Well, this is my second flight from THE first one that I took and this one was from Manila to Guam. The flight was comfortable. I did end up in first class. However, I had to fight for it a little bit, but when I went to Guam, I had to stay an extra night there, which was accommodated by united Which I'm pleased for that. The only thing that I have to say is when a situation happens with a cancelation. And you got first class guests very important that you accommodate and make sure that they have their flights before everybody else does, because we pay big money for the service and it is not cheap also. Take note There are things that we have planned as well. So this kind of damaged the tail end of my vacation, which I lost out in $2500 worth of car rentals hotel fair in Honolulu, Hawaii. I'm really hoping that I can be reimbursed at least that money from the insurance that I have on the trip through united. I will be submitting that in as well. When I'm back in the United States, because I'm currently in Guam. Staying good night. I'm waiting for my next flight out. For tomorrow morning..

I don’t understand the purpose of the orange “priority” tag on my bag. This tagged, my bag is last or near to the last bag to come down the carousel at IAH.

The tv monitor in front of my seat was not responding. The flight crew reset it and it still didn’t work.

The agents was very rude and they charged me $50 for a carry-on bag saying that it was too big and then I saw someone going on a plane with the same size bag as me

Terrible. First of all we were delayed 4 3/4 hours departing Honolulu. As we had to leave our condo and the rental car had to be returned we had to go to the airport. Even though we had a business class boarding pass to Washington, since we did not have business class to Montreal we could not access the lounge without paying a $59 fee each. This does not make sense to us. Since we could not meet our original connection United booked us to Montreal via New York LaGuardia on Air Canada. In Washington a further delay got us into LaGuardia too late to make our connection to Montreal so we were booked on another Air Canada flight 3 hours later. We were originally scheduled to arrive in Montreal at 10:40 and arrived at 19:55. A totally exhausting day, United did not offer a meal voucher or any type of compensation. Air Canada did give us a digital meal voucher. The food in United business class is poor among all meals offered. The pods look nice but are not that confortable. Overall would not fly on United again.

Very modern plane. Good seat spacing. Meals were good. Screens had tons of movies and worked

Plenty of room for me and the cat in Premium Economy. Seat was comfortable. Boarding was a breeze. The lady at the special check-in desk was great, super helpful and professional.

For the most part united was a good experience, how ever when they came by with the snacks and water, they completely passed by my wife and I. As we were in separate rows. On a 5 hr flight we were not offered water

Fantastic crew. Flight was delayed at last minute but we were given updates every 20 minutes and the crew was so friendly and considerate. I miss the touch screens on the back of the seats, wish they would bring that back though.

Beijing PEK to SFO. I had an economy seat on this flight. The seat comfort was acceptable. My main complaint is with the FA’s lack of personality and absence from servicing the plane, specifically restroom care (I wish I could share a pic of the restroom that I captured) and care of travelers—drink cart/availability of drinks. I'm amazed at the level of service on other International travel where a passenger is most often appreciated.

Boarding crew is unfriendly as i was asked to handover carryon luggage too upto final destination Bangalore I was not prepared for that and i had to travel without my diabetic and hypertension medicines

American Airlines seemed to run a 'dry' flight. No alcohol was offered at any point with meals. Breakfast was a bit tasteless. The 'hot pocket' whatever that is, was horrid breadish pastry with very little filling. Decaf coffee was horrid. Seats didn't seem as wide or spacious as usual, especually for a ten hour flight.

They did not provide free WiFi, It could be purchased for, I think, around $25, This seemed excessive.

Less than average, low level of shared required information needed during the transfer from airport to another, also the used team during boarding In Indianapolis station is Not Professional

Reliable, great value, but not outstanding in any aspect. This is similar to the experience you get in most international carriers like Etihad or Delta.

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.

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

Lost my luggage in London Was double charged for luggage

Boarding could have been better organized. The one member of staff disappeared for a while so boarding by group relied on honesty.

I never made this flight but the staff helped to get me rebooked (see previous review)
