The service was good, the food could have been better.

I found the staff to not be very attentive at all. When paying for Business Class you expect a certain type of service and that was not found. They were almost rude even

Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.

I was charged for my daughters bag when I am supposed to receive two free checked bags with my United Explorer card.

The flight was canceled the day of the flight. United says it was FAA issue, with some 35 flights canceled and more delayed.

The design of the light switch on the arm rest is ridiculous.

Overall poor for me I paid extra for seats with leg room and my regional flights exit row seats have less leg room then the others that's money that could have been saved and on my final flight home the flights air was not operating it was unbearably hot in the cabin I will be contacting United and filing a DOT complaint

I don’t understand the purpose of the orange “priority” tag on my bag. This tagged, my bag is last or near to the last bag to come down the carousel at IAH.

Food choices were very limited. Taste of the dishes was average.

Great. Food going from Australia to the US was better than other way around, but still needs improvement in terms of quality and quantity!!!
