Pros: "My third time flying Avianca, my third time enjoying the flight. The alternatives from El Salvador (sal) to the U.S. (iah) with no stops is United Airlines and I had such a bad experience with them. I was a loyal customer for Continental but it ended when United took over. So far Avianca has replaced Continental in my list of airlines that I would consider. And KAYAK was awesome as always......"

Cons: "Should have weight limit for people taking up one seat. I was squashed with her hanging over me"
Pros: "The delta employees kept us informed of what was going on with the jetway which had broken. Despite the chaotic boarding, we arrived at our destination on time! Way to go! I do love delta."
Cons: "Due to the construction in the airport, there is a small area for this group of people to be ready to board, therefore, it was very difficult to move or get around, Suggest that employees give more instructions about boarding procedures and suggest that people line up accordingly in the right order. They should explain the order of entry, and ask for people who are the last group to stay back so that those who board first are allowed through."
Pros: "Delta Club"
Pros: "The passenger seated next to me with a sense of humor about our situation."
Cons: "For some reason when I booked my flight, for this leg of it, I had "get seat assignment at gate". Once I got my seat assignment I thought I had a window seat: however, when I boarded the plane, I realized that I was in the very last seat of the plane in the window position, but no window. I was crammed in next to a wall and claustrophobic the whole way as I couldn't see anything, couldn't recline at all because behind me was the bathroom, and the engine roared at times in my ears to where I couldn't hear the passenger next to me when we tried to have conversation as the engine was right outside my "wall". We joked, when we could hear each other, that we must've pissed someone at Delta off the last time we flew them. I have no idea why I had to get my seat assignment at the gate for this particular flight, or why I was put in the 'flying coffin' seat, but it made for a very unpleasant experience. Why even have that seat in the plane? Everyone pays a lot of money to fly these days and deserves better than that seat when doing so. just take those two seats out and give everyone else a little more leg room = much better passenger experience for everyone...my suggestion if Delta really cares about the quality of passenger experience."
Pros: "Only the crew was nice!"
Cons: "The plane I was in was making lots of noise. Old plane."
Pros: "I thought the seats were pretty decent."
Cons: "The food was gross, they ran out of 2 of the 3 choices. The entertainment system was old and not very responsive with a mediocre movie choices. My seatbelt was worn and the staff weren't that helpful. I had to take a shuttle and then recheck my bags and then walk for 15 mins to gate with 10- mins to spare. boarding was very slow and we left late."

Pros: "Friendly staff and the support they offered to my mother who needed a wheelchair."
Cons: "I would have liked to have had WestJet internet and entertainment access. It was not offered on our flight from Toronto to Fredericton."

Cons: "Seat space"
Pros: "The crew are very genuine and friendly. Very accommodating."

Cons: "We were delayed nearly 3 hours and we didn't have internet until we arrived at the airport. We then got the notifications and emails telling us about our flight. If we had known sooner, we would have planned accordingly instead of waiting at the airport."
Pros: "Seat was just ok. Crew was great."
Cons: "Boarded pretty late, messed up my plans."
Cons: "delayed for 2hrs"
Pros: "Yes the crew was professional and pleasant."

Cons: "I mean. It’s budget travel with water and a cookie in tiny seats."

Cons: "Gluten free snack option"
Cons: "Missed connection"
Cons: "Prop plane so no food, entertainment and only had instant coffee"
Cons: "Poor seats. Very uncomfortable and hard. Poor food and tv was not working the entire flight. No internet to watch on your own either. Over all uncomfortable, boring and poor quality."
Pros: "Lovely flight everyone"

Cons: "Take off(personal thing)"
Cons: "Had a booking error. Tried to contact you to remedy. Can't get in contact with you. Thankfully Westjet solved it when it was your responsibility. WILL NEVER BOOK THROUGH YOU AGAIN!"
Pros: "Before taking this flight, I was very nervous because of all the bad reviews on here and other sites. The only good reviews seemed to be by people from Alberta (not really trustworthy, as they seem to support anything that's from Alberta, and note that Westjet is based in Alberta...). But I was blown away by how organized Westjet was and how nice they were. All the flights were on time (I had a few layovers), the staff was helpful....I really have no complaints. Sure, they don't have a plethora of great in-flight entertainment such as movies, etc. But when I fly, I'd rather pay less, have the staff be nice/organized, and just bring a darn book to entertain me. It was a great first flight with this company. I would fly with them again....and I can't remember the last time I said that about any other airline. So do yourself a favor: Don't listen to the bad reviews on here (unless you're obsessed with in-flight entertainment and big-butt first class seats)."
Cons: "The movie and T.V. show selection was bad. But that's not a big deal for me...."
Pros: "The people were pleasant and professional."
Cons: "Flew out of Terrace 2 hours late. No reason given. No vouchers. Weather was perfect. Missed my connection with a separate airline down to Denver. Now wondering if I'll make it down to a wedding in time."
Pros: "On time ... efficient and kind people"
Pros: "On time & all staff were great"
Cons: "I rarely purchase food on a flight. This time I saw something on the menu I wanted & they didn't have it"
Pros: "Good service"
Pros: "That westjet was amazing and fixed your screw up"
Cons: "You booked me the opposite way as in to kelowna from Victoria when my destination was victoria and same thing on the way back. Super disappointed and will never book with you again as it ended up costing me double"
Pros: "From beginning to end the flight was smooth straight through."
Cons: "Not much to say or at all that was not liked."
Pros: "WJ Kelowna ground Crew went above and beyond in helping me deal with a rental car issue (a crew member volunteered to return my rental car key after I had cleared security) This simple act will leave me with a lasting positive impression of the Kelowna crew and the WJ brand and will influence my future purchase decisions well done"
Cons: "short haul food.snacks are marginal... either up the quality of the snacks or eliminate altogether as the current offerings detract from the experience ..."
Pros: "The boarding was quick and organized"
Cons: "The plane was so small I was sitting in the walkway and the chair was very uncomfortable"
Cons: "Plane delayed on tarmac on arrival. Immigration line was chaos with no staff helping to provide order. Missed my connection and changed to another flight the next morning - aeromexico would not pay for hotel or taxi. Supervisors were rude and dismissive, didn’t care about effect on my plans."
Pros: "Crew was very friendly!"
Cons: "all was excellent!"
Pros: "The flight was delay about an hour, on board. The crew was great. No entertainment on board. Good complimentary bar."
Cons: "Being on time"
Pros: "Crew. Amazing seat not confortable"
Cons: "Very nice crew clean plane"
Cons: "Flight landed and sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes. Need to better schedule gate availability in Mexico City."

Cons: "Be in time, over 1 hr delayed."
Pros: "Boarding. Very confusing who were they calling to board. I had Amex privileges and did not pick up when I could bosrd"
Cons: "Flight cancelled"
Pros: "I love flying Aeroméxico. Great airline, great service"
Cons: "My ticket was not honored because they said the name was not complete on the reservation so I had to buy a new one way ticket"
Pros: "The price"
Cons: "WiFi"
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Seat space is miserable"
Pros: "Again, that you managed to be on time and that a 45 minute connection went flawlessly."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Cons: "Horrible and first flight was 1h45min late which made me miss my connecting flight. The transit airport was also a horrible experience to spend many endless hours in."
Pros: "from LA,to Juadalagara mexico the time was,to close to,get,the,next, flight, it takes to much time to get to next flight,so we missed the fliight.an they had us ringing a road. from here to there .they bags were thrown in a different shut they said it was going to be, number 7 it was thrown on number 5 wend none of personal set nothing. so does the resen we miss or flight .so we had to stay in Mexico for two day in mexico whit out the company given us any hospitality for us to stay."
Cons: "so overall it was a haraval company to flight we"
Cons: "I actually arrived early, which turned out to be a mistake, because Aeromexico moved the gate to the farthest possible new gate location while I was away getting a sandwich, which was itself delayed. When I noticed the change, I ran to the new gate and waited 10 minutes while they talked to the boarding people, who wouldn't let me on. After several hours of bag retrieval, having to buy a new full price ticket, having my cards declined due to the price and circumstances, having to go through 2+ wrong directions for each step of the process, determining that maybe one employee in five could speak even minimal English in an international airport, I finally got on a Delta flight. In sum, won't be flying on Aeromexico in future."
Cons: "With one hour to go, a man in my row in the AMPlus section (which costs extra for a bit more comfort in economy) was joined by his companion who started the flight in the back, the basic economy fare which does not cost extra.. I didn’t appreciate the fact that she got to sit up front without paying and that the AeroMexico crew did nothing to call her out or send her back. The lesson: Don’t pay the extra money for AM Plus. Just wait until no one is watching and move up front. No one cares—except your fellow passengers who paid for the added comfort."
Pros: "Todo muy bien"
Cons: "Nada"
Cons: "Aeromexio did not include my name in the passenger list. And it cost me 2 hours detained upon arrival in Portland"
Pros: "Spaces plane"
Cons: "The flight was late with no explanation. On flight entertainment broken, no explanation or apology. Mexico City airport is is disorganized and the bathrooms broken or filthy. They broke three suitcases on my flight, including mine. Quality of service and response is zero."
Pros: "Good attitude"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "My shoes were stolen"
Pros: "The plane was comfortable and the crew was great."
Cons: "The boarding was ridiculous. They never posted what gate the flight went out of. If it wasn't for Kayak we would not have known when to go. The flight was delayed but they never did update that information. It did not leave on time like the board said. They just all of a sudden said they were boarding the flight."
Pros: "Ontime and pleasant"
Cons: "Food"
Pros: "Punctuality, good film selection."
Cons: "Food was extremely bad."
Cons: "they want to charge you for every little thing they can, terrible service, poor communication skills (even in spanish) definitely will try to avoid flying again with this "airline". too bad I still have to fly back home with them"
Cons: "The flight was delayed over 2 and a half hours, missed our connecting flight in Mexico City. The in flight entertainment stopped working half way through the flight, didn’t work again. Bad customer service, didn’t even apologize"
Pros: "Good selection of movies which are controlled by the individual passengers. Comfortable seats. Served breakfast of fruit, yogurt and muffin."
Cons: "Don't like flying through Mexico City because the immigration process is very poor, i.e.long lines to get to agents . Airport is cold at night."
Pros: "7:15pm officially cancelled at 12:05am"
Cons: "Bad Communication"
Pros: "I like that they came by for drinks and again for coffee."
Cons: "We took off nearly 30 minutes late. The seats are pretty small for a tall person. Food was a piece of bread, cheese, apple sauce, and chocolate. That's it. No in flight entertainment at all."
Pros: "Puntuality"
Cons: "Seats, food, too much waits at the gates"
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "They cut my luggage bag and stole me. Below a list of my missing items: -A big cut on the back side of my luggage (Brand: Brics) -1 safety lock "Brics" (Italian original, same as my luggage brand) -3 shirts Calvin Klein -1 jeans Calvin Klein - 2 tie pins Montblanc - 1 pair of shoes Calvin Klein unfortunally I did not realize about it until I arrived to my hotel room and unpack my things. I have created a report but they did not even told me if they will pay me back for my things. By the way I use a flight at least 10 times per month ( MX / US / and sometimes Europe)"
Cons: "had to pick up bags, clear immigration and customs, go to a different terminal (with 4 pieces of luggage, 4 back packs, and two kids) check in again, drop bags, clear immigration again and board the plane. Will avoid this connection at all costs next time"
Cons: "Old airplane"
Pros: "The seats were huge and extremely comfortable. The leather was peeling off and the seatback pouches were falling off the seats, but none of that mattered. It felt like first class room and comfort so I didn't care at all. There were no tvs, but it's a very short flight so it's not a big deal."
Cons: "It felt so old that I was slightly worried about the airplane's ability to fly!"
Pros: "Aeromexico puts delta, United, American to shame. Every time I fly with Aeromexico they have on-time flights, food and drinks included, friendly service and excellent price for tickets. No last second delays or flight rescheduling as happens with US carriers. I'll take Aeromexico ANY day over the shitty US airlines. And for those complaining about info not being readily available in English, it doesn't hurt to learn a little Spanish"
Cons: "They ran out of Corona."
Cons: "Basically I had 4h of connection in Mexico City and even so Aeromexico made me miss the flight to extort money. After arriving in Mexico City Took 1.5 hours to get the bags. Then another 0.5 h for re-inspection. After 2h they still had not set the boarding gate so I went to the international boarding area. As I was close the gates 30 min before boarding I decided to look for my gate and to my surprise they changed to the national boarding on the opposite side where it should be. I arrived at the gate 15 min before the scheduled departure time and the plane had already taken off without announcing my name! From that moment Aeromexico totally abandoned me! Basically the only solution they offered me was to buy a new ticket for Houston for $ 1,400.00 because there was no place on any flight! I missed my work day, my US phone did not work in Mexico City and I thought I had to sleep at the airport! Thank goodness the airport's consumer protection staff helped me a lot. They somehow managed an Aeromexico flight on the same day with no additional cost. The flight I got there were 4 empty seats and they were trying to charge me $1,400. Shame on you Aeromexico."
Pros: "everything"
Pros: "Thanks for putting me on priority on the next flight."
Cons: "Flight reassignments are a HUGE inconvenience!!"
Pros: "The economic price for the great service,because we can travel more often."
Cons: "The kind of sandwich too dry."
Pros: "Aeromexico sucks"
Cons: "very poor information for passengers. All passengers on this flight were confused about gate information."
Pros: "Comfort"
Cons: "Everything was excellent"
Pros: "Good service and very attentive crew. Aircraft new and clean."
Cons: "Screens don't move. Limited selection of movies and even fewer options for younger kids. Bag drop chaotic. Busy queues but very few personnel manning the desks."
Cons: "Never made it."
Pros: "The price and the times available."
Cons: "That they move you around and can clearly or you have to go down to a bus which is late and you have a short time to catch the bus."
Pros: "the food that was served was unexpected and so much more than what other airlines offer. Also the leg room on the plane was again an unexpected surprise and was great."
Cons: "I missed my connecting flight (I was stopped at a security check point) and I was told that in order to get on a standby flight I had to pay an extra 297.00 so they could try to fit me on the 4:30 pm flight. The reason they could not just put me on standby was because I had paid a discounted rate for my flight so standby was not allowed without paying more. I bought a ticket for the 11:00 am flight the next day becasuse they told me they had no more room on the 4:30 flight, but then they were able to "fit" me on the 4:30 flight. I was just happy to get on a flight, but at the same time frustrated because I felt as if I really had not choice. The 4:30 flight was probably on 3 quarters full. Other than that experience at the service counter the airline and airline crew were great."
Cons: "flight didn't even happen"
Pros: "Food was tasty and plenty. Crew was attentive and professional. Even with a 20 minute delay for take off, we arrived on time."
Cons: "The leg room and seat width seem to be less than other planes. The monitor was very touchy and hard to make it respond"
Pros: "the best seat ever and very amazing crew"
Cons: "Instead of taking my one half of one ounce plastic cup half-full of wine, the stewad, allowed me to keep it. I love common sense."
Cons: "4 gate changes, delayed delayed delayed. UGH. Sirens going off at gate no staff around to turn it off or talk to. Lady at counter very upset with pilot. We had a plane at the 2 gate but no flight crew. Next gate no plane but crew. Who organizes this? American airlines has some work to do!"
Pros: "Great"
Cons: "I missed this connecting flight."
Cons: "21/2 delay....no explanariin. But flight attendants did not show up until 9:15 and yet plane had been on the ground since 8:30. Seems poor planning on airline’s part"
Pros: "Horrible landing. Also-landed early and srive around for 20 min with no announcement from cockpit"
Pros: "Smooth ride, good service."
Cons: "N/A"
Cons: "My seat was broken and would not recline, i mentioned it to the stewardness and even though there were other empty seats they did not offer to move me."
Cons: "Terrible delays entirely their responsibility. No attempts to accommodate. Single worst travel experience I’ve ever had."
Pros: "Despite numerous delays, we made it to Philadelphia. We were alerted to the delays in a timely manner. We were also treated to a snack cart and cupcakes to celebrate the first day of direct flights."
Cons: "A long delay. Patience is everything and the staff and crew were very friendly."
Pros: "Fast trip!"
Cons: "We were delayed because of a broken tray table and then the broken tray table was mine. But we made it, and the flight was good, so it was fine."
Cons: "The airport crew in Fort Myers were rude, slow, difficult and more concerned with chitchat among themselves than helping passengers"
Cons: "Delayed by 90 minutes."
Cons: "Long time sitting in the plane without any updates from the crew. Very inefficient process in re-booking passengers and switching planes. Maintenance issues are are a trend at American Airlines."
Pros: "On-time departure and arrival; room to stow carry-on's; able to move to vacant row to give both the other guy in my row and me some extra leg room."
Cons: "If the exit row seats are completely vacant, ask the flight attendant EARLY in the boarding process if you can move into them. I asked a good 10 min. prior to departure from the gate and was told I couldn't do it then. The FA let me move after takeoff and the obligatory "You're in exit row seating ..." briefing."
Pros: "Crew was great. Courteous and efficient."
Cons: "For a long flight the entertainment options were pathetic. Also the flight was 2 hours late. And there were no chargers at the seats so that also limited the entertainment options. The food was too salty and fatty."
Cons: "Waited on runway for 45 minutes without any announcement as to why. On plane seat in front of me was defective leading to passenger reclining well into my lap."
Pros: "Flight crew was great and made the flight that more memoriable ."
Pros: "The flight was smooth."
Cons: "The crew announced we would not receive beverage service without a reason. Also there was very little air coming from the vents, so not to receive a cold beverage on a hot airplane for a 72 minute flight (should've been 52 minutes; however we were delayed on tarmac) is not logical."
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "I really can't believe that this flight didn't have in headrest screens or USB power to keep you devices charged. This was a 6 hour flight across the US. If they don't provide entertainment, at least let the people charge their devices."
Pros: "Great movie/entertainment selections and the food was very tasty."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "The pilot did a great job flying. Very smooth."
Cons: "The flight attendants were pretty mean and just overall dissatisfied. Apparently we had community water to share? Everyone gets water from the same bottle?? Too strange."
Pros: "Non stop flight & friendly crew"
Cons: "No foot rest & seats not too comfortable"
Pros: "Nice crew"
Cons: "Crew let people move to main cabin extra without paying like I did"
Pros: "Although the flight was delayed from San Jose and Chicago yet they reached as per original schedule time"
Pros: "The crew was very nice and the seats were comfortable. I enjoyed the movie selection."
Cons: "My seat was broken (button to recline was stuck)."
Pros: "Food was good and boarding was smooth."
Cons: "Some of the crew were not friendly. They almost seemed irritated when asked a question. I felt extremely bad for the foreign passengers because they were asking about customs and the forms and some of the crew were just rude to them. Imagine being in a foreign country and people not being helpful- embarrassment to USA. Entertainment was ok- old movies were shown rather than a little more current."
Cons: "THe reading light was broken"
Pros: "I didn't like anything"
Pros: "Missed a previous connecting flight due to delays, but staff was able to get me on a next flight out, two hours later."
Cons: "Very small niggle but it could be very frustrating for people. I watched the Hobbit trilogy on the flight. The films appear in the menu alphabetically. Viewing them this way leads to a 1,3,2 order.... There is no indication (that I saw) for the order they should be viewed."
Cons: "Overhead compartments full. Had to check carry-ons to final destination before boarding. Groups 3 and 4 and most of Group 2 had to check their carry-ons due to AA allowing more than 2 carry on items per person and oversize carry on items for Groups 1, and all the Advantage classes called."
Pros: "I was in a seat in coach that was appalling. (28C?), one row behind the exit row seating. I am only 5' 8" but could not cross my legs. The guy to my left was KNITTING, so was constantly jogging my arm which I carefully had kept inside the armrest on my side. I will avoid flying in a BA 747 in future. Even Business is awful on those jets. I flew in Business once, and thought the head to tail layout was the worst I have experienced. I pulled down the joint divider and thought the person in the next bed was dead, he was lying there with his arms crossed over his chest! It's time to update the 747's or retire them."
Cons: "The pathetic little 4.5" times 3.5" screen in the seatback was a joke in today's environment."
Pros: "The pilot and crew were considerate that it was very early on a Sunday and so they kept interruptions to a minimum."
Cons: "The legroom seemed particularly tight on this flight. Not sure why. I fly a lot. Maybe this plane was diffferent - or I was particularly interested in napping and it was hard?"
Pros: "Modern plane"
Cons: "Required to board bus for a half minute a ride to get on plane in front of "gate". Business class only 8 smallish seats. Economy have was as cramped as ever. Long restroom lines."
Pros: "The only thing to like was arriving on time."
Cons: "Paid extra for priority boarding, that was a mistake. We got boarding group one but by the time all the families with kids, first class, and frequent flyers went ahead of us they called all remaining groups together. Forget about overhead space left over, we had to gate check carry on. Seats were very uncomfortable, no room under the seat because of a big metal box for power outlets. No leg room, sat shoulders and thighs touching with neighbors. No meal service, just drinks and pretzels, luckily we ate before departure. Never again!"
Pros: "The service was good and I love that there is a cracked bag included."
Cons: "The flight was delayed...if it was mechanical, no worries but there was another plane at our gate which make me think that mechanical was just an excuse."
Pros: "not crowded"
Cons: "British Airways cancelled my return without warning or even notice, I found by chance a few days before my return trip while checking the schedule. I had to spend an hour on the phone between British Airways and their code share on American Airlines and rebuy my seats on American. I am still waiting for the re-imbursement of the first cancelled seats ..."
Pros: "Crew was nice"
Cons: "I would like to be able to let the passenger next to me to close the shade. He slept , the sun was not in his face ."
Pros: "The staff was so nice and helped me find my way around."
Cons: "Food prices a bit high when compared to buying the same thing outside the airport."
Pros: "The flight was boarded well in advance of takeoff, which was a pleasant surprise. The short flight was smooth and uneventful. I enjoyed a free movie, and then we were back on the ground."
Pros: "No delays, speedy boarding and off boarding."
Cons: "Nothing..it was great."
Cons: "Cancelled, had to stay in Dallas until next day"
Pros: "Business class is very good"
Pros: "My seats remained next to each other."
Cons: "Delayed with no proper notice. Flight took an extra 5hrs to arrive destination."
Pros: "Crew was friendly."
Cons: "Uncomfortable, no food"
