United left one of our bags back in SFO but that’s not my real complaint. The complaint is how it all went down. So we checked in the day before online and were told we could use the quick drop for luggage. So the next day I used baggage quick drop curbside at SFO. The agent mistakenly didn't tag my bag as he put my bag on the conveyor belt untagged. We immediately alerted him he had not tagged the bag. I walked with him to the baggage service office to find my bag and tag it. We waited outside the office for 10 mins. He came out and said everything was ok and the bag was going to be tagged and on my flight. We received a text that one of our bags was on the flight but the other was not. I alerted my first class flight attendant immediately upon boarding the flight. She was helpful and said she’d get it sorted out right away. She called over the gate agent. The gate agent used my bag number and looked over information on her device. She said my bag was on the flight. The flight attendant was standing with her, looking at the device, and also said “yep it’s on the flight”. During the flight the flight attendant made reference to how reassuring it must feel knowing the bag was on the flight. Upon arriving to IAD we received a text that my bag was not on my flight. The text said my bag would arrive to my final destination LIS 24 hrs late. I understand that mistakes happen. I was totally ok with my bag mistakenly not getting tagged at the quick drop. I was fine with walking down to baggage services to tag my bag. But, what I am not ok with is that the United staff said they fixed the mistake two different times, assuring me twice that my bag would be/was on the plane…and it wasn’t. I expected better attention by the employees, for them to do what they said they were going to do. We also spent extra money to upgrade our seats to first class, including the entire return leg from Lisbon to San Francisco because we wanted a smoother and more relaxing travel experience. Our money was not well spent. We will not be using United for travel going forward.

Flight was delayed two hours. No snacks and no tv screens. My bag got stuck in Chicago
Average. Newark is a United Hub, yet a flight that is early somehow ends up getting late to the gate. Newark ATC needs help badly.
Awful. Worst airline I have ever been on. Crew were among the rudest people I have ever dealt with. United staff members were rude and disrespectful. My flight was delayed, causing me to miss a connecting flight. I understand things happen, but when staff start lying about what actually happened, that is when I have an issue. Just be honest, really it isn’t that hard. I’m being very honest with this review and I don’t find this difficult what so ever. In fact, because of United Airlines, my Christmas holiday was off to a really rocky start. As someone who has traveled across the world, it has only been United that I have had a truly awful experience.
The flight was delayed, it took longer than anticipated because of weather, and they broke my luggage.
Received an email the night before showing that there would be seatback entertainment on our flight. We get on and there was no seatback entertainment. And then it was a scramble to try to set up the iPads for the kids before takeoff so they could watch something for the four hour flight.
The aircrew was solid, the flight was chill, I had no issues. The gate agent was not the best. I was trying to use a military bag upgrade to move my bag from under the seat to the overhead bins and he told me there’s no overhead bins on the plane, argued with me why booking put a military member in basic economy (I don’t really understand this) and made it an issue to even try to help me stating I’d have to call reservations to get a bag upgrade. When every other agent with United can add it at the gate, this man couldn’t be bothered.
Horrifying! And I am almost 2 million miles with United. Late by 3 1/2 hours. Worst: after two hours on the plane waiting, they decided that one of the tires had been damaged and then decided to change it. Another hour and a half to change the tire!!!!! NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. The crew didn't even offer a glass of water until we had been on the plane for FIVE hours. This is the worst airline in the world. I'm simply stuck because they fly on the only routes I need.
Short flight - no food understandable. Flight was delayed for over an hour. Overall, it was good.
Boarding always seems a bit chaotic. Seat spacing could leave more for leg room.
Not so good. Within 24hrs of departure, I checked the seat map and 6E, 6F were available. So i selected them. After reaching the airport, the staff said that those seats were taken away by someone. I told how could that be possible since the seats were taken away by me. But she insisted that someone paid for those seats. I disagreed because the seats were assigned to me. So she assigned us seats all the way down. When we boarded and plane took off, those 2 seats were vacant throughout the journey. To add salt to the wound, one of my bags went missing. I was left with only 1 pair of clothes which was in my carryon bag. After so many followup calls, my bag was returned on the 4th day. I don't recommend Royal Jordanians to anyone.
Poor job on boarding...lot of delays on the landing
Terrible. My luggage didn’t make the connection, even though we had an hour and twenty minutes. My luggage arrived in my city a day ago and I still don’t have it. I will go three days without my luggage and there is no sense of urgency to get it to me.
Two hours late getting in with no apparent reason for repeated delays.
Still old cabins They have to know how to do with loyal members
Very poor we had bad service in our first flight our flight was delayed 3 times and waited 12 hours in the airport till they finally canceled the flight giving us no reason then had to get a hotel in newyork and depart the next day on the same plane that we had boarded the day before and was dirty from us boarding and un boarding it was the worse experience!!
RJ is very good and nice don’t have luxuries flights but the staff are so helpful in YYL or AMM and their office at 7th circle are amazing
No Wi-Fi 50% of headphones handed out do not work. Otherwise pleasant.
Very nice staff. organized check in and good food. Bit cramped and tired looking plane inside
Was so surprised that for a short flight we were served a sandwich lunch
