Didn’t really understand the automated check in

Feb 20, 2020

Our plane departed from SFO 2 hours late because of a malfunction in the electronics of the plane. It was fixed and we departed. The pilots were good about informing the passengers of what was happening. Once we took off the flight to Honolulu was very smooth and comfortable although it was really windy. The pilots did a great job. Great landing!

What was horrible you can’t control, however the dude sitting next to my son had horrible horrible breath. Just overbearing for the entire flight! He said he couldn’t even sleep it stunk so bad! Not only that, he was blowing his nose and coughing ugh! Very uncomfortable flight!!

Way to warm waiting 1/2 hr in plane for take off. Then it got way too cold!! The descent was a sudden drop before landing which caused quite a few exclamations.

The flight crew was wonderful! Genuinely kind, friendly, helpful and accommodating; some of the best I have ever met! Unfortunately, the seats were extremely uncomfortable. There simply is not enough space to sit comfortably and be able to move around at all. I dropped something on the floor in front of me and would not have even been able to pick it up without leaning into my neighbor’s lap. (It’s ok though, we were together.). Also, my seatback (I was in seat 52E) refused to stay reclined. That was disappointing and frustrating.

Big problems

Feb 12, 2020

Never flying them again delayed our flight and then would not cover any hotel or meals - awful experience

Jan 16, 2020

When when boarding passes were printed ,me and my wife were sitting next to each other as originally chosen. When boarding in San Francisco we were forced to be separed from each other without an explanation.

Jan 7, 2020

I paid for 100 an upgrade, but they overbooked the flight and moved me to another flight that didnt have the seat I wanted and paid for. Also didnt get the drinks and service that were supposed to come with my paid upgrade. Total waste of $100.

Jan 5, 2020

Delayed flight and almost missed connecting flight to final destination

Jan 2, 2020

Orbits didn’t work with me on any of the flight info, also my flight was cancelled without my knowledge. Tried to file a claim and received the run around for answers. Most likely will never use orbits for any of my travel in the future.

Dec 26, 2019

Delays to both flights. Sat on boarded planes for over 2 hours.

Nov 1, 2019

One of our seats was double booked and my dad who is over 65yr had to seat away from us. We were on the plane after arrival for over 40 mind and very little explanation. Horrible service overall

Jul 28, 2019

I travel a lot with many different airlines. But I don’t usually experience significant delays except two I had recently, which was both United. We had to change rental car reservation because of the delay. We could not recover the cost of initial rental car reservation. We lost so many hours of our short vacation because of the delay.
