Crew and customer service are 5 stars. I had a lot of luggage for a very long trip and they were nothing but helpful and found solutions to every problem. It was my first time flying with United, and they really are the friendly skies. Leg room however, on 2/3 flights was terrible. Same for entertainment: There was only a seat-mounted screen on 1/3 flights. It would have been nice to have on the longest leg of the journey.
