United is my new favorite to fly during the pandemic that does not block the middle seats. I always prefer an airline like Delta that blocks seats, but United takes the cake among those who are not.

I was very impressed with the fact that both airports I visited were completely refurbished with new health and safety measures, as well as the use of the airline’s digital directions to remove social messages.

I also appreciate the airline that brings the airline back, which makes the difference on longer flights. United is the first airline I flew with during the pandemic, where I got to drink something other than bottled water, and I really appreciate it.

United is not perfect, as smaller airports in the airline network do not have the same precautions as the Denver and Houston hubs, as is the case with many airlines, but they are better than most airlines I pandemic. .
