Children's toys. A well placed barb attack on a web interface being unsophisticated.

I think it is comparable in speed to hotel, rental car, and other airline bookings I do. I can't remember what the old site was like, maybe I forgot my meds this morning.

I don't find it particularly slow except when my connection is slow (which is most of the time since I live in the Internet boondocks). ITA Matrix searches time out for me far more frequently than searches on united.com.

Wow, SO FAST, and SO MUCH INFORMATION without any distracting crud whatsoever.

I much prefer functionality (and lack of advertisements) over eye-candy. While the current ua.com web site could have some polishing (like needing to reload a page for switching from R/T to O/W to multi-city searches), it's largely effective.

UA Insider, I hope you will relay the consensus about functionality that seems to have emerged back to the higher-ups.

Yes, Labor Day has passed but no one ever said Labor Day of what year ;)

I actually dont have a problem with the site. Maybe it is because I have gotten used to it but works for what I want to check and how results are viewed.

My 2 cents

ITA has been a real pain lately... whats the problem there? Are they just getting more hits than they can handle?

I detest the third-party ads. Just counted there are currently SIX advertisers on the UA home page... and several more of there own ads. By now I am used to the layout -- I know where everything that I need is located and can navigate it easily, so the ads aren't too much of a distraction.

Looking at DL site, they have NO third-party ads.

I've never seen any of these, as I run ....... Plus under Chrome, and you right, it shows a little 6 as the number blocked.

I'm not referring to pop-up ads... these are imbedded ads... for Wyndham Rewards, Cruises, Allstate, etc

....... Plus takes care of embedded ads too. @:-)

+1 to ........ Blocking the ads also makes the site much faster.

And Labor day is just an unofficial end of summer, Doesn't really end until Sept 20/21. Which end of summer did UA say?

Tomorrow is the last day of summer. Fall begins on Tuesday. Anyone think we're going to see the roll-out tomorrow? ;)

A previous employee recently posted in their review on Glassdoor.com that the website was circa 2002. And it appeared they worked pretty close to it.

Just noticed this thread - but here I will defend UA. I think UA has the best website out there and many I know agree.

While I mostly fly AA now - AA is the worst - continually full of bugs and doesn't work with the latest versions of IE. You constantly have to keep logging in on AA over and over and many times some webpages give an error message. The big pictures on AA are a waste.

DL website is also full of bugs. Fresh to me implies full of bugs.

UNITED - you have the best site out there (most stable) - don't change it!

The current UA site is the last CO website which was introduced around 2007-2008. It had lots of bugs when first introduced but it is now the best airline bug free site out there.

To be fair to AA (even though I hate their site, almost as much as I hate DL's) - who uses IE?! ;)
