1) The staff have no sympathy for "airplane beginners" or those who speak foreign languages. Being firm is one thing. Being RUDE is another. Self check-in is new to many people.
2) Every bag costs you. YES - EVERY SINGLE ONE. One or two bags. Over or underweight. It doesn't matter. (Apparently, it would have been free with our e-ticket to Kuwait...which we didn't think we would need!)
3) Blankets or pillows on board? "Why?", they ask!
4) The rule: only carry-on's with wheels are allowed in the overhead compartments. SERIOUSLY?! Isn't this encouraging "those" people to continue bringing extra-heavy bags on board?
5) The only way to quench your thirst or end your hunger is with VISA. Yes - you must pay for snacks, meals, and many of the in-flight beverages. We didn't even receive complimentary peanuts!
6) The movie they played was "Diary of a Whimpy Kid". The show they played was "Frasier". I wonder if we will receive a bill in the mail for these.
7) Whatever happened to "Flight Tracker"? Passengers remained unsure of "how much longer" for the entire flight!
Ah - on a positive note, the landing was SMOOTH!
EW! all very bad bad bad things UNITED!! thanks for the tip! xo
