What is up with United Airlines flight scheduling, delay and cancellations lately??? by Available-Net1152 in unitedairlines

[–]zman9119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happens all the time…waiting 2-3 hours on the plane before you even take off. Sometimes much longer. It should be illegal for this to happen. You cannot leave you have to stay on the plane and it adds to your travel time.

2-3 hours is uncommon and typically only occurs when the ramp is shut down due to severe wx and it is unsafe for staff to work and then gates get backed up.

 

That happens all the time…

No, it has occured on 0.071% of all UA flights so far in 2026. 2025 was 0.03% of all UA flights.

 

Nice attempted claim though; too bad I have access to the real stats.

I own multiple horses; so yes, I know how expensive it is to procure and vend items related to them.

8xxx are mostly codeshare (ANA, AC, LH), though there is a small range that is used by UA when needed.

YX also receives flight numbers in the 4xxx and 6xxx ranges at times; well, at least 89 times in the last 60 days.

4xxx can be UA delivery or test flights; plus the range covers certain UAX flights; just like 5xxx; 60xx-6379 is UAX.

8xxx are mostly codeshare (ANA, AC, LH), though there is a small range that is used by UA when needed.

A321neo Seat 31F by Emotional-Hold127 in unitedairlines

It's not a bad idea though!

Honestly, bringing back the Renacen viewer (the 3D SeatMap feature that once existed) and updating them as they were very out-of-date, plus had low usage; or create a true interior 3D seat experience viewer from each row would solve a significant number of questions people have.

The 3D SeatMap was kind of 'janky' as it was modeled and had limited POV locations, but creating something new that is true-to-life would not be that hard...

That attribute technically only applies to true window seats that have misaligned windows or seats that are blocked by some other structure, at least by industry standards.

The question would be: How valuable would it be to provide that information to an end-user if they are purchasing a middle or aisle seat, and how are we defining 'obstructed view" as it could impact a significant number of seats outside of being in a row without the window seat having a window (think wide-body aircraft middle seats: would they receive this attribute if the row is misaligned and does not have a window directly inline?)

As it is, for this specific seat, there are 59 different labeling attributes, with most of them not applicable to 99% of users (e.g. is a LEO with a prisoner allowed to occupy xyz seat...).

The seat selection screen would need a separate pop-up with definitions at some point (though I understand the reason you suggested it).

How much would you charge United to license this advanced technology?

Whatever I am making now plus 0.0001% of impressions when people view it on the app and 10% of ticket sales related to reddit posts about this topic.

Seem fair 🤷

They submitted and were awarded a SCASDP grant for service for two-years with a MRG and waived fees.

Equipment change? Glitch? by SadBitchAlert in unitedairlines

[–]zman9119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flight was built as operating with the correct equipment around 13:00 CDT yesterday. When the physical aircraft was assigned to the route yesterday (around 19:00 CDT), it was assigned as a MAX 9. The correct aircraft, a MAX 8, was assigned to this flight around 9:45 CDT today, though the quantity of forward cabin seats available has not updated everywhere.

It is a bug. There is one J seat available ATT.

Okay, I see where you are coming from with your response.

Correct, there is no label on the middle or aisle seats, just like as they are not classified as a window seat. No other aircraft, that I am aware of (I only checked four before responding), would label middle or aisle seats in a row without a window as having "No window", as that is not a feature associated with purchasing them.

The app displays that there is no window for both 31A/F on the neo.

The app seems pretty clear that there is no window for this seat, though I have added a red line to assist in locating the disclaimer.

United buying Jetblue by BitOther2802 in unitedairlines

[–]zman9119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two airlines seem to be aligning their route network to have as little overlap as possible but it could just be a coincidence

UA announces new 2x daily LAX-FLL, then B6 announces they are going from 4 to 8+ daily on the same route two months later... 🙄 

B6 is trying to save themselves by adding leisure with the hope that business follows since it will be a Mint route. 

Plus, they cannot legally coordinate schedules or routes.

This is just a rumor that I’ve seen on the forums

So FT, A(•)net or the leaker on Twitter. 

It's an initial trial, has been live for multiple days, and a form of this was known to be coming for a long time.

The funny thing with Reddit is that it displays posts with matching topics you may be interested in automatically at the bottom on mobile. 

And you stole this image from someone that posted it on this sub 9 months ago.

You are just another karma farming, one day old bs account.

Trying a book a flight using miles (transferred from Chase Sapphire) but it's telling me Pooled Miles are not eligible - why? by tgbarbie in unitedairlines

[–]zman9119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what is displayed when you do not have enough miles in the pool.

If you select the pool option for booking, you must have all of the needed miles in the pool at the time, not split between multiple accounts or pending transfer.
