Today I Flew United Airlines and American Airlines in order to find out how good and bad they actually were and what the differences were like! United and American Airlines are both considered to be to of the best and most popular Airlines in all of the United States but how different can they really be? I show you everything from the check in, to the in flight experience and all the interactions with staff so we can truly see how each airline compares to one another!

Let me know which two airlines I should fly next!!!✈

[andrewsunde]

I will tell you this... You need to pick the same aircraft for these. You flew on a 737-MAX on United which is almost brand new and features their premium product. For American, you were on a regular old 737-800 and those things are old and dirty.

I gave my United Airlines flight attendants a bag of candy when I first boarded and they were so excited and treated me like gold for the flight. They have a hard job and I wanted them to feel appreciated.

I recently took United from Brussels to Newark to Toronto. I liked the fact you could track your checked bags on their app. A great experience overall!

This series is ENTERTAINING LOLLLL, do you think you can do a video on tips and tricks for like booking flights and like what credit cards you use if you build up rewards and stuff?

Having flown both of these carriers, I am going to tip my hat off to United. Friendlier crew and better chances of getting domestic flights on heavy aircraft. (Flying between Newark and O'Hare on Boeing 757/777s. 👍

Always remember that American Airlines is the former US Airways with a new paint job.
United earned some of my loyalty last year for doing two things.
1) My outbound flight was cancelled overnight. By the time I woke, they had automatically rescheduled me on another flight with a connected flight. My original flight was a direct flight. The connected flight upgraded my seat.
On my inbound flight, I paid for 2 upgraded seats. The economy seats were pretty tight and horrible.
2) One day later after I had returned home, I had 4 refunds from United. One for the changed flight. Three for the upgraded seats
Communication was great from the early notification of cancellation, to automatically being rescheduled, to the unexpected refunds.

My first flight as an adult was United Airlines. I flew from Newark Liberty International Airport to Edward "Butch" O'Hare International Airport. I flown on their Airbus A319-131 and returned on their Boeing B767-322ER. LOVELY experience and I also flown on United Express as the ERJ-175 and the CRJ-550.

When you went on United, you rode the 737MAX which was a much newer version than the American’s 737 that you were on. You can tell by the winglets.

I had the worst flight ever. We traveled with AA from Charlotte to PCB a few days ago and dealt with unpredictable, unprofessional staff. There was anxious staff, a depressed vibe, and pilots who did weird maneuvers. The weather was terrific. However, there was severe turbulence and some unpredictable actions, such as turning the plane, flying faster/slower, tilting, and getting higher/lower. We landed after 3 hours instead of 50 minutes. It was like they were having a training. That was felt like the plane would crash. That was a traumatic experience. Never again.

You can walk between terminals 1, 2, 3. Each one is connected to the other via a bridge way. So you could have went to the lounge in terminal 2 even if you are in terminal 1 with out going back through security or taking the airport train.

Ive had both good and bad experiences on United. Took em to Florida a few weeks back. The way down was great and the way back they delayed us for over 8 hours and they screwed over the flight behind us as well.
