My experience with Delta is always pleasant. My return flight #1426 from ATL to RIC was very delayed with departure and landing. It also took a substantial amount of time for baggage claim. It was already late at night, so the delays made for a very long day. I did not get home until after 12 midnight.

I had a great flight with delta. Plane was clean and the staff was nice, I would fly again with delta.

After flying with Qatar Airways and Kenya Airlines. Delta leaves a lot to be desired

A 6hr delay is going to put a damper on all reviews. It was almost impossible to get into the Delta club also. Zero conveyance. I could not use my status for anything. Makes me wonder why am I loyal to delta?

I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!

Great overall experience and use of the Delta One lounge was amazing!

I used by Skymiles to upgrade to First so that I could comfortably work using my laptop. But WiFi was intermittent and unavailable for long periods. I feel like I wasted 70,000 miles :(

Easiest airport experience ever in my life at MSP with Delta check-in and flight attendant gave us a bottle of champagne in celebration of our 10-year wedding anniversary, so overall amazing!

Great. Seamless. Check in agent at kiosk international was amazing and extremely helpful.

Delta planes have the WORST seat comfort of any plane in history. It's the opposite of ergonomic, in every sense. They also recline minimally, are covered in a vinyl and have no feet rests. Then the disembarking process is chaotic and time consuming (because of the way they load the plane and deal with luggage). Overall, somewhat frustrating but we arrived safely :)

Check in went smoothly. Flight attendant who was assigned my area barely paid any attention to me! She acted as though she was extremely busy and flustered. Maybe she was new?! I told her to change the language on my screen, she said she’d come back to help me but never did so I was able to solve the problem on my own. She came back and said she’d made adjustments on her end. Highly doubt it because I found the setting to change the language! Also, I noticed everyone was eating before we landed so I pushed my help button and she never came so I got up to find her to ask her if I can have breakfast. She said they are not serving breakfast but I can have a sandwich. Yes, that was her response as I saw everyone eating breakfast!!!

United staff were very communicative, the new starlink Wifi is amazing as I was able to work easily.

Starlink internet made the flight time shrink and I was able to work.

Tiny seat made for midgets. You can’t put a normal size human in such a tiny seat for 8 god damn hours! Hot plane, no air. Lost bags at Rome airport for 8 hours, lucky to have found them. Horrible flying experience, United Airlines should be embarrassed!

The issue is the flight is delayed, which causes me Missing the connecting flight by 3 mins. Remember the connecting flight is a US codeshare flight so UA should be able to inform the operating airline about the delay.

Excellent service in Polaris class IAD to ZRH. Arrived rested and well fed after the overnight flight.

My experience on this United Airlines flight was highly uncomfortable, primarily due to two issues: Cabin Temperature: The temperature on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was unacceptably high, feeling consistently around 80 degrees throughout the flight. This made sleeping impossible and significantly detracted from the experience. Seating Arrangement: Being stuck in a middle seat for a six-and-a-half-hour overnight flight compounded the discomfort. Moving forward, I will always purchase a seat assignment to avoid this situation.

Good movies, iffy pay WiFi, food ok- on time though and that was great!

I had very little time to change planes originally in Denver after my flight from Omaha. I had an hour and a half layover in Denver originally and my flight leaving Omaha was delayed an hour because they had to change a tire, which I can understand. When I reached Denver my other flight was late, fortunately, but I still had only 10 minutes to run about a mile through the airport to get to my flight. Again, fortunately, I am a healthy 71-year-old and was able to accomplish this feat. However, the stress was more than necessary to bear.

weather on landing! Almost missed next flight but fortunately it was late too.

The crew was great! The issue for me is the aircraft. The Airbus A32x is just not comfortable enough and the entertainment delivery via personal devices is problematic.

The crew was dis respectful even in business class. I will not recommend AA to anyone and will also fly only when there is no choice

Three aircraft in succession experienced maintenance issues, resulting in a six-hour delay. The original aircraft required replacement, and the substitute aircraft arrived more than two hours late. Passengers boarded that aircraft, only to be told later to deplane due to maintenance concerns. We then boarded a different aircraft that had arrived at the gate, only to be instructed to deplane once again because it, too, experienced maintenance issues. After hours of delays and two separate boarding and deplaning events, passengers were directed to a third aircraft departing from a different terminal and had to rush across the airport to make that flight. That was the only aircraft that ultimately departed without incident. Of course, passenger safety must come first, and I am grateful these issues were identified before takeoff. However, when three aircraft in succession require maintenance attention and passengers are repeatedly boarded before those issues are discovered, it raises legitimate concerns about American Airlines' preventive maintenance procedures and aircraft readiness checks. One aircraft with an unexpected issue can happen. Three aircraft in a row, combined with multiple boarding and deplaning events, suggests a pattern that warrants review. American Airlines needs to take a hard look at both its maintenance practices and its decision-making process for boarding passengers before determining that an aircraft is ready for service.

Overall, it was a good experience, although the boarding process was somewhat disorganized, with no clear signage or designated areas indicating where passengers in different boarding groups should line up. Additionally, the seats felt quite outdated and could benefit from modernization. While the cabin crew provided good service, the experience lacked the personalized attention I would have expected.

New internet speed is awesome! Great flight and staff. Also most efficient and fast baggage handling ever in Philly!

The wifi was broken. The temperature on the plane was quite warm, and my air vent didn't seem to blow anything but warm air. The flight attendants were nice.

The flight was delayed but we were given no updates. The time just kept changing in the board. We were delayed on the runway as well. Then, my bag was lost and still hasn't been returned.

Cancelled flight. Still waiting to get home for grand daughter’s graduation .

Typically flights with AA are good. The staff are pleasant, welcoming, and efficient.

A much better flight than our previous. The flight attendant took care of us and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything. Brought us drinks prior to the departure and then a couple more times. Totally makes the difference in how you travel when the crew is checking on their passengers. Great job on this leg of our trip.
