Find Cheap Flights from Chicago to Fort Myers SW Florida Intl (CHI - RSW)

Flying first class, but I paid for that so doesn't say anything about the airline.

Leaving late and then waiting 1 hour for luggage to reach the carousel in Fort Meyers. Because two other flights were at the same airport at the same time. For example, they knew three flights would land at a certain time ( at the time they were scheduled to arrive) and then somehow the ground crew was surprised.

FAs were so pleasant, so different than usual, that it reminded me of the good old days. They were also more attentive than usual.

AA's domestic IFE product is generally an embarrassment - they seem to think it's still 1995. No choices in first class? Come on... Pleasantness of the FAs more than made up for this.

The flight

All good

Faster, no problem with cabin pressure

On time.

The plane took off about a half hour late because they switched our gate at the time we were supposed to start boarding. Everyone had to be moved from one end of the terminal to the other.

Flight got canceled just minutes before boarding time due to mechanical plane issues so we were told and no other flights were available until January 1 which was my schedule date to return home.

The flight was smooth and the interior was new. Very nice.

Due to aircraft change my wife and daughter and I were split up. We were able to get two seat together after a long phone call the evening prior to the flight. When we arrived at the airport we ended up with the original two, plus a separated third seat.

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

Hours

Snacks

Not good movie available

Landed early and gate open. Great trip all over he way even though in a middle seat

Direct flight

Crammed small seats so close together felt like a sardine in a can.. Also no complimentary beverage threw me off when I had to take medicine to get my blood sugar down & discovered if I wanted water it was Going to cost me $3.00.. Also thought $50 for my tiny little rolling duffle bag was way overpriced .. The only reason I never take it on as a carry-on is because I have very Bad back and don't want to haul it I will never fly spirit again if i can avoid it

I arrived at the gate 20 minutes before it was scheduled to leave and they had given my seat away. And this after I had paid an additional $120 in order to have the privilege of having a carry-on to a flight I never got to actually take.

It was an A320 Airbus, not a tiny commuter jet.

The staff is not friendly. The snack options are subpar at best. They nickel & dime you to death. I'm surprised there wasn't a fee to use the bathroom. Overall very unprofessional. I'd rather fly on American, and that's saying something...

Flight attendants were very attentive to my boyfriend because he was singing Christmas carols

Service was poor. The seats did not recline which does not work well for a tall girl

Left 3 hours late.

The gate agent helped half a dozen people (not including those described below) understand they were boarding with the wrong group.

Fully one-quarter of the passengers boarded as disability or premium. This included a party of eight that boarded with one person in a wheelchair because "We're all together."

boarding and gate agent were superb

temperature in the cabin was hot enough to roast a turkey

Seats, video and overall comfort are all very nice on the new 900's.

Nothing.

The in flight entertainment and the pilot being informative about what was going wrong at the Atlanta airport.

The insane process that followed the flight of rebooking - it would have been VERY HELPFUL to have access to the inflight internet so that I could have rebooked my missed connection before we landed in the ATL airport where it was past midnight and there were hardly any staff available for us to talk to and the lines to speak to anyone took literal HOURS to get through.

crew was great

staff from de-icing company failed to show, despite >24h of notice of snow; missed our connection baggage handlers destroyed suitcase

Row 19 on a 737ER is great for room, as long as you don't plan on reclining (I rarely do in a daytime flight)

A little overcautious regarding seating the cabin crew because of possible turbulence, but better safe than sorry, I suppose. However, it is a common occurrence on this particular leg, so don't board knowing you might need to take a "break" before you get to Atlanta.

On Time, polite smiling crew, happy passengers, overall excellent.

Delay

The seating was very good and so was the flight

coffee was good

Only got to serve it once due to turbulence
