Long haul from Chicago to Tokyo was great, traveled in the ROOM on ANA and experience was great all around. The flight from Tokyo to Bangkok was fine. Definitely a good way to go. Should have stopped in Tokyo for a bit.
Refer to the Osaka-Tokyo one, it explained how I felt about both flights
I am a United 1K flyer but certainly I would fly ANA again. Great inflight service!
"The Room" is the only way to fly. The service was excellent and the stewardesses we all gorgeous and friendly. The boarding process was delayed and the attendants at the airport were not the best.
Great. Very helpful staff and accommodating. The flight was also smooth
My son flew and had a great experience.. thank you for taking care of my baby
The flights with ANA were great. The flights with United, not so much.
I enjoyed the flight, but a little too much turbulence on the flight. Thank you for the meal and entertainment. This kept my kids entertain during the flight. I have to admit comparing the crew from ANA vs United, there was a sense of more accomodation, friendliness and service compared to United crew. I felt for the United crew, it was just a job and it can be seen in there demeanor and delivery.
Attendants were very kind and frequently offered water and snacks. Food was excellent. For some reason, my IFE system would not play dialogue for any media despite my efforts to change to different language voiceovers, restart the system, etc. so I could not watch any videos.
I stopped flying with United back in the nineties. Today's experience reminded me of why.
Seats needs to be wirer and food is very poor
Pretty much the exact same comments for this flight, there was crazy weather!
I have been flying united for a long time but now I’m done
1) United economy seats barely recline. 2) I have yet to get United WiFi to work, after numerous flights.
Return flight was perfect. All on time and no hiccups. However, going was another story. I don't blame United for the weather, but I am rather disappointed in its response to my getting stranded in my layover city for the night. United gave me a $20 food voucher. That's it. But besides this policy, the employees were incredibly helpful rerouting me to my final destination in Fort Lauderdale, FL. So overall, 8 out of 10. 10 out of 10 for flight comfort, inflight service and before flight service. 5 out of 10 for layover handling.
Santa Barbara is a super small and easy airport. Breezed through rental car return, breezed through Security, ordered a coffee and muffin and to my gate in less than 30 minutes. Maybe because it was a small airport we got the oldest plane. Hardly any overhead space and absolutely zero internet. Its NFL Sunday man! That hurt.
There were no vegan options for first class. Even though we were promised the satellite internet for free, we received NO wifi at all. Even though we were promised a 20-min early arrival, we ended up over 30 mins late.
Flight attendant incredibly rude. Stuck her finger in my drink and didn’t even have the courtesy to apologize.
food /beverage service was limited to one time which was unexpected for a flight that long. food wasn't very good.
From the boarding crew to the FAs was such a good team. All with smiles and positive energy. The pilots made an announcement of us waiting on some passengers who were late landing and I didn’t hear one person feel like it was an inconvenience which was wonderful. Massive kudos to all that worked that flight. Everyone was united. 😊💙
