My Wife and I bought two first class…

My Wife and I bought two first class tickets to go see our new grandbaby about 6 weeks ago. We were sitting next to each other. Yesterday at 4:30pm, I get message saying our seats were moved. We immediately call and request this to be fixed. They can’t help us. We were told to ask nicely at the gate. Didn’t work again. Now it my responsibility to beg and plead with another passenger for us to sit together. We don’t fly first class often, but we’re celebrating our new grandbaby and my wife’s birthday. How is this acceptable. Nobody can help. Unacceptable! I’m a business owner and I would never allow that to happen to one of my customers.

7/7/24 Tampa to Frankfurt

7/7/24 Tampa to Frankfurt with Continental Airlines. Experience I would never wish to travel again. Comfort is a 3, seats are too close and not comfortable for a 9 hour trip. We were looking for a wheelchair, staff who work with such passengers they simply left us at the airport and after an hour someone came to pick us up but it was too late, another plane took off and we were late. Then even bigger problems arise. The Continental agent asks us to buy new tickets because we were late, but not by our will, but people who are in charge of the disabled. Although we got new tickets and waited for the next plane for 10 hours, I wouldn't want to travel with Continental anymore.

Never travel through Continental/United…

Never travel through Continental/United Airlines! Worst airlines ever. You call three times before your trip and verify that your carry ons are included With out extra charge and they say yes. When you get to the gate they tell you that it does not include any so you spend half a paycheck to check in all the carryons and the planned check ins... this is wild.

What a shambles.

What a shambles.
I have flown a few times with Continental / United Airlines, but enough is enough, my last flight will be my last flight with them.

The overall customer service was very poor for a transatlantic flight and the food and service came from the bottom of the barrel. I was never so glad to get off a flight which ran out of food, listening to staff joking near the cabin when customers required service, it was like a cattle train.
The flight was no problem with good weather etc. but imagine what it would have been like if it was bad weather.

You need to train your staff in service etic ate. I was not surprised to see the bad publicity a couple of years ago when that poor passenger was thrown off the plane because United overbooked. For your information we are human beings not animals....shame on Continental / United Airlines.

No stars

My wife and I woke up this morning at 2am to ship a Presa Canario puppy to Calgary through Continental. They told us to report to ticketing at 4am, upon arrival we then found out that ticketing is not the place to be for international flights, and we need to report to cargo. Problem is, the flight leaves at 6am and cargo doesn't open until 7am...... Then, after trying to work with them to remedy the fiasco over the phone this morning, they tell us they will not ship a Presa Canario over 20 lbs!
They booked this flight for us twice and never told us the breed stipulation. Nor did they tell us it is not physically possible to make this flight because it leaves at 6 and cargo opens at 7. And so far no one is willing to go out of their way to make this better. They told us to wait for their call or email, as they will try to arrange for us the service in which we inquired initially. And here we sit, some 5 hours later, and no call or email. So we woke up at 2, drove an hour to the Airport, waited 45 minutes to be told to we can't ship your puppy, than drove another hour back home with the puppy we intended on shipping. We have been shipping dogs all over the world for almost 20 years, and never have we been sent through the ringer like this.
So, if you use continental, make sure that they have their ducks in a row. Personally, that will be our last transaction with them.

Top Class

I flew for Manchester UK to NYC. There were no problems or any delays and service on board was excellent.
