Poor assistance for a person with a disability. I was on a return flight from Hawaii and I had requested a wheelchair with assistance. When I got off the plane in Toronto the wheelchair was there but no one was there to bring me to pick up my suitcases and make my next flight.

I was travelling with my daughter but she too has medical problems and should not have been pushing me but had to. We went to speak to a United Airlines representative and when we started speaking - there was no one around him or speaking to him but us, he put his hand up in my face and refused to speak to us.

He kept shaking his head in a no way and didn't speak just kept placing his hand up to show he would not speak to us. I have travelled all over the world and have encountered some rude people but never from…

Dear United Customer Service Representative:

My family endured a very stressful and humiliating experience today with United Airlines. My flight was UA flight 59- SFO to Frankfurt on 6/10/19. The flight time was 1:50p We arrived in line for check in by 11:30 and met with the ticketing agent by 12:00p I provided the agent the above confirmation Codes- PRT96M- this was for my children, Jonah Jacob, and Jeslyn Jacob. I also provided Confirmation code- N8L292- for myself, Joji Jacob, Bobby Jacob (wife), Yasmin Jacob, and Sherin Jacob- 2 dtrs. The agent stated "there is a problem you only have 4 tickets ticketed and confirmed" I tried to ask what was the issue but she became very short and kurt with me, saying " I am working on it.I need you to relax." Then a supervisor said that my kids Jonah…

My husband and I have been with Mileage Plus for over 20 years. The actual flight from Seattle to Denver on June 3rd at 6:30 am went fairly well. I thought the crew was exceptional. k. with my experience was the fact that I couldn't be prepared with my boarding pass the night before because I wasn't checking in luggage.

I was worried about returning a rental car and getting to an early flight on time, adding to that the need to have an United rep check me in was ridiculous. Luckily there wasn't a huge line at the United SeaTac counter, but the night before I was worried about that too!

We fly a fair amount and want a comfortable, easy experience. This pre- flight experience was very stressful. Please don't punish people for traveling light, post the new rules…

I was on flight UA 669 from DEN to MSP on Monday May 20th which was supposed to depart at 19:50 but was delayed until a 20:45 departure time. Boarding ended at 20:30 and we were kept on the concourse until we took flight at 00:00 which is 3 and 1/2 hours of waiting on the tarmac which is illegal.

I am 6' 2" and have back problems. This caused severe cramping and took me about 2 days to recover from it. When I look up the flight it shows it landing at 00:39. That is a complete lie and cover up since it did not land until almost 03:00.

I expect someone to get back to me on this rather than forcing me to go to the Dept. of Transportation to file a complaint.

My wife and I booked a trip on Feb-5th for a May 10th vacation, as we often do with United. This trip was to the Bahamas ( Exuma ) to be specific. The flight Friday morning was delayed 30 min due to bad weather.

5 hour layover in Ft. Lauderdale. This is where the trouble began with SILVER AIRLINES FLIGHT TO EXUMA !! The flight ( UA 3072S ) boarded 1 hour late as we watched the maintenance crew in the tail of the plan we wondered what was going on.

We then proceeded to leave the gate, then abruptly turned around and de-boarded. We were told for 5 hours that Silver was bringing another plane to take us to Exuma. After 6 hrs of waiting in the airport they cancelled the flight.

The next morning the flight was delayed…

I called 3 times to get information but nobody seem to knw what to tell me. They were suppose to call me back and I never got a call It wasn't any better at the airport either. Was suppose to have a window seat and got an aisle seat.

Your Houston staff is very unfriendly and not very helpful. I fly to Lubbock frequently but not sure I will fly United again after all that frustration.

Locator T892ZM. April25, Departed CAK to Houston. Flt 6041. Ran from plane to gate to catch Flt 6292 to Tucson and status showed early. We weren't that late and they let the plane go.

Also an unannounced gate change after the sprint to a different gate area not nearby caused a missed connection. Offered standby on next flight, food coupon and $75. OK. On return flight 4/30 Flt 1062 weather in Chicago prevented n on time departure but the connection was delayed the same amount so should be ok.

Before we took off the connecting Flt 3876 to CAK was cancelled. It is the last flight to CAK. got put onto a Flt to Cleveland Flt 2204. wife had to get kids out of bed to come get me.

Can you do anything to compensate me for the issues? The weather was good enough to land and take off on different…

United is well known for th;eir one bag policy so i had all my items in the one bag including my laptop. The ticket agent said i would have to check the piece and charged me $30. All my medication was in the bag/ I noted many people who had oversized luggage including duffle bags on the flight.

In San Francisco, my one stop, after missing a connection, having no medication and carrying my purse and laptop for 4 h ours I was sick I noted a flight to Eugene and the attendant was telling the travelers they would collect bags ala carte without a charge. i a disabled older woman requiring a wheelchair and i feel this wad a clear case of discrimination.

I would like to file a complaint first of all with your Disability Department. Amanda Kreiss who is disabled and I travelled on Wednesday the 17th of April from Chicago to San Francisco and then on to Maui. Our first flight was 499.

The disability desk took forever to get Amanda checked in and we had very little time to get to the gate. When we arrived in San Francisco there was nobody to pick her up although she had been told by disability that they would help her all through her trip.

We went to Customer Service in San Francisco to confirm that there would be someone with an aisle chair to take her onto the plane. When we got there there wasn't one and the disability person took her in a chair that can't fit on the plane.

She was not doing well and managed to get on and was placed in…

My family and me are heading for the spring breake to Europe. Due the delay of the flight from ORF to IAD this afternoon, Apr 12th, we missed our flight to VIE for 5 minutes.

The next connection even with an additional lay over via FRA has dealyed us for about 12 hrs and we had to wait with our 7-year old daughter for about 5hrs in Dulles.

Hence, I had to feed our family for $80.- and we´re starting much too late in order to catch with the people, who are waiting for us.

Asking at the United desk at the C1 gate dealing with the flight to FRA depating at 22.20, UA932, for an upgrade as compensation or a voucher, we were rejected.

It´s not the first time that United is perfoming like that. My frustration is manifest and paramount. I´d pay double the price, if there would be an…

​A year ago I called United Reservations to cancel the remainder of an itinerary that would have taken me round trip from Seattle to San Diego, Costa Rico, New Orleans, Denver to home. I had reached San Diego. The $2,000 or so remainder, good for another booking, if made within a year.

When called to re-book, I was informed, as I didn't show up for the flight out of San Diego -- the flight I cancelled -- l lost the $2,000.

As the request to cancel was not recorded, my request now to use the unused sum has been, so far, denied.

I have been a United member for over 30 years and feel cheated.

Arrived at airport and waited in line for 45 minutes most of the computers for self service did not work properly, they only had two workers, one did not act like he know what he was doing and the female was rude. 00 unbelievable.

00 less than the person next to him he gets penalized for it and the people in line almost missed their planes. He was suppose to arrive in Chicago at 9:03 am but he is just now arriving unbelievable again.

On April 17, 2018 I purchased two travel tickets for my son, Mr. Stanley Nwatarali and myself to travel to Enugu, Nigeria, From Houston Texas (IAH), U.S.A. The travel was scheduled as stated in the attached itinerary. I am certain those tickets were genuine because United Airline accepted them and issued us boarding passes. But at the boarding gate we were told the plane was full already. None of the airline officials we talked to helped. United did not care to find us any viable alternative. I was made to understand by one officials that that plane was in fact not full when it left Houston for Chicago. When we asked to have our luggage back, United Airline claimed they were already gone to Chicago. We were told…

direct flight from Houston to Aspen on Dec. 27, 2018. There were four of us traveling with 5 checked bags, one being an ice chest with 50 lbs of prepared food and 4 bags of ski clothes for our trip.

one of the missing ones, being the ice chest and 2 clothes/equipment bags. there were 8 flights from Houston into Aspen and still no bags. This resulted in expenses and time to and from the airport 3 times and without ski gear until Saturday evening, with the ice chest arriving on the evening of the 3rd day.

We had a file number of ASE34979M and spoke with various reps. We got approval on the 2nd missed ski day to purchase replacement clothing for skier, including 2 jackets and ski pants. 36 and would like reimbursement for the following food items that needed to be replaced upon arrival,…

Due to the weather coditions my flight was cancelled. The costomer service was rude, and not helpful at all I felt like the United employees could care care less about my situation try to connect to get home to Ontario Ca.

However, no one contacted us regarding this information. We did not received any text messages, e-mails nor phone call. Than the attendant noticed that United had us leaving out of Baton Rouge the next day 03JAN2019 at 06:50 am. My question was "WHY" would you put us on a flight to Baton Rouge when we came into Lafayette.

I tried boarding a flight Wednesday morning to Puerto Vallarta with my daughter. Your agent felt my passport was not acceptable because my dog had put a tooth mark through it. I was forced to re-book my flight for the next morning and spent all day at the passport office trying to get an emergency passport issued.

Upon arrival at the passport office the passport office immediately felt my passport was still good but since your agent declined it they felt best to try and have a new one issued. Unfortunately when you do this they take your old passport.

After waiting all day we were told one of the offices back east was closed for the holiday and we would no be able to get a new one issued until after the holidays. Fortunately my company and the resort I was booked at were understanding and…

While traveling on a cruise ship, my Vietnam Veteran husband suffered a major PTSD episode which required immediate medical help. I booked a flight from MIA to IAH in the middle of the night making a mistake by booking it for June 2 instead of December 2 (Confirmation #PYHSVB).

I didn't receive an email to confirm the flight. Upon my arrival at the airport, this was reported to me by the agent and I was asked to contact guest services which I did and canceled this flight. I rebooked on the 1:45 flight 1699 (Confirmation #AHFFBR) for triple the price of $988 from the original $355.

The value I received for my money was absolutely awful and worsened my husband's episodes by delays in the flight, poor seating arrangement, which resulted in us missing the Veteran Administration clinic…

I never even got to fly your airline. 2 days in a row my flight was cancelled last minute. Besides driving 90 miles to the airport, I also lost 2 days of work that came out of my pocket because of mechanical issues (1st cancellation) and apparently fly crew issues (2nd cancellation) with your airline.

Your airline didn't even make an offer for a voucher, which I thought was appropriate. My flights were scheduled at MSO on 11/11/2018 (United Airlines 4712 Flight, departing @ 05:07 pm) and then the second rescheduled flight on 11/12/2018 for 05:07 pm.

My husband and I were returning from The Cayman Islands on Saturday Oct. 20,2018 on United flight 1497. We had handicap accommodations in place going and coming back on this trip. Before going to the airport we called and confirmed that the accommodations were still in place and assured that my husband would be taken care of.

Upon arrival no one would help us and were told they could not locate a wheelchair. This proceeded for 25 minutes.

Finally, a representative from American airlines provided us with a wheelchair and helped us as best she could. A longer wait continued before a United representative finally came to our aid. We finally proceeded to our departure gate. We waited there and no help again when trying to board the flight.

To whom it may concern: Reference ID # 15201214 Passengers: Brian Crawford-Greene and Elizabeth Selfridge. com I have not had any reply to my phone calls to 877-624-2660 and therefore assume you are not going to be in touch. I have never been treated in this way in all the flying I have done. 45 mins.

Yes the extra 15 mins put us at the airport a shade under 06:30. I immediately grabbed the bags while my partner paid for the ride and hobbled over to join me at the counter. We are both in our mid 70s.

As I arrived I did not see anyone at the counter and then Stephanie, I believe in training sauntered over to the computer and in a very low voice which I was not able to hear her request. Then another lady, her trained I assume got up off the baggage carousel to help her at the computer.…

To whom it may concern, I was due to travel on September 29 at 6:46Am on flight 759. On the 28 the day before I pull my back out. for that reason I was not able to get on the plane along with my wife.

I submit my hospital paper in hopes that I may use those tickets to travel at a later day with United. Thank you in advance for your understanding your loyal customer Janet Caballero

Hello United Customer Service,

Between writing you this e-mail and sending, as I left the flight, I had 2 encounters relating to my complain below. The first was a fellow passenger who approached me and shared is impression of disappointment with this steward in business class ( I do not know his seat). The 2nd was a conversation I overheard of a fellow passenger (seat 1c I believe) who used far more colourful language to describe his impression of said steward. My original e-mail follows below.

I write to you regarding a deeply disturbing encounter with your chief steward (Vimay?) managing the business class segment on flight UA 5955 on September 27th from Chicago to Calgary.

It appears that somehow we quickly got off on the wrong footing when I placed my bag in the overhead on the…

Imagine you bought a $500. gourmet dinner reservation but when it came time for your dinner it had been changed to a town hundreds of miles away, and instead of the gourmet dinner you paid for it was chicken McNuggets, and not at dinner time but at 5am.

Would you want your money back or other compensation? I bet you would! I fly with United several times a year - especially to Eureka (ACV) because it's the only airline that services that airport and my folks live there.

The last two times I've flown there have been a mess. The first was a medical emergency right before Christmas 2017 concerning my sister who was in ICU after a freak allergic reaction/CPR situation. I had to do one-way tickets because I didn't know how long I would be there- totaled about $1500.

I flew United from Madrid to Newark on 8/31/18 and our plane was not equipped with personal TV screens. Passengers had to use Ipads and iphones to watch movies. including me. It was my 1st International flight with United Airlines and I was disappointed with the service.

Lost and Delayed luggage . 1st. We were told it would arrive on the next flight around 9AM. We did not receive any updates until 1:27 PM that luggage was enroute. Called driver who was extremely rude. Would not tell us when he would deliver our luggage.

He happened to live in the area we were staying in so he dropped off our luggage last at 10:24PM. There were no updates at all throughout the day. The number I called was automated and stated the "bags had arrived".

This message was repeated all day long. No other information was given. We were initially informed that luggage is delivered between 4-6 hours after it lands at the airport. 10:24PM does not fall into that time frame. We spent all day hanging around the house for our luggage since it is a poor neighborhood with lots of crime.…

HI I had a very very bad experience with your airline/staff I departed from lax 7/31/18 to cancun and back 8/7/18, which turned out to be a worst airline experience for me and my family. first of all you always double book which is VERY noticable and an extra 1/2 hour is added to the flight so you can find your customers seats. My story is much worst.

on our flight back they kept changing Gates and after 40 minutes of running around finally got to c24 to depart from cancun. As we were about to get on the airline, your staff LISSET BIKOUSEH?? (not clear about the last name, she kept hidding her name, I have her photo) told me I am missing an immigration paper and I couldn't board. I told her I had my purse stolen at the hotel and the paper was probebly in there. I asked her many times what…
