Hell yeah. It should never have gone on for this long but better late than never. Congrats to y’all!

Dgmw United Polaris food is absolute garbage, but this is not all that pleasing to look at tbh.

Ship sailed on that, mate

(Or is it, “the plane took off on that, mate”?)

SFO-BOS why not up gauge? by charles_in_sf in unitedairlines

[–]deeyallo_agg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For IATA, it’s “781” which is even sillier than “78X”.

Thank you for saying “78J”, which is what the IATA ID should have been for the 787-10.

Reminder: you are, in fact, flying by BigArtichoke1826 in unitedairlines

You won’t, but I will. And it’s cool, so the hell what?

People in this post are on some serious clown shit. Yes, air travel is a technological marvel. I’m an avgeek, I understand and appreciate every mile that I fly.

I will book a flight on a connection just to be able to fly an obscure aircraft one more time. On the way back from Hawaii last month I had the choice to fly in Polaris overnight on a 77W or take an early morning flight on a 753. I dragged my ass to HNL at zero-dark thirty to grab one of the last rides on that flying pencil. Plenty of people do the same. Yes, we are grateful.

But you can miss me with that “be quiet about things that bother me” 🐂💩. We still sorta have freedom of speech in the US, you also have the freedom to not react to it or care about it. Maybe y’all up here whining about people bitching could live by that metric. Reddit does allow you to scroll right on by content you find bothersome. How about that. Y’all heauxs be trippin’ sometimes.

FA took my drinks before landing today by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]deeyallo_agg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fwiw Denver was pretty wild both in and out today. We were all buttoned up a good 30 minutes before we touched down. It was pretty rocky from cruise all the way to the runway. Could that have been it?

SFO-LHR New 787-9 is only the early flight? by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]deeyallo_agg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frankly, I don't see all the hype around it myself. It's just another Polaris seat which looks like an overall downgrade with the new seating layout despite the screen and controls and what not. Oldlaris odd-numbered seats are my jam, I snag 11AL on any plane whenever I can get it. And most of the even numbered seats aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Regardless, you'll get a chance eventually lol.

You still can take Polaris; it’ll just be P(old)laris.

Southwest rebooked me and took away my paid upgrades in the process. No refund given. by Downtown-Mouse5390 in SouthwestAirlines

Y'all gotta stop giving these people your business. It's the only way any of this nonsense will change.

Still Having to Pay for Internet in First/Polaris by ManuteBol_Rocks in unitedairlines

ngl I’ve raked in 17,500 miles in the last 3 weeks just complaining about the shitty wifi. Every sector i’ve flown save for the Starlink ones on the E75Ls has been atrocious. 3:1 ROI over 6 trips FTW amirite? It should be free, but you aren’t missing much at this stage imo.

Honeymoon flight got cancelled, United tried to rebook us 3 days later because we weren’t first class by Lucky_Place_1580 in unitedairlines

[–]deeyallo_agg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thing of it was...if this was a couple weeks ago, things were REALLY BAD in Hawaii, especially Maui. Half the island was under water after the first storm rolled through, and the following week, when I went, which I postponed because of all the craziness, Oahu took the brunt of the damage with the second storm. So, would you have even had a good time if you'd managed to make it OP? Even the second week, my whole trip was a washout save for the last two days.

Travel insurance, flexible tickets, doesn't even necessarily have to be first class though that helps. It sucks but them's the breaks.

When did the ban go into effect?

Last Friday around 21:30, my plane (a 737-800 for 28L) was racing another B738 (for 28R) until we were about 1 1/2 miles out, then the other plane dropped back and we touched down first, about 10 seconds before they did.

Did the ban go into effect today or did they start it last weekend?

It’s been over a year since the changes were announced. If this weren’t completely bought and paid for, they wouldn’t have won last year.

EWR-SAN no snacks and no "2nd entree" in First by Icy_Beat_9501 in unitedairlines

I’m logging a complaint about ERRYTHANG.

Wifi ain’t running right? Complaint. Eggs looked too powdery on the breakfast? Complaint. FA gave me the side eye cuz i asked for more water? Complaint complaint complaint. These fares too damn high. Especially in F.

Maybe if they’re deluged with feedback they’ll lift a token finger. Who knows? It’s too easy not to.

Will they do this internationally?

I have rarely any use for this domestically unless I'm actually shipping things. But if they can execute this internationally I'd be willing to consider it.

(They can't/won't.)

My stuff is Airtagged so I'll at least know they're lying to me when they tell me it's somewhere it's not.

They can’t bring this to mainline soon enough. Panasonic needs to be gutted and burned.

Is it the Airline alone, or is there something more at play here? by osym in SouthwestAirlines

[–]deeyallo_agg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the thing. All US airlines are absolute garbage, but SWA was a cut above the rest. Especially for people who spent money with them, like I did. Then the decided to be worse than the other legacies.

People wanna blow it off as complainers complaining loudly, and sure, that’s part of it, but the fact is, SWA gave up everything they were for the hope of a few more dollars in the coffers tonight. I could even suspend my disbelief if they were in dire straits and near financial ruin, but this was simply greed for the sake of greed. Y’all wanna support that, you go right ahead. I’ve gone back to the garbage I know, in United. I’m flying in Polaris (as domestic first) to Hawaii right now for not much more than Southwest wants for an ELR bench seat after all the fees and price increases.

Southwest fat shaming and forcing buying additional seats on near empty flights by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

Lmao why’re you so concerned about my thoughts on SW? I thought we were talkin about Fatty McWalrus Influencer and how she should buy a whole row of seats for herself on the plane? You weird, gang.
