The flight was operated by Lufthansa. You can't expect much from them anymore. They have a talent in getting something wrong.

The flight was operated by Lufthansa. You can't expect much from them anymore. They have a talent in getting something wrong.

So far so good but food and entertainment are not available for this flight

My suitcase was completed destroyed. The top part is broken and unusable now.

The tv monitor in front of my seat was not responding. The flight crew reset it and it still didn’t work.

Did not even get on board. Was told I needed an esta agreement. Was not aware of this when I booked the fare and not told about them

Had a hard time finding my assigned seat. No attendants to assist.

Cabin crew was very friendly, requests were satisfied promptly and cheerfully, and the cabin was reasonably clean when I boarded. The United lounges at Newark and Heathrow are always well-run and comfortable, especially Newark. I look forward to the new lounge that will be part of the rebuild of Terminal 2 at Heathrow.

Very friendly staff. The flight was on time. Need a bit heavy covers/blankets. It can get colder with a thin blanket.

The plane was so gross and dirty. Literally saw dust layering and flowing out the grey vents. Dust was all over the air vent knobs to the point where I took my sani wipe and cleaned them down so at least it wasn't blowing my my face. Also, I upgraded and paid for Wifi and it's always so spotty. I get we are in the air, but don't charge for it if it's not going to work. I expect so much more from United. They really are giving up.

It was fine. The flight attendant appeared to be in a bad mood but everything was fine.
