$50 Find Cheap Flights from Chicago O'Hare Airport to Washington, D.C.

At time of arrival to the airport, there were plenty of kiosks open/running for checking and baggage tags. While waiting to drop my bag, a team member was checking everyone's IDs against their baggage tag to verify a match/compliance to save additional time when dropping it at the front of the line. This was actually a really big time saver and greatly appreciated! Once boarding was starting, the team member had a clear and audible voice with their announcements, with direct (yet friendly) instructions for the boarding process. Once actually boarding, the flight crew gave genuine greetings while walking on board and were very nice and attentive during the flight. The take-off and landing were one of the smoothest I've had in MANY of years. Kudos to the pilots! I literally cannot remember the last time a had such a smooth landing :D

Crew was great - friendly and helpful with boarding - letting folks know where overhead space was available thus getting us out of the gate on time.

Forget beverage, they didn't even have water for half the passangers?

Can not wait for seating change to reduce the amount of pre boards - it’s disheartening the abuse. And then then deplaning

Glad flight made it out. So many delays due to hurricane. everyone did a great job.

The flight was delayed about 20 minutes, but this was an evening flight, so it comes as no surprise. This flight came a good 1.5 days ahead of hurricane Helene which was still far out in the gulf. However, the flight never removed the seated buckle light. The staff announced from the beginning that due to the bad weather (I suppose the hurricane a day and a half away) they would have to do an abbreviated service with water and a snack. I am fine with their water and snack offering, but this was one of the smoothest flights I've had in years. If Southwest believes a flight like this requires everyone to remain seated, then all of their flights should remain buckled for the entire flight. I cannot help but wonder if things like this are a sneaky way to cut back on expenses since the airline is currently under a lot of pressure to reduce costs.

Pretty standard flight. We left late, but arrived early. The wifi entertainment is always nice. The free snacks and beverages are simple, but appreciated. I'm tall and the seats are an issue. I can deal with a short flight, but any longer, I have to find another airline where I know beforehand I have extra legroom.

They sent us to an airport way out of our way because they canceled our flight with no reason

A bit expensive for the overall service; but the flight departed on time and arrived early.

What’s best is they have free 2 check in bags. Unlike budget airlines that knocks you off with fees just for you hand carried bags

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

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.

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

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

flight delayed, was put on another flight after standby queue, luggage was misplaced and arrived to me 3 days later

The baggage handlers broke the handle on my bag that they put under the plane that I checked on the jetway. They traded it out for a less quality bag in Tulsa. But, they said they would try to fix it. Bologna! There was no fixing that bag handle. Someone didn’t care how they treated the bag.

Flighty delayed on boarding - then group 1 had to check their carry on bags but groups 3 and beyond could carry bags on - very inconvenient for weekend business trip with no checked baggage. Then delayed on the runway - before take off. No communication from pilot on why or how long. Wifi/Entertainment didn't work for 4+ flight. Upon arrival, attendants announced wrong carousel for baggage claim - everyone was waiting at the wrong place for their checked bags. This was a mess united!

There was no screens on board AND the WiFi didn’t work. My seat was broken and couldn’t recline so I couldn’t even sleep. The flight attendants didn’t offer anything to make it more comfortable. It was such an old cramped plane, when the person in front of me reclined I couldn’t even open my tray table. All the United ads talk about guaranteeing everyone gets a screen!

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

I fly almost weekly & Spirit is well worth it & Hands-down, my favorite! Out of all the airlines I fly, I often find that spirit has the cleanest planes & the most well taken care of, typically, I will look up the aircraft registration and often the planes are less than seven years old. Two weeks ago I flew on a Jet that was less than a month old. The crew are often times the most friendly in the air. For this particular flight, I had a very stressful day and was not anticipating a very wonderful flight due to the passing hurricane. We had a half hour delay once boarded due to the weather and changing flight patterns, however, as soon as we turned for the runway, the pilot battling a strong crosswind quickly throttled up and in matter of moments, we had the most peaceful flight. I think I’ve ever taken! And we were still 6 minutes early!!! The personality of the crew was wonderful, typically, for this route the passengers are a little less than desirable but they are professional & very accommodating. Because of the best prices spirit often gets jabbed, but the reality is why pay for anything you don’t need. And you certainly are not sacrificing service!

It was cancelled unexpectedly so we rented a car and drove home.

Seats had more cushion in this flight. Otherwise, I got what I paid for. Will avoid spirit airlines at all cost.

This is the first and last times I take spirit. It’s really bare bones. That old saying that everything comes at a price, that’s really applicable here.

Quick flight. But crew was late so boarding was delayed. No food or entertainment as flight was an hour so no possible eating there…flight was also delayed but I think that was the fault of SAN airport not spirit…

Everything that was available was excellent. Spacious and comfortable, with lovely and helpful crew (one was having a bit of a sour day, but that happens). We sat on the tarmac for one hour and seven minutes waiting for our gate to clear in SAN, but the pilot kept us informed and, amazingly, was very professional in not ragging on the airport (whose fault it was).

Flight was delayed 8 hours so far. Don’t expect to fly when choosing Spirit Airlines. I will happily pay more to never deal with this company again.

The first flight was delayed which would've caused me to miss the connecting flight. It wasn't the first delay of my overall trip with spirit airlines. They were both due to crew. I was offered a credit after I cancelled my newark flight, but honestly, I won't be flying with them ever again. It's absolutely ridiculous that a full refund isn't given considering it wasn't something mechanical or weather related. It's literally their own crew being late.

This airline is effective for the price you pay, do not expect anything extra at all. You have to pay extra for seat assignment , carry on luggage, food, you name it ...and even if you pay extra for better seats they do not recline.

Well, the seats were SO tiny. I’m five-foot ten-inches talk as a woman and thank god I wasn’t more than 150 pounds as I would not have fit at all. I understand there are the “big seats”for an upgrade or a blocked middle seat but I was not prepared for the size. Also, there was an incident on the plane with a man who wound up being escorted off the plane at landing by TSA… I understand this was not in the control of the flight crew BUT the flight attendants were arguing amongst themselves at the front of the plane and we could hear them. There was a flight attendant in her 50s scolding a male flight attendant for “placating the guy” that was causing a ruckus and telling him “you should have been on our side not his.” Not only was this unprofessional to do in front of passengers, but it caused anxiety in nearby people including myself. We don’t want to feel like there is a potential danger on the flight - 9/11 flashbacks. The flight crew should remain calm and I believe the male flight attendant was in the right in trying to calm the man who was an issue.

Both flights were delayed. The sizing of bags is crazy. I know it is advertised as a no frills cheaper option but it does feel like you are being extorted for money the whole way-- $20 dollars to talk to a gate agent? Charging for soda a pretzels? I don't think I will be flying Frontier again if I can help it. That said, all the staff were wonderful.

Staff members pretty horrible when boarding. No care for customers

The trip was good but the last minute changes I didn’t like because I had already talked to the attendee and they didn’t help me with my ticket I was having trouble checking in and when the time was up they help me but charge me for that and last minute luggage it was a small bag. After I was in the airplane I realized you were charging because the flight was almost empty and you have to get the money some how. Thanks for everything.

I was shocked that there is no Wi-Fi, my flight was changed and delayed multiple times. In fact, I’m still not home…

I did not like that people are purposely split ip who book at the same time because we didn’t buy seats. No other airline does that.

Frontier is definitely a good option for people traveling light or on a budget - just remember to bring your own entertainment and your own headphones if you need them.

The seats were dirty with crumbs and trash , looked it had not been cleaned up from a previous flight

Nothing about the flight was good. The crew was rude and unwilling to assist would never recommend this airline to anyone and for sure will not fly it again

The plane was very clean, the flight attendants were chipper and accommodating. It was roomy

There was extremely long wait times to check in my bags and pass through TSA. I almost missed my flights on several occasions.
