United Airlines

My wife and i are on a wish trip holiday to Vegas this September, As we have never been business class we went for U A on a 777.
It cost a lot of money but as i have terminal cancer i/we wanted something a bit special, I am hoping it will be a pleasent experience and we have to change at S F O so does anyone know if we need to collect our cases or are they transfered on our behalf ??????. also if anyone can inform me about the business class i would love to hear good or bad.

I received a slight reduction as i use a U A visa card which gave me air miles
many thanks in advance for any info offered.

Despite having booked our flights 8 months before our trip on everyone of our 11 flights over 2 weeks my ...  Read the complete review

On a business trip to the USA a stewardess managed to throw coffee over my shirt! Fortunately it was only luke warm so no burns but a poor state to arrive in when being met by important suppliers. She was extremely apologetic but little she could do but give me a form to make a claim against the airline with. I duly filled it in and handed it to the purser before I left the plane. Did I ever hear again? ...  Read the complete review
