Airline reviews

Cons: "We were delayed by 2 hours because of storms in Atlanta. The crew was awesome with updates but it made for a long day."

Cons: "We were delayed by 2 hours because of storms in Atlanta. The crew was awesome with updates but it made for a long day."

Pros: "Due to COVID 19 we got a 737-800 on a route that usually boasts nothing better than a 717 so everything about this flight was superior to normal runs."

Cons: "I wish DL could find a way to better manage food and drinks during the COVID 19 restrictive era."

Pros: "Crew was great"

Cons: "We had to go back to the gate to correct an interior light problem."

Pros: "Seat was okay, and the crew were good. Boarding was quick probably because not many passengers on flight."

Cons: "Nothing really. Flight was quick."

Pros: "Once boarding was over, flight and crew were great."

Cons: "Flight was delayed by 2 1/2 hours. Better accommodations and notice would have been appreciated."

Cons: "In flight movies would be nice . Tight seats for 6.3 huy"

Pros: "Food and drinks were great"

Cons: "Would have liked being able to select a window seat."

Cons: "CheezIts were too salty. We had to sit on NO tarmac for over 10 minutes because a plane was stuck at our gate...several other gates empty - what's up?"

Pros: "The crew was attentive."

Cons: "Games on the tv were okay. Tetris would be a nice addition."

Pros: "The short duration of the flight and punctual arrival. Better seating with more leg space in Airbus than in the horrible Boeing 467- 400."

Cons: "No headsets distributed so I couldn't listen to film program. Crew rather impersonal. I'm dreaming of an airline that uses functioni g loudspeakers during boarding. Nobody understands acoustically which zone is being boarded ( not only a Delta issue)."

Cons: "They claim to be cleaning these planes but I find that hard to believe when there is Gum on the window sill. We were also delayed quite a bit in the boarding process. Also I would imagine that during Covid-19 these companies would do a better job of not overbooking flights but all of my flights with American this past weekend were overbooked. Which delayed us even longer as they searched for volunteers to adjust their flights. In today's age of technology the idea that they are still overbooking planes makes no sense to me in the slightest. I will be walking, driving or taking a boat before I fly American Airlines again."

Pros: "Flight was on time"

Cons: "Carry-on luggage needs to be monitored more closely. I saw one passenger with three pieces. Meanwhile, I had to stow my bag 10 rows behind me."

Cons: "The salad was included two unmentioned items that were unwelcome: bleu cheese and pasta."

Cons: "Everything, especially an AA customer representative. Very rude, inconsiderate, and unprofessional."

Pros: "Crew was great. Flight delayed due to lavatory door not closing. Then+0, 20 minutes of papaerwork. Followed by no one able to operate bridge when landed for 20 minutes."

Cons: "Delays,"

Pros: "not atg all"

Cons: "I paid for a preferred seat and the passenger seated next to me was so large that he could not buckle his seatbelt and totally squished me into the window. I called the stewarddess over and I was haphazardly moved to an aisle seat next to a smaller passenger. I was then bumped into repeatedly by"

Pros: "People were ok"

Cons: "The boarding process is a mess at this airport. Feel sorry for anyone with accessibility issues. Stairs to all planes."

Cons: "Paid for upgraded seat with complimentary drinks that I still got charged for."

Cons: "They lost and cant track my baggage. Very poor customer service."

Cons: "How does a ground crew not know a plane is coming in late. How is there no one here for baggage. It's a joke."

Pros: "That I can charge my phone."

Cons: "That I needed the wall jack part to charge my phone. My side’s wall jack was broken. I think if possible they can make it that I can plug the usb part of the wall jack straight. This way the wall jack won’t be needed. Also they were only two in each roll but they are three seats in each roll."

Pros: "No issues at all on this leg of the flight."

Cons: "wish plane had phone chargers on board"

Cons: "pretzels and drinks only provided. Not too friendly stewardess, eating utensils were not available to assist customer with brought in meal. Luggage did not make it to destination with passenger... it arrived 2 hours later in the following United flight."

Cons: "My flight was delayed 5hrs and added multiple connecting flights that I didn’t need. I had a 6am flight and didn’t get to my destination until 11pm."

Pros: "I was able to change my seat since mine was all the way in the back. very happy about that."

Pros: "Besides being tired and walking what felt like 3 miles to new gate I have not issues to report."

Cons: "I chose to fly Southwest on the way back and for less money I received better service. If you find a reasonably priced flight you don't have to worry about paying extra for baggage or stomach during the flight. On the flight home, I realized that they have bigger seats, your bags ( 1 personal, 1 carry-on, and 2 checked bags) are "free" and they give you a little snack to hold you for maybe and hour. Overall I prefer Southwest because of all the benefits you get while flying with them but it doesn't mean I will never fly United again."

Pros: "Smooth flight, on time. Older model plane compared to my first United flight but its more comfortable because the seat spacing isn't cramped the way they are on the newer model United planes. Immediately felt the difference (my knees weren't up against the seatback in front of me)."

Cons: "Older plane"

Cons: "Basic economy not aloud a carry on bag. Charged for a checked bag. The TV programming was an extra charge as well as the drinks."

Pros: "The crew was very nice."

Cons: "My group got separated, as well as a few other groups I saw. There was no effort made by the airport staff to accommodate any of us."

Cons: "Being wedged in the middle seat after two overseas flights and seeing stand-by passengers in isle and window seats in rows ahead of mine... no, I did not appreciate that. In other words, UA is accomodating stand-by passengers before accomodating customers who have purchased tickets. Try sitting in a middle seat after two overseas flights... especially as a tall person with no knee space and a super-uncomfortable seat with the headcushion area reaching only your neck. Those seats were clearly made for folks under 5'8"-5'9"."
