The last time that we flew on UNITED was the last time that we will ever use that carrier again. We flew from Houston to Amsterdam (round trip) and it was one of the worst flying experiences, ever. That airline has given a whole new meaning to the word “SUCKS”.
I agree. Flew to Rome on United in 2012. Everything about that flight was a nightmare. Ticketing, seating and baggage handling was FUBAR. Homo fight attendants treated everyone like they were doing us a huge favor by allowing us to fy on their aircraft. Never again. I’ll row a boat there first before I fly UA.
We loved flying Continental. Top notch, all the way. When they merged with United, we had some flight attendants (on a flight during the merger) tell us that rather than United raising up to the Continental bar, Continental would be lowering to the United bar :(
Regardless...nothing is more frustrating than seeing folks trying to stuff a size 12 carry on into a size 6 overhead bin :)
