Uneventful and pleasant flight from Boston and layover in Houston on the way to Cancun. The gates were a fairly long walk but still we made it with plenty of time and despite a gate change, the gate agents were super in informing the passengers with plenty of time. I know that some folks will be dismayed at having to check their carryons, but they were adamant that folks in later groups gate checked their luggage. That alleviated the overhead situation greatly in a full plane. Their emergency exit seats have more legroom than most of the other Economy Plus seating - highly recommend. On the way to Boston, we had ordered their breakfast sandwiches and they came to us a third into the flight, hot, tasty and just on time. We got to Cancun on time, superb flight. read more

You can't take us off the plane without notice just because "you thought" we were not going to make it. You can't say you can't get us back on. Michele C. At the gate was the "super smart" person that not only did that but when we asked to have our PAID seats back she made a huge deal how she couldn't. After a little bit of not backing down she puts us in the exit seat and away from each other, seriously the best you could have done? What about move the people that you just gave our tickets to the exit seats?? Horrible experience with both flights and it was our 1st time flying United. Both planes had mechanical issues and had to be delayed a few hours. We supposed to have been in our final destination at 2:30pm local time and ended up arriving at 9:30pm! We had a 3:30 hour drive to our hotel!!!! A full wasted day in our vacation. What does United given in return? $15 dollars nice try... read more

Man this flight was a doozy! As we were boarding we got a notification that the flight was delayed. Like reaaaaaal delayed. And you know the feeling when you're ready to get TF home, shower, and get in your own bed? Yeah you know it because I do too! Additional notifications and updates came through while we were walking to load the overhead bins and grab our seats. Welp, the bin right above our seats was full so I had to find another empty area, then in effort to not hold up traffic I ended up waiting in the back with the flight attendant while EVERYONE ELSE BOARDED. Annoyed lol. We then learned that the "loading supplies" were late and thats why we were delayed. The first class passengers meals were not delivered in a timely fashion because someone forgot to do something. A whole lot of noise that I did not want to hear. Eventually though, I made it to my seat and buckled up. Cool. Yall thought this review was over? It's not. The passengers behind me did nothing, and I mean nothing to tame/monitor/stop/control/calm their children. They tore my seat the fuck up! My back!! Our backs!! They screamed loudly, kicked my seat the entire flight, and annoyed the shit out of me. I understand that children are children, I get it! But my goodness, get control of your damn kids bruh!! Worst flight of my life. Thankful to be back home. We had the seats with extra legroom and that was nice. But whatever. Oh! We did eventually get back on track and made it home within the originally estimated timeframe. read more

I usually fly Hawaiian, but have taken other airlines at times. We were on our way from Honolulu to Dallas with a layover in Houston. Since, this is United's hub, we were expecting great things from them. This is one of their smaller planes, since the flight was only an hour and fifteen minutes. They had an iPad in back of each seat for you to use. I just took a quick nap. Service was good and the flight attendants were nice. read more

The United app, has a flaws that need to be repaired. Adding my KTN number should indeed apply to my boarding pass, when it does not. Which results in going through standard line, verses the Pre check line which is completely cleared of any line and wait time. Finding my way back to the customer service kiosk to add my KTN number just to return back to Pre check line was time wasted, but not as much as it would've been standing in the standard line. I pay extra for pre check to not remove my shoes, jackets, belts and whatever else is standard required. Please update the KTN number when guest entered it in on their profiles and allow them to be printed it out on their boarding pass. (Really didn't make sense because I even added my boarding pass to my wallet, so everything was via electronic. I had this problem on my departure and return flight. read more

Dear Flight Attendant, I don't know how to operate the reclining seat in first class - can you help me? FA says: "No, I don't know how." "Maybe ask your FA on the next flight." Me: "ok." "Thank you?" Great flight otherwise! read more

It was about a 3.5 star experience rounded up to 4 stars. I say this because there are some things that United does better than other airlines. Although, I absolutely hate their forced automated baggage tag & drop process at IAH. It was a cluster trying to find a machine that was online to print out our luggage tags, and even in the priority section. Too many people trying to do the same thing in one area. But wait, that's not all. You still have to go through this Disney World queue to give your bag and luggage tags to the attendant. Fortunately, he was very friendly and efficient in moving the line along. The boarding process is very organized compared to others. I love that they actually use their 3 lanes (Pre-boarding, Group 1, and Group 2). What a novel idea! That's how you control the gate lice. Very well done! The flight itself was good. The domestic United First seats are comfortable even though they are somewhat dated. They still have in-flight entertainment built into the seat in front of you. I kind of like it that way. A meal wasn't offered on this flight. However, the snack and drink selections were good. They serve illy coffee which is definitely a step up. I forgot my ear buds, but thankfully they had some. It was a good flight! Would I fly United Airlines again? Yes, but only for direct flights from TPA. It was nice to finally use up all of our built up miles in exchange for 2 round-trip tickets. That's another good thing about this airline. Their reward points never expire. That's hard to find nowadays. read more

United Airlines - A view of the plane before boarding time - Airlines Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decided to splurge on my accumulated United mileage with upgraded seats for Doc and I to fly from San Diego to Houston to Mexico City. Although no meals were served complimentary like Hawaiian Air both flights offered you your choice of snacks: savory pretzel mix, a waffle cookie or a chocolate sea salt cookie. Both flights were under 4 hours which was great. Lucky for us Doc had bought both of us a Trader Joes protein pack of salami, almonds and Parmesan chips. You can also purchase a boxed snack on board. Impressive array of drinks to choose from, regular items that other airlines offer plus sparkling waters and cranberry cocktail drink. One flight you pick up an alcohol wipe and earphones. It had a cool interactive map so you knew where you were at a particular moment with remaining flight time til landing. The other flight had no screen at all. That flight was delayed awhile but if you have WiFi you'll get a text about the delay and more. read more

United is our preferred airline. We usually always choose them for our rewards miles and stuff like that. They definitely stepped up for our Toronto trip as well. Air Canada literally cancelled every single outbound flight that day and were just overall providing horrible service, so we got our flight rebooked to United, and the lady who helped us at the airport was also like the only nice person/knowledgeable person we even interacted with. Everyone else had no idea what was going on. read more

Making our United connection through IAH was miserable today. On paper, we had 43 minutes to change planes that included a 13-minute walk from gate C36 to C4. In reality we had about 20 minutes. First, our arrival gate was still occupied by another aircraft, and we waited on the tarmac to get to the gate. Then, we weren't off our plane until boarding had started at C4. read more

For airline review, I place a higher premium on the staff. Delays and gate changes are nebulous curiosities of how and why United has thus far (2 Years, 10 trans-Atlantic flights) been a much more pleasant experience in air travel and this I attribute to the staff. They have been friendly and don't seem to to hate their job or their company like some others ( American Airlines) I abandoned AA after 20 years as they have continued to strip away anything that was of value to the passengers, monitising every last thing they could including the AAdvantage program. My bank is my bank, I don't need to move my financial world to an airline for a crappy club experience and pissed off employees. Thanks United staff for mostly continued smiles and solid service of your passenger clientele. read more

Made it home safely! The flight from San Francisco to Houston was good, the boarding process was a little rocky but turned out smooth once computer systems were restored. We got a blanket, refreshing drinks and snacks. I had a middle seat which was a little cramped but I was happy to be heading home so it was not a problem. This was a totally packed flight so no room for error. The flight attendants were not as friendly as the other flights that day but it was really early in the morning. read more

I used to recommend United and flying out of IAH...but after tonight... i will be switching airlines! This had been terrible! First the board us at 6:30 for a 7:20 flight on a huge 777, then 2min before we are supposed to be rollin out i get a text saying there is a 30min delay, finally several minutes later they come on and say they have to defuel which makes no sense... the plane was originally headed to Honolulu so if it can fly with a full tank... it can fly to Houston.... Then they come on again said another delay 10-15min cuz they they are waiting on the defuel truck... then again 10min later... fuel truck arrived 20-25min to removed fuel... so we left an hour late!! And set on the plane for an hour!!! Then we land at 11:17, im at baggage claim at 11:35.... Here we are 12:47 and our luggage is still not here. They came on 25min ago saying they located the rest of it and it was on the way... came over intercom 5min ago said it just arrived at cargo ( it took u 20min to get it to cargo? The airport aint that big!!!). And still not here!!! read more

What can I say?? It's United. It is what it is...a hit or miss. I've had some terrible flights and some amazing flights. Being that this was my first flight in 5 years, I can't complain since I didn't know to expect...what has changed, etc. Historically, I have not been a fan of this airport as it is extremely confusing to navigate specifically when arriving. But this time I had a little more time to just walk around when arriving and when departing. They charge for e v e r y thing: -seat selection -extra leg room -checking in bags -gate checking in bags (esp if group 6 or no overhead compartment available) Did I miss anything?? Basic snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are free. Hopefully passengers won't be charged to walk the aisle or use the bathroom in the future!! I don't remember having to pay upwards of ~$20 for selecting my seat in the past...but since they bundle seat selection and 1 check-in bag, I opted for that ($40 each, total $80 one way). Since I booked a United "Basic Economy", I was only allowed a personal item and ended up in Group 6. Boo. Since it was a short flight, I didn't need the bells and whistles, just leg room and aisle seat. The flight attendants were either super friendly or just cordial. I had the bare minimum interaction with them. The United hub at both IAH is quite large with plenty of bathrooms and a Starbucks. There are also plenty of eating options and charging stations. Since I don't like airport food and always bring my own food, I have many seating options... Including the ones at the gates. The United app is just fantasic. While I tend to be a bit archaic at times...I loved being able to do almost anything flight-related through the app. This includes checking-in for the flight, adding a check-in bag, viewing the gate/carousel number, etc. They really made everything seamless with minimal interaction. There is also the option to share the trip tracking and boarding passes with others via messaging, WhatsApp, etc. This is especially useful for those picking up passengers. Would I take United again? Yes, of course as long as it's a direct domestic flight. read more

The seats are tight for leg room if you are tall. I would say the service overall was good. Both flights I had seat 29A. The flight attendants offered free headphones to watch movies/shows while during the flight. The snacks were good as well. Overall from the booking and flight I would give United Airlines 5 stars. read more

United Airlines - Airlines Near Me - Houston, Texas

Update. Arrived at LAX. LA paramedics entered flight to help an elderly out first. The connecting flight was leaving from the International Terminal called Tom Bradley. It was chaotic. The United app directions to walk to Tom Brady minus security and without the bus didn't work. They closed off the section after you went down the escalator opposite 64A per app directions. Waited for a bus. Some waited for more than 1 hour for this bus. After it dropped us off, it was still a long walk to Tom Bradley International Terminal but we didn't have to clear security despite unclear information that we did from United app and some staff. Took a leap of faith with the lady managing the bus line who said we didn't have to clear security. What choice did I have? Take the bus and try to make it for my flight. Or miss it. This bus could be a one-off thing. I got a phone call from SQ to provide the updated gate number, check where I was as well as provide or confirm my direction with the bus. Even they thought I have to clear security again with the bus. Never walked so fast. Just made it for the flight and no security! Dripping sweat! I recommend SFO over LAX for transit as it's a lot more straightforward. read more

United Airlines - No TSA recheck line for Terminal C. But app instructions were right on. Thank you! - Airlines Near Me - Houston, Texas

Not the worst airline, but they can do better. The gates here in Houston are OK, they could use more regular benches instead of tables, a strange idea. Customer service is better, boarding not too crazy. The planes could use more cleaning, I did find empty boxes on my seat, no one bothers to clean well, after COVID and all. Flight attendants could be nicer, it's the luck of the moment. Otherwise, you will with deals, which makes layovers stressful. You always have to check and see if you'll make your connection! read more

Not sure who to blame. I tell people don't fly to IAH Bush Airport. This is one example of why I personally don't use this airport. I have a feeling that United Airlines was trying to make things right. This review is about my experience dropping off a friend at the Bush International Airport. I really wanted to scream at this misinformation on UA's website and the airport. Construction made everything so confusing, not just drop off but also pick up. This is why I avoid IAH airport like you know what. I helped him check in before arriving at the airport. I took pictures of the instructions as a driver. The problem is that I couldn't remember the complicated directions and there was no way to look at them while I was driving to find my way around. We ended up getting lost and circling around the terminal. Don't panic, I said. But I was panicking big time. My cell phone lost data signal and my GPS suddenly shut down. I had no idea where to turn but looking at the misinformed direction signs. There are 2 drop-off points on level 2 of Terminal C. First one on the driveway was for privileged passengers. Further down was for less fortuned passengers. Gee, that reminds me of Titanic movie. I didn't know when I was driving. So, I dropped him off at the first door. I guess he found his way around. I got a message an hour later, he already passed TSA and waiting at the gate. After I dropped him off, I went to find parking and walked to the observation deck to see the incoming and outgoing traffic on 2nd level. It looked like a giant fish tank. I don't think people below could see me. It was actually boring. So, I went home. read more

I am extremely disappointed with United Airlines' handling of a hotel booking made through their 'package' service. When I checked out of the hotel, I received an official invoice for $1,600. However, United Airlines charged me $2,300 for the stay. When I contacted United to dispute the overcharge, their explanation was completely unacceptable: "United pays &1,600, but we charged you $2,300. NO breakdown, no justification for the $700 difference, and no attempt to resolve the issue. This feels like price gouging with zero transparency. If United is handling hundreds of dollars in undisclosed markups, customers deserve to be clearly informed BEFORE booking. Instead, I was charged significantly more than the hoteles actual invoice and given no real explanation afterward. I expected better from a major airline. Until this resolved. I cannot recommend booking hotels & cars through United Airlines. I know for me it will be the last!!! read more

Why have I missed my connecting flight three times over the past five years with this airline? Why, because they always leave late from the gate. Today, my flight was 2 1/2 hours late leaving from San Juan Puerto Rico. We arrived at IAH 15 minutes after our connecting flight left. Then, they send us to this crappy cigarette smelling motel that was supposed to be the red lion in, but it was actually the comfort Inn. What a disgusting experience. I will never fly United Airlines ever ever ever ever ever again. Then they only give us a $15 voucher for food. What food at the airport cost $15?! And then finally, they book a flight for us the next morning and put us in the back row by the restroom in the crappy seats. Won't fly United Airlines ever again! read more

I don't know what it is with United, but they seem to play a game of musical chairs when it comes to assigning planes to a gate. I flew in from Chicago and the airline had changed my gate three times in the hours leading up to my departing flight. Fortunately they were all in the same terminal. We had to wait on the runway for a while after landing because our gate was occupied by another plane and it wasn't moving. On the way to Houston, my original gate was in the B terminal but after landing it was switched to the A terminal. I took the sky train to the A terminal and then 10 minutes later I get a notification saying my gate had changed again and I was supposed to be back in the B terminal. I had a short layover so all this running around didn't give me any time to relax before my flight. After all of that, the plane was late taking off because of a pileup of other planes competing to get off the ground. read more

Today 10/17/2025 i took a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Houston on flight UA 1410 and some guy that was supposed to be in 15a was allowed to sit next to me in seat 15b. The guy was weird from the jump because I was sitting in the aisle seat & he tried to get between my legs to get to the middle seat & he tried to block me from standing up to get in the aisle so he could get in his seat. I had to tell him" I'm not going to let you get between my legs" Initially i alerted the skinny blonde female flight attendant that this seat was supposed to be vacant. Her response was "the plane hasn't finished boarding, but you can tell the gate agent" we were already on the flight so idk who tf that was. The guy kept touching me with his arm the whole flight. Literally. I don't care where my arm was, on the armrest, folded in front of me, even in my lap! I had to call the flight attendant again & this time the plus sized flight attendant came & she motioned to him to keep his arm within the contines of his seat because he didn't speak English, only egbo & Spanish. Even when the the plane landed i stood up in the aisle & the guy stood up and went out of his way to press his arm against mine. I finally snapped & told him to stop fkn touching me! It might've been understandable yeah he was morbidly obese, but this guy was 150lbs. United Airlines is the only company that you can still be allowed to touch someone without consequence Post the me-too era. I don't know if this needs to go to the governor's chair but someone needs to do something because they're allowing people that force themselves on others into this country. It's no big deal until it happens to a yt male the next time. Imagine your grandfather flying in for the Christmas holiday. & being touched against his will by some random man. Excuse any grammatical errors I typed this as I was on the way home from the airport, but I was so angry. I had to let everyone know. read more

I was going to Minot North Dakota for my little sister's funeral. The flight was supposed to leave at 730 am from Las Vegas. We didn't leave until 810 am. By time I got to Denver the plane was boarding. I had to try and walk down to the a concord to take a shuttle to the gate. Needless to say I missed my flight. To get a hold of someone to help me reschedule was a nightmare. I sat on hold for 25 minutes as my phone was at 30 percent. They finally answered and it was a process of about 25 minutes to get it rescheduled. I flew out at 800 pm. Then on the way back they left Minot late again. Late about 35 minutes. Got to Denver and had to basically walk from one concord to the tram again But time I got to the gate it was final boarding call. I almost missed my flight again. I will never fly United again read more

Booked a flight on their website and got a good price. Then when you click to choose your seat all of the seats were economy plus or extra leg room and cost more money. I looked and it appeared all the seats on the plane had an up charge. Very annoying to be quoted a price and find that the price quoted could never be the actual price. Aside from that the planes are usually nice and the flight crew is usually nice as well. I usually have a good flight, just the pricing part really irritated me. read more

Wow, we have had some issues with air travel lately! We usually fly another airline, but decided to give United another try. It has been ok in the past. Our last trip included delays, a cancellation, weather issues, technical issues, a broken suitcase, and my personal favorite, idling on the tarmac for 45 mins to burn excess fuel so our plane wouldn't be so heavy. Throughout all of the issues, I will say that the staff remained calm, helpful and kind. That doesn't make up for all the problems we encountered though. read more

On UAL fight 614 from Houston to Sacramento on Jan 7, 2023, my husband switched his Vietnam Veterans cap to a warm beanie due to the forecasted inclement weather in Sacramento. His precious Vietnam Veterans cap with several commemorative pins, was left on the plane when we disemkbarked! I filed a "lost item" form online as soon as we returned home and realized it was not with our baggage (he had probably lost it when he had changed to his beanie), along with a selfie I had shot prior to takeoff in Houston. I received an acknowledgment email then several "system tracking" update emails letting me know that they had not found the cap; however, it was still an "active" case. On Feb 4, I received an email with a travel voucher for $150 (!!) as a "good will gesture" to be used for flight, baggage, etc with an expiration of a whole year to 2/4/2024! Well, on Feb 10, I received an email that stated UAL had LOCATED the cap in Houston and options were given as to its return. AMAZING! We were so happy to be able to get his sentimental Vietnam Veterans cap back, we opted to pay the shipping to have it returned. I have lost and placed several reports to Hawaiian Air and NEVER received such caring responses and a resolution PLUS an unsolicited financial perk! You can be sure we will be telling EVERYONE about the caring, expedient service that United Airlines provides-they truly care about their passengers!! Thank you United Airlines!!! read more

United Airlines - Ready for takeoff! UAL flight 614 homeward bound to Sacramento! - Airlines Near Me - Houston, Texas

Our flight was canceled going to Puerto Vallarta because of Cartel violence. We were told to talk to an agent and they would get our bags off the plane. We waited 4 hours and still don't have them. When we asked where they were United Airlines "agents" they were snappy with us and one said "you might wait all night" and clearly didn't care to try helping us. I've seen tons of passengers asking for help and not one United Airlines employee has been friendly, helpful, or even looked like they were trying to care. I always thought United was a great airlines but I will never fly with them after this nightmare is over. We are delayed to tomorrow and think we will get a hotel voucher? Yeah right! My wife waited for 30 minutes to ask about that and the agent was just telling everyone "just wait, we can't help you". Absolutely the worst customer service I've ever had. read more

Unfortunate discomfort. The plane flight # UA 6240 from Houston, TX to Memphis, TN was on time. I was on time as well. The Flight Attendant working First Class greeted everyone entering the plan. I was seated in the rear this being a short notice flight and my seating was perfect with no issues. When I was about to sit, I noticed that there were cleaning wipes on the seats and the Attendant working Coach removed them. However right before the flight took off I and the other guest was moved from our seats only to be placed in less comfortable sitting arrangements to the point I literally could not sit erect and had to lean uncomfortably for the flight. I also checked back to see was anyone seated in my previous and assigned seat of 29A and there wasn't anyone. It just seemed it was more important to use the seats as storage rather than a guests comfort. For this reason, I have given this review a 3 star, because as a guest/customer my comfort was not considered. Hopefully, the return flight will have no issues. My flight today after 30 plus years of flying was definitely not one of the best flights, that I have experienced. Until the next one, Bye-Bye! read more
