Actually yes - the SFO food court looks way nicer than the UCs.

They allow all kind of people in - malodorous passengers, folks with perfume. Either be strict or be tolerant - I myself much prefer the scent of McDo over perfume.

I find it much more surprising that their lounges are trash heaps. Probably grace to the same no-cleaning policy which is applied to the planes.

If you are a 2MM then UA does not the "not renewing" for you for free .

I don't miss their lounges.
