left on time, reasonable boarding process arrived early luggage came out quickly

It was good but only meal served is very less. Meantime good to add rice and chicken in one of meal

Staff on board was excellent. Positive upbeat helpful- like it used to be.

The only downside was my cell phone charger wouldn’t work in the charging port but everyone else’s would work in them all. My cell phone cable works fine in my hotel room in Frankfurt.

Very thoughtful flight attendant offered me water immediately since I had run to make my connection.

One bag is incorrect and not acceptable for an international flight. The food was not just good. I won't fly with them again.

My experience on this United Airlines flight was highly uncomfortable, primarily due to two issues: Cabin Temperature: The temperature on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was unacceptably high, feeling consistently around 80 degrees throughout the flight. This made sleeping impossible and significantly detracted from the experience. Seating Arrangement: Being stuck in a middle seat for a six-and-a-half-hour overnight flight compounded the discomfort. Moving forward, I will always purchase a seat assignment to avoid this situation.

Flight was delayed only slightly before takeoff due to traffic control. However, the flight arrived early to ORD. Good flight. United has been very reliable for me.

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
