Long layover between flights to Long Island from BWI - need better coordination between flights

I elected to pay for the upgrades and found very little difference

The new seating arrangement is so over priced for what you get.

The problem with the seat assignments is that there were a lot of rows in the front that were empty but my row at the back was full. Just not so pleasant.

I appreciate the staff who allowed me to board though I arrived a little late! Regarding the assigned seating, I had booked my flight before this change and wasn't aware of the change at the time, and so I didn't select a seat at booking as I didn't realize it was relevant. Better communication about the change would have been helpful for preparing.

The staff was very friendly, professional, and courteous. The overall flight was a great experience.

Plane crashed into a bus or some other vehicle on the ground while pulling out of the gate. No injuries, but wing tip was damaged and returned to gate for “maintenance issues” and we departed 5 hours later because the plane went out of service and new plane was flown in from a nearby airport, Midway.

All was good. I just had a hard time getting connected to the WiFi/internet during the flight

Sacrament staff are always polite and helpful. Airport is easy to maneuver and boarding is straightforward.

Near 4 hour flight with only 1 service. Had to use call button to request water. Internet and power not working until into flight. Internet would stop working during flight.

Seats are uncomfortable. This has been a trend in the industry for decades. Trying to fit more seats on each plane to increase profits at the expense of the passenger.

It’s always a great time flying with united airlines.

We got delayed three hours and nobody thought to have the bathroom fixed while we were sitting waiting to board? took a full hour to have maintenance come and check it off. Had to shut the bathroom down twice so that the pilots could go to the bathroom. Everyone missed their connections.

Women boarding passengers at the gate was absolutely rude and disrespectful of passengers. The flight attendant was absolutely delightful! Smiling and connected with the passengers. So happy. The seats are cramped and uncomfortable but I guess that’s just the way it is Communication regarding flight was excellent

As great a red-eye flight as red-eye flights can be.

Both of my flights arrived early and check in process was smooth

Everything was on time Will use united again for sure

The flight was delayed by two de-icings. The seatbelt did not work correctly. It did not stay tight.

Hotter than Hades in August. Why, why do crews think that in the winter when we are already dressed for cold weather we need a cabin that is 82 degrees. Even the vents were blowing hot air.

Flight was delayed. De-icing took a while. When we landed had to wait for another plane to vacate our gate. Just an overall bad experience.

My check in was stressful. I somehow lost my seat from my original booking, the plane showed no availability/no seat when it was time to check-in. I called and was instructed to try to get a seat at the airport. I asked if it was a full flight and the travel agent said the site showed some seating but was not able to secure one for me. Why not? On my way to the airport the app finally revealed one available seat towards the back of the aircraft that I was able to book. It ended up being an overbooked flight, so glad I wasn't stuck.

Flights with JetBlue from San Diego to Boston are a miserable experience. The flight was delayed about 1.5 hours due to “weather” supposedly but the flights for other airlines left on time so it just have been some kind of weather that only affects JetBlue. I had a small carry on - purse. The crew stored it in a bin 2 rows down from me because they were using the bin next to my seat for other people’s stuff. The TV screen in the emergency row seats does not work. It just was awful from start to finish. When we landed, we had to sit inside the plane for a very long time because the plane had to be moved to a different gate.

They made me check my bag and I didn't need to as there was overhead space available. I paid for a seat towards the front of the plane and it didn't recline. I requested a refund and they declined to give me one.

I have to congratulate Kayak (and Dylan the Chatdeal agent) because because when we decided extended our trip in Florida by two days, there were many direct flights oprions back to Boston available on the Friday we wanted to fly on the JetBlue website, but once I canceled the original JetBlue flight on their website, those direct return options disappeared immediatley! I think it's a game JetBlue plays. . Luckily, I checked Kayak and they had a direct flight that wasn't appearing on JetBlue's website and so I booked it, and we were able to fly home direct through the Kayak booking when JetBlue was offering nothing (even though I have been a True Blue member for 20 years, and also am a Mosaic member). So much for loyalty- their algorithm for booking is like a shell game. JetBlue used to be a good company but now they're worse than anyone. Also I was originally booked this trip to Florida, two months before the departure date, I booked the trip on JetBlue's website and then after the payment part, they said there was a problem and that I needed to do the booking again, so when I immediately went to rebook , the price had gone up 30%! I called them and it sounded like they had heard this so many times before and the guy told me to check back in 10 minutes and the price would be back to where it was when I was booking- it but it never was. How could the price go up 30% in one minute two months before the flight???? They're playing a game with their customers. Anyways, I booked a cheaper flight then at a less convenient time. So fast forward two months the night before the 7 AM flight, they sent me an email at midnight when I was sleeping to let me know that my flight at 7 AM had been canceled. The only thing they offered was a flight that night from from a different airport (Providence) to a different airport in Florida (West Palm Beach) or a flight two days later. No compensation, nothing. They couldn't of tried to get another plane to the Boston airport? They had all night to do it. I passed on their ridiculous options and flew with Delta and it was a great experience. Of course, I had to pay a lot more booking on the same day, but JetBlue doesn't care. I put in a lengthy complaint with the agent who assured me someone would get back to me by email within three days and I haven't heard a thing. JetBlue used to be a good company but now they're among the worst. The only thing they still have is decent legroom, but the corporate bean counters will probably start taking that away too.

We were made to wait in the airport for six hours for a flight that was ultimately canceled.

Both flights were significantly delayed. The flight experience itself was great.

My flight got delayed and eventually canceled, then rescheduled. I and several others had a connection from Boston to Paris and asked several times if we would make it. They assured us we would and then rebooked us mid flight without our consent and closed doors early even though they said they communicated we were a bit delayed. We got stranded in Boston and I opted with being rebooked for a different connection to France since they refused to pay for a Hotel. I've now been in Europe for 5 days and still haven't recieved my bags. There was absolutely no urgency for the fact that I'm in a foreign country with absolutely no change of clothes or any of my medication. Such an overwhelming and frustrating experience.

Automated scanning was slow and somewhat haphazard. Too many people were unfamiliar with the tech and were forced to learn on the fly. The hands off approach of the gate staff made it more uncomfortable. This needs work. Overall the flight and cabin crew were excellent.

The crew for the flight was A+ top notch. They were friendly and professional and made the flight a very relaxing and enjoable.

Rude crew member. She seemed annoyed at me without me saying a single word. Also loudly admonished me for having my bag next to my seat instead of tucked away before landing. Just telling me to put it away and guiding me without giving me a lecture would have been enough.

The gate got changed several times and the flight was delayed over an hour. Awful experience

American continues to decline in their customer service and its beyond disappointing.

It was an older plane. First Class was not especially roomy or comfortable. It was a short flight so there were no meal but they did offer mixed nuts which used to be normal but now is rare. Crew member was very polite and professional.

Flight to Tampa was delayed taking off due to plane arriving late but no other issues

As previously stated the delay I experienced flying from Wichita to Chicago caused a host of issues. When I finally was able to be booked on the last remaining American flight from Chicago to Cincinnati, the gate changed four times with the last change occurring very near the scheduled boarding time. While I didn't have a problem moving from gate to gate, I did notice and make note of others that had mobility issues and had to move each time for the gate change.

Maintenance took a very long time and then we were in a holding pattern. While a one-off maintenance issue is standard, there were delays on both of my flights for this trip based on maintenance issues with the planes, which delayed both flights over 45 minutes. Thankfully, I didn't have any connections but it wasn't an experience that would make me pick AA if I have other options.

No Snacks or Entertainment. The flight was short, snacks should still be given.

See prior comment about how Kayak mishandled my reservation and delayed my arrival by 6 hours.

The flight was fine. It's the satellite terminal that supports American eagle flights is what sucks. There is only one food option and everything there is way overpriced. I mean I know it's airport pricing, but it's even crazier than that. I bought a sandwich in a plastic container for $18.

Boarding delayed 20 minutes for no reason, no wifi, in flight entertainment, or snacks / waters?

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 !!!!!!!

It was costly and difficult to check in. $85 to take a small suitcase with me, carry on or checked and $75 on the return trip, Plus $25 if I didn't check my self in check in $25, because I couldn't do it on the kiosk. Small very uncomfortable seats, waited on the runway for near an hour each way. It was my worst flight to date.

Due to weather, my flight was delayed, further delayed, then canceled. I eventually got through to a support person who helped me find a different route out of MSP, but to get to DIA, they didn't want to, but eventually did help with the connection ticket purchase. But even this replacement flight was delayed time and time again, and I would have missed my connecting flights and I didn't want to get stuck in a layover city, so after 12 hours at the airport with two young boys who were very tired, we just cancelled our plans and spent the week at home, instead of Nana's.

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

I knew going into this that Frontier, being a low cost carrier, would be pretty bare bones and charge for most extras but this was made up for by the fact that the airplane was a reasonably new Airbus, every employee was great and best of all, Everett Washington is an amazing airport - thanks Frontier for flying there!!!

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.

Seats were new and comfortable. Staff was fine. Missed my connection due to weather -which wasn’t their fault- but got no help at all. Gate staff sent me to customer service, which was and stayed unstaffed. Sign with QR code directed me to call or chat. Chat was useless. Call was returned after an hour. No itinerary offered by Frontier could get me home in less than 30 hours. Rebooked with another airline and got a partial refund that came to about 10 percent of what I paid to get home.

The experience was good. No frills but I got there safe and sound and on time.

As every law enforcement agency I could imagine surrounded the plane and we didn’t disembark for 2 hours and then had to stick around for another hour to go get our personal belongings after leaving them behind and being bused away from the plane, it was scary and inconvenient. We were given no information as to why this was happening. Lack of communication with passengers was disappointing.

Frontier Airlines was AWFUL. I was an hour early for my flight and the lady refused to check me in. I had to purchase a whole new ticket with a different airline.
