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.

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.

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

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

Seats are made for children. An 8 hour flight with tiny seats is more like a cattle car. Lost bags at Rome airport caused a 7 hour delay.

We sat on the tarmac in Denver for over 30 minutes because a plane was in our gate. The pilot kept saying it will just be 5 minutes or less. However, we sat for over 30 minutes. Experiences like this make customers not trust what the pilot is saying.

Waited on tarmac for approximately 15-25 minutes before taking off. When landing, the time it took to taxi to our gate was the also 15-25 minutes.

Waited on tarmac to take off for approximately 15-25 minutes. When landing, the taxi to our gate took a similar amount of time. This happened on both of my United flights.

The plane was so old. I paid a ridiculous amount to fly business and there was no internet for six hours! This can't be happening in 2026 and especially in cross country flights where there are a high volume of business travelers.

Loved the easy process to board and the experience overall was smooth

Set on the plane for two hours before pushing off the gate due to the power source issue being fixed which was known before letting people board the plane. On top of that it was very hot as AC was not working properly. Terrible experience and limited communication provided by the crew on the status of the issue. They should let people deplane while issue is addressed instead of frying them and glued to the seats.

I am United’s newest fan. The planes are clean, the staff is so friendly and snacks are more than just old pretzel crumbles. The captain came and said hello! Truly amazing experience

1 person checking us as we boarded, left gate on time, 12.30 we are told we were held for 15 mins as other flights were waiting to take off, captain due to rain … they were having a longer gap between take offs , 3pm we took off , they went land route via New Orleans in to Florida landed at 5.45pm offered coffee and a biscuit

Both ways the people in the rear section of the plane were forced to check their carry on bags. I would understand this if the size and number of bags were not limited, but I do not understand why there is not room for one small overhead bag per person, even if the flight is full. I could watch the baggage handlers loading the extra luggage from my window and I’m pretty sure mine wouldn’t have survived undamaged, even though it is new and sturdy.

Entertainment, clean plane and funny pilot over the intercom was excellent… however, gate agent was rude and was probably a Spirit employee before they went bankrupt… there were 3 flight attendants - 2 of them didn’t want to be there the other one was kind and nice… I want you to recognize how you have to compete with Delta or South West airlines or even American Airlines which would choose over you at any given day from here on out. Please treat people respectfully. If you hate working in this industry - go and work somewhere else. The flight was very empty and it shouldn’t be hard to crack a smile once in a while. Very disappointing… I remember flying Jet Blue back in the day from Dulles IAD to LAX and you guys were super cool and fancy and made flying fun again - truly elevated the experience. Don’t become the next most hated airline… you can do better . I want you to succeed…

Free wifi was almost impossible to get, kept dropping the connection

Not good - we boarded and taxied for an hour before they told us there were technical issues with the plane. They told us we were going to need to deplane, parked back at the gate but then didn’t tell us we didn’t have to anymore. There was just a lot of uncertainties with poor communication.

3.5 hour delay because of “mundane” mx issue. Aircraft had to be towed 3 times.

Overall great experience, though my screen for entertainment was not working and I could see that others were.

I want much more comfortable seats on these aircraft thank you.

The boarding agent and checked bag agent were both rude. It only takes a second to be kind. However, the flight crew was amazing. I got a turkey sandwich and it wasn't bad---not great but not bad. The internet was my biggest problem. This was a work trip and I REALLY needed the internet to meet a deadline but it didn't work for 80% of the trip. Very disappointing.

I tried to check in beforehand from Ireland. The Jet Blue website sent me to the Aer Lingus website and vice versa. I tried to get a boarding pass at Dublin Airport as well, but they said they couldn't help me either. I had to wait until I arrived at the gate in Boston to secure a boarding pass...it was a bit nerve wracking.

Great flight. Best in years. Very clean craft. Easy boarding. Communicative pilot. Friendly flight attendants. Absolutely smooth take off, in flight and landing. Very comfortable seats. Smoothest flight I've experienced in years. THANK YOU JET BLUE!

Check-in was easy, but getting luggage checked in wasn't so smooth, due to the machines not working correctly. Boarding went smooth and flight was relatively fast. Captain kept us well informed of our early arrival into LA, which really helped us coordinate with the person picking us up.

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.

This flight left LAX on time and arrived early in HNL. The flight crew was excellent, no issues with service or attentiveness. My issue is with the A321neo ... First class should be renamed business class as the seats are not that comfortable. And, having to use my phone as the entertainment device is just not acceptable ... I'm not going to carry a tablet so I can watch a movie. The music choices are limited, at least IMO.

Seats are getting smaller and smaller. In flight movies are poor compared to other airlines. Food is mediocre.

There was a 4 hour delay, some of which was attributed to ATC weather but started with maintenance and then later also log books. Though the flight went far beyond the scheduled time, there were no accommodations such as additional meal options or anything else.

My flight left Honolulu EIGHT hours late due to lack of flight crew. This was the second time in 2026. The first class staff were excellent ... personable and friendly. The food was okay ...

The food in first class has taken a big downturn

Delay for 1 hour due to maintenance issue and late boarding

Had issues (application error) selecting my seat before checking in. Return Flight was delayed over 2 hours. Sat on the tarmac for 20 mins after landing Overall, not good of an experience compared to the times I have flown AA. Not sure I’m coming back.

Im reviewing a flight that hasn’t even taken off because it’s been delayed for almost 5 hours. Amazing. Great time. No vouchers. Nothing. Thanks.

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.

Airport staff was terrible, they made up excusses on how I can get to my terminal, I missed my flight then had to pay for A whole other flight! Worst experience ever, even A employee also loughed and said yea sorry for our poor training.

THE BARE METAL SEATS AT THE FRONTIER GATE IN CLEVELAND HOPKINS AIRPORT ARE DISGUSTING...BUT JUST A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE SEAT MATERIALS ON THE PLANE! THE "COMMERCIAL" ANNOUNCMENT PUSHING THE CREDIT CARD DEAL IS OBNOXIOUS AND UNWELCOME! THE VOLUME OF THE OFFER ANNOUNCMENET BLARES LOUDLY AND IS FILLED WITH A HYPED UP, CANNED SCRIPT. BOTTOM LINE IS THE FLIGHT AND THE CREW WERE VERY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE.

Maximizing profits is one way to a healthy bottom line, the other is repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers. Frontier has clearly chosen the former. One of many examples: Family emergency required me to cut trip short. Headed to the airport to fly standby for the return trip I had already paid for (yes I understand prices vary with demand etc). Was told there is no standby and that I would need to pay for, despite what it's called by the company, what amounts to a new ticket. And surprise surprise, there turned out to be dozens of empty seats on that flight. To say nothing of the sleazy third and fourth party resellers, the flight/ticket insurance I elected and thought I had paid for that mysteriously wasn't there when I needed it before I left, and on and on with third world sleazy management decisions. The inflight coffee (that I had to pay for) was very good though.

You have to be super careful when purchasing as *everything*, a carryon or a sip of soda, has a fee. They relentlessly chip away at you with surcharges and extra costs … and it’s not always clear what you are getting when you buy your ticket. Will not fly them again. And … crew were not friendly until off boarding .. like they don’t like working for Frontier.

Air was off while waiting on the runway and the temperatures became very uncomfortably hot. Flight attendants were very loud and rude the entire flight.

I booked tickets from San Diego to Cincinnati months in advance to attend my sister’s wedding, a wedding where I was serving as the officiant. At 10:00 PM the night before my 6:00 AM flight (just 8 hours before departure), I received an alert that my first leg to Denver was delayed, causing me to miss my connecting flight to Cincinnati. When I called Frontier customer service, they informed me that they couldn't get me on any other flight that would get me there in time for the Saturday wedding, let alone the rehearsal dinner. Because I had a critical role in the wedding, I was forced to buy a last-minute ticket on another airline for three times the original price, costing me well over $1,000 extra. Even with the emergency flight, I still missed the rehearsal dinner entirely. When I spoke with Frontier, they agreed to refund my original ticket, but showed zero care or accountability for the massive financial burden and distress they caused. Their "compensation" for causing me to spend an extra $1,000+ and miss an irreplaceable family event? A $75 Frontier voucher. Frontier completely dropped the ball. Their customer service showed zero empathy, and their reliability is non-existent. I will never fly Frontier again, and no one else should either if they actually need to get where they want to go. Tip for anyone flying from Denver to Cincinnati: Avoid Frontier connecting flights or layovers at all costs, especially for time-sensitive events. Book direct flights with an airline that actually offers reliable customer support and rebooking options when delays occur.

Their customer service showed zero empathy letting me know that it was Frontier who was the real victim by refunding my ticket price, and their reliability is non-existent. I will never fly Frontier again, and I strongly advise anyone who actually needs to arrive at their destination on time for an important event to book with literally any other airline.

Flight delayed and missed connection. Next available flight was a 10 hour delay.

It got me to my destination? However we were an hour delayed departing, and we never received any updates or notifications from staff. Poor communication and customer service.

Frontier didn’t give us enough notice that our flight had been delayed. I was just entering the airport when I received the notice, less than 2hrs before my scheduled flight. They delayed it 1hr 22min because another jet left late out of Vegas. Frontier needs better communication with customers because I could have eaten at home and had someone drive me instead of paying for an Uber.
