The guy in front of me was talking constantly, even when the pilot was making announcements. I found this very disrespectful to the pilot and to others.

The guy in front of me was talking constantly, even when the pilot was making announcements. I found this very disrespectful to the pilot and to others.

We left 1.5 hours late due to a “maintenance” issue. Very poor communication as to when we would board & depart. The crew in First Class was uncharacteristically not friendly). Delay into Brussels cost me my connection to Rome so lost the entire first day of vacation ( had a 10:30am flight to Rome - ended up on a 6:55pm flight).

Everything was OK except the meals, that was overpriced chicken meat.

Miss My connection I had to take a flight from Indianapolis to Denver , then to san fransisco , sleep in sans fransisco en the flight to Los Cabos the next morning

The TVs on the plane were all broken and inoperable. No snacks or food were served. Plane was very old and uncomfortable.

Takeoff delayed 2 hrs. Boarded on time to find we were missing part of the flight crew. Then informed that they had loaded too much fuel. Spent 1 1/2 hrs sitting there burning off the excess, which included a couple of laps around the runway until we were light enough to fly! Ridiculous!

I especially enjoyed having a lightly packed flight which enabled me and my wife to occupy a three seat area with nobody in the middle seat.

The seats are very small, that is all the staff did a good job.

It was great. The staff is always helpful and polite. The app is great and makes the whole trip and process so easy. They even offer a step to step guide to your correct terminal. And they keep all the information you'll need updated. Anything you can think of! Great experience.

Perfect. On time and the weather was perfect so we came in a few minutes early.

Mostly good, flight take off in time and land earlier I can’t ask for more..

The crew was not nice this time. I asked for a drink one time and the girl didn’t say anything to me and just got me the hot drink while walking super fast to the back. We were sitting in the back and she wasn’t doing anything except socializing. She was upset I asked for something and she had to do her job. I also didn’t fully have it in my hands when she handed it to me so it was dangerous. She was abrupt and rude. She wouldn’t allow for people to spread out like previous flights we had been on if they were empty, and there were empty rows. It was strange and she enjoyed being angry at us.

The plane was FREEZING COLD. Like I was wishing I'd brought gloves. Is this how JetBlue sells more blankets? Other than that, all fine. Crew just as nice as usual. A flight attendant asked (who? The pilot?) to have the air turned down for a great number of passengers who were as cold as I was. They (again -- who is "they") did not.

Flight was fine, but I was annoyed to have to pay for luggage again. We had paid for our luggage on our first two connecting flights with SATA Azores Airlines, but had to pay for luggage again with JetBlue at JFK airport. For one trip we paid over $500 for two suitcases to travel from Azores to San Francisco.

Everything was great the only issue was lack of Wi-Fi

Left a bit late duee to a technical issue, but got in early

Wonderful aircraft Crew was tired,but great considering On time No complaints

I am always very pleased with the service u receive from JetBlue employees

Your Jet Blue representative at the check in desk in Boston on Sunday morning, October 13, was unkind and unhelpful. For that reason alone I will avoid JetBlue airlines in the future. No food or beverage on the flight due to turbulence (not your fault). However I paid extra to sit in the upgraded section in the front and did not benefit from most amenities.

we used to fly with a different airline but it shut down. We had to find an alternative airline that we like in order to make domestic trips and this fits the bill. Not only is it a similar price but the customer service and the experience overall is much much better. We will be using JetBlue again.

Crew were helpful, pilot kept us informed about turbulence, snack choice was awesome!

It was one of the worst I have ever had. The plane was over booked, and I did not have a seat. When I questioned why because I had booked this weeks in advance. I was brushed off to be advised they are trying to find someone to give up their seat. Only to be advised I would be boarding last. I had priority boarding in group 1-4. When I asked why I had to be last because that is not what I paid for I was advised it doesn't matter you will get a seat. The ticket person was very rude and unprofessional. The gate changed several times and it was going from one area to another area far away from where we were at. I feel like I should have been compensated in some kind of way because of the way I was treated. The ticket agent acted like it was my fault that the plane was over booked. Not one time was I apologized to for this inconvenience.

We did not fly on American Airlines from Chicago to London. We were rebooked on British Airways (by American Airlines) and our luggage was left behind. A full day delay and lost luggage.

I have posted the comments in the first flight leg.

First class snacks - stewardess gave out multiples to everyone until there was almost no selection left when she got back to me last in first class cabin. Nothing left that I would eat.

My feedback from the trip to Columbia to Chicago was meant for Chicago to Denver.

The WiFi was out gr entire flight. Had to Diane for almost 1 hour to wait for a gate to open up for plane to dock. Very bad experience.

After boarding, the AC was shut off on the flight. At business class, I really could not breathe. I was absolutely dripping sweat. I was told by the FA that there was nothing they could do but I could stand by the door until departure. So, that's what I did. I was clearly in the way while the FAs were trying to do their work, but I had to be able to breathe. After that, of course, I had sweated up a lot so was very uncomfortable for the six hour flight.

DELAYED AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN - not only that, you delay in 20 minute increments for hours and hours instead of having an accurate delay understanding.

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

I got to the airport and the airline told me i did not have a flight. I never got a confirmation email yet I did get charged. Please refund my money asap

Was charged for ticket, unable to check in online, made the line to speak to someone at the counter but was told I did not show up in the system as having a ticket to fly - even though I have the email with confirmation and credit card was charged. I could not purchase another ticket at the counter, only online which was not working. Ended up buying a flight on another airline at the airport. Called customer service to claim the cost of the original ticket, was told I showed up in their system as having a ticket but did not check-in or show up to board the flight. Currently pending review for refund via their customer service team, they were very nice and helpful over the phone despite the many glitches.

Do not book with this airline. Flights delayed over 3 hours and no explanation. They keep changing your itinerary every hour.

Awful. Not water, or chargers or space under the seats, the plane was very old and poor maintenance, seats really dirty, sticky, seats pockets with wires pinching your knees. Connection with no announcements, plane departed 1.30 hour earlier for an extra stop to refueling in Trinidad & Tobago. Even that we had a 3 hrs delay, seated in the plane in the runway.

Really bad. Uncommunicated stop in Trinidad & Tobago for refueling. Extra stop added 3 hours of discomfort without allowing off the seat. Not even water, or chargers or boarding groups.

Horrible service. No communication from the crew as to why a 6 hour delay then cancellation

We waited in an overcrowded bus for over a half hour. It was uncomfortable. It would have been better to have waited in the terminal in a line

I paid extra for a comfortable seat in the second flight, but the plane didn't have those seats, the first one did

The Arajet person who greeted us initially was unhelpful & rude about the mandatory migration form which has to be completed digitally but the systems don’t work properly. The boarding gate was changed twice and initial boarding was delayed. Once on board we we had to wait an hour and a half before take off. It was hot and there was very little room for tall-ish people to fit their knees in. The crew were pleasant but working in a poor situation. The plane was delayed because we were waiting for people from a delayed interconnecting flight. Arajet must have known that before we were asked to board. Better information, decisions & communication were needed.

My seat was broken and the crew had to find me somewhere else to sit. The crew was extremely courteous about this

During the flight I suddenly felt very sick, and no one from the crew even tried to help me or check on my condition. They seemed completely indifferent and showed no concern for my well-being. I was very disappointed by the lack of care and compassion. I hope the airline improves its customer service and trains its crew to respond better when passengers need assistance.

Flight was canceled. Most upsetting was message from Kayak, stating that the flight was canceled and click with Kayak for details regarding rebook, refund details. THERE'S NO INFORMATION PROVIDED BY KAYAK EXCEPT THAT FLIGHT IS CANCELED. AND NOW THIS SURVEY TO FIND OUT HOW WAS THE FLIGHT !!!!!!!

Better than expected. Staff were friendly and nice on both flights.

Just know that everything, and I mean everything is “ala cart”. 60$ just to put something in the overhead bin. I will never fly Frontier again nor do I recommend them to anyone else.

Great for the price. No wifi or entertainment, but gate agents and crew were fantastic and we boarded quickly and left on time.

Our flight was canceled for no known reason. We weren’t told until we were checking in at 5:00 am. This was after our last flight with Frontier where we sat on the plane for three hours (not an exaggeration) before we took off because of a mechanical issue. We won’t be flying Frontier again.

I didn’t have enough time to catch my connecting flight and had to use a different Airline. I will be requesting a refund.

I brought a ticket and car rental through Travelocity. There was no where to add a KTN. So I thought i’d add it by looking up ticket on frontier website. I tried 3 times with the frontier chat bot to add my KTN it never updated my boarding pass. So then I tried showing up early to do it in person at the airport. The first employee update my ktn in the system and gave me a new boarding pass. I was sent back by tsa to join regular line. Then I was told to add my Ktn. It would cost me $25 extra. Given the length of the cue I did pay. Congratulations! BUT I will NEVER fly frontier again. Plus the plane was very old. It had actual ashtrays and old looking tray backs. Worst travel experience ever. Im warning my friends and family not to use frontier ever.

It was delayed 9 hours for operational reasons, despite the plane arriving to the airport on time.

Was just ok with over selling I guess. A lot of people in a short space and when we finally arrive i20 minutes, waiting to get out from the plain because we were waiting authorization for out boarding? Something like that.
