Pros: "everything was decent"

Pros: "everything was decent"

Pros: "Crew amazing. Seats had enough legroom. Good was second to none"

Pros: "Yes, crews and comfort were amazing."

Cons: "Family travellers should always be seat together"

Pros: "Seats comfortable. Entertainment was extensive. Food was good!"

Cons: "Landing was rough!"

Cons: "Delayed my luggage. Still waiting for Emirates to call me after 2 days"

Pros: "Every thing"

Cons: "Boarding"

Pros: "Professional flight attendants."

Cons: "Inconsistency in packing policies. My sister And I each had a curtain to bring back. I was told that it had to be boxed and wrapped and she wasn’t. Also there were issues with baggage claim at IAD. I took about 45 minutes for the bags to come out."

Pros: "Crew was friendly. Comfortable."

Pros: "Comfortable seats with pillows, blanket and good foods"

Cons: "The thing which was not good was the service. I would say that service should be done fairly not to see the people background so I asked for something but the crew did bring that. I would suggest to work on this portion. Thanks"

Pros: "Great Crew"

Cons: "Everything was perfect"

Pros: "Great customer service"

Pros: "Everything was great"

Cons: "Nothing"

Pros: "Everything was very nice"

Cons: "Food was the worst, service extremely poor"

Pros: "Everyone was very friendly. Lots of choices for entertainment. Had enough legroom in a regular seat."

Cons: "Being on FlyDubai for the first leg of the trip. We had a difficult time with our check in and our son's luggage was lost."

Pros: "Long flight but comfortable. I will fly emirates again."

Cons: "In some instances their was a shortage of food option. Although the menu said you could have a choice but some of the choices were exhausted by the time crew served it to the half of the travellers and the rest have to eat whatever was leftover. I think Emirates should stock a bit more of the food especially on a plane like Airbus 380. Its a huge aircraft and passengers sting at the vey end had to wait almost 45 min to 1 hr to get their food and that too was whatever leftover. They should make efforts to server all the passengers within a short amount to time rather than keep them waiting for so long. Most of the time more than half of the passengers had already eaten while those sitting in the back were still waiting for their food. Its not cabin crew's inefficiency but rather a policy problem that needs to be addressed."

Pros: "EVERYTHING"

Cons: "N/A"

Pros: "Nice wide seats"

Cons: "some of the flight attendants were nice and others were openly irritated by the passengers"

Pros: "The flight updates, services (meals and refreshments)"

Pros: "Great legroom good food and lots of entertainment. The little comfort packs they give you are awesome as well!"

Cons: "Everything was great!"

Pros: "First time on an Airbus and it was a much more comfortable plane. Seats were roomy with more leg room, entertainment was better."

Cons: "Pizzas were pretty bad. Biggest problem was the arrival airport. Dulles is a poor airport. The people movers at arrival for more than 400 passengers are really inconvenient. How 'bout using BWI instead?"

Pros: "Everything"

Cons: "The online site didn't let us allocate seats even before 48 hours of schedule flight timings. Complimentary seats were allocated badly. Even when contacted with airline staff they didn't pass on the right information. We found on airport counter that exists seats opened before opening the airline counter at the airports whereas we are told that it would be allocated at the airport counter only. Misleaded at Dubai by airline staff that airport counter would open 3 hours before flight departure whereas we found and told at counter it was opened 48 hours before flight departure. Faced lots of inconvenience in allocation of complimentary seats. I speak with other co-passengers in the flight and found single complimentary aisle seats were allocared to passengers. They same opportunity was not extend to others having more than 1 seats in the flight."

Pros: "Pretty uniforms and good service: Polite, gentle, helpful"

Pros: "Best"

Cons: "Best"

Pros: "So, as mentioned, this was our first time flying Emirates and from our flights from Maryland to Dubai to Philippines has been pleasant, the only issue we've had was with the security process and an incident that my wife encountered in Dubai when we were in the process of boarding to go to Washington Dulles. We landed in Dubai and we were in transit to our connecting flight. We went to our assigned gate and had to check in with security prior to waiting in our gate or boarding the plane. We checked in our electronic devices and my wife was asked to be checked. There wasn't anything wrong up until that moment. My wife cooperated with all the requests of the security agent. They asked her to go inside a security room/enclosed area and the first thing that the security agent asked my wife was why she wasn't wearing her wedding band. It was obvious that she was married because she had a tan line of the marks of wearing a ring. It was her travel ring and she removed it because it was too tight and she explained that to the agent. The agent then made the comment "so you got fat on this trip?". My wife was confused on what she said and asked her "what did you say?". The agent then repeated ..."So you're fat... that's why the wedding ring doesn't fit?" My wife was furious but maintained her cool because she didn't want to give a reason for her to be held from getting on the flight. I didn't see the situation take place and I don't know if there was anything that triggered her comment. My wife felt humiliated. I don't know the agent's name but I wanted to address the incident. Our experience with Emirates has been very pleasant but having to feel helpless after someone with authority to make that comment was humiliating and ruined the rest of her time on the flight as well as mine."

Pros: "Almost everything"

Cons: "Same as above"

Pros: "awosam"

Pros: "The in-flight entertainment is very good."

Cons: "For in-flight service call to flight attendant, it took 30 mins for response, and in the meantime two attendants walked by and waved me off. The next time I asked an attendant for water, he said sure he would get it, but he never showed up. Their water & juice service is not adequate for long-haul flights. Dubai has poor air quality, which might be bothersome for a long layover."

Pros: "Every thing was good."

Cons: "There was nothing which I disliked."

Pros: "Online checking"

Cons: "N/ A"

Pros: "All is good"

Pros: "Really comfortable, good service."

Pros: "380's are superb"

Cons: "Flights returning to US have an expectation of poorer service. No amenities like the out-going flights (sleep mask, socks, toothbrush, etc)"

Pros: "We liked the selection of movies. The stewards were extremely helpful and kind."

Pros: "I requested a blanket for my Son and was told there was none available....."

Cons: "On disembarking I notice a various overhead compartments with bags full of blankets. Why was a deny a simple Blanket? This is unacceptable in an airline that praises itself to be one with the best customer services.......Bad, really bad...."

Pros: "check-in process was efficient"

Cons: "food should be better quality"

Pros: "Everything!!!"

Pros: "the amazing atttention from the staff and the cleanliness of the airline."

Cons: "the seats did not go back enough"

Pros: "Nice service"

Cons: "None"

Pros: "Staff"

Cons: "The overall experience and lack of response to rectify missed connecting flights, damaged luggage and overall bad customer service for an airline that wants to advertise its pride and attention to service. Much can be improved."

Pros: "The courteous and friendly on-board service, spacious seating and clean men's rooms were the best part of the journey. The smiling stewardess were outstanding in creating a happy environment. I will consider Emirates for my future travels."

Cons: "Coffee was ok but could be better."

Pros: "Foods and electronic entertainment"

Cons: "The male flight attendant accidently hit my head without apologize while I was bending down to tight my shoes."

Pros: "Crew are awesome, helpful"

Cons: "Emirates pizza is not good."

Pros: "seats reclined nice, movie selection great"

Cons: "i didn't care for the manner in which you are charged for baggage fees"

Pros: "comfortable and new airplane"

Cons: "Flight attendants were very rude with a very bad attitude and not friendly."

Pros: "Overall fully satisfied with a safe journey package"

Cons: "Nothing"

Cons: "I wasn't able to board with bags so I had to change flight I paid class upgrade and never received refund"

Pros: "Flight was not over crowded, allowing for proper social distancing! That is MUCH appreciated. Crew was wonderful."

Cons: "The couple in front of me got in a physical altercation as well as the couple seated behind me. Both situations caused much discomfort and could have been defused faster by flight crew"

Pros: "The beverage selection was good and entertainment was good - no delays and early arrivals - boarding was easy and well managed"

Cons: "Aisle seat Middle Row D, Economy class, very little leg room- 175cm/5’9” - not enough knee space to stretch out without burying your knees into the seat in front- dinner meal was good - snack was subpar - no replacements for snack if you didn’t like your 1st choice - didn’t have that problem but a woman 1 aisle up was rudely addressed by the flight attendant for asking if she could discard her sandwich in exchange for Ramen- the same attendant even loudly told another attendant not to girl this poor lady some noodles - they cost $1 at the store - don’t know why she was holding out and making a scene over Ramen"

Pros: "Arrived alive, didn’t sleep in the Charlotte airport like last flight. didn’t lose a bag....didn’t check one, learned that lesson before"

Cons: "WiFi did’t work. Boarding the end of the terminal/gate was a mess. Crew was late, so flight was late. Packed in like sardines....normal American Airlines."

Cons: "Paid for First Class so I could sleep on this red-eye. Wasted my money. Seat was uncomfortable, legroom in my bulkhead seat was horrible. I can sleep anywhere...make that ALMOST anywhere, now."

Cons: "There was a three hour delay for missing crew."

Pros: "flight took off exactly on time & arrived on time"

Cons: "Caught an earlier flight and the entire team made the process seamless."

Pros: "It’s not like it used to be. U S based airlines lag behind their European and Asian counterparts"

Cons: "There’s always room for improvement. Too much to list here"

Pros: "That I could watch movies"

Cons: "How complicated it was to watch movies. Look at Netflix, they know how to do it right."

Pros: "many movies"

Pros: "None"

Cons: "The flight delayed several times, and the gate was changed. The plane is very old and no service at all (not even water during the 2 hours flight)!"

Pros: "New plane, more headroom made the cabin feel more spacious! Friendly flight crew! Loads of entertainment options....free! USB ports in every seat!"

Cons: "Traveling in coach is never comfortable. Fan was difficult to direct, and air flow was not especially strong."

Cons: "in the airport, the gate area dirty!, bathrooms dirty, no place to charge phone. The walk to the airplane, getting aboard the plane after the gate and flight changed and delayed. Being told it was weather related on the plane and being told it was MAINTENANCE by customer service. The plane was very crowded, the flight attendants never smiled. WHen i told the attendant i was being "rained" on he said...i know its happening everywhere..... he said there was nothing he could do but get me paper towels...they never came. I was very annoyed getting off the plane walking back and forth....it was aweful. and my flight before this was no better i am VERY TURNED OFF BY AMERICAN AIRLINES RIGHT NOW."

Pros: "The crew were polite, accommodating and understanding"

Cons: "The gate was changed 1hr prior to boarding despite the arriving plane having landed 3hrs prior. So with stroller and infant in toe, I had to run to change terminals/buildings. There was no assistance or prior warning regarding this from the check in staff and I made it all the way to the original terminal and gate before having to turn around. The desk staff at the gate was asked about early boarding for infants and said it would be okay but didn’t give clear instructions on boarding so I sat down and they began boarding each group 20 minutes later and did not give priority to mother’s with infants. The stroller which I brought to the gate was then tagged incorrectly with a white tag instead of a pink tag. I was later told by he crew that it meant it would go directly to baggage claim instead of being brought to the door. According to the crew, all staff know to tag with a pink tag. At every step there was blatant display of inconsideration that made an already difficulty journey, that much more challenging."

Pros: "Friendly crew and fast service. They also got out of the way quickly and I was able to use the restroom without waiting too long"

Cons: "We had a really hard landing. I wish these seats weren’t made of concrete so it could absorb some of that."

Cons: "The flight was cancelled and our party was stuck for 2 days without a returning flight."

Pros: "Left and arrived more or less on time. No major issues."

Cons: "Gates are way too far apart in Miami and the golf carts to get between areas seem to require reservations and long waits. Ridiculous. Most MIA staff was very rude (this wasn't American's own staff, or TSA, I should note). American stripped my group of our seat assignments (which we had selected 6 months prior) without reason and with minimal apology. No solution offered. Got middle seats but luckily was able to switch on one of the computer kiosks. Flight crew didn't seem to care that other people moved to the for-pay seats further up front (the flight wasn't full)... so why did we lose our seat assignments and get grief with not being able to select anything good? Not impressed."

Pros: "Quick, efficient"

Pros: "The fact we arrived safely"

Cons: "Long time to claim baggage, three hours delay, uncomfortable seats"

Pros: "We were up and down and I’m happy there was a direct flight to St George from Phoenix. But the price was higher than going to Salt Lake ."

Cons: "Plane was very old and we had to walk a loooong way to board."

Cons: "Everything was great"

Pros: "The entertainment system is awesome made the flight go by so fast seats were comfortable"

Cons: "While using the entertainment system the airplane announcement system was way too loud I believe you are going to have lawsuits eventually for loss of hearing everybody around me was jerking to take the earphones out of their ears because the announcement system was way too loud across the entertainment system"

Pros: "I liked arriving safely, although we were an hour and a half late"

Cons: "American switched pilots last minute, so all passengers sat waiting in our cramped seats for about 15 minutes while pilots got situated in the cockpit. Then it was discovered a preflight mechanical check hadn't been done. So we all sat for another HOUR waiting for the mechanics to arrive and do their work. The flight attendants were unpleasant and rude."

Pros: "I appreciated the interactive screen on the backseat, which provided me entertainment watching Doctor Who and playing Angry Birds. I also liked that the power outlet to charge my phone was more accessible on the backseat instead of below my seat, which is normally where I find it."

Cons: "I did not appreciate that there was a device mounted below 2 of the 3 backseats in my row. Those devices cut into at least a few inches of valuable room to store a carry-on bag. At worst, I've seen 1 seat have such a device, so it was quite disappointing to see 2 seats with them, including mine."

Pros: "Best fligh I had in some time. Left on time, arrived early very attentitive crew (with smiles as they worked through the rear cabin - wish I had their names to give recognition for/to). Food rating should have had a ‘NA’ as I nor partner did not consume any food."

Cons: "Can’t think of one thing - unless a flying saucer could have delivered me like in about 5 minutes to Cabo! Ok - maybe one thing: charging for a checked bag on international flight seems rediculous (you asked)."

Pros: "Excelente fiight"

Cons: "Door change from terminal D to terrminal E Flght departure delayed"

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "Although I should now be at my final destination, I still have 11 hrs of travel to go. My flights were changed three times. The first cancelation caused me to buy new tickets at a higher price I had originally purchased them at. We were redirected from Kayak to Vayamo and they have no sense of customer service. Horrible"

Cons: "Rude crew, no bathroom useage for entire flight and staff would not help handicap with luggage."

Cons: "No wheelchair provided which was requested for. Touch screen not resetted"

Pros: "The spaciousness of the seating on AA is tops bar none"

Cons: "The cookies and it was cold. Jesse"

Pros: "I think they were holding the plane for a connection flight arrival."

Pros: "Tebsnacks were awesome!!"

Pros: "Boarding was simple"

Cons: "For my whole three hour flight a child kicked my chair, i asked the mother politely if she could get her to stop. the woman didn't even apologize and the kicking continued for three hours."

Pros: "no fresh food"

Pros: "Being able to see movies for free was a real plus since the flight from Australia to Wash.DC is so long."

Cons: "Everything OK."

Pros: "Had row all to myself--that's a rarity"

Cons: "1hr departure delay"

Pros: "Older aircraft, seat cushion was on its last legs regarding comfort as I sunk to the frame of the seat. No onboard entertainment on the headrest as compared with our outgoing flight."

Cons: "The seat discomfort and the lack of entertainment."

Cons: "Significantly late & rude, as usual."

Pros: "Clean, friendly staff, great baggage tracking. Smooth flight."

Cons: "Overcrowded, but that's the same no matter where. Usual rude frequent fliers, who also usually take up all the overhead space."

Pros: "Getting off of that plane."

Cons: "I understand delays happen and are sometimes out of your control. However, customer service is something that you can, should, and must control. I witnessed a lack of self control of the American employees (including a Supervisor) and every point of my trip w/your customers. I was embarrassed for the American executive team."

Pros: "Much more legroom on this flight, even though it was a smaller aircraft."

Cons: "Gate agent seemed a bit overwhelmed. Helpful, but not overly friendly. In stark contrast to my earlier flight from Charlotte to Memphis, where the gentleman was extremely pleasant and cheerful."

Cons: "3 hours late. I could have driven home faster than this and saved $800. Once again, disappointed."

Cons: "There was no one at the gate to keep us updated about the flight delay"

Pros: "once I made it on it was smooth"

Cons: "plane in cos had to refuel so we were 20 late leaving and I bearly made it to next flight in dallas they were closing doors, young people ran but im old so could not move as fast, it was a challenge to not miss flight"

Pros: "We got there."

Cons: "Painful. Since the airline industry can't seem to get people (morons) to check their bags, why not have people who DO NOT have carry ons seated in the front, and those who refuse to check their bags seated in the back. That way, those of us who can just stand up and walk out can get out the way and those who have to struggle with retrieving their bags don't hold us up ???? It wouldn't slow the slow pokes down and it would let get out of the way."

Pros: "Very professional and friendly."

Cons: "N/A"

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "Wait 4 hours for a delay flight"

Pros: "Updated A319 on the route."

Pros: "We arrived nearly on time & without issue."

Cons: "The plane was warm & no cool air was being dispersed in the cabin & because of that it was very dry. Better temperature regulation, climate control is needed to make fir a more comfortable flight."

Pros: "Seat was small but comfortable. Everything went smoothly."

Cons: "The plane was very cold"

Pros: "Food was delicious!!"

Pros: "The attendant at the desk was very accommodating towards my needs."

Cons: "More food for the second meal. Some deserts would be nice."

Pros: "The details about the flight info"

Cons: "THTe customer service at Charlotte airport were not friendly at all"

Pros: "Crew was great."

Cons: "Flights should not be delayed by over an hour."

Pros: "Boarding fast"

Cons: "Bus took forever"

Cons: "Totally false information provided by Kayak re: seating and seat assignment. Sold as Austrian Airlines flight w/ links to their baggage policies and ability to pick seat. Arrived at airport and told I must check in with United, who charged me baggage fees contrary to Austrian policy."

Pros: "I didn’t die."

Cons: "I researched United’s, FAA, and my car seat company website before trying to board with it. I was told by flight attendant that I could only bring the car seat on board if it had a sticker? I don’t know what sticker she was referring to and it’s tough to keep a toddler safe with just a lap belt"

Pros: "I like flying Lufthansa for entire trip then changing to united airlines"

Cons: "Particular everything the airline"

Cons: "I missed having the navigation map when traveling such a long distance."

Pros: "Brought my own entertainment. Friendly staff. Great boarding process. On time departure"

Pros: "Seem to be a smooth and direct flight"

Cons: "The flight was fine however my seat was next to the bathroom and people would occasionaly Bump in to me ."

Pros: "Nothinh"

Cons: "The flight crew’s non challent attitude"

Pros: "Flight was on time. Friendly crew."

Cons: "It turned out that we were on stand by (without anyone telling us until the morning of the flight) and did not know if we were going to fly out. We could not select any seats at check in and only found out our seats a few hours before the flight. It was quite unpleasant and stressful as my husband and I were flying with our two children and faced a real possibility of not being able to sit together or getting bumped off a flight all together. It was a code shared flight between Lufthansa and United and each airline kept sending us to the other to get any answers or help. neither were helpful. It made it for an extremely frustrating experience."

Cons: "Not a kind service"

Pros: "The boarding and seating happened in a timely fashion, and the crew was courteous. The lunch meal (I had requested Asian vegetarian) wasn't amazing, but not as bad as it could've been."

Cons: "The flight was not with Lufthansa, but it was actually through United, which was extremely confusing as I did my ticket confirmation, seat booking and meal choice through Lufthansa prior to my trip. To find out on the day of the flight that I had to check in and go through United was extremely annoying, as the counters are in different terminals and it was unnecessarily stressful. The flight itself was crammed, with absolutely no leg space, and not even enough space under the seat to stow my backpack (which had fit perfectly on my Brussels Airlines flight to Madrid). I had requested the Asian vegetarian meal, and the snack we got prior to landing was pretty much two slices of cucumber on a small bun (and an apple on the side) - extremely dry and hard to eat. I asked for mayo, but the flight neither had that, nor any other condiments to make the "sandwich" more edible."

Cons: "I was unable to go on the flight because of the extraordinarily high cost of changing a last name from a maiden name to a married name. I was so disappointed by the service."

Pros: "Crew was helpful."

Cons: "We were sitting right next to the crew resting area and it was very restricting to us. I had two little kids that I had to keep quiet for about 6 hours out of 8. Even when my kids were quiet, we were reminded twice to keep quiet. It was very restricting and I was forced to walk back and forth with my two year old to keep her quiet so the crew can rest. Why is the crew resting when they are supposed to be working on that flight? The meal quality sucked, I did not finish it, let alone my kids. My kids were prettu much hungry for 8 hrs. Not a very family friendly flight."

Pros: "Good crew!! Entertainment screen not as good as SAS"

Pros: "Excellent service and a safe flight."

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "Small plane"

Pros: "Service Cleanliness Food Entertainment Boarding"

Cons: "Length of Flight"

Pros: "The flight attendant used my name. Great landing."

Cons: "Tar mat loading. In flight service."

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "I didn't like that there was in fact no plane to board at the time it was scheduled"

Pros: "Good flight"

Cons: "2 Delays"

Pros: "Everything good. Thank you"

Pros: "The flight was on time."

Pros: "We liked the crew, they were helpful."

Cons: "We did not like the video on the United flight that used the app. We were not told about this until it was too late and the instructions were not good for how to get the app--they were misleading. I had to go to the app store, not the United website. Also, our seats were changed without our knowledge and the flight description for the flight from Austin to Washington, DC, specified complimentary lunch and there was no lunch unless you wanted to buy it. This should be more clear, so that I can bring my own lunch if there will be none provided."

Pros: "Seats were comfortable in exit row."

Cons: "Flight sat on runway for over an hour."

Cons: "Choppy"

Cons: "Flight was canceled and both service desk and over the phone customer service took over an hour so I paid out of pocket to rebook with another airline."

Pros: "The incoming plane was delayed due to 'equipment prep'. Since it was connecting me to my longer leg, I was nervous. The crew did a great job of deplaning everyone and getting the plane ready for our flight with very minimal delay."

Cons: "It was a quick 30 minute flight and everything was fine."

Pros: "Free movies!"

Pros: "the United app that let me watch movies from my own device. The flight attendant gave me an extra blanket."

Cons: "the plane was very old and didn't have the entertainment options that newer planes have. The screen was so small and nearly impossible to see when the person in front of me reclined. The toilets weren't very clean. The food was very mediocre. I have a dairy intolerance, and both options contained dairy products. There was no lactose free or diabetic special meal option. There was an hour and a half delay to repair something on the plane when we made an emergency medical landing in Boston. I didn't mind the landing; I minded the excessive delay and wonder what would have happened if we didn't stop in Boston? What would have happened to the plan?"

Cons: "The dinner, Thai Chicken Curry, contained nuts. Nobody communicated that to the passengers. I ate the Curry, not knowing there were nuts in the dish - I am allergic to nuts. Spent much of the flight feeling sick, being physically sick, feeling ill and not being able to think about anything else. After reading the Curry container cover, it did say the dish contained nuts. But the flight staff, I think, should have communicated this. Also who puts a dish with nuts in it on a plane, with all the allergies that passengers could have? I was not going to die from the experience, but some people are more allergic than I am. I think this choice of menu was very inappropriate."

Pros: "Flight wasn't that long. Experience was okay. Flight was full. Attendants did their job. Some were more polite and helpful than others."

Cons: "No request was made for the outbound flight which I want to comment about. At Dulles Airport, I checked in at the Brussels Airline counter, only to be told that since I was on a flight operated by United, then I had to go to the United Airlines counter to check in. At UA, I was handed a boarding pass which advised that my seat will be assigned at the gate. I saw on the monitor where the available seats were-1 window, the remainder middle row. I got the feeling that since I bought a ticket which cost less than what the other United Airlines customers paid for, then I was being relegated to seats that the other travelers didn't desire."

Pros: "Offering food and drinks as part of ticket price, on-time departure, efficient service."

Cons: "More leg room without extra fees."

Pros: "Comfortable seating, great staff, food was pretty decent, they were very accommodating and had sufficient drinks and snacks through the flight. I would highly recommend Brussels Airlines."

Pros: "The crew was very attentive and the pilot kept us informed at all times. For example, we got to Dayton early and we sat on the Tarmac for about five minutes as there was another plane there. That was no problem. But, after plane left we sat there until it was time for us to arrive before ground crew came out. Then, we waited 20 minutes for our baggage. That was not your fault. That was the fault of the airport as it has happened to me before. The pilot was very apologetic and kept us informed. I appreciated that very much."

Cons: "I was so excited because there were TV's on each seat, but I could not use because the place where I had to plug in for sound was broken. That was a disappointment."

Pros: "My other passengers in First Class. Your crew was also very kind and well mannered."

Cons: "I spent over 150 for an upgrade for a red eye for a flight I already spent over 500. Your crew lacked attention in service and one specific crew member (male) woke me up twice due to the loudness of his voice. Disappointed in the quality for the amount spent."

Pros: "That was the worst traveling experience I've had to date. Yes, I understand there were storms and natural circumstances that held the flight and for that - I understand. What I do not care for is the lack of customer service. There was only one person at the counter in the airport. And let's not mention the unpleasant flight attendent on at 5 hour flight! Nothing offered for the inconvenience. Everyone including the pilot was just as irritated as the passengers. I usually prefer United when flying coast to coast but...worst experience yet."

Cons: "See above"

Pros: "The crew on this flight was absolutely amazing. They were helpful, they were very kind, and very pleasant. Probably the best flight crew I've ever had. Despite originally being annoyed that I wasn't allowed to pick/change my seat, I somehow miraculously got an economy plus seat so I had what felt like a first-class amount of space."

Cons: "Again, the flight was delayed. Despite originally being told that we were trying to get out ahead of storms so we wanted to get going quickly, we ended up boarding and then sitting there for probably an hour and a half. The pilot/copilot were great at letting us know what was going on, but the fact that both the first and second leg of my journey were delayed was excrutiately annoying. Having already been traveling for over 8 hours, the last thing I wanted to do was be even later and extend the flight even longer, obviously. The entertainment also was not available due to some problem in the circuit for the entirety of sitting there waiting to taking off and the first 15 minutes of the trip. Again, the attendants did everything they could and were very attentive, it was just frustrating to not really be sure that entertainment was going to be available for the 9 hour flight you just sat down for. Thereafter the entertainment was great. The food was, again, pretty mediocre compared to other transatlantic flights I've taken. The lasagna was not very good tasting at all. The sandwich they brought near the end of the flight was tasty though. Another plus was full sized cans of juice as opposed to a tiny glass. Honestly once this flight got off the ground it was good. However the combination of the delays, plus my terrible previous flight (which was the one directly operated by Lufthansa, the second flight was farmed out to United) just made the whole journey pretty awful, and probably the worst of my life. On my flight from Munich to Cairo, three weeks ago, Lufthansa left my bag in Munich despite the fact that I had an 8 hour layover - which you'd think would be more than enough to put a bag on a plane. They were very quick about delivering my bag once it arrived, but that previous experience with Lufthansa just served to bring down my opinion of the entire airline. Honesty, I had been told by friends that Lufthansa was a pretty good airline, that didn't show at all. There's a pretty big chance I'll never willingly fly Lufthansa again if there's even a remotely comparable option (which there almost always is)."

Pros: "Great free movies in first class."

Cons: "The first class crew was not very warm or welcoming. The outgoing flight from IAD set the bar high -- they could've spent less time gossiping and more time remembering my drink order."

Pros: "Fast boarding, I time flight"

Cons: "Tight seating"

Pros: "We were supposed to fly out Sat Jan 23, 2016, but a blizzard had shut down the East coast air ports. We rebooked for Sunday. Air ports still closed. So we talk to the United people at SXM and they cannot issue us a new ticket but say we have to book on line or call the United number. Both options would not work for us. They were able to tell us that United only flies to SXM on the weekends and their would be no extra flight to makeup for all the cancellations. We ended up booking a new flight with American Air Lines for Wed."

Cons: "Not getting a refund for unused return ticket."

Pros: "My flight was extremely pleasant."

Cons: "I liked everything."

Pros: "My flight was delayed 2 hours and was not given a reason why. Had to work with several crew members to find another connecting flight so I wouldn't be stranded for 18 hours at the airport. My luggage was delayed from it's original flight for over 24 hours. Had it not been for the amazing United crew, I would have never made it to New York on time."

Cons: "My flight delays"
