Having flown many times on United airlines, I have seen the flights getting more crowded and late and here is a perfect example. In fact, this was the first time that there were so many updates. I decided this is worth a blog.
Click here for details of my experience.
Conclusion:
One could easily tell just by looking at the incoming flight that the projections are way off and cause lot of people to come much sooner and wait for hours at the gate. Not enough seating space and power outlets. People stand in lines so much ahead of time because they may not have space to put the carry-on bag in the overhead and forced to check-in and take even longer when they land.
Finally
I hope more people post blogs to get the airlines to re-think how they operate. The focus is on cutting their cost
filling the planes by cutting the number of flights
smaller planes
lesser leg room, charging for some leg room, some more leg room
charging for even 1 check-in bag
not even peanuts with the drink
charging for head phones
not offering even a can of a drink…
What comes next?
Charge for blanket, pillow, water and drinks, using toilet, air inlet, reading light, charging port, charge for carry-on and what you put under your feet…
