Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Nothing. Terrible customer service; horrible experience."
Cons: "Nothing. Terrible customer service; horrible experience."
Cons: "Flight delayed by 40 mins, then left 40 mins after scheduled even including the delay, no free in seat entertainment and the wifi was broken. Really not a fun flight overall. Also, please Alaska, get rid of that Cabernet Sauvignon that's sweeter than grape soda. Single worst wine I've ever tasted."
Pros: "The crew was great. Friendly and helpful"
Cons: "A 5 hour Departure delay."
Pros: "It was on time"
Cons: "The first class crew were TERRIBLE! They were obviously not happy to be there or be working. Didn’t check back on us, didn’t pick up our empty glasses, and didn’t even say goodbye. Too busy just talking to each other. I assume this was because it was an American flight. I’ll fly Southwest next tim"
Pros: "Great crew, nice service, comfortable."
Cons: "Nothing. Loved it."
Pros: "Seats were pretty roomy in coach."

Pros: "Yes"
Cons: "Everything was great WiFi didn’t work but I don’t care, just letting you know"
Cons: "Flight attendant was on phone rather than greeting customers as we deplaned."
Pros: "I always enjoy Alaska but this was another level. I was horribly late and still processing at security with 10mins until take off and the guy at the gate called me to see where I was - gave me mins to make it - which I did - just.. I was traveling to San Diego to meet my family for the weekend - I would’ve been in severe trouble had I missed the flight. Thanks Alaska!!"
Cons: "I was in 1st class and they ran out of breakfast options."

Pros: "Everything went smoothly and everyone was extremely nice and helpful."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The attendants were great"
Cons: "The line of people in the aisle waiting for the bathroom."
Cons: "Horrible the worst first class ever seats were outdated and uncomfortable the amenities (snacks) where just bad they had better snacks in coach . The customer service is even bad as well worst mistake of my life"
Cons: "There was only water served then 30 minutes before landing they served juice. We had to ask if we wanted some of the cookies they are suppose to give out"
Cons: "For the first 1.5 hours of the flight one of the flight attendants was talking bad nonstop about previous customers. Then when we landed there was a passive attitude in her tone when she told everyone to exit the plane quickly because they had a flight leaving right after and needed to clean the aircraft in a timely manner. Overall a poor experience traveling to San Diego Alaska flight 1164 September 12 6:00am departure."
Pros: "I had no problems with my pet"
Cons: "Great flight fast Only thing was I didn’t get my boarding pass for my second flight and I had to go through security all over again"

Pros: "Nice roomier plane lots of leg room in main cabin"
Pros: "The flight itself including technicalities, take-off, landing and functionality went really well and I felt safe. the staff were very friendly!"
Cons: "My chair did not recline and I was not made aware of that when I chose that seat. Also did not appreciate how hot the window beside me got luckily the fan helped with that. Wifi sucked, did not work on my phone at all and it seemed everyone around was able to stream shows but I was stuck in a n uncomfortable seat unable to sleep because of my upright position and unable to enjoy any entertainment as wifi did not work at all and there were no TVs or other options for me."
Pros: "The mood lighting on the plane."
Cons: "Not applicable; everything about this flight was great!"
Pros: "The crew was excellent and the aircraft was clean."
Cons: "The only downside was the plane had no food and the announcement wasn’t made until we were already boarding (they didn’t know either - not their fault). I was expecting lunch since I was in first class, but the crew did as well as they could to provide us with snacks."
Pros: "Boarding was fast"
Cons: "I paid to upgrade to a larger seat and it wasn’t much better . The flight had no WiFi and pretty much no entertainment on the iPad they had us pay for either . I will stick with Hawaiian Airlines ."
Pros: "Usb and 120v plugs in seats. Got a row to myself."
Pros: "Every Alaska Airlines employee went above and beyond to make sure our family had a great travel experience. Our seats were assigned together, we were not charged for checking smaller bags, and the beverage/snack service was fast and they checked back often. Seats on this plane were roomy and the flight was not over-crowded. Boarding and de-boarding were easy and relaxed. Arrived ahead of schedule."
Cons: "Wasn't offered any water or snack, only stuff for purchase."
Pros: "What’s not to like about this airline? Honestly, I am such a fan of their Airlines that it’s hard to imagine flying any other in the United States."

Pros: "Flight attendant sang a corny song"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Boarding and expected part of the flight were fine."
Cons: "Because if weather, were were placed into a holding pattern, then rerouted to Ontario, where we were refueled and then flown back to San Diego. Very little information was passed along. The crew began to get short and frustrated with the passengers."
Pros: "Every employee was professional, the plane on time, the landing was smooth."
Cons: "I can't say anything nagative for this flight."
Pros: "everything"
Cons: "Assigned seats separated from my husband. I'm seated in the middle of a couple, while my husband is on the other side of the row. Not happy at all"
Pros: "The first-class flight attendants would sometimes help the main cabin passengers and were generally in a better attitude and much more helpful."
Cons: "The plane was changed and my "Premium" seat was downgraded. The seats were uncomfortable and much too cramped. I paid $89 extra for premium seating, and when cancelled upon, was only offered a $25 credit for future travel plans. Since I cannot count on Alaska, I'm not sure how soon my "future," travel plans will be ..."
Cons: "There were no blankets and it was a bit cold on the flight"
Pros: "My return flight was precisely on time, boarding was efficient and the offer for a free chat service while in the air (though I didn't use it) was a nice touch."
Cons: "While my flight was short and snacks weren't necessary, I was pretty underwhelmed by the snack offerings."
Pros: "It was fine. We thought we had one free bag but we're told we didn't. Really typical of flying today. Everything cost extra, bags, food etc Pretty typical"
Cons: "The free movies they offered would never load even when I downloaded the material needed."
Pros: "Great Upbeat Crew makes for a pleasant flight!"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "I returned on Flight 552 from PDX to SAN. I really want to appreciate the patience and good humour of one of the crew, Becky, who was serving us. I will certainly fly Alaska again."
Pros: "After an absolutely horrible experience with United, we ended up switching and booking a last minute flight on Alaska. So glad we did, they got us there on time, the plane was comfortable, snacks were good and the tablets for movie/TV watching were great. Most importantly it was a direct flight instead of 3!!!"
Pros: "Promptness of departure"
Cons: "Very crowded"
Pros: "Love the leg room and the seat comfort. Loved free WiFi for free movie options. Staff seemed more interested in talking to each other, which is fine unless a guest needed something extra. They weren't bad, just not exceptional."
Cons: "Extra luggage fees, extra food fees, snacks soooo unhealthy."
Pros: "It was my first time flying with Alaska. I was pleasantly surprised with the boarding times, organization, super-friendly crew, free entertainment (a few select movies with complimentary tablets to view them on), and outlets for charging mobile devices in every seat. Easily the best flight I've had in a couple years. I will fly with Aaska again."
Cons: "I felt like the aisle was unusually small ( I was sitting in an aisle seat and was occasionally bumped by people walking by me. Then again, I was in a deep sleep most of the time and could have easily been leaning into the aisle....I'm not really sure. Overall though, best flight I've had in a while. They really do a great job."
Pros: "The plane needed more leg room."
Cons: "It was fabulous as always! Thank you. I love Delta!"

Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "- Put a special meal request. Meal request (vegan vegetarian) was confirmed on my boarding pass. However, when service came, flight attendant informed me that "I don't have any left. sorry". So I went 15 hours without food. - Ceiling light was "broken" and falling off. The light would not turn off, so I went 15 hours with no sleep. Overall very rude and low standard service."
Pros: "Delta worked with us on rebooking a flight after we messed up. Onboard the staff was incredibly friendly and the free snack selection was decent (even gluten free treats). Boarding was an orderly process."

Cons: "Lack of food/snack choices. Seem like a shortage on ice."

Pros: "From friendly staff on the ground to check us in, to helpful flight attendants, Delta has once again convinced us it is one of the better airlines . Will fly delta again."
Pros: "The staff tried their best to help out with the situation. They passed out waters and apologized. I always love the Delta entertainment (so many great selections)!"
Cons: "Stuck in the plane without AC for an hour! We were stuck behind 14 other planes in line to take off and I understand delays happen but the AC wasn't working for some reason and it was extremely hot. The passengers were all super uncomfortable. I wish if they knew we were going to be delayed that they would let us just wait at the gate vs. suffer in the sauna plane."
Pros: "Everything was pretty good like usual, except when we landed we sat on the runway for 45 minutes waiting for a gate as ours was occupied by a plane that was having mechanical issues. Not great."

Cons: "The seats are very hard but I find this with all the airlines now"
Cons: "When I was transferred to Delta's website to book, the date was reset to 6 months in the future. It happened to be the same Monday the 26th so that's why I didn't notice. Delta refused to refund my money. This was a terrible experience and I plan not to use Kayak or Delta again!"
Pros: "Boarding was easy. Wifi was available and we got some snacks. Paid extra to sit in roomier coach, was worth it."
Cons: "Still pretty cramped, not the crews fault. Would've been better with the seat back screens"

Pros: "Crew was great."
Cons: "Video capability or included would be great"
Pros: "the Crew was nice"
Cons: "I already checked in online and paid for a checked bag 24 hours prior to arriving at the airport. I arrived 90 minutes before my flight was boarding and waiting in the bag drop line for over an hour. The agents behind the bag drop receiving kiosks were slow and unorganized. Almost missed my fligh"
Cons: "The entertainment didn't work on my newer iPhone."
Pros: "The flight itself was fine however, I hated have to pay $20 on top of my ticket price for a seat. Next time I'll factor that in and fly delta."

Pros: "Boarding was quick and simple"
Cons: "Our luggage wasn’t put on the flight!!!"
Cons: "It is understandable that flights get cancelled /delayed due to weather conditions but it is NOT ACCEPTABLE to handle the situation the way Sun Country did. My flight was delayed by 3 hours due to weather and I missed my connecting flight. The were was no one available at the San Diego terminal to answer questions and the call wait time was 60+ minutes. Eventually I was told that I would have to make my own arrangements for my connecting flight and the connecting airline (Alaska-which must be an affiliate as I had been booked for a Roundtrip ticket via Sun Country) would be responsible for that. So Sun Country just left me hanging and it was up to me to work with Alaska to complete the second leg of my trip."
Pros: "Flights were on-time, boarding process organized, flight attendants friendly, smooth flight"
Cons: "on line system wouldn't let me pay for my baggage pre-flight (entered info 5x so I had to call, wait 30" for call back, went through just fine over phone. confusion x2 in baggage claim with delays, mix-ups carousels could easily put my bag under the seat in plane #1 but it wouldn't fit under the seat in plane #2 (space size definitely smaller)"
Cons: "45 min. delay waiting for connecting flight from New York. Realize the weather was bad out east so can understand that."
Cons: "Zero space, no assigned seating, unhelpful crew."

Cons: "there was no entertainer Chennel"

Pros: "Very friendly crew"
Cons: "Dear didn't recline (I realize for safety)"
Cons: "I arrived an hour before my flight and the gate staff had left for the evening, so I couldn't check in for my flight. No self-service web check in either. And their customer service dept couldn't help get me checked in. So I had to miss my flight and go home."
Pros: "Clean plane, roomy, easy on off, nice staff"
Cons: "No free snacks, no free entertainment"
Pros: "The boarding method went the quickest of all flights I've been on for both flights. Check-in in MSP was quick and some of the attendants were friendly based on what I overheard. Staff in SAN was friendly."
Cons: "A new mom was in the aisle walking to keep her baby quiet and to stretch her legs (after the drink, snack, and trash carts had gone by) and had her back to a flight attendant also coming down the aisle. She was talking to another parent on the flight when the attendant came behind her and told the woman, "Excuse me. Some of us are still working." Her tone was suuuuper rude and uncalled for. A friendly "excuse me, please" would have been just fine and would have gotten the job done. I went to the bathroom a couple minutes later and the attendant was on her break and eating, so maybe she was hangry, but still! Seats were uncomfortable on both flights, but not as bad as Spirit Airlines. I had bad low back pain afterwards, even after getting up to walk partway through the flight. This is something I've experienced on a couple other airlines too, but the legroom on planes has gotten worse. For those of us with long legs, it's a huge pain. I'm 5'9", so I can't imagine how it is for someone taller. The legroom on Sun Country was just as bad as other flights. Probably a strange complaint, but the seat back pocket had a bar running in the hem, so when I put my water bottle inside, the entire pocket stuck out as far as my water bottle. This meant I had to choose between having the pocket rub against my knees or hold my water bottle between my thighs. Neither were ideal. The check-in in San Diego was painfully slow. There were three people standing there, but only one person seemed to be checking people in. The staff was friendly here. A Sun Country employee at MSP told a man he had to check his carry-on suitcase because the wheels stuck out of Sun Country's tiny metal carry-on test box a CENTIMETER. I kid you not. Absolutely ridiculous. I saw much larger luggage come onto the flight. The woman who checked me in was quick but I wasn't able to ask any questions before being sent away. No free snacks or entertainment which seem to be included on most other similarly priced airlines. The food for purchase (burgers and Jimmy Johns or something) made the plane smell bad. I asked for coffee with cream and sugar as my complimentary drink and was given the powdered creamer packets. Fine, okay, I understand if that's all they have, but then I saw them walking through the aisle later offering coffee and they had creamer cups in their aprons! No one asked me which kind I wanted. :("
Cons: "Handheld device rental too expensive and tv show selection to limited for my interests. I brought my own device and just wanted wifi to watch my shows on netflix."
Pros: "Great flight. Very friendly flight crew."
Pros: "low price flight attendants offered multiple rounds of beverages seat was reasonably comfortable"
Cons: "long delay for unclear reasons (problem with a printer?) no wifi available in flight"
Pros: "Easy boarding Nice Staff"
Pros: "Stewardesses smiled a lot Safe flight"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Lucked out with no one in the middle seat again.."
Cons: "I was in row 9 so my seat didn't recline because the exit row was behind me which literally made me furious. I was so uncomfortable I asked a flight attendant for a pillow & she said they didn't have any when I in fact saw the overhead compartment in the front of the plane with pillows in it while boarding... I found that super rude."
Pros: "Direct flight and it was on time!! Flight attendants were friendly."
Cons: "Could have used a little more space or a reclining seat."
Pros: "I'm not sure what is and isn't in the control of sun country and what aspects just have to do with the weather/airport. Everything was fine but our flight was delayed an hour with no explanation and then we ended up sitting in the airplane for an hour and a half. I assumed they airport crew was loading luggage into the plane. But no explanation was given. The flight attendants were awesome and I ended up with a whole row to myself."
Pros: "So easy, totally enjoyed the Check in to landing!"
Pros: "Sun Country air is great. I'd take them again. Our flight got delayed at our start point and when we got to Minneapolis for our connecting flight, they held all the applicable connecting flights for us. That's something that no other airline will so. I haven't had that happen since the 80's! The staff was pleasant too. An all over great airline"
Pros: "nice flight"
Cons: "nothing."
Pros: "No frills"
Pros: "on time and no problem getting seats I wanted"
Cons: "Given unsafe seat. Had to change at last minute prior to landing, by a very abrupt flight attendant. Seat should have been red lined. Another passenger where I was moved to had a similar experience. My flight attendant told me that I should have reported the issue earlier. How was I to know that any seatback that goes up 2 inches short of vertical is bad. Am I to know the airline or FAA rules?"
Cons: "I have never been so cold on a flight. I thought I was going to loose feeling in my feet. I had to put on socks and stuff my feet in my carry on under the seat in front of me. I had to warm up my shoes between my legs before putting them on to disembark."
Pros: "Thank you, SunCountry. This was our first time on your airline and I could not have been more impressed. The process was smooth, simple and extremely timely. Also appreciate the allowance of a carry on at no extra cost. The staff was pleasant and kind. We really enjoyed our experience."
Pros: "Friendly staff"
Pros: "Everything about the experience was good. The airplane was comfortable and clean."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "It was a pretty good flight..."
Pros: "I really appreciate that you continue to honor those of us who have or are serving in the military by allowing us to board early. It is very humbling to be shown this preferential treatment, but it says something very good about Sun Country, so thanks for doing it."
Pros: "So convenient in mpls!"
Cons: "I suggest in flight wifi for purchase on your own device"
Pros: "Flight was right on time and attendants were awesome."

Pros: "The plane, Embrair 175 is very comfortable."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "On time. Fast boarding. Comfortable seating."
Pros: "Flight attendants were friendly and thoughtful."

Cons: "food could be better, not bad though"
Pros: "Plane was clean"

Pros: "On time departure. Early arrival. Lots of seat back movies."
Cons: "Need more new releases for movie selection."
Pros: "Nothing. Just the pilot"
Cons: "Everything. Bad communication. 1 h delay. Then 3 hs in the plane. We ran out of gas. 2 more hours taxiing Never seen something similar. I really hope my mileage refund."
Pros: "Made it home."
Cons: "delays."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Was missed due to delayed flight"
Pros: "Arrived early."
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "no inflight entertainment no outlets"
Pros: "Awesome roomy seat right behind business class. Could not have asked for better! And it was a gorgeous new aircraft."
Pros: "I love your entertainment selection. also the comfort of seat and it's on time."
Pros: "The seats actually had individual screens, which was a very nice surprise. There’s a decent movie collection. alao the flight attendants were very nice and friendly."
Cons: "The tv show selection is quite poor. Also, like the previous flight, my husband and I weren’t seated together (not even in the same row) and when I tried to change it online, the entire flight showed as booked. However once on board there were clearly a number of empty seats."
Pros: "I really enjoyed the entertainment available."
Cons: "A 6 hour flight in which we were not offered food. In addition, when it was time for baggage claim, I noticed that my luggage had been damaged. One of the wheels was broken off. I put in a claim and have yet to hear back."

Cons: "The entertainment system failed again."
Pros: "Sightsee"
Cons: "Delayed"
Pros: "Quick and did good job"

Cons: "No personal TV for entertainment"
Pros: "Nice new seats."
Cons: "The new seats are meant for "people shorter than 6 feet tall" as the flight attendant said to me. Is the airline industry deliberately discriminating against 6'6" people? 15% of the people you seat based on population are over 6'. I'm sick of paying more money for my long legs."
Pros: "The boarding was done well"
Cons: "This was a 6 hour flight so American could at least have offered a better choice of in flight food purchases"
Pros: "Quick boarding, near empty flight."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Landed early"
Cons: "The seats were not as good as the ones on my BA flight to Heathrow and then Rome. Also, cross country flight but no in flight entertainment. Arrived early in PHL and American would not let me move up to an earlier PHL-SFO flight since it was a code share booked with BA. Should not be my fault as when booking it indicated all four of my flights were with BA. Once booked it indicated the return flights were code share with AA. American should have allowed me on the earlier flight. That would have opened a seat on the scheduled flight which had people waiting on standby."
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "No entertainment."
Pros: "Loved the entertainment features. Great movie selection!"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "extra leg room but I had to pay for it"

Cons: "No entertainment options"
Pros: "See above"
Cons: "See above"

Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The flight crew was great and it was a very smooth landing."
Cons: "Had to pay extra for seats so we could sit together, near the front of the plane (not really, and no bathroom nearby, very small seats with zero legroom). we were delayed twice (40m then 1h10m) then told to go to a different terminal because now our flight WAS leaving on time! so we hauled over there only to be delayed again several times. we know it was a weather thing, but just wish there was more accurate info about when we would actually take off. seats on outgoing flight from SFO to CLT were GREAT, very roomy, comfortable. Coming back- not so much."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Before I booked the flight I noticed it was only on time 53% of the time. True to that number we were delayed almost an hour before takeoff. Why schedule fights so close if almost half the time it's delayed? Something needs to change."
Pros: "Good free entertainment. Thanks."
Cons: "No good free snacks. Only free drinks."
Pros: "Entertainment"
Cons: "Same as above"
Pros: "Nothing absolute nightmare .. no water .. are you serious"
Pros: "Flight was on time, seats were comfortable."
Pros: "The flight was >1 hour late, which the pilot told us was due to the LAX controllers changing the landing patterns due to weather. So this really wasn't anyone's fault. But there was a large difference in comfort between this flight and the JAL flight from Tokyo. Seats were smaller, and my wife and I couldn't get seats together."
Pros: "Old plane"
Cons: "Sits were not comfortable."
Cons: "My flight was delayed for 3 hours and they where rude about my flight being delayed"
Pros: "The actual flight was fine."

Pros: "tv!"
Cons: "babies crying"
Cons: "Food was expensive and not well put together."
Cons: "More water, drinks. The food was absolutely horrible."
Cons: "The flight was delayed over an hour. Because of that, I missed my appointment."
Pros: "The attendant at the desk was very accommodating towards my needs."
Pros: "Never made it."
Cons: "I eventually got to San Francisco. I missed my flight to Lihue and had to stay in the airport all night."
Pros: "We paid for extra leg room but did not receive it. Our complaint to the staff was dismissed without a care. We will be taking our business to Alaska Airlines in the future."
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "Uncomfortable"
Cons: "A few more inches of seating"
Pros: "Good crew, good and safe flight. Thank you!"
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Seats were very comfortable in first class. Very happy with that experience for short haul flight. Enjoyed the service. Flight attendant checked on me multiple times and offered beverages."
Cons: "Snack/food choices."
Pros: "Safety of the flight, the route"
Cons: "The remote for the AV was so torn. I coukdnt even use it"
Pros: "Safe flight. Also, I was offered a different flight from Boise, ID, in order to make my connection in San Francisco. Thank you!"
Cons: "NA"
Cons: "Legroom, bin space, food"
Cons: "Cattle flight. Not enough space in economy for a person 6.3'."
Pros: "No entertainment. Not working No internet. Crewfelt like they were forced to be “nice”."
Pros: "On time, flight attends are superb"
Cons: "Cramped seats due to greedy corporation trying to appease the share holders"
Pros: "the entertainment program was good, and the plane in good shape"
Cons: "food was terrible"
Pros: "Da food, seat"
Cons: "Da Music"
Pros: "Quick and easy flight- not much to say, which is always good news while flying."
Cons: "Small seats."
Pros: "Nice crew. Free tv for delay"
Cons: "Flight delayed and then boarded very suddenly"
Pros: "I enjoyed my interaction with the other passengers."
Cons: "Several delays compounded to make trip a lot longer and far less comfortable than it needed to be."
Cons: "That I could only have one carry on an my purse was considered two, really and it was a small purse."
Pros: "Fast and effective. On time and crew was nice and helpful."
Cons: "They passed out drinks late !! Too close to landing time ."
Pros: "On time, quick boarding, smooth flight"
Cons: "No issues"
Cons: "Crew was rude and seemed to be in a constant rush big lack of customer service"
Cons: "Now Sherry in any documentation I received did it say that my flight was operated by United airlines. I waited at ANA check in until within the 2 hour window and went around and asked someone at United who confirmed that they were partners with ANA."
Pros: "Ordered the Protein Box, it was ok.. crew members nice."
Cons: "The Smell on the flight was unacceptable, I was sitting about a couple rows across the middle bathroom, and it smelled horrible, I had never had an experience like this on any other flight, I fly United many times a year, and this had me really uncomfortable for almost 5 hours, since the flight was delayed almost 1.5 hours while we sat onboard the aircraft at the gate, that had me miss dinner plans too in San Francisco as well. I really hope they can fix that, For the good of the passengers, felt like I was going to be nauseous all the time, and I'm really not someone that complains or takes time to review badly."
Cons: "flight control forced us to miss my connection to Kansas City so had to spend $150 on a hotel in San Francisco and wait an entire day to get home."
Pros: "Good service"
Cons: "Crowded"
Pros: "Super friendly staff, everything was great."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Friendly staff Easy boarding"
Cons: "The flight had no snacks. The seats werent comfortable."
Cons: "Plane was supposed to depart at 5:30 did not depart until around 7:20!!! Had to sit on plane for almost 2 hrs!! We were NOT OFFERED anything to drink Not even water!! Jet Blue would NEVER be neglectful, they are very service oriented. Plane was full & 2 babies on board one was fussy crying at times. It was s nightmare!! I was exhausted from traveling to NYC & Philly! & the delay & lack of service was AWFUL!! Could not watch TV, bc It either connects to phone, I could not connect it or I think you had to pay! Unheard of!!!I love to watch CNN, MSNBC & Fox it makes the time fly!! Hopefully will Never have to fly United Again"
Pros: "Flight attendants, entertainment. Thomas from United rocks"
Cons: "Nothing. All was good"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Will NEVER fly United again. Going home to advise EVERYONE I know not to fly United. They straight suck. Starving people on long flights with hot food for a third of the plane?!?!?! Then telling me I'm wrong for expecting a meal on an almost 7 hour flight?!?!?! &, even better, the reason my son & I starved all morning, day , & evening because EVERY single flight (all 3) were late, one so much so that we almost missed the connecting flight. Wow, is all I can say. After I still have United a chance after assaulting that poor man. Beyond highly disappointed."
Cons: "The Overnight flight I had was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Too uncomfortable to even sleep at all. The seating is so tight, I could barely move my legs when the seat in front of me was reclined (and I am tiny!) I landed after my connecting flight was already boarded, causing an employee from the airline to announce my name over the intercom on the plane and tell the passengers to "clear a lane for me." I ran with my suitcase over my head, bumping into people and making it to my next gate...where I was told there was ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM for my carry on...which was also, very tiny. I specifically did not want to check my bag because I needed to immediately hop off the plane to make it to work on time. Another customer was VERY upset about having to check his bag and was pulled aside. I finally was told I needed to check my bag at the gate to get on. So i did. As I entered the plane, about half of it was COMPLETELY empty with PLENTY of room. I was floored. About 10 minutes later, the very angry man happily entered with his carry on and stored it easily in the overhead bin. My frustration was at a peak. But I said nothing. When I arrived to Newark, I rushed to baggage claim and guess what? After 30 minutes of waiting, my bag never showed up. I had to check in with information and finally found it. But this caused to me to be late for work. I have usually had a great experience with United. But this experience has changed my mind completely and am very upset."
Pros: "I liked how quick and easy the flight was; from boarding to exiting the plane in SFO."
Cons: "The size of the plane."
Pros: "Not much."
Cons: "Originally, there was an announcement that we would be delayed by 45 minutes because of "air traffic" issues in San Francisco, where we were landing. In spite of this, the captain decided to have passengers board the plane, and try to push our way up the line, so to speak. Well, once we were on the tarmac, the flight crew were told that the plane could not take off, and that we needed to wait there for 45 minutes, without moving, in our seats, with nothing to do. Even though it would still not have been ideal to wait 45 minutes at the gate, at least we could have walked around and could have entertained ourselves."
Cons: "The day we were to return to San Francisco United cancelled our flight making us scramble to get another flight. Thank goodness for Alaska. They got us a return flight and went to Seattle instead of San Fransico. United and San Francisco is a joke. Never again."
Cons: "Flight got cancelled cause of issues with plane. Took over 5 hours in line to get to the counter to talk to someone. There were only 2 counter people for first 3 hours. Once at counter ther had to put us on flight for next day. (Just informed 5 min ago that flight has been delayed another day cause of plane issues.) they couldn't get us to sit together which I understand but also put me in a middle seat which I'm clostraphobic so that sucks. Told me that I can book a hotel to stay at and they would reimburse me.... eventually. Fought over that for an hour and they finally agreed to pay for Hotel. Overall the trip was great but the departure from Kauai has been real bad. Still waiting to leave the island."
Pros: "Crew was attentive."
Cons: "From Gregory at the check in being rude and anything but welcoming, to seats in first class needing replaced, this was anything BUT a first class trip. This was my second time giving United a chance as I normally fly Delta. I don't think I'll make that mistake again. I understand a late night flight doesn't have a meal service, but snacks of chips and bananas is not my idea of how you should serve Firat Class passengers. I would have a hard time recommending anyone choose United as their airline. Time for an upgrade of not just the seats, but overall customer service."
Pros: "What did I like like that the pilot let us know what was going on on every moment and the stewardess was very friendly"
Cons: "Seats very uncomfortable last flight 30 minute flight took an hour if not more and not knowing what gate my next flight is until I get there"
Pros: "arrived on time, newer aircraft"
Pros: "Great flight for the price"
Pros: "The seats were uncomfortable. The staff was cold. The food was horrible, I wasn't even able to eat some of it. The chicken was full of bones and grissle. The rest just tasted bad. Most of their planes did not have screens in the back of the seats. Instead they wanted you to watch on your personal device via their app which worked sub par. The baggage on the return flight was delayed and I almost missed my next flight even though I had a 2 hour 40 min layover. Thankfully that flight was delayed 1 hour and a half. Next time I will stick with airlines I know better. Delta, Emirates, and Qatar all offer superior service and upscale aircraft. The 2k spent was not worth what I received."
Pros: "Anytime things are new, and the basic needs are met for service, I think people will be happy. But! Timing was estimate for an 8:56 arrival and we landed at 8:30, so great timing too."
Cons: "Power outlets worn out and won't hold a plug so they are unusable"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seats"
Pros: "The crew was friendly"
Cons: "The a/c on the plain was not very cold and it needs to blow more air"
Pros: "I loved how helpful and kind the staff was. There was an issue with seating and they sorted it out in a quick and professional manner."
Cons: "The seats were uncomfortable when sitting for long periods and the seatbelts could have been a little bigger."
Pros: "Flight Attendants were nice."
Cons: "The flight was expensive and they wouldn't let us or anyone place carry ons in the over head bin. It was an expensive ticket and didn't include checked bags ($25 more). Carry-ons wound up being "stowed". It would have been nice to know before I bought the tickets that I needed a smaller carry on."
Cons: "Purchased tickets 4 months before this flight for a departure time of 6:05pm. Tried to check in and check baggage at 9:30am but was turned away saying I could only check in 3 hrs prior to my flight. Came back at 3:00pm to check-in and they could not find my information. An hour later they find out that they cancelled the flight and moved my departure time to 8:25am for that day. They say they emailed 3 times in May but I never got it (I'm a bit crazy about my email staying clean) so they say it might have went in to my spam folder due to they types of emails they send to customers. They only kept repeating that they notified me so there is nothing they could do. I ended up going to Air Canada to get a flight to PHX the next day. No apology, no help, no hotel for the night...Terrible experience by United. They gave me a customer relations group contact information to follow up with for complaint but since they sent me the 3 emails in May about the change, they have no liability to fix the situation."
