No gluten free snacks. Seats felt worn or bare bones even though it was a new 737 MAX 8.

No gluten free snacks. Seats felt worn or bare bones even though it was a new 737 MAX 8.

Boarding was easy. The seats are small and fairly uncomfortable

The boarding and seat assignment system no longer works for me, but I know it is being replaced. Otherwise, I am good with the overall experience.

San Diego airport is brand new, spacious, airy and very smooth checkin at SW baggage drop.

Very smooth checking in our luggage with a super pleasant SW agent. I enjoyed a fun entertaining movie.

Great flight, 47 passengers on a 180 seat plane. Stewardess was pleasant and cheerful.

Fine, but how to board on SW versus othrr airlines, is just lame. Goood staff though and all was solid otherwise.

Everything went well, but the flight was delayed multiple times. The delays were only minutes, but it was without information on why it was delayed.

Multiple delays, poor communication of information and a 4 hour delay with multiple gate changes ...

No problems with the flight, my issue is with the terminal at SAN airport. I’ve never seen a dirtier, worse equipped terminal. No power plugs worked, but you could of course buy a fuel rod battery from the kiosk (seemingly the only thing that worked).

The flight was over 2 hours late.. once we finally got boarded things were fine

Good flight. Connector flight was delayed so made a short turnaround in Atlanta which was stressful. Otherwise, great crew, Staff in ATL was very informative about the delay and ensured people their connections were fine. Notified the ones that were not. Great communication.

Seat was extremely hard which made even a short 1 hour 20 minute flight fairly uncomfortable.

Only water, tea or coffee served midflight, even to comfort seating. Man next to me needed two seats and took up a portion of my seat and Delta did nothing.

Delta made it easy, comfortable and timely. The crew was fantastic.

Zero updates from the pilots for 30 minutes in the tarmac

Delta flight attendants poorly managed the boarding process and overhead storage. My bag was checked last minute and no claim ticket was provided. My bag is now lost. Complete incompetence by all flight crew involved.

We were told our second flight was canceled, but it was not. We did not receive our bags for two days. I did not have my meds, so I was very sick for the first three days. Our house rental was $5700 for the week. Do the math. It will be difficult for us to fly Delta again.

3 hours late and all they have is was a $12 meal voucher. That’s not even enough to cover fast food.

Crew was not helpful. Other passengers in first class were over served blatantly over intoxicated.
