United Airlines

I flew in the back of the plane to Newark from Manchester last week and was impressed - good legroom in a standard economy seat.

Things do go wrong and no airline ever comes out of it smelling of roses.

Anyone else waiting for a certain pilot to come off duty and wade into this thread like a bull in a china shop?

I've always liked US airlines especially since a lovely looking lady, with a glint in her eye, asked me if I'd like a cup of TWA coffee or would I prefer TWA tea

Worth an "arf" on a Friday afternoon.

I think the only palatable airline atm that is US based is Delta and I only consider them when there is no other option. US airlines are the worst, not just in terms of service, customer relations & passenger rights/respect but the pervasive stasi atmosphere that has taken root in the travel industry within their borders

UK is not far behind, btw

Alaskan Airlines are pretty good tbf

I remember flying with them years ago and mid way through the flight they handed out questionnaires about the service etc. Question number 1 was 'Including this flight, how many times have you flown with United Airlines?' And the first option underneath was 'Never'.

This is the airline that killed a little dog when the flight attendant insisted on putting it in its carrier into an overhead bin instead of at the passenger's feet, the poor wee doggie suffocated.

Never flown with them. Years ago the missus and I were going to Italy, found a very good deal on U****d and one $200 more per person on Alitalila. Guess which one I booked, missus still does not know.

Used to fly Air Canada a lot who code share with United and often ended up on their aircraft. Definitely the worst of the worst service, more so than AA, though the latter had the biggest munters since Soviet era Aeroflot.

FFS I’m flying with air canada to Montreal from Dublin in June ..

Whats the difference between a pilot and a jet engine?

The engine stops whining shortly after it lands.

Flown with UA once; never again. Always fly Virgin/Delta when I go stateside.
