About the airline
United Airlines is a major network carrier, and the code on your booking is UA. Its route map stretches across the Americas — Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala and Panama all feature — and its example routes in Europe include Paris – Krakow, Barcelona – Krakow, Lisbon – Warsaw, Barcelona – Warsaw, Dublin – Chisinau and Paris – Madrid.
The airline is well rated, which in practice means a steady, familiar product rather than a gamble on an unknown carrier. Expect a schedule built around connections, so one ticket can cover a long stretch of your trip.
Before you book, check what your fare includes: cabin and hold baggage, seat selection, and whether changes are allowed. Confirm whether each leg is direct or involves a stop, who operates it, and how tight the connection is. Then compare the dated fares here and pick the day that suits you.
