines for compensation which the. Now I'm finally in Thailand but I'm scared of my return.
Air china had mediocre food that some of it wasn't bad but other was so so. Pros: "Nothing" Cons: "Pilot admitted error. They did not even know what was going on. No supervisor came even though we asked the captain to contact one. We were ignored. Total clusterfuck. Pilot was courteous and professional but front desk was Frazzled and incompetent. We were hugely inconvenienced and missed our obligations with no offer of compensation.
Then when we finally get on the plane they kick us off!!!!!!!!!! Now they are saying a departure for a 2 pm flight. This is beyond acceptable and I am about to call the local news and am sending them video of your gross incompetence. I want to be contacted at immediately. My time is valuable and no part of this delay is acceptable.
I want full flight vouchers for this debacle". Pros: "Captain and crew were brilliant, kept passengers informed throughout as to the delays, as a result all passengers were patient and understanding. Not much more could have been done to improve the experience as the snow and conditions at Dublin airport were out of their hands. My husband is upset.
It happened again. Very disappointing. We think the airline doing this intentionally. Pros: "The price was unreal so I had to jump on this, I was able to get on and off with my backpack no problem. The flights were good, captains were very communicative about times, expectations and when turbulence was present. When I got to the check in it was like watching a special forces team measuring and prodding peoples bags to get them in to the little box even when the shapes were the reason they couldn't fit, not the size of the bags.
I literally watched someone fit their bag and the attendant take it out and make it misshaped for the box and show how it didn't slide in. I had no issues with my luggage, but that sucked to watch happen to others.
The food and drinks came about 10 minutes before the plane landed. Pros: "There were extra seats due to few passengers. We were very timely in leaving and landing. The dinner was good. I had pasta with spinich and a red and white sause. Very tasty and hot. They came around with plenty of water. The ticket price was very reasonable. So, there was no internet to purchase as the emails from Lufthansa claimed there would be. I woke up in the middle of the night and went to 3 open seats and laid across them.
It was dark and I did not realize that I had moved to Economy Plus. The flight attendant told me that I should not have been there, that she could have charged me for the difference in the seat. Prior to this I felt pretty good about the flight. There was no reason for her to treat me that way. It was apparent that it was a mistake and not done purposely. Pros: "The crew The entertainment options The power options The drinks" Cons: "10 minutes earlier and the food would have been better.
Pros: "crew was nice" Cons: "I feel like airlines are becoming like used cars salesmen. Next up you will charge for our air conditioners to work which by the way they didn't. I have never been so uncomfortable on a flight in my life.
Couldn't even bend down to get something under my seat because of the lack of space between rows. Also the air conditioner was extremely warm and the pressure of the air did not reach the seat. I was sticking to the chair because it was so warm. It just sucks that air travel has gone the way of every other industry that values quantity over quality.
Pros: "Crew help and service" Cons: "Lending was bumpy. Pros: "They got my vegetarian food order right" Cons: "Old airplanes both there and back, we had a choice of a few movies on a TV that we couldn't access on demand so you had to start half way through, and the quality was appalling. We were supposedly promised we could stream onto our devices via wifi but this didn't happen".
Pros: "The flight crew was attentive and polite. Also, the seat space and amenities are so inferior to international flights. The narrowness of the seat and closeness of the rows makes it hard to be comfortable. After being treated to two meals on the international flight, one small two-inch bag of snack mix is almost pointless.
Pros: "It got us from a to b but not much more to be said! Pros: "Helpful finding next flight worried can my son it UN traveled and is in a standby I pray he gets on this flight I am really worried. If he does he will arrive at pm if not For mistakes beyond his control saying prayers.
I need to be on this flight so bad. If I dont make it i have no clue what i will Do. I need to keep my stress down and just prY i get on this flight which would have me i. Knox about pm if not i have no clue what to do. Once plane lands to get to other boarder term and Al. Cons: "Such a downgrade from other airlines! They board backwards. Usually the back seats board on the plane after the special needs people. Makes more sense, people are out of the way.
My water was poured into a cup from a big water battle. I like how Jetblue gives me a personal water bottle and a variety of snack option. I was given a "snack mix" on this flight which was not good. I hated this flight and there were NO televisions, or usb ports to charge phones. Never again. They didn't even have enough room for carry on bags for everyone. Thank god I packed light and didn't need to use that option. Good to know United Airlines has crappy everything.
Pros: "I liked that we arrived on time and that the entertainment actually worked properly. We were told that's all there was left. We gave back our tray. I don't mind going without food for a flight but my husband had surgery die to diverticulitis and can only eat certain food.
The flight attendant said that she was going to check if there is anything left in first class but it took for ever and I become impatient as the light were turned off and people were getting ready to sleep. So I switch on the light and another flight attendant came by. I explained the situation but she came back with the same Indian vegetarian dish we turned away.
After more frustration and explanation the Stewart came with the. Hi Ken version. I gave my husband my share and he was able to finally take his medication and eat the chicken with the bread. I only ate the ice cream and had a glass of wine.
Later on the first flight attendant who served us the meal came with a couple of oranges and a bag of chips. Saying she got this from first class. I kept the oranges and gave her back the chips. Floghing with United is very disappointing to put it mildly. Pros: "There was a good entertainment system with a lot of new options. I went to the international terminal to discover it is not there.
I then asked multiple aiport staff members if they heard of Brussels Airlines and they said they did not. One person said it may be terminal 1, so I went there based on very little information and with hopes it would be there. I got to terminal 1 to discover there is no Brussels Airlines.
I walked to Lufthansa because my return flight is through them, but it was not there either. At this point I have 45 min to make it through security and board, and no one can tell me where Brussels Airlines is. The good news is the flight was delayed, and I got an email from United Airlines with the flight status.
This is the first time I was contacted by United and there was a completly different flight number than the itinerary. United should be more clear on the airline and terminal information for international flights! Pros: "Nothing!!! It was handled in a terrible way" Cons: "The way they didn't care". Pros: "From what I encountered at the crack of dawn this morning The staff handled somnolent, irratable passengers in a full capacity , with nothing but unwaivering efforts and kindness.
As for that rude, pompous pig of a woman up in front.. I can't imagine the staff being particularly fond of the idea of spending an hour delay with your continuous, huffy bitching in their ear. Be transparent. Luckily, met a great guy who had no issues switching! Cons: "We reserved wheelchair assistance prior to the flight.
We had to wait an extended amount of time to actually get the wheelchair assistance with 5 kids 7 and under. Due to the wait we almost missed our flight, we were literally the last to board the plane. We were hoping to grab some breakfast for the kids as we had a long flight and did not have time to do so because of this delay. This is why we called ahead to reserve the wheelchair. The people checking in did not seem to care about the delay and only told us to be patient.
Sad, unfortunate experience with accessibility issues. Cons: "several people assigned to the same seats, mine included. Pros: "Some of the people I dealt with were nice. All of the flight attendants and pilots were nice. Told us our bags would be checked all the way through, and they weren't. Checked bag got lost on the way back again, due to misinformation from United on whether our bag would be checked all the way through , and when we got them back they had obviously been rooted through, with no note left by TSA.
I fly often, and this was one of the worst flying experiences of my life. Pros: "I didn't like much. The employees were great and that's about it! And of those four flights they have been delayed for three of them. To be specific about this flight, straight off the bat the flight was late due to a late arriving plane.. Then to top it off they had no pilot. So then the 1.
But I'm still waiting for the flight so the wait could be even longer yet. The airline should consider refunding everyone's money on this flight. An hour delay is one thing, but four hours is uncalled for. Never flying with United again.
Cons: "Delay and then having to change gates - at O"Hare that means walking and walking some more!! After being insulted during check in. During the two hour delay I could have used it!!
Poor service I will fly American from now on!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: "Crew staff went out of his way to find something for my aisle to snack on when the person next to me asked if there was any snacks on the plane. The plane had to be changed for another plane due to a mechanical issue on the first plane, and the new plane had not been stocked with food after it's previous flight, yet the crew member was able to scrounge up some snacks for us!
Also got complimentary directtv - nice, but doesn't make up for not getting home in time yet again. I have flown it maybe times in the past 2. I have had only 3 round trip flights go without a hitch. Every other trip was delayed. This time 4 hours on my return flight to Boston due to a plane switch, boarding of a new plane to discover a mechanical issue, deboarding, waiting for a new plane, then boarding and sitting on the ground for another 40 min before we were able to take off.
I was delayed 1. Still doesn't top but my worst 5 hour delay in Chicago on the way back to Boston because the captain didn't show up. United is atrocious and is my last choice or any airline. Only fly when I'm absolutely forced to now due to no other reasonable choices. They are below delta, JetBlue, American, southwest, and embarrassingly, spirit as well. Cons: "We were connecting to this flight after flying in from Rome.
Initially we were scheduled for an pm flight, but after landing early asked if we could change to an earlier flight. They graciously bumped us up to a pm flight, which trimmed our 4-hour layover down to 3pm. Cut to pm Cons: "While happy to have pilots concerned about my safety, it was frustrating to suffer thru 2 different mechanical delays. The first one was a missing rivet - which turned out to be so bad they had to put Us in a different plane. When you are on 2 broken planes in a row with the same airline you start to to wonder about how well they are maintaining their equipment.
I feel like I deserve more than a "sorry" for the use of my extra time, but no credit or flight certificate was forthcoming. Pros: "First of all, the crew was amazing. I had just been traveling for about 20 hours and I had a seat towards the back of the economy section.
After traveling that long, I was getting antsy to be at my destination, and I asked the gate agent if she could bump me to a row towards the front of economy- thankfully the plane wasn't full, and she was able to!
It's the little things like that, that are what make me fly United. Also, the cabin crew on the flight was great! Of course, the economy section of the plane wasn't an ideal amount of space, but come on- it was an hour flight, and they did a good job of trying to spread people out so that the rows weren't packed. I believe they said the overnight flight got in a little late and they still had to clean the plane. We boarded late, but still got to our destination early. Negative turned into a positive- you can't beat that!
Pros: "Quick flight. We boarded the plane on time however had to sit on it during the delay. We were not informed of what was going on until we had already been waiting for 30 minutes. When they informed us of the delay they offered everyone free direct TV in flight to make up for the delay.
Once we finally took off they announced that the direct TV was not actually working. The flight attendant making the announcements was not sincere and rather unprofessional. Luckily the pilot flew fast so we ended up arriving only 10 minutes late. Pros: "We received a free video service for the flight" Cons: "First of all the flight was booked for a plane which was too large to land in Providence. So either way we were going to have a longer day and extra leg After running to the gate because my first flight was late taking off, this flight was delayed due to engine issues.
So instead of taking off at pm, we took off at 9 pm and still had to catch a bus from Boston to Providence Pros: "The fact that you serve a small complimentary drink and snack on such a short flight was extremely appreciated.
It seems most airlines either won't serve on a short flight or charge you extra. Also, I absolutely love the new seats on the planes you guys have been using for quite a while now. As a disabled person, the bulky seats still employed by many planes on other airlines are incredibly hard on me getting in and out of the seat isles. The crew was very efficient and kind.
I also appreciate the thank you to military personnel that they announced at the end of the flight. It was a minor inconvenience. Flight was a bit late getting out, but still arrived at designated time. Complimentary Wifi would be pretty nice, but not expected. Cons: "Lack of communication. Kept us belted down for s very long time. Lacked food service, lacked water service till the very end of the lock down.
Then we were given the option to leave the plane as the doors were to be disarmed. But if we did the plane could get clearence and leave with no warning. I missed my connecting transportation, had to scrape my weekend plans, currently searching for a place to stay tonight while they locate my bag. I am cold and left my jacket in my bag. The United counter people are blaming it on the weather. I am sure everything was delayed by the laxadaysical baggage loader. The one person or lack of help loading the bags on the plane completely altered my travel plans.
I requested assistance for hotel only to be told they are full when in fact several are vacant on the Internet. I should of videotaped the baggage loading in Canada, it would of went viral. When I got to the counter they said they had no record of my reservation. When I showed them the Lufthansa reservation they told me it actually was for a United flight, even though it clearly said Lufthansa. I had to wait another 45 minutes in the United line to retrieve my boarding pass, then about another hour to go through passport control and security.
I barely made my flight. I will never make a reservation through Kayak again. I am deleting your app. Pros: "Punctuality" Cons: "Food. It is a very long time and there no food enough". Pros: "flight attendants were pleasant. I would push the button to turn tv off but it would come back on less than five minutes latter. I had my head phones in listening to personal device but was still distracting. Pros: "-Pounctuality" Cons: "- Horrible food; - Very old airplane.
The oldest I ever flew; - The entertainment system was horrible and not worked. We came the whole flight without having access to anything, neither the map of the flight.
