Power located near your feet in front on 737

Yes our red eye was delayed from about 10:30pm to 9am the next morning. We do not fly United often. We never left the house so it's not like we were stuck at the airport. They did give a $15 food credit, I think they could have given more. The actual flight was fine, once it happened. The positive was that they do have an outlet to charge devices, which is important on a 5 hour flight. Service was fine.

United really needs to up there game and become a world class International airline. The food has gotten worse and not sure which caterer they have hired recently. The Fish tasted like hospital bland food and had no flavors. They served exactly the same meals twice on both sectors. What is going on with folks deciding these type of things for passengers. The business class seat was not that comfortable and they don't show on seat map, if the window is visible. Chose the wrong sat for a 24 hour flight and got nothing out of it as could not see anything. Also, they did not allow to choose a special meal throughout this flight after paying such high price. Washrooms were not being cleaned. Snacks were also very ordinary. What are we paying for? Compared to Singapore Airlines and Emirates, this does not stand out at all.

Charging At Every Seat (on my flight / aircraft)

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport has seen improvements over the years. I've traveled through (the now defunct Terminal 2), Terminal 3 and Terminal 4. The old Terminal 2 was outdated, had no charging stations and the "regular" wall outlets were in such poor repair, it seemed plugging anything in would immediately cause a fire. It's only benefit was getting from curb to gate in minutes. I'm glad United Airlines has moved to Terminal 3. Terminal 3 was completely remodeled and expanded. It has a sleek, modern feel and plenty of amenities. It can be a hike to get to your gate, so arrive on time. To make your trip a bit smoother, I strongly recommend using the UA App. You can download Boarding Passes to your Apple Wallet, get updates (push, text, email) to stay informed and arrange for (paid) WiFi. Be sure to download the app PRIOR to your flight; you won't be able to do so during the flight. Terminal 4 is acceptable and the recently (last year or two) remodeled Southwest Airlines concourse has a cool, relaxing vibe. On my most recent visit, I traveled through Terminal 3. While busy, it didn't seem so overcrowded that the staff couldn't handle to flow of traffic. In fact, United Airlines employees were plentiful and eager to assist. I'm just not sure why their "Express Baggage Check In" has the word "express" in it. It's just a set of self serve kiosks to print tags. There's nothing "express" about it. While Economy Plus offers more legroom, the seats (bottom and back) are hard and uncomfortable. It's especially difficult for cross country or long haul flights. The number of charging stations throughout the airport is appreciated. For food, Sky Harbor has plenty of options, including many local favorites. I just wish they were open more hours throughout the day. Most are useless if you're taking a red eye flight. This is particularly noteworthy, given my red eye flight offered no dinner or snack service and it was "lights out" shortly after takeoff. As long as you arrive in the recommended two hour time frame, you can make your way through the airport with ease. Just be sure to download the UA app in advance and bring your own snacks to avoid getting "hangry".

Took a first class flight to Houston and I must say every experience is different. ... 1. All other first class flights with United we are offered a drink before take off and warm towel. But, not on this flight 2. We always have great customer service!! 3. We preordered our flight meal but when it came to this flight they were out of the meal my husband picked!! Mind you he picked his meal 5 days before the flight so you would think they would have set one aside! The reason this is an issue is because my husband is on a certain diet so the other options they had left didn't fit his needs so I had to give him half of my meal. I wish consistency was across the board.

staring at their phones or on their phones with no regard for the customers waiting for assistance

I've been an American Airlines member for centuries it seems. Each time I fly (more recently) with…read moreAmerican, there is some delay or other issues with my flight. It's never a smooth schedule. I've had my good and bad experiences flying with them as a card holder. My understanding of what this company was growing up and how I was treated as customer "back in the day" has changed tremendously since then. The friendly skies, the "on time machine" and "something special in the air" is a far cry from what it was then. They've failed on almost every level of the things they upheld so vigorously during the 80's. "Doing what we do best" isn't what we get nowadays. It's the sign of the times I guess, but honestly such a shame too! You're paying a high premium and having to do most of the work yourself when entering the airport. Staff is simply there to socialize amongst one another & if you have questions or need guidance they seemed more bothered by that, that you've interrupted their conversations. The on board staff is just going through the motions without any type of respectful greeting, personalities are as dull as a butter knife, zero friendliness and lack of appreciation of their passengers. As a valued member, I will continue to hope for the best, but will always be prepared for the unknown and what my experience has been lately versus what my expectations are moving forward with this airline.

I usually like to sit in row 32,33, or 34. I find that I have a good possibility of having the row to myself. Not always , but it does happen often. Sky Harbor is a very easy airport to get in and out. Terminal 4 is the American Airline hub. I do have to say , the attendances on the flight were not as friendly as Delta's attendances. So much said for that . I do fly American often and also Delta. The gate areas do have a variety of charging stations. Some gates more stations than others.

The two employees on the right of my attachment photo are bad employees. Not professional. Not polite, No empathy. Not helpful. No nothing. The online check-in didn't work for me this morning and right in front of the Frontier Airlines employees. I showed the two employees on the right of my attachment photo my screenshots and live non-working Frontier Airlines website and still nothing. They even said, show it to me live and I did. Still nothing. They just wanted that $25 fee to fix it and check me in. Both employees knew my flight was leaving in about one hour. No one cared. Any other similar and different businesses would waive the fee and correct it. These two employees just wanted my additional $25. I later paid the $25 for help and got my boarding pass with D/Dee. D/Dee was friendly, professional, cared and sympathetic. She should be the supervisor. The TSA Agent at pre-check heard three other complaints about Frontier Airlines employees just prior to mine. Another issue was that I was supposed to get free luggage and was later charged at SNA JW Frontier Airlines. I was charged $150 extra for what was supposed to be free. I cannot believe they charge for coffee on the flight I believe Frontier Airlines is the biggest scam and the worst.

I flew Allegiant from Mesa to Rapid City SD because they were the quickest and cheapest carrier…read more The flight out was great with no issues. However, the return flight was fraught was frustration and disappointment, including a total of 5 delays for a total of 7h and 29m sequestered to gate 7 in Rapid City's airport. I was pretty frustrated and angry, but once I learned what the company did in attempts to prevent everyone involved from being stranded, I completely understood and am now sympathetic to the cause. I would actually choose Allegiant Air again if their route was the most convenient, even with the possibility of being shipwrecked by them again... because they do try and they do care

This particular experience is regarding the purchase of tickets. I recently learned that if you…read morehave the opportunity to purchase tickets at the counter, you can save roughly $40 per round trip which is essentially the convenience/admin fee online, but there are specific parameters on how to do so... It has to be during their allotted or scheduled hours for the airport Which is extremely limited and as of this review is from 12:00 - 1:00 pm. Every other day they are considered "closed". I did inquire with the agent if it really was only on Sundays, which she said they can sometimes do it during other hours right before or after a flight, but not guaranteed and depends whose working that day. Secondly, though they have various lines and have signs saying "All Services", you have to go to the very end, along the wall for tickets and oddly enough there is no sign. Because the hours are so limited, travelers will book multiple sets of tickets at once and their system or process is not built around efficiency, We had about 10 or so people ahead of us and were in line for almost an hour. Again, some of these travelers were booking numerous tickets, so it would take longer, but they really don't set anyone up for success and you have to provide all the standard info you need for a flight, but verbally then need to confirm. So as you can imagine, not the quickest process. It would make a lot more sense if they have forms that could be prefilled to help streamline the process. We had three round trip tickets to book so saved about $120 for our hour of time, was it worth it? In this particular case, yes, but time is money too, so one ticket, maybe not, but it's all relative. You do also have to pay for parking, which luckily is not too steep in Mesa and was a few bucks for the hour. I do not quite understand why more work for the staff leads to more affordable or cheaper tickets, but is an option for those traveling and if you have many tickets to book!

We had used points to upgrade to first and had a hot lunch included. I had preordered the chicken curry (doesn't look great but actually tasted pretty good- curry consistency was more like tomato paste). I did wish there was more chicken in it tho. Hubby had the short rib (which is his default) and he said it was good- not enough protein, though. He skipped the carrots for some reason but enjoyed the rest. The chocolate dessert was the right amount of sweet and bitter. The new connected experience is nice- full free WiFi as long as you have a delta sky miles account. You use a QR code to connect to the seat back and can set your content preferences etc. The seats recline quite far tho and even in first- it was tight for my husband. Could be worse I suppose!
