First trip with United in a while. 90 mins delayed out of SFO. Nicely reinforces why I quit flying them.

We've been on the ground for 30 min waiting for a gate. I'm close to emailing and offering to send them an email mid-flight to remind them we are coming since this seems to be a reoccurs g problem.

You realize it could be an air traffic issue and not a United issue?

I've flown AA every week for most of this year with only a couple of delays. Mainly ORD to Florida. Everytime I fly United they're delayed.

Both are problems with all airlines. What makes it worse for United?

I live in a world of blissful ignorance where I assume delta is great because they don't have a hub in Chicago.

While to some extent I agree BA1, United's move to block scheduling at congested hubs would seemingly increase the likelihood since you are driving more traffic through a smaller tunnel.

We are about at the hour mark and still trapped on the plane.

88 people on the upgrade list 😂😂

Haven't flown United since Feb 2015... delays that were originally mechanical became weather... complained to customer service counter to no avail, no hotel room, no taxi... spent the night in ORD terminal.

That was after running to make a connecting flight across the airport after waiting for my checked carry on only to have the jetway door slammed in my face. I beat on the door... when the gate attendant finally reappeared she said she didn't see/hear me... so yeah... never flying them again if I can help it.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
