melbourne accommodation guide Sad times, indeed. As for the Danish connection, United attempted to explain, saying in a statement that "the level of bookings made with Danish Kroner as the local currency was significantly higher than normal during the limited period melbourne accommodation guide that customers made these bookings."
United Airlines is a Joke! I would never fly United.... I would rather Walk or take a bus than Fly there shitty airline. They've screwed me one too many times. lost baggage, cancelled flights.. with no compensation melbourne accommodation guide except being rude.. Fly Virgin. BEST Airline Going! just my 2 Cents...
United's computer system has been a disaster ever since they merged with Continental. After 3 years of constants screw ups you would think management would get their act together. They regurarly melbourne accommodation guide make life difficult for many of us who book on their website. I do not feel sorry for them at all and hope that one of these days someone sues them and force them to honor their mistakes. Only then will United get their act together. What was once a great airline is now at the bottom of everybody's list
Lie, cheat, and steal seems to be the norm nowadays. People want something melbourne accommodation guide for nothing, no matter who gets hurt in the process. If I win, who cares about anyone melbourne accommodation guide else. American deserves better from its citizens. Taking advantage of others is not something to be proud of......
I used to have great respect for airlines for the first half of my life but then after the HORRENDOUS decision of Congress to de-regulate the industry they became just as greedy. irritating, and obnoxious as many other US businesses, only interested in how much money they can stuff into their stockholders and executives pockets and giving no thought to their customers, the people who keep them in business. Flying USED to be an enjoyable melbourne accommodation guide and fairly pleasant experience. Today, it's a nightmare and exercise in survival melbourne accommodation guide and tolerance. When they began charging for every little bit of food and THEN, worst of all, not having enough of it on a flight melbourne accommodation guide for everyone who wanted to purchase it so some went hungry that was the final straw for me. Members of my family most often travel melbourne accommodation guide by Amtrak or car today and rarely fly. United has done FAR more damage to themselves and in the end will most likely lose more money by lost customers than if they had just honored the tickets. Except for flying safely I don't wish them well at all.
Somewhere in the fine print,and this is common for pretty much all businesses especially any form of retail,which is what an airline ultimately is,is a clause exempting them from the issues caused by eroor or technical prolems.It's standard stuff and everybody should understand it's always there...there are no too good to be true deals that will stick...
Unfortunately the vast majority of people this day and age are too stupid to understand how business works. If you have to go through such a process to get cheap tickets, melbourne accommodation guide you should immediately assume that somethings up. I just hope they got their money back.
Why all the subtrefuge to purchase a ticket if everything was legit! This, unfortunately, our modern BLEEPED up world where some try to profit from someone's else's OBVIOUS mistake. To show how screwep up these people are they are castigating UAL for being a BUSINESS that depends on OTHERS for their survival. I wonder melbourne accommodation guide how many of the whining crybabies would honor the MISTAKE if it was their company.
You are missing the point. Ever since United merged with Continental, their computer systems has been a joke. After more than three years they still have not fixed the bugs becasue it is cheaper for them to use bandaids instead of putting money into the system melbourne accommodation guide and fix it. This happened due to greed. It has happened before and they did nothing melbourne accommodation guide about it.
Truly unbelievable - they had the perfect opportunity to show how much they care about their passengers and reputation and completely blew it. Guess when you get so big you don't need to take care of those who are important melbourne accommodation guide to your business, you know those that if they go elsewhere will put you out of business.
