    United Airlines are offering the best price by far to New York. I have never flown with them. Looking for peoples experience with them. TBH I am a very nervous flyer and usually avoid going abroad but am biting the bullet so am looking to go with the best airline and most comfortable.

    How do you know it's a United Airlines plane?

    First, check which airport the flight is going to: If it's flying to Dublin to Newark, it will be United.

    If you're flying Dublin to JFK, it will be an Aer Lingus plane (United codeshare with them, which basically means they can sell seats on the Aer Lingus flight).

    If it's the first, and it's United, it's not awful. Smaller plane (757) than Aer Lingus, but with in seat power, movies/TV on demand and not awful food it's not really all that bad for a flight that lenght.

    went with them recently. they are good enough. i found the legroom to be a bit more cramped than other airlines. food was good enough on the way over but terrible on the way back.

    movie selection was alright but the touch screen control was bad. the staff weren't overly friendly but i didn't have a problem with them.
    i would fly with them again

    United and continental merged last year. Newark is the old Continental hub.

    I fly that route twice a year usually and it's a really nice easy way to get to NY. Much easier to get into the city than from JFK.

    The aeroplanes are nice too. Comfy enough. TV's in the back of the seat in front of you so you can watch what you like. Good service.

    They're not one of the cheap US airlines like delta.

    ^^^

    could also be Delta or American Airlines (from June 2013)

    Not if we're talking about an United flight...
