Our flight home was interesting, as United didn't cool down the plane, and it had sat on the runway all night. It was over 100 degrees inside the cabin. We waited for them to cool it down to about 85, took 1 1/2 hours. Still really hot, it didn't cool down until we were about to land 3 1/2 hours later. United did offer us a bottle of free water....so generous...and free T.V. However, my TV and hubby's didn't work. :mad: I slipped and fell on our tile floor, and got a concussion. Ouch! Yesterday, was the pits.:banghead: Doing better today, taking meds for headache. At least I waited until I got home, before falling.:rolleyes::happy:

Oh dear. Sympathy like.

Free water. Big whoop. All soft drinks on Southwest are complimentary. And I've never had them do that in all the times we've flown with them.

We weren't thrilled with United. One of the reasons we are flying Delta to Hawaii. Seriously, you should write United. There's no way that you should have had to deal with that, not when you're paying so much to fly.

As for the falling, so sorry. Seems you cannot catch a break

I go on adrenalin in Disney, and the lower altitude with much more oxygen helps. Along with the grand kids, fighting about who gets to sit by Grandma and Grandpa, keeps us going. You may have noticed my crossed eye, due to a stroke in my 50's, along with losing my hearing in my left ear. Two years ago, I had a tumor removed from my parathyroid. I dragged around for the next year and a half. Going to Disney two years later, after surgery...surprised me as well. I've never kept this schedule, for a very long time. As I told hubby....I'm back, thanks to a very good Doctor, and surgeon. :happy:

We have written, many times, as United almost is always late....hubby was a frequent flyer with them, as their hub, is Denver. All we get back is a form letter...sorry about your experience, we are working to correct....blah blah blah....that's it. A very poor company, with no customer service. We have one more flight with them, and going to try southwest and frontier. So much for customer loyalty.

To be fair, I really doubt that I do have more energy. Hubby and I skip rides, and sit between the next ride. We do one area of the park, each day...much less walking, and getting in at rope drop. Let's our kids get the mountain coasters out of the way. Splash, space, and thunder, while we sit in an air conditioned spot and have a second cup of coffee. Our daughter writes for Touring Plans, and we use their guide lines to tour more efficiently . Other than the first day, we went back after lunch, and rested, or took a shower and nap. If went out about 4 pm , we only stayed another hour. Some days we didn't go in at all. We only do one ride of each, that we can do....in 10 days. I know it looks like we did a lot, and for me, I did much more this year....but we go really slow, find air conditioning. Like walking down town Disney, thru the shops. In Epcot we go through innovations, east and west, to keep cool. We drink lots of water, and need frequent bathroom stops, in air conditioning. Just some of the ways to do Disney for us "older" folks. :happy:

Southwest is great. Two free checked bags per person, free soft drinks on the plane, and rates are usually excellent. Their planes don't have the amenities of United (no TVs), but we've rarely had problems with them, and when we have, they've been great. A few years ago, one bag did not show up at BWI. We got it delivered to our home in less than 24 hours, but they gave all of us $50 flight vouchers for our troubles.

United? Flight attendants tended to be rude, tv screens are sound was terrible...we flew with them on our first trip out to Hawaii because there was a direct flight from Washington Dulles to Honolulu. They don't do that flight anymore. Last time, coming back, not only did a flight attendant have on way too much perfume, but they were talking in the back and laughing. This was an overnight flight, so when you're trying to sleep, not exactly what you want. We're giving Delta a try this time.

I can't feel bad for a company that does poorly when they don't listen to customers or take their complaints seriously. Now I'm sure they get a lot of complaints over silly stuff (bad weather? Why is my flight cancelled? What do you mean we can't take off because of a mechanical issue?) But they need to investigate and realize the difference between complaining just for the sake of complaining and legitimate problems that could affect them in the long run.

EDIT: Worth noting, this is the same company that put passengers in military barracks after their flight was delayed.
