I was going to ask about avenues within UA for customer service and bag handling. Still waiting on a bag from OSL-LHR-EWR on July 14. 1K Bags (finally found a helpful person there) says it's sitting...

It's an easy walk (about 15 min.) to my house from ITH, and now that CO and UA have merged, I'd say that's the best walk for me from any UA airport. Definitely seasonal, though.

The IAD A gates are the worst incomprehensible cacophony in the whole UA system. It would be great to have clear, understandable announcements there.

I agree very much with connecting through IAD rather than ORD if you're going to go on UA. Those are my two main hubs and I avoid ORD like the plague in the winter. CO through EWR is just as bad. ...
