United Airlines

I recently flew United from SFO to IAH and had pre-selected the beef brisket meal option. It ended up being surprisingly good and now I want to try recreating it at home. So far I know it included brisket along with fontina and white cheddar cheeses, which should be easy enough...

United is quietly starting to phase out one of the most iconic long-haul aircraft in modern aviation history. The airline is reducing Boeing 757 transatlantic operations by about 16% this summer, with several international routes seeing cuts or complete removal. For decades, the...

My original trip was supposed to be a nonstop flight on an A319, but I woke up and found out it had been cancelled and I had been rebooked. Normally a cancellation would be frustrating, but this one unexpectedly worked out in a way I was pretty excited about as an avgeek. It...

I want to preface this by saying I should have read more clearly, but I booked this flight last minute and made a mistake. I was flying from Greensboro to Houston with a connection at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). I arrived at the airport early and went to find...

Aloha, I am a Honolulu-based traveler and wanted to share some thoughts on how United’s Hawaii service has changed over the years. While Hawaiian Airlines still has a strong connection to local culture and identity, I have been impressed by how much United has improved its...

On a 6 to 7 hour domestic flight, it feels unreasonable that there is no proper meal service, no in-flight entertainment, and no WiFi. Calling it a “premium” experience does not match reality when basic needs like food are only covered by a limited buy-on-board option that feels...

It looks like United’s newest route is operating a transatlantic flight on a 737, and the load factors appear quite low. It almost seems like passengers are not too excited about flying across the Atlantic on a narrow-body aircraft like the 737, especially for a long haul sector.

I spotted a United Airlines advertisement on a yellow taxi in Lower Manhattan this morning. I have also met quite a few people in Manhattan who do not realize that Newark (EWR) is actually their closest international airport, so I think this is a pretty clever way to advertise...

I recently booked a United flight using miles and a 10,000 mile certificate. I am not very experienced with award travel, so I was surprised by what I found. The itinerary was a short regional flight to ORD followed by a longer flight to another regional airport. The “First...

I booked the Studio suite for my upcoming SFO to LHR flight on 5/11, specifically choosing an earlier and more expensive option to try it out once. When I checked recently, I noticed United had changed the aircraft and the Polaris cabin layout now shows the older configuration...

Just got this email for a trip I booked about 5 months from now saying my seats have been changed. I don’t understand why United keeps doing this. I originally selected the seats we wanted as a family, but they have now been reassigned. My kids are older and can sit on their own...

I recently flew United from Chicago to San Francisco and was seated in 11E, a middle seat. During the flight, I discovered that the under-seat storage space was almost completely blocked by onboard equipment installed beneath the seat in front of me. There was only a few inches...

Planes apparently awaiting disposal.
