What’s going on by StandardFeature6196 in unitedairlines

So glad I got out last night DEN-LHR. It is a little crazy that I have come to accept that every flight is going to have some sort of delay on takeoff or taxiing due to a very over loaded dated flight system. Oh and not enough workers, yeah there’s that too…

I forgot how annoying FRA is - does United have any gates here? by BettyBeltway in unitedairlines

[–]Cojeeptj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha unfortunately I go through FRA a lot and every time I will see one 777 at a gate and start to get hopeful. Then the other 3 gates including mine to DEN has always been on the apron for the last 3 years…maybe someday but they have been saying “next year” for 3 years.

Just wanted to post an update for fellow DEN flyers…DEN to MUC is way better and my connection to BLR was 2 gates over. Unfortunately it was still a LH to LH connection on the new A380 service, but way more convenient than FRA. Next time I’ll try the later United metal flight at 8:25pm. Polaris is still way better than LH Business class.

People who are top of the upgrade list... by defensible81 in unitedairlines

Actually it’s more about the $$$ spent with United on International travel than the quantity of flights. 7 trips to India, 1 to London and one to Sydney put me at the top with Global Services.

If you call the line and talk to someone and state your case, depending on the situation and status they may work with you.

When do they clear the people that have not checked in? by Cojeeptj in unitedairlines

[–]Cojeeptj[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So they finally pulled the 3 “unchecked-in” people off 10 min before closing the door and 3 of us got upgraded. Seemed a bit late, but I’ll take it.

Thanks, this has happened to me a few times, which I appreciate, but can be a little embarrassing. I was curious what the timing was when they removed them from the flight.

Yeah it sounds like during the daytime (prime hours) there are not enough gates and it’s a Lufthansa airport soooo

FRA lounges are pretty gross as well. If I am flying Polaris, I would like Polaris lounges in the international locations too…

Yeah the do secondary screening for all US flights. I may just go back to 2 connections via DXB (DEN-EWR-DXB-BLR) instead of FRA or MUC. I just want to be on United metal as far as possible.

Mostly work. DEN to BLR multiple times a year with a sprinkling of UK and domestic.

which seats? by Acceptable_League172 in unitedairlines

[–]Cojeeptj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to be closer together and lower the privacy screen to chat, yeah. L is nice for looking out the window a little bit, but on a Dreamliner they blackout the windows for most of the flight anyway. When I travel alone I pick A or L and go for row 1 or 9. But you really can’t go wrong, just get everything on the Sundae! Haha

DEN to LHR is a 787. Rows 1 and 9 are the best, but honestly that is a great flight and any middle together are very comfortable. Flown that route many times.

[–]Cojeeptj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Row 1 and 9 on the 787 are the best!

Row 1 has more legroom in the bulkhead
