Pros: "The flight was comfortable and quick. The staff was very friendly and engaging. We landed about 15 minutes early which is always appreciated!"
Cons: "Although Ontario only has a few gates for Alaska I still found it strange that they didn't post which gate we would be boarding at until 5 minutes past the scheduled boarding time. Not a big deal but for someone who's not familiar with the airport it could be confusing."

Pros: "Delayed for one day 3 hours waiting time on the phone to reschedule the ticket"
Pros: "The short flight was made especially nice with one flight attendant offering to give a free drink for showing Seattle seahawk pride! Either wearing a jersey or showing a picture with seahawk pride. Very friendly and fun! The views were very beautiful also! Love Alaska airlines and LOVE the seahawks!!"
Cons: "The flight was canceled but I received NO notification WHATSOEVER and was not aware until I got to the airport- which was a 2 hour drive away."
Pros: "The flight home from Ontario CA was better than the flight there. The seating was pretty cramped . We got pretzels which was great. Service at this airport was extremely kind and cheerful. It made traveling with a disabled mother much less stressful. Thank you!!"
Cons: "Paying to check our bags when others got theirs checked for free by taking them to the gate wasn't fair. Having my disabled mother have to walk from the ticket counter to some wheelchair waiting area rather than bringing the chair to her started it trip off with stress we didn't need. I even asked if they could bring it to her and they said just go over to the station and wait."
Pros: "Prompt, fast, efficient, and courteous."
Pros: "Nothing g"
Cons: "Plane was delayed....which is fine... but when we finally landed, we parked on the tarmac in the rain after 1230am . Had to walk to the airport in the rain and wind. Older people were having trouble walking the distance, I actually went ahead to get a wheelchair for an older lady that I didn't know because there was no one on the tarmac to assist. Very horrible experience and I fly Alaska often. Never have I ever exited the plane on the tarmac in pdx and when I complained to an Alaska worker, she told me it was normal. I fly to PDX once a month and have never exited directly on the tarmac. I will definitely look for any other airline to fly instead of Alaska from now on. I will even fly spirit airlines....that is how much I will never fly Alaska again."

Pros: "Efficient"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The crew was very efficient. There was a medical emergency on board, and they dealt with it very professionally and effectively."

Cons: "Great flight"
Pros: "Pleasant crew"
Pros: "Everyone was friendly and kind. The flight was on-time."
Cons: "Nothing to complain about."
Cons: "I didn’t get to pick my seating when I booked the flight (probably because the flight is so close to Christmas) me and my friend were put in middle seats (him in the row behind me) it was very hard to sleep that way. It would’ve been nice to be put together seeing as I bought the tickets pretty far in advanced, or at least have gotten better seats."
Cons: "No explanation given for delay."
Pros: "Ease of boarding. Comfortable seating"
Cons: "Entertainment system kept shutting down and because the controls were under my elbow it was impossible to not keep hitting it causing the channels to change."

Pros: "Comp snacks and sodas, legroom, tvs, hot towelettes in coach."

Cons: "Made it to my destination 2 hours later."
Pros: "Comfortable and cheap."
Cons: "N/A"
Cons: "Had to pick up gate-checked bag at carousel. But it arrived quickly."
Pros: "The overnite flight"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Price very high. It cost over $800 to get a direct flight. Robbery. That is for a Middle Seat! It was another $95 for a decent seat. These companies are thieves. Outrageous!"
Cons: "We were delayed for over two hours."
Pros: "Amazed with the attentiveness and comfort on the plane. The snacks were great had a few options that other airlines dont."
Cons: "Nothing! Completely satisfied with my flight."
Cons: "Luggage claim took an hour to arrive"

Pros: "more leg room, real snacks"
Cons: "horrible sound quality on the in flight movies/TV"
Cons: "I was cold"
Pros: "comfortable"
Cons: "the touch tv screens did not work . they were hard to control and scroll. the controls are located on the worse place(the arm rest) my neighbor kept changing my channels and volume every time they put their arm on the arm rest."
Pros: "The flight was very smooth and had little turbulence."
Pros: "Almost everything"
Cons: "No priority boarding for credit card holders"
Pros: "Free in-flight WiFi service for all travelers on the plane. Many onboard entertainment choices available using individual LCD screen display. Many selections of in-flight meals and beverages available for purchase during your flight. Online seat selection and online check-in were fast and efficient. Additional perks for travelers available online."
Cons: "There was no food included in my flight."
Cons: "1/2 hr late"
Pros: "Everything was terrific...on time and a very smooth experience including the flight! Thank you!"
Pros: "The fact that I arrived at my destination. Leg room seemed above average."
Cons: "The plane was delayed for 40 minutes for no stated reason. The plane was antiquated with broken screen controls on the arm rest and tiny, low-quality screens. My buttons didn't work so I couldn't even turn the screen off for the duration of the flight let alone gain access to entertainment. I had to use my night mask so that I atleast didn't have to stare at Amazon advertisements for 5 hours straight on a broken screen. This was not a good introduction to JetBlue, and I would likely not fly them again. Not competitive to the quality or amenities of a major carrier. I wish I had read reviews of this company because delays and non-working equipment seem the norm for JetBlue."
Pros: "More room. Genuinely nice steward staff"
Cons: "Have to pay for a blanket. Snacks sold in packs rather than individual things."
Pros: "Friendly polite crew, good takeoff and landing, little turbulence. Our flight was delayed, but only by half an hour."
Cons: "Having to pay twice because I'm a person of size and hang only little over when most of the back of the plane was empty. I can see having to pay for the seat to reserve it, and having to pay if I'm using 2 seats and the plane is full otherwise, but if the flight isn't full, I should be able to get a refund for one of the seats. It's discrimination and it's not okay. Or, you know, have seats that fit all your customers. Also the SiriusXM sound was of extremely poor quality."
Pros: "We were running a bit late for our flight, so the employee at the check-in counter made sure we checked in as soon as possible! He even checked in an extra bag free of charge, so we could go trough security faster! Greatly appreciated!"
Cons: "My in-flight entertainment system didn't work. Even though they offered me a voucher for the troubles, it made my flight a bit boring."
Pros: "TV sets JetBlue apart - except when it doesn't work. Snack choices are bad."
Cons: "No TV; plane was not clean - smelled like the toilet overflowed. And this was the first flight of the day - the plane was parked at the gate for over an hour prior to boarding."
Pros: "We arrived safely!"
Cons: "Seems like no AC. Small screens and super poor quality. Disappointing."

Pros: "I have used Delta long time. Used to be really bad. Today. Good good."
Cons: "Free beer"

Cons: "We weren't alerted there was a chance of delays. Over two hours late."
Cons: "5 hours delay. Most of that time we were on the runway. We even had to deplane and board again. We were given all kind of excuses till the pilot himself said that this is unheard off !!"
Pros: "The crew was amazing"
Cons: "Ran over 2 hours late with no explanation"
Pros: "The cAbin attendant was really good"
Cons: "No problems at all!"
Cons: "The Male flight attendant was rather rude"
Pros: "Friendly staff. Entertainment selection is impressive (though I didn't use it). Drinks and snacks are provided."
Cons: "Boarding process was time consuming due to poor organization from Delta. Unloading process takes forever for the same reason. Despite booking at the same time my fiancee and I didn't get seated next to one another."
Pros: "The flight was great from beginning to end. I have no complaints."
Pros: "Check in process & text updates were awesome!"
Cons: "My flight to PDX was quite bumpy so food and beverage service were impacted, which I totally understand. However, the fact that I was not served at all, does not sit well with me! They had to stop service with only a few rows left to go due to turbulence but rather it just being a delay in service, the flight attendants never came back to check on the customers they hadn’t served even when the seat belt lights turned off. I really enjoy flying Delta but not this time!"
Cons: "Poor service"
Pros: "Quickly boarded and took off as well. It was a really smooth flight!"
Pros: "Love the 757 entertainment system"
Cons: "snack mix is not great delayed takeoff"
Cons: "mi luggage has not arraive! im in the city with out stuff and it will delay my trip schedule"

Pros: "The plane was really nice. It was awesome being able to view movies on the flight."
Pros: "Crew was lovely"
Cons: "CRJ-700 is too small. Only one bathroom & it was broken. Hour late to depart & no explanation given. Never turned off the seatbelt sign & we ended up on the plan for approx 2.5hrs for our 1hr flight."
Pros: "Boarding was delayed, but flight crew & desk staff moved us quickly through & off we went. It was efficient & well managed."
Cons: "A bit cramped on board. Thinking of the discount carriers while smooshed in with my aisle mates."
Pros: "The boarding was great.as well as the crew."
Cons: "The seats to small and the food was not that good."
Pros: "Short trip"
Cons: "Boarding process. Paying to check bag when people with roll-on bags were allowed to check them at the gate for free."
Pros: "See above..."
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "All the staff are sincere in serving. It must be a direct result of the great management at the top. If the employees were unhappy and rude that also would be a direct reflection of the management. I use the same flight often and let the staff know I appreciate them."
Cons: "Snacks are small, but delicious cookies."
Pros: "Boarding was easy, flights on time Wi-Fi available (although I didn't use it)"
Cons: "Seats rather crowded in coach, small plane so it was also a bit noisy"
Cons: "The seats are very small even for a petite person."
Pros: "Service was excellent in spite of the terrible weather conditions. Flight attendants were very friendly."
Pros: "We upgraded to Delta Comfort, since the flight was a bit longer. I'm glad we did; it made a great deal of difference to have the extra space. The in-flight entertainment (individual displays on the backs of each seat) was excellent, the crew was excellent, and the flight was extremely smooth."
Cons: "11 hour overnight delay. Timed out crew. We were given a pillow and blanket to spend the night on the floor in the airport. We we given drinks and a snack box."
Cons: "No communication between different parts of the airport; early arrival, over 2 hours getting through baggage claim; good luck rechecking your bag; almost missed flight with a 2 1/2 hour layover. Workers on the ground don't care, or either don't know what's next on the transit through the airport."
Pros: "Crew was very professional and friendly."
Cons: "Seats too close together."
Cons: "The boarding process was chaotic, half the time the staff did not use the PA system. They were not clear on who needed to do a passport check. Started to read names off then just gave up and said "a lot of you""
Pros: "When I went into customer service and explained that I lost my flight because of bean at the immigration for almost 2hrs and the woman she say u going on the next flight, one hr later I was heading to my destination Richmond."
Pros: "I liked the fact that they have a train to take you from one concourse to another!"
Cons: "Very busy airport! Boarding was delayed and flight was overbooked. I wasn't too happy but it could've been worse."
Pros: "It only took them 10 minutes to turn things around to make up time for the delay."
Cons: "The seat pockets were not cleaned."
Cons: "TSA in Atlanta was a nightmare. Really just a little kindness would go a long way."
Pros: "Got to Richmond on time."
Cons: "Had the same problems with loading. Loaded from the front, not enough room for carry on, slow us down causing us to take off late. Made up for lost time though."
Pros: "stewardess was exceptionally pleasant."
Pros: "Flight was cancelled and could not be rescheduled until the 17th causing me to loose 10 days of pay at work costing me 4700usd."
Pros: "They did give us the Dane snacks the first class passengers got."
Cons: "Zero additional leg room in this supposed comfort seat. The seat was very narrow and there was absolutely no additional leg room on the flight. I'm tall, so that's what I pay for when I book these flights and none was provided."
Pros: "The entertainment screen was good. The food was acceptable. The crew was very nice and friendly."
Cons: "The seating. Isn't that always the case. Buy a standard seat and be squished like you don't matter - just an afterthought - and if you wanted better, spend another $100 bucks or so. Add to that insult the fact that my wife and I couldn't even sit together because we couldn't choose seats until we arrived at the airport. Really."
Pros: "Una hora de retraso"
Cons: "Una hora de retraso"
Pros: "Flight attendants were lovely"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "I made it safely to my destination."
Cons: "Accommodation for my flight being over two hours late."
Pros: "Friendly people on the sun country flights. Pilot give info on land Mark's as we flew"
Cons: "Airport staff ran into my husband with a wheel chair as we were in line to go through scanner then yelled to get the line moving. Not sure where she wanted us to go. He has a lovely bruise today on the back of his leg. Talk about someone having a bad day"
Cons: "Cramped seating, limited overhead bin space, no in-flight entertainment, mediocre flight attendants. Spend the extra money and fly Delta."
Pros: "We were scheduled to leave at 9:55 am and delayed until 6:30 with zero compensation and little communication."
Cons: "Zero compensation and zero communication terrible customer service"
Pros: "Having a direct flight was good. Staff were excellent"
Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable. I gave them my global entry number at check-in but they said they often didn’t have access to TSA pre-check. Had never experienced this with an airline"
Pros: "I didn’t like how I was treated at all."
Cons: "seeing the lack of customer service when people pay for they flight."

Pros: "Everything was nice and clean"
Pros: "safe & on time"
Cons: "no food & no plain tomato juice which I prefer instead of the spicy bloody mary"
Pros: "Wouldn’t print me a boarding pass 45 min before boarding. I had to rebook on delta for the next day. There was no security line. I would have made this flight."
Cons: "It took 45 min for our bags to come out"
Pros: "Quality service, good technology, soothing environment"
Cons: "Felt too much urgency in my tip"
Cons: "I was traveling with a lap infant and the flight was more than half empty. The middle seat was empty next to me but the gate agents still would not allow me to bring my FAA approved carseat on board because I had not purchased a seat. Carseats make life so much easier for parents traveling with infants. Additionally it is safer for the infant. Finally, its better for fellow passengers because infants in their carseat can be better pacified while flying. Many other airlines allow carseats carried on when their flights aren't full (for free) and this is why I won't be flying Sun Country again."
Pros: "Free beverage"
Cons: "No TV, small leg room"
Pros: "The pilot was great at pointing out landmarks made the flight very enjoyable"
Cons: "I was placed on standby and almost got bumped from the flight because too many tickets were sold."
Pros: "Everything was wonderful. The flight was uneventful which is exactly what you want."
Pros: "Brand new seats"
Cons: "Check in desk was farthest possible desk in airport"
Cons: "Our flight was delayed about an hour and 25 min. Also my tray was broke. Sun country should think about adding wifi like delta No snacks provided."
Cons: "No Wifi"
Pros: "I like that first class was a very affordable upgrade. It was definitely worth it. I have bad knees so the extra room was needed otherwise I cannot bare the pain I get from not being able to move my legs. The crew was very pleasant and attentive. Overall, I really enjoyed the flight."
Cons: "Even though I was in first class, there wasn't as much leg room where I was seated on my return flight. I was sitting in the front row, and the wall in front of me was quite close. And I was a little surprised that there was no wifi option to purchase during flight. This would have been helpful to allow me to continue to work during that time."
Pros: "Nice EZ flight."
Pros: "They eventually got me home. No snack, no fluff, but they did get me home."
Pros: "Employees were courteous."
Cons: "Difficult to book seats because computer was malfunctioning; flight was one hour late, so we arrived at about midnight. Baggage was late coming off plane."
Cons: "The ticketing agents don't show up until two hours before the flight, so you can't check luggage or go anywhere to get food before that. The area to wait only has chairs -- no outlets for plugging in devices or anything else. When the agents show up, there is a mad dash to get in line and the processing takes even longer. If they are going to leave the desk unmanned, there should be a number system."
Pros: "I enjoyed my flight. It was not a full flight. I had a row by myself and spent quiet time reading. The crew were friendly and rendered excellent service."
Cons: "I would like better food choices."
Pros: "VERY NICE LOVE THAT IT WAS A DIRECT FLIGHT."
Cons: "NO LEG ROOM.LOVE"
Pros: "Professional courteous."
Pros: "Crew is polite, boarding is prompt, seats are comfortable, better leg room, Cambria magazine was interesting, affordable"
Cons: "Please add wifi"
Pros: "Good fare, on time, courteous crew."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "The flight was delayed due to "paperwork not being properly filled out." No one from the flight crew could explain what was happening and this delay almost cost me to miss my next flight. Other than that the seats are small in the planes and seem to be out of the 1990s with no added perks. JetBlue rules."
Pros: "Convenience"
Cons: "No free food"
Pros: "Good timing of the flight both to and from San Diego. ."
Pros: "I liked the boarding process"
Cons: "Would be nice if they had wifi."
Pros: "Everything you would expect"

Pros: "Most things."
Cons: "No wifi."
Pros: "I was impressed with the low fare for my round trip to and from SanDiego from Washington DC."
Cons: "The service on my returning flight was horrible. I was forced to wait to use the bathroom because they closed down the bathroom in the front of the plane for 1st class only. Now normally I wouldn't be upset with that but after about an hour of waiting for the snack cart to go by ( i was in seat 5, the snack cart was probably near 20-21 in the back) I kindly asked the flight attendant if I would be able to use the front bathroom, she responded with " you're gonna have to hold it, the flight attendant in the front won't let you in that bathroom, as its ONLY for 1st class passengers. If that wasn't enough, I also had to suffer while my seat continued to be kicked for the entire flight (3hr30min) by the person behind me. I WILL NOT BE FLYING WITH THIS AIRLINE AGAIN. HORRIBLE SERVICE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE."
Pros: "Punctual flight; pleasant staff at check-in"
Cons: "No snacks. Inconscionably tortuous leg-room situation for anyone of normal stature."

Cons: "The on line aspect of check in, printing of boarding passes etc was nonexistent."
Pros: "Crew was friendly and helpful"
Cons: "$20.00 checked bag fee. Other people bringing all their luggage with them on the plane."
Pros: "We just loved taking Sun Country. The lines were shorter everything was very efficient and we got to and from San Diego on time. Who could ask for more?"
Pros: "Great staff - very positive and extremely helpful"
Cons: "Wifi would have been nice :) A small free snack would have been good too"
Pros: "Great experience. Can't wait to use sun country again"

Pros: "Comfortable"
Cons: "The flight was delayed for hours, and I am still trying to get to lax. All due to the pilots being too tired to fly, and due to maintenance. I would of appreciated checking into a hotel room a lot earlier than I did due to vague communication. I’m exhausted with only 2.5 hours of sleep."

Cons: "It would’ve been nice if we made it to fort Meyers!"
Pros: "Service and boarding was smooth and friendly."

Cons: "Took off 40 minutes late, rude attendants, very hot on plane, no apologies from staff for being late. Worst flight in a long time."
Cons: "I could not pre-check or request different seats on the CP website. I think that this was because of issues with the website, apparently due to IT system communication between American Airlines and Cathay Pacific.......on all six flights. On the transfer in San Francisco, Customs was closed when we arrived in San Francisco and we had to haul all of our baggage from one terminal to the other. There was no direction on how to handle this issue of Customs being closed while on the flight to San Francisco. I had to explain the issue of to the CP customer service crew in SF. The CP desk and they had never heard of it. American Airlines was equally poorly trained. I will also say that while at the CP customer service, there were three young adult males that we're not busy at the time and the watched us unload the baggage carts onto the scales and conveyor and then reloaded on to the carts to push to the AA terminal. We handled the bags two additional times because the CP staff did not know what to do and how to handle it. Other passengers were confused as well."

Cons: "You overbooked the flight"
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "My tickets ultimately were booked through Kayak/webjet. I will never book through webjet again. You can't directly speak with an agent. They never sent me my e-tickets. I couldn't download my tickets prior to arriving at the airport. It was super confusing because I couldn't figure out whether I was flying on British Airways or American Airlines. I didn't know what terminal to go to. I finally checked in with American even after they told me to go to British Airways. Next, American said that my booking was messed up such that they couldn't check my bag through. So at Chicago I had to exit the Secure area, pick up my bag from baggage check, check it back in and go back through security. I still didn't have my ticket for the chicago-barcelona leg of the trip. At American, they told be I had to exit the airport again to go to British Airways for the Chicago- Barcelona leg of the trip. Luckily, i asked another agent and she confirmed my flight was though American. It was the most confusing flight experience, I have ever had."
