Staff especially Alan Hernandez was a great help with arrangements for my partner and me sit together. This made the trip do much more enjoyable. Thanks so much.

The bad thing is they didnt send me the deatils about how much alowed bagage ehight 1 carryon or cheacking bag Also they just send in spanishlanfuage i couldnt understand emails

The smart/express line to check in was a mess, employees not doing the process smooth and quick, using their mobile phones, talking to their coworkers

The priority seat are great especially the first row! Crew was very cordial and helpful, airplane efficient, the departure and arrival was on time.

an absolute joke. couldn’t even board because they sold our tickets out from underneath us. we had tickets in hand with assigned seats and they still denied boarding at the gate. i’m sure you guys won’t follow up or do anything so merry christmas.

Flight was on time Flight attendants should be kind and empathetic

I liked: - Great service attitude from the crew To be improved: - Senior passengers must be included on Group 1 with priority to board the plain. - Service attitude from ground employees

The air conditioner was poor and we were delayed 1 hour for no apparent reasons and no information provided

Really need our opinion? I have always same bad experience with you about the hours waiting until my airplane is ready. The excuse is always the transit! You Need immigrate to the new Airport AIFA.

Great flight with a great crew. So cheap and yet so wonderfully fulfilling. Wish other airlines were this comfortable and well run.
