ScarlettFlew with Bahamasair-Aug 2026
Bring snack and treats for yourself and kiddos. Ensure you have ample time to get to terminal at least 2 hours to be safe
LarissaFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2026
It's a very small airline terminal and getting there early is imperative because it's very small not everybody gets to go into the boarding lounge at one time so you'll be spending a lot of time standing in the line. Get your coffee and something to eat before you go into the security line they do have snacks and drinks available to buy once you pass security but they're just shelf stable crackers and such.

Be patient island people are not in a hurry. Avoids hurricane season be sure your luggage is not overweight
LeahFlew with JetBlue-Jul 2026
The AC in the second gate area (where gate 15 is located) doesn't work—be prepared to wait in the other area or bring a fan.
Verified travelerFlew with Frontier-Apr 2026
Bring food to eat in airport and on plane. There was a delay so it came in handy and eliminated need to buy expensive airport food. However, make sure to eat or discard food like meats and fruits before arriving in USA security.
KierriaFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2026
Pack as many snacks as you can! Also, make sure your phone is fully charged before going to the airport. Plugs and outlets to charge phones and devices are hard to come by.
JoseFlew with Frontier-Apr 2026
San Juan airport is just like any other airport, just remember to do the agricultural inspection thing, but only usually take like an extra 10 minutes.
JoelFlew with JetBlue-Apr 2026
Be there early to your flight. Flight usually leaving Santiago leave on time or a bit early.
MilagrosFlew with JetBlue-Mar 2026
Change policy, let the passengers know that boarding will be done by alfphabets from now on so other passengers do not skip because when they all jump at one time that delays flight departure.. Put cushion on the damn seats 4 hrs sitting is terrible on the buns & backs. Delta does that and it goes so smoothly.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-May 2026
In JFK the bags are taken off the belt be you finish immigration. An announcement should be made to say location instead of wasting time at the baggage belt waiting.
RichardFlew with Spirit Airlines-Dec 2025
Make sure you eat before you fly as there are no places to rest anything. Too cramp on the plane. Everything else is fine
JasmaryFlew with Spirit Airlines-Feb 2026
I would advice passengers to bring their own snack as most items are out of stock

Mostly everything in the airport closes at 5pm in Aruba.
Ramon EmmanuelFlew with Spirit Airlines-Sep 2025
Make sure to have long periods between connecting flights
AlexisFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2025
Go early to the airport. Pay for your baggage early to get a discount.
JeffFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2025
Plan in delays. Local St John airport security is very slow. Try to get earliest possible flight out to allow for delays and still get home in a reasonable time.
RogerFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2025
Get something to eat before you leave and have something on the plane because they only give you a cup of juice and 2 ginger biscuits on the flight
Verified travelerFlew with Frontier-Mar 2025
Bring your own snacks because everything on the flight including a can a soda cost money.
slovely08Flew with JetBlue-Dec 2024
Be prepared for long security times, you have to clear customs in Aruba, and there can be a substantial line if you get there at the wrong time. They tell you to be there 3 hours early for a reason.
DanineFlew with Delta-Feb 2025
Arrive early. Pack light if you can. The airport is small and you may not have immediate seating available.
VictoriaFlew with JetBlue-Feb 2025
Make sure to get passport checked by gate before lining up. They did not announce it and the boarding process was chaotic.
CatherineFlew with Delta-Nov 2024
You clear US Immigration, TSA and customs before your flight from Nassau so when you arrive in the US you can go straight to your connecting flight - or leave the airport if that is your final destination. Easy!
Verified travelerFlew with Silver Airways-Jun 2024
You are better to fly out of Nassau. Take a small puddle jumper or the ferry to Nassau and you have your choice of many large airlines.
MichaelFlew with Caribbean Airlines-Aug 2024
Arrive early to give yourself time to browse Duty Free etc.
Jose AFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2024
Those flights are always full. Don’t bring to much carry on items
RobFlew with Silver Airways-May 2024
You better have at least five hours in between when your flight is expected to arrive from marsh Harbor and Fort Lauderdale to have any chance of making any connecting flights from Fort Lauderdale to another destination.
VickieFlew with Spirit Airlines-May 2024
If you have a lengthy vacation Spirit may not be the best since you can only take 40 lbs in your checked bag.
LionelFlew with Delta-May 2024
Well arrive on time because at the SJU airport theres only one TSA area to get in
JeffreyFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2024
Eat before flight; no food provided or sold on board this 3+ hour flight.
ElinicFlew with United Airlines-May 2024
Complete all your documents prior getting to the airport
VictoriaFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2024
Only fly Delta, Canada Air, or British Airways to T&Cs. Never book flights for Saturday and Sunday. If at all possible schedule your departure in the morning, not in the afternoon. Note that the staff in T&Cs is struggling and the facilities are awful. Do not expect to have power outlets or wifi. The only airconditioned "terminal" is upstairs. Go straight there and grab a seat as soon as you get through security. Don't eat the pre-made food from the convenience stores, order from Gilleys. The owner's son for Gilleys' restaurant is amazing. Delta's staff is amazing. Everyone else is miserable and hateful. Best of luck.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2024
Bring your own snacks and water; you have to pay a lot of money for their low-quality food. Download media to your device ahead of time, or bring a book so you don’t have to pay for the overpriced WiFi.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2024
If you wanna eat something in Domino’s Pizza or Wendy’s in Montego Bay airport, you have to spend at least 30-35 min in line, be prepared
JodiFlew with Sun Country Air-Jan 2024
the Wifi never works to watch movies on your own device so be sure to download them to your device before-hand.
KatherineFlew with JetBlue-Jan 2024
Go to the airport with time ahead to avoid inconvenience
HervinFlew with Caribbean Airlines-Dec 2023
Reduce size and amount of carry-on luggage, While in Trinidad please stay close to Gate, boarding may begin with any announcement, While you're in transit for less than 3hrs.and not leaving the transit area passengers are being rough up by customs and security.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2024
The flight is 3 hours and 19 minutes long. I would not fly Spirit unless you are willing to incur the additional charges for either extra wide seating or bulkhead seating.

Great Brasilia aircraft - not a Boeing 757 like the next part of the flight. Flight from MCI to IAD was great, on-time, comfortable, did I mention that? The flight from IAD to EDI was painful. One of the reasons I won't fly United again? Boeing 757, with a seat pitch and material that was horrendous. Worst aircraft ever, made worse by United sardine-can tight seating. Oh, and the connection window, 45 minutes, really? At IAD, in different concourses? What idiot came up with that flight scenario? Happily, (for me and my travel insurance people) the flight was late (reminiscent of American Airlines). The crew was professional and courteous.

Crew was great. Seats are cramped and uncomfortable and I’m a small person.

Awful. Delay after delay. And then again on the tarmac.

WiFi was slow as compared to trip down. Maybe because it was a night flight and more people were using it?

Excellent except for the 2 screaming kids who wouldn’t stop crying and screaming for the entire flight but what are you going to do? The flight was early- good experience

Kept changing the takeoff time and the moved it up so arrived when boarding had already started. Then sat waiting to taxi in for a long time

great starting with the business Class that's was Amazing . thank you United Airlines and brussels Airlines

My email and credit card were used fraudulently for this trip, so no, I did not take this flight.

Nothing, it was a fraudulent transaction. You probably should have caught that.

Airplane is not very clean, food quality and taste was not good. Lufthansa used to be good but nowadays went down. Overall experience is just okay, wouldn't fly again, prefer Turkish airlines.

My flights were all delayed , mostly due to technical issues with AA aircrafts. I had to rebook my trip 4 times . I lost my whole day and finally arrived in LAX around midnight. This was a very bad experience with American airlines , I will always try to avoid flying with them

AA was fine....the overall experience was subpar, but not due to the airline due to broader issues

Delayed and WIFI was not working for most of flight.

The big challenge here was that the inbound flight was delayed, THEN, the aircraft was deemed in need of service, so we had to deplane after being a few minutes away from departure, THEN we had to switch terminals, where another plane in our gate had maintenance issues so we had to change gates again. I am a regular flyer (not on American) so I understand these things happen. The crew was great. The pilot in particular was gracious and understanding and stayed with the passengers the whole time to answer questions and give updates - that was impressive. But the flight was massively delayed as a result, and today I really wanted to be home in time. Sigh The flight was otherwise great.

I am Plstinum Pro snd was standby on earlier flight. They gave seats to people that asked rather than follow standby order. When realized what was happening was too late to get on as no seats left. My scheduled flight was late. Then filled the seat beside me Ruth rude person that they had to move from her original seat

My flight was delayed close to 10 times over the course of the evening. I was originally scheduled to depart at 7:03 PM but did not leave until 12:33 AM, resulting in over 9 hours spent waiting at the airport. The only explanation provided was that the aircraft kept being swapped, with no clear reasoning as to why. Weather conditions at both DCA and Tampa were clear, so that was not a factor. The only accommodation offered was a $12 food voucher, which was entirely insufficient given the length of the delay. Overall, I was completely unsatisfied with this experience. A delay of this magnitude with no meaningful communication or accommodations is unacceptable, and I would have expected much more from American Airlines in terms of customer care.

No ground air conditioner for the plane. Very hot and humid prior to take off which was an uncomfortable period of time.

Check-in process was poor, very poor, only one person to check-in all passengers, so if one passenger had a check-in issue, all other passengers were delayed. All check-ins should have two airline staff to check-in passengers.

Flight was cancelled due to a myriad of operational issues. You guys really suck

Our flight from Chicago to Des Moines was the problem flight due to a dismissive flight attendant. His conduct was unnecessary and unprofessional.. I will avoid using Americam Airlines again because of the situation. Very disappointing.

My original flight was cancelled. My replacement flight was delayed over 2 hours. I lost my whole day in NY

Delays were crazy long (over an hour) both for boarding and baggage claim

awful expereince. boarding was a mess and not communicated, then we sat on a hot plane and were at risk of getting kicked off

2 hour delay and a lack of air conditioning on the plane. Not a good combination

It was so nice! I wish that we can have direct flights to El Salvador 😊😊

Fabulous! This was the first time we've flown with JetBlue and the entire experience was flawless!

First time flying JetBlue and my perception changed. Love it.

Poor, had a 5+ hours delay. Kept sitting in the aircraft with three kids. It was terrible

The plane was filthy and worn - the seat pockets were stuffed with tattered food and torn pamphlets. The cleaning crew that came on as we were deboarding were grabbing handfulls of trash and perfunctorily wiping down tables with dishrags. It's been a while since I flew Jetblue and it used to be a great experience. After this flight I will avoid flying Jetblue again if there is any alternative.

I have flown Jet Blue many times between JFK and SFO. I appreciate how clean the planes are, the ability to select my onboard entertainment and the flight crews have always been amazing! Unfortunately, my trip from SFO to JFK on August 23 was unusual. I arrived early at SFO for the 12:00 noon scheduled boarding. The flight was supposed to take off at 12:45pm but after sitting for a while, the plane had to return to the gate to have a generator inspected. After deplaning and then reboarding, we eventually took off around 3:30 pm. It was explained to the passengers that because the plane was using a backup generator, additional fuel was needed and the flight would take longer than originally scheduled. We were originally supposed to arrive at JFK at 9:32 pm but instead, arrived at midnight. Unfortunately, I was exhausted for the funeral I attended the next morning. As a passenger, I have always expected that the plane will be in good mechanical order and that all parts will function as expected. I'm not entirely certain that if I fly Jet Blue in the future, that I will have the same level of confidence that I had become accustomed to. Thanks for the opportunity to provide this feedback.

They don’t offer food on the flight just water but when arrived on time and landed perfectly

They could give you a snack or at least something to drink during the flight. The flight was also delayed.

Poor poor, airline people are rude unfriendly and unhelpful, they need to be trained to be customer friendly and gelpful

I love bahamasair safety always blown away. They made my fears from travel so much better. Bahamasair #1 Highly recommend We don't just fly here. We live here Pilots and crew keep up the good work.

4 hour delay Noisy passengers Tight seats Missed connecting flight in Ft. Lauderdale

We were scheduled to travel at 12pm. The flight got delayed with no updates until 11:30am. They advised that we will receive an update at 1pm. However, the flight was then delayed until 6pm with no clear indication as to if that was the departure time. It was NOT! They decided to combine two of their scheduled flights into one due to the smaller number of passengers. If you do not wish to be inconvenienced, “STAY AWAY FROM THIS AIRLINE”!!!!!!They do have a track record of this!

Very courteous staff at the gate and excellent assistance with my needs as a handicapped person on board. The flight itself was uncomfortable, with tight seating and seats they don’t recline, so be aware. The aircraft itself is old and worn, and it shook a lot and made a lot of noise, especially upon takeoff and at landing. But, hey it’s a short flight and it got me back home to Florida safely, so….

I feel that I was scammed by BahamasAir. Both on flights 202 and 207, to and from Nassau - Fort Lauderdale June 2, June 6. I paid for 2 full size bags and selected seats. On both flights they told me I had not paid for luggage or seats. I was charged $100 extra each way without seat assignment. BahamasAir does not participate in TSA Pre Check. Even if you have it you cannot use it. Instead endure long lines because BahamasAir will not pay their share of PreCheck.

Boarding process was smooth and easy. The crew was friendly and communicable and transparent about the delay at the landing destination.

Flight was delayed 7hours due to multiple planes having mechanical issues.

Sat in the airport waiting for my flight for 5 hours. Finally got on the plane only to be thrown off and told that my flight was cancelled. Zero customer service. Nobody spoke to us. Just the worst

When I was boarding my departure from Raleigh to Orlando I was inappropriately scolded by a female dog named Mia because I didn’t pay in advance for my carry on bag ($75). Frontiers website is confusing regarding pre-paying for carryons so it was a simple mistake. I also had paid for “upfront plus” meaning me and my son were seated in the front row with no one in the middle seat ($450 upgrade). When we were boarding Mia said “sir, you didn’t pay for your carryon” in a not so polite tone and told me to get out of line and come back to the counter to pay for my carryon. The way they had the retractable rope left me no room to circle back without making the people behind me move so I just stood there and then she said a second time “sir!! Go pay for your carryon” in an embarrassing tone. I then moved their rope so I could get back to the counter when a second female dog then asked “are you done!?!?” because I had said “do you want me to bulldoze the people behind me?” I then said you do realize I paid over $400 for upfront plus so I was certainly not trying to sneak a carryon bag without paying. Long story short, I am soooo done with discount airlines!!! By the time you pay for all the “extras” you might as well have paid for Delta Southwest or American! Frontier airlines sucks and I was embarrassed by a female dog named Mia!!!

Frontier is good until they cancel your flight. Way too many cancellations.

I know Frontier is a “no-frills” airline. I understand the concept. However, I jumped on some tickets for our family vacation, expecting to play a bit of a game to figure out the family bags and not over spend. In the end, I got the short end of this deal by far. 1. I did not expect them to charge the baggage fee for each direction. It makes the fee look high-ish at a glance, but reasonable. Then when you get to checkout and realize you have to pay it twice to come home with your luggage, it becomes ridiculous. 2. The low checked bag weight limit. I am used to packing a 50lb bag with my preferred airline. Frontier’s artificially low 40lb limit more quickly triggers the extra weight fee, which almost DOUBLES the price of the bag if you go over ($79 for the bag/$75 for the next 10 lbs) 3. The fee for a carry-on bag is the same as a checked bag but with a lower size and weight limit. Make it make sense! 4. The seats are terrible. My 2.5 hour flight almost had me losing my mind. I’m 6’3” and my femurs barely fit in the space provided. My knees had to wiggle just right to jam into the crack next to the armrest of the seat in front of me. The cushioning was thin and inadequate. I am tall but I’m not a freak. These seats are unacceptable. 5. I overheard the woman next to me speaking with the gate agent about being charged a $25 fee for not checking in online - she checked in at the airport counter when she arrived. That’s ridiculous. She was old and in a wheelchair. She had a paper boarding pass, and was obviously not tech savvy. She should not be punished for that. 6. They do not have good placement in the terminals. It was always out on the end or down on a subfloor, and we had to walk out on the tarmac almost every time. In Denver. Their home airport! 7. Every time I loaded a new page on the website while buying my tickets or my bags, it was constantly trying to upsell me on some esoteric bundle. Like, a pop-up every time. Very annoying. 8. No screens in the boarding area (at least where we were) to confirm you’re in the right place. Just static gate number signs. I am sure these are standard practices for Frontier, and I should have read more about them before I purchased tickets, but as a result of this single round trip, I do not plan to ever use this cut-rate airline again. I would rather pay the normal amount for a ticket and be treated like a customer instead of a mark.

Our flight was delayed 2 hours and when they changed the the time to 1 hour I wasn't alerted and when I checked the gate the plane was still there but they already shut the doors so I had to buy another flight.

Don’t even matter if I write it y'all not going to fix it

Great except upon arrival it took them a long time to open the doors

Frontier feels like a family I Worked for Eastern Airlines back in the day and I felt the family vibe that I had then. Thank you

Terrible. Delayed my family flight for several hours affecting family plans

Tiny seats, no entertainment, no amenities, delays, they charge for carry on and their allowed personal item is smaller than in other airlines.
