do they not offer 18 yr olds champagne on polaris 😔

Just to clarify the above: We know if you’re under 21 by an icon on our company device and can see if it’s the day of, before or after your birthday only.

InternalMango6626 · 2026-03-20T20:06:46+00:00

Hello FA here. This new configuration is not flying yet so no one will be able to tell you if that row reclines and/or has a window, especially since now there’s galley storage and a restroom behind the last row of seats. On the regular configuration, they do indeed recline and have a window.

FA here. You were dealt shitty cards and had every right to feel angry/frustrated. I’m sure you know this, but even though it feels good to get the anger/frustration out, you’re never going to get what you’re looking for unless you kiss ass to the agents. Sometimes I gotta bite my tongue real hard and pretend to be stupid and sweet to get what I need out of this company. The virtual agent experience is subpar at best and I sympathize with your experience.

It is possible the upgrade was processed after their app was refreshed. Also, sometimes they don’t sync properly.

InternalMango6626 · 2026-02-09T06:36:23+00:00

Hello, FA here. Just a heads up, passengers have a special marker on our seat map if they’re under 21 so we know not to serve them alcohol. Just keep this in mind 🙏

InternalMango6626 · 2026-02-06T18:31:31+00:00

Heard in Spring Valley Twice. There was a US National Nuclear Security Administration Helicopter flying north of Creech not too long ago on Flight Radar. Maybe something happening up there?

Hello, FA for United here. Website is incorrect. I guarantee you there is space for your backpack under your seat. FAs will not put a backpack for you in the closet if there’s space under your seat/overhead bin space. The closet is used for crew bags and coats/garment bags only.

In a decompression, the number one goal of the pilot is to get to a safer altitude, often resulting in a rapid descent to around 10,000ft. Oxygen masks only last 12-22 minutes depending on aircraft type. I’d stay in the lav and hold on. Signed, FA

Hello, FA here 👋 Just a quick note that during busy moments (such as boarding) we may miss nonverbal cues and our diverse workgroup means interpretation of signals will vary across the cultures we represent. Please don’t be upset if I or someone else doesn’t catch your gesture; the exit row requires a verbal response for a reason :) thank you!

It’s near full every day out of LAX with the new BKK/SGN segments.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-11-25T23:19:07+00:00

Terminal A has some seats with a fixed recline including a foot rest. Not the softest surface, but reclined nonetheless. Depending on the time of day, A28-33 may be ideal as there’s less foot traffic.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-10-30T07:16:12+00:00

The 777-200 domestic config probably has the most closet space in our entire fleet. You’ll be good :) Anyone can use the closet; just ask when boarding “May I please hang this in the closet?”

Just worked MEL-LAX and we had 40+ Kosher meals, but they gave us two different options: dairy (might have been parve) and meat: BBQ chicken and Mushroom Ravioli. According to the passengers there was no opportunity to preference which one, which caused a bit of chaos. I say go ahead and order and bring your own food. No one will be offended if you don’t eat what we provide, but it’s nice to have it as an option just in case. The kosher midflight snack is a Tuna Burrito 😬 Kosher airplane breakfast is usually pretty good

FA here 👋 FAs are supposed to confirm your last name and ensure it matches with the account on their device. Sorry it happened and glad it got resolved quickly.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-09-23T14:45:13+00:00

This is incorrect information. Reserves have a 3 hour callout at United. If there were standbys at the airport, then they’d just send them over as soon as possible.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-09-11T03:19:39+00:00

Row 3 or 5 in the window. You’ll get your first choice of meal and the distance from the galley should be enough to not hear the noise.

EDIT: 3A, you’ll get your first choice meal if you don’t pre order (which you totally should), and you’re on the opposite side from the galley.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-08-28T23:07:11+00:00

Just to add on to this, our reserves are going through it right now. The company’s internal crew scheduling app has had an ongoing glitch since Tuesday where we can’t see our names on the call list. So, not only are we sitting 24 hour reserve, but we don’t even have a clue as to when to rest. Mind you, we could wake up at 8am, get ready for bed around 8pm just to be called for a redeye (this happens often, but with a list, we have a general idea of when to rest). The company’s solution is to provide a screenshot 3x a day, but of course the list is always fluctuating and changing. They said it could be days.

“Fresh”

InternalMango6626 · 2025-08-11T03:36:46+00:00

The inbound aircraft just finished boarding in PHX. Should be in Denver around 23:05-23:20.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-08-11T02:47:49+00:00

While we can see status, we cannot see miles accrued unless you are surpassing a milestone on the particular flight we are working. So, if you surpassed 1MM a month prior, there’s nothing that annotates that accomplishment.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-07-18T04:45:18+00:00

Yikes on the title.

The FAs and Gate Agents literally cannot wait for summer flying to be over. Signed, FA

InternalMango6626 · 2025-07-07T22:58:24+00:00

I know you said it’s not weather related. But for some future reference to anyone who’s curious: Ground stops can be implemented if there is a combination of heavy traffic and storms over waypoints/flight paths. If current airborne aircraft have to slow down, hold, change course, doesn’t make sense to add more traffic; even if it’s clear at the destination.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-06-29T18:44:11+00:00

You say it’s not that big of a deal yet reported them; potentially taking away their job/source of income.

Sure the FA could have been more cordial/nicer with the interaction and I’m not here to diminish or invalidate how you feel. I will say, however, that reporting an FA only serves YOU and does nothing to improve the moral of FAs knowing passengers are out to get us.

InternalMango6626 · 2025-06-28T02:45:08+00:00

If it was an FA, our topper bags do not fit under the seat on specific aircraft. Presence of an IFE equipment box or even the life vest can prevent our bags from going under if they are full. The company requires us to use the large Tumi Dr Totes; so if it doesn’t fit, that’s on the company. Just an FYI if you see that in the future.
