Christina and I were on our return from Viking on United from London to San Francisco, seated in the first row of business the small section between first and the galley (3 rows). After a short time we noticed that it was very cold (aprox. 55F).We were told that the heating system was not working in our area-DUH !They gave us extra blankets,heated water bottles to give us.We put on our coats and put newspapers over our feet to try to keep warm. Well 10 hours later we got to SFO.
My question is do you think United offer of "Appreciation" is fair ?
