Welcome to a new flight report, this time in a new aerolíline that comes to this segment on the blog, we were able to fly with United Airlines to Quito in one of its 9 weekly frequencies with which it currently operates to the capital.
coming back from USA, and thenés to have flown tooén with Frontier Airlines how I told youé in their respective report, today we are going to know más details about cówhat it's like to fly with United.

Flying United from Houston to Quito
Before getting into the matter, I want to tell you that at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport there are many options to do spotting from its different terminals, so if you want to entertain yourself for a while, there is a lot of tráfic with which hang out, for sample:
Now I knowí, let's get into the matter. If you are traveling from Houston in connectionón, they must be very attentive to the gate assigned for their flight, given that this can change from one second to another due to aircraft delayón assigned or simply operational issues.
As an example, Above you can see that there are a hundred flights and gate changesí se and, in fact even with terminal changes. In my case I lived ití on the flight arriving from Quito, teníto door C11 and he touched meó go to the B20 by touching use train and walk ráI ask to arrive, así take this into account.
As in the great majoríaerosolílines in the world, even before the pandemic, boarding is by groups, which isá well indicated on the boarding pass and on United signs are shown where each person must board.
I call on you to respect the order of boarding and avoidingí agglomerations, In the image below we see a family that hasíto group 5 to board, even though I asked themé if they were a group 1 They insisted thatí, until it arrivedó United staff to review the passes and earned a wake-up callón.
Let's avoid these problems and respect the indications, that gives it in españbe englishés so it is impossible to get lost, given that these actions delay the boarding processes and are issues that the staff asks for moreás at once to avoid delays.
A great recommendationón, use the Aerol cell phone applicationsídenies, every dayía are better and útiles. For example, Untied allows you toás of the báboarding pass syco, informationóflight number, puerta, silla, etc. you can alsoén:
- Track your suitcase in real time, you can see from dówhere it comes, dónde isá y a dówhere it goes. Así that if it does not reach its destination you have informationón first hand to recover it.
- Something that as AvGeek I lovedó is that you can see from which previous destinations you arrivedó the grandfatherón that you are going to fly in case there is any delay.
- You can alsoén manage your extras preferences or purchase United Club passes for example.

Let's approach:
It must be indicated that the flight leftó in a 99% full, no mátwo-seaters were free, despite the occupationón, Aerol very kindlyíI don't realize itó an upgrade from econ classóseat 27A to 4A in Business class, so this report changedó considerably to be able to show them its benefits.
Something that called meó the attentionón on United flights, are the permanent announcements of the use of a mask, They even offer you masks at no cost if you don't have one and if you are not able to use it for the entire duration.óflight number, you must communicate it so that they look for another way to take you to your destination.
Flying on United business has some benefits like priority boarding, personalized services, an excellent gastronomic offerómica, priority landing and even, Free Internet (only coverage within the United States) and seats that recline extra and with more space – comfort.
And téIn general terms, the flight was very good and with a very high level of service from the people and the food service., that in economy classómica remains, but with the difference that the service is drinks and snacks only.
The flight from the height of Panamaá approximately it was very bumpy until landing, where Quito received usó with its traditional frío and a heavy rain that made máthe approach is movedón, but thank you at dawn, passengers didn't even feel it.
