Very good seat and service. No complaints about the food. Take off delayed due to airport traffic

Very good seat and service. No complaints about the food. Take off delayed due to airport traffic

It is usually very pleasant. Good service for the price, international flights are even better

Flight attendant was very poor in taking care or showing attention. I slept up front for a few and missed the snacks. She saw me many times, went by me many times and never once asked if I needed anything. The whole 2 hours flight. And this is to a Diamond member in first.

I thought the service was very nice and pleasant. There were no hiccups and no issues so overall a good experience.

It was a pleasant surprise to have complimentary Wi-Fi on the flight

Flight was delayed, we could have been notified earlier and in a consistent manner. App was not refreshing for another passenger to get the latest flight status. We could have stayed and waited at the hotel instead of waiting at the airport had we known the flight was going to delayed for more than 5 hours. The toilet is too tight, and needs to be cleaned more frequently (every hour). The entertainment screen froze, the touch screen not responding to touch. We were upgraded to comfort, it is more comfortable than regular economy seats.

The baggage belt was not updated on the Delta App and was displayed on the wrong belt board. Was not expecting this to happen.

The plan was delayed and left DC 90 minutes late. However, it showed a 20 minute delay on the delta app, then a 12 min delay. It turned out to be an hour delay. I found out where the plane was with flightaware. Stop keeping customers in the dark about what is going on.

Pilots lied about waiting on “paperwork”. Sat in the plane for over an hour, waiting on some papers to be printed according to the pilot and then all of a sudden he says good news maintenance is finally on their way. Maybe they can fix it before we get our paperwork. Ended up missing my connection in LaGuardia and as a result, had a fly home to Lexington instead of the Louisville airport. Then paid $100 to uber to Louisville since it was midnight by the time I got in. I wish they would just be transparent with passengers sometimes and not try to beat around the bush on why things are delayed.

One of the flight attendants was a little cranky. I appreciated the free wifi and plug to charge my laptop

I would have preferred a flight voucher and to hop on a different flight. Delayed over 6 hours.

Boarding was great, and the crew were very friendly. The seats must have been a bit on the older side and you could feel some of the seat components through the padding. Also, the plugs did not work on the row's entertainment screen or charging ports. Checked bag was transferred for connecting flight, and we appreciated how early we had the connecting gate information.

It was Swiss. Our kosher meals were literally frozen solid and therefore inedible, and the crew didnt care.

Food was great. Staff was phenomenal. Seats were a bit hard and could use a lot more entertainment options as far as movies to choose from. WiFi was good. Overall great trip.

The flight was delayed, they didn’t even have water for the toilets or for drinks

It’s always a great time flying with united airlines.

Very old flight - time to retire it for newer airplanes

2+ hours delayed Outlet in row 12 did not work Tv monitors did not work Lights kept off the entire flight for at 5pm-7pm flight

Seated dude next to me even though lots of empty rows. But main thing was we sat on the tarmac after landing for 30 minutes because of, in the words of the dude who sat next to me, “operational incompetence”. We got changing directions about where to pick up gate checked bags. Pilot and flight attendant were awesome though.

They brought an empty plane to the gate. Then a flight delay was announced for maintenance and waiting on a part. I was then put on a flight to San Francisco instead with a connecting flight to my final destination. Arrived at my final destination 2 hours late.

Because I bought my ticket from Underpricer, I could not check in online. I could only check in at the airport and that was deeply frustrating because I had to arrive very early. The flight also departed 45 min late and passengers were given no explanations about why we were delayed. I was worried I would miss my connecting flight. Once on board, however, the flight was fine.

Terrible boarding and first class experience. Nice staff but overall disorganized, dirty plane.

The flight was delayed significantly and we sat on runway after landing for awhile. Best thing was the flight attendant, Jenny, in first class, who was very professional and attentive. She was excellent - the rest of the flight was not.

Early departure meant on time arrival. Only real problem was free internet had issues, although chatting with the internet help desk (you can do this via aainflight.com) got the issue resolved.

The staff and service on American Airlines were truly outstanding. I had requested wheelchair assistance for my mother due to her knee issues, and the team went above and beyond every step of the way—from boarding in Boston to our arrival in Chicago. Their care, professionalism, and attentiveness made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I’m very grateful for the support they provided.

Found that the plane used for this short flight is smaller and therefore the seats are really squeezed tight.

Tv screens and movie selection v good. Friendly staff. They were really worried about max capacity and room for carryons. That is never fun but i had no problem finding space when I boarded.

Great experience. Good dinner and service. FA's were very nice and attentive.

Jill was the flight attendant in first class she was fabulous!! Best flight attendant I have had in years.!! And I fly every other week. Other can learn from her!!

The business steward was absolutely amazing! Smiles and kindness! Wish all AA flights are like this one!

Horrible - for the first time in my life i was denied boarding an international flight because the name used on my ticket - Josh - was not exactly the same as my passport - Joshua. At no time during ticketing, online check-in, or at the airport flying from Boston to NY was i notified of a problem. It was only at boarding from NY to Costa Rica I was informed of the problem and by then it was too late. After missing the flight I was told by airport Jet Blue staff, including a supervisor, that it was my problem and they could not assist because i bought "the cheapest fare". i was hung up on twice by JetBlue customer service, including once by a supervisor. I blame Kayak and your awful partner ChatDeal for even allowing me to purchase an international ticket without verifying this - you effectively sold me a ticket i could not use. Shame on you and shame on ChatDeal for doing nothing to help me resolve the situation. What a scam.

The flight kept getting delayed, but the ground crew did not communicate well to the passengers in the terminal. First, we were told that it was an engine issue. That was understandable. We asked, after the third delay, if it would be canceled; they reassured us that that would not happen because a new plane was on its way from Washington DC. Four hours later, that is exactly what happened. No announcement was made only people who had the JetBlue app learned of the cancellation. They rebooked us on a flight that would get into our destination 36 hours after our original time I had to spend an exorbitant amount of money to book an additional flight with a different airline, the following morning in order to make it to my conference in time. Not to mention the fact that by the time I discovered the cancellation on the departures board, it was too late for me to receive a refund on my lodging in the destination city for that night. Because I had booked with KAYAK, I did not receive any JetBlue email with rebooking information. This is what the information information desk kept telling everyone who inquired about a rebooking. This was my first time flying with JetBlue. Needless to say, after extremely poor communication andover $1000 of additional expense later, I will not be flying with them again.

We were several hours delayed due to confusion during boarding. Evidently the crew could not match the manifest with the boarded customers. After significant time trying to find individuals on board, a crew member walked through the entire plane re-scanning each of our boarding passes. Then we had to wait for a new slot to depart, and when we landed, our gate was not ready. It was a complete goat rodeo from start to finish.

Horrible. Flight was cancelled, jet blue app not working to rebook, no phone number available to call Jet Blue, 400 ish people in line for the help desk, stuck in Boston for 2 more days had to book new flight with a different airline and still not sure if I will be able to get any refund.

Flight was delayed many times. The crew was friendly but you eleven had to buy headphones to access the movies in the plane. $8 is not a lot for one person but it is when you travel with all your family.

The food took two hours to be delivered to my seat, when I'm on an overnight flight I want to sleep asap after take off

Flight left 2 hours late with no explanation as to the delay

I like everything. Blythe at DCA is the absolute best!

Whole experience was poor. Delayed 2 hours. Lied about the delays. Was all jet blues fault and tried to blame on air traffic control. Sent out other let trips and wouldn't allow people to switch aircraft.

My bag was not loaded on my flight. it was not communicated to me until i was waiting for my bag at my destination. there was no confirmation of when my bag was arriving and no way to track it.

We waited at BOS at the gate for an hour and couldn’t get a drink or anything. Once in the air the service, food and ride was excellent.

I travelled in business class and was disappointed by lack of service, curt and borderline rude time of the crew and to top it off, all of my luggage was delayed. It was like pulling teeth to even report the missing luggage and recover it the next day from the airport.

The seating has become ridiculous… like a contest to see how narrow and short they can be made- forcing anyone over 5’1 to pay more to not be twisting oneself into a pretzel. Really insane- would have thought BA was better than this. Frankly- it cancels out a lot of the positive aspects.

Online check-in 24 hours in advance something seems not so easy to check in to pick seats and to print a boarding pass

My experience with British Airways is excellent, thanks for all 🫶🏻✈️

They took my carry on and checked it in. Staff in general at Heathrow are not friendly or helpful

5 days later I have not yet received my luggage so terrible and unacceptable

It would be great to have at least two choices for a food, instead of just plain pasta 😏

Lost luggage l try contact the airline no answer FILE REFERENCE# CHQBA10196/14 SEP24/ 1043 YEE JAMES FLIGHT/DATE - BA202/13SEP/BA666/14SEP NUMBER OF BAG - 1 TICKET NUMBER- BA219096982 COLOR/ TYPE - BLACK DUFFEL/ SPORT BAG TAG NUMBER - BA401690/

Didn’t even get on the flight!! BA had a system crash and knocked many peoples boarding passes back for the connecting flight which we all would have made but ended up missing due to being refused past the barrier. There was one member of staff on and when he shift swapped the new staff member called us liars and that we were going to be too late for our flight hence the knock back which was false. I was an hour and ten minutes early for my connection flight at the time of scanning the boarding pass. Waited for three hours and ended up having to book a train home myself which was 4 hours long! Staff were useless and entire experience was an inconvenience. I had been travelling for three months and of course it was when I was back in my home country that I had the first muck up! Will not be touching BA to fly again
