Cathay was not the problem. The problem was the customer service from Kayak/Underprice. Will never book through Kayak again.

Cathay was not the problem. The problem was the customer service from Kayak/Underprice. Will never book through Kayak again.

The crews were smiling all the time with soft tunes when they spoke; the food was excellent. Thank you!

Bathroom was not cleaned as often as other airlines does. It was gross for a less than full flight capacity.

Rarely saw a flight attendant. Never received what I wanted from drink service. Twice I was told they would return with my order. I never saw the flight attendant again. I has requested a Moslem meal. I did not receive. It

From BOS to HK, the crew had pushed me to choose the pasta for meal multiple times. It was a bad experience. Without this, everything was good.

From Chicago to Hong Kong was great., but from Hong Kong to manila we had hard time looking for the gate of our connecting flight. There wasn’t hardly any sign.

Cathay Pacific helps me with the planning due to weather delays. Well planed flights.

Flight crew went above and beyond to make sure the flight was enjoyable for us!

Both my husband and I ordered the fish for dinner and we both got sick and throwing up on the plane. I don’t think the seafood was handled properly and I for sure will not order fish the next time around.

Im now late to my appointment because of delayed flight

I still prefer Delta, but Delta doesn’t fly to State College PA.

Everything was fantastic. Modern plane. All the amenities! Although the paid snacks and meals are pure robbery. Like i understand airlines need to make money, but 11$ USD for an overnight oats with some nuts in it and barely any pieces of apple.... Highway robbery

United needs to figure out its Economy PLUS standards; its better than economy but that's not saying much. It seems like United stripped away all the basics for an international flight (such as In Seat entertainment) and repackaged some of them as plus. Would not fly United internationally again.

The flight was bumpy. No Breakfast or coffee was served, not even a bottle of water. The food was okay but odd. Rice with peas instead of couscous with some unknown green thing. United Airlines did not tell me that there was VERY LIMITED HANDICAP SERVICE IN NAPLES. De-plane via 20 aluminum steps. Taken to Van. You must walk into the terminal, find luggage, and then walk out to the rental car pickup spot that is 1 block from the terminal.

Crew did their best but the plane configuration is too tight if you're bigger than an average sardine. Controls for the entertainment system didn't all work. The aircraft hadn't been cleaned in awhile.

Flight was delayed due to weather and clogged toilet. Had to deplane. Flight was 3 hours delayed. Crew was awesome and offered water and snacks.

Didn't make it dir to delays - no support from United staff

Horrible! I paid for a straight flight from Chicago to London. A week before trip it changed and now I had a connecting flight. Our flight was delayed an hour and a half because our flight crew was still flying in from CA. Forty passengers ran from one plane to the next. The next United Airlines flight was delayed two to three hours because of mechanical difficulties. They had to ready another plane which took time. I missed my scheduled excursion in London. 😢

My flight was delayed for a whole day, so I lost a day of my vacation.

United cancelled the flight after a 2 hour delay. The only choice was a 24 hour delay which was then 3 hours delayed.

I had a TERRIBLE experience with the AA crew. I believe it was disability-related. It’s unlikely I will fly AA again.

Baby cried a lot. Nothing anyone could do about it. Just part of flying.

The flight crew was fantastic! Which the seats had a small TV.

The flight was delayed till next day ! They kept delaying every 30 minutes then after 3 hours they delayed it till next day. We kept waiting in line standing more than an hour to get the hotel and meal vouchers. There was no communication at all. Everything was bad

Smoothe flight. Pilot and crew did a great job. Uncomfortable seat in this jet, felt worn out

seats were way too small. Too short of a flight to offer amenities.

The main problem was delay. The plane was at the gate early and bags were loaded. However, there was no crew for the flight. They were inbound from LGA and had to land and make their way to our gate. It took more than 40 minutes. Then, once the crew arrived and boarded, one of the crew members had to deplane and then a replacement crew member had to be found. It took another 40 minutes or so to get the final crew member. In all, we took off about 2 hours later than our scheduled departure time. Once in the air, the flight was great. Smooth most of the way. The crew was professional and efficient.

Perfect flight. Efficient boarding, on time take off and early arrival. Generally smooth flight.

American is a steady for me. I always get what I expect from them. Sincere effort to get me from one place to another.

BAD. As a family could not sit together. The gate agent told us there was only one seat in the middle left, when we got on the plane the situation was very different with whole rows of seats empty

Fantastic. Had handicapped traveler and they helped us through security, helped with boarding, helped put wheelchair together, and were all very patient. A pleasant change from previous spirit flights I’ve taken. Highly recommend.

Really nice, flight attendants were so helpful with me and my kids. Extremely grateful, keep up the good work and spirit :)

They lost my luggage on a direct non-stop flight.

I liked the low price. I did not like the cramped passenger seats. As a below average size person I was cramped in the seat; I can only imagine how uncomfortable an average or large size person would be. I guess that is part of the deal with low cost airlines.

Very clean and new airplane. The internet purchase was not worth the money requested

LA to Seattle was a smooth process. Seattle to LA was delayed more Than 6hrs

Spirit's seating does not work for an overnight flight and my back is killing me. This airline does not meet the minimum standards for being an airline.

I could not print my boarding passes and had to see an agent. However, the agents were very friendly and helpful.

It just baffled me that spirit boarding process that I was charged 2 check in fees for a person bag and carry on. I ended up lugging 3 kids under 10 with 2 bags and to find out at the boarding area that I could not get on the plane due to my lack of reading the baggage policy. I understand if that was the case but the agent also failed to understand one item was in fact a personal item such as laptop bag and charge me as if it was a carry on not personal item. And knowing it’s a horrible storm and last flight in the destination of travel. I could have very easily handed the items to my relative to keep but I didn’t learned about this enforced policy until I was about to board.

Paid extra for a “comfy seat” which was anything but!

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.

Allowed me to chose my seat without extra charge (I purchased full-price ticket) and boarding was in group1. Didn't even serve water.

I went to the Frontier counter in San Jose at 1030am or so on Sunday 10/13/24 to see if I could get an earlier flight to San Diego in lieu of my reserved 630pm flight. One thing led to another, and I was able to obtain an open seat for about $ 56. on the earlier flight. Fine. Then the agent asked if I "was checking a bag". Not knowing that carry-ons cost extra per Frontier policy, I thought that she meant a regular checked bag. Therefore, I said no. Once I got to the gate, the same gate agent who sold me a ticket told me that I had to pay $99 for a carry-on, and that all bags were extra on Frontier. Having never flown on Frontier, I was not aware of this. Part of the issue was that she was not a native English speaker, so there was a miscommunication as to what "bag" meant. I would have preferred for her to have clearly let me know at the front counter that any bag including a carry-on cost $99. It would have had the same outcome, as I had to take my carry-on. But it got hectic at the last minute at the gate itself. The baggage policy should have mentioned "including carry-ons" when we first spoke.

Canceled original flight and wasn't clear on rebooked flight. Had to pay for bags which was more than the flight itself. Normal help, drinks etc. you have to pay for. This is Not a low cost airline.

Most horrible airlines. Please avoid it. It's ok to spend $50 extra for delta, united or Alaska

There were a lot of issues every step of the process. Check in, security, boarding, and dealing with luggage. Plus the money you think you are saving you end up using in hidden fees.

The flight attendant was arguing with a passenger before takeoff. The passenger was frustrated but the flight attendant should have handled it with grace, but instead she was nasty and rude. The seats were comfortable and the flight was uneventful. I wish we didn’t have to pay for drinks or snacks but that’s what you get with a budget airline.

Stuck in Phoenix for two days, not even a hotel voucher offered.

At check in they don’t let you be with the person you are traveling with unless you pay $40 per seat . Really bad policy they have

Every day about it was very different all the boarding pass where all wrong l miss flight no refund all crazy
