The entire crew were wonderful but 1 flight attendant stood out with his sense of humor on the microphone. I told him as much as I exited the plane.

They did not fix the wifi that they knew was an issue on an earlier flight. The flight was filled with business people that were clearly frustrated not being able to work. That can’t happen on a 3 1/2 hour flight. Would rather have been delayed a bit.
The WiFi did not work three hours of productivity lost. 15 people from the firm were on the flight. Loss of revenue
Very rude stewardess; there was a senior citizen woman next to me who asked the stewardess for help getting her purse out of the overhead bin, and it was as though she asked the stewardess for $1M . . . . I was shocked how rude that stewardess was. The stewardess also refused to get the senior citizen woman a drink about half way thru the flight, telling her that we were almost landing . . . . that stewardess made my flight (and in particular the flight of the senior citizen next to me) very uncomfortable
Overall good experience...exception: very cold temp in teh cabin.
I liked how it boarded fast. I do not like how the seats are just too narrow, and I’m not a big person.
Stop asking fir people to check carry on and then bind are free. Then the wait to get your luggage is ridiculous. This particular flight came with a 45 min wait, after waiting in tarmac waiting for a gate inhaling jet exhaust. And how about those landings?! Do the pilots not know the earth is coming up under the descending plane?! This is the only airline I get sick on. Every. Time.
Fairly good - the seats seemed more comfortable on this flight. The staff out of Detroit were quite friendly. But they directed us to the wrong carousel for luggage. :(
Southwest's seats are the least comfortable I have ever sat in.
Southwest is a discount airline. I get it. You take the (usually) good pricing with the bad (cramped). But Southwest is becoming more and more like the cut-rate airlines *cough* Spirit *cough*. It used to actually be a fun experience. e.g. paying for WiFi is bad enough - having to pay for it on each leg of a flight is ridiculous. Yes, I've seen your numbers that it only "impacts a small percentage", but you and I both know that is misleading at best. While I used to try to fly SW exclusively when flying domestically, now I'll look elsewhere very frequently and price being equal (or close) I'm going to the other carriers.
Great quik boarding, friendly gate agent and crew. Let early
We sat at the gate for over 30 minutes, with no indication as to why
All was fine. Small plane so no food or entertainment.
Very aggressive at the boarding area of only allowing one person passed a line/ sign
Delayed 7 hours Crew and employees were nice Extra long flight but at least we got in
I love how the flight crews are now saying what the weather will be like, when we can expect to be able to get up and use the restrooms etc. I have to say also that our flight crews this trip were incredible - fast and courteous - and somehow managed to do the service even on these short flights with a few bumps. The only reason for an ok rating on entertainment was because these short flights are on planes without seatback displays but that's ok because I just download shows on my iPhone beforehand.
Our flight from Detroit to LaGuardia on Thursday 8/20 was delayed from 555 to 910 due to storms and a ground stop at LGA. It’s never fun to be stuck at the airport but I thought the desk crew and captain handled it well and kept us informed. I especially liked how they referred to us as their “LaGuardia family.” I am a loyal delta customer and this is one of the reasons why.
The plane is old. There was water dripping fown from the air cooling system. The toilets were mot that clean
The meal tray was not usable it was completely uneven
Staff is friendly and helpful but flight was delayed by one hour from Detroit, making for tight window in Toronto to clear Canada Customs and pass through security screening in order to get to connecting flight on time.
Quinoa chocolate cookies are my favorite! Would be nice to have internet service like American
This flight is a quick way to get to Chicago, but a bit expensive.
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.
Not good - outbound flight was delayed and missed my connection even though I got to the gate after running through the airport - the agent would not let me on because the door was closed (flight had not left). There was no notification from United - overall experience was very disappointing. Additionally, I was downgraded from first class to coach on the alternative flight
My experience on this United Airlines flight was highly uncomfortable, primarily due to two issues: Cabin Temperature: The temperature on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was unacceptably high, feeling consistently around 80 degrees throughout the flight. This made sleeping impossible and significantly detracted from the experience. Seating Arrangement: Being stuck in a middle seat for a six-and-a-half-hour overnight flight compounded the discomfort. Moving forward, I will always purchase a seat assignment to avoid this situation.
I liked that the flight was nonstop from ORD to CIU for $200 round trip.
Some sort of compensation for missing work because of a cancelled flight that was United’s fault
I was told we'd have a hot breakfast option in first class, so I chose not get a hot breakfast. It was a very strange meal, but the fresh fruit was very good quality. Service was excellent from ORD to ELP. No service from MBS to ORD, not even water. However, when flying American from FNT to ORD, which is a shorter flight, they at least pass out snacks and offer water.
Staff friendly and app worked really well. Modest delays were frustrating
I had very little time to change planes originally in Denver after my flight from Omaha. I had an hour and a half layover in Denver originally and my flight leaving Omaha was delayed an hour because they had to change a tire, which I can understand. When I reached Denver my other flight was late, fortunately, but I still had only 10 minutes to run about a mile through the airport to get to my flight. Again, fortunately, I am a healthy 71-year-old and was able to accomplish this feat. However, the stress was more than necessary to bear.
Nice plane, with TV, comfortable seats and leg room. Updated regularly on time changes
see my previous response about being kicked off the flight and having to fly the next day, ruining a planned vacation tour.
You should have had Wifi to make it much enjoyable.
The crew for the flight was A+ top notch. They were friendly and professional and made the flight a very relaxing and enjoable.
The flight departed more than 1 hour late. Leg room is bigger than most airlines
terrible. Because I felt very unwell during the flight. How do they leave a woman alone in the middle of 2 men? an obese man who was falling on top of me.
Flight was delayed by almost 5 hours. Suitcase was not loaded despite the flight being near empty (my colleagues’ suitcases did reach JFK, unlike mine). Had to argue on phone to get JetBlue to deliver the case to my hotel. Never again
Great. Loved that there was WiFi on flight to keep in touch and excellent service of beverages and snacks.
I booked this flight using JetBlue points and I was just so happy. The plane was so clean, I had every need met. Thank you!!
One of the worst experience. People from Saudi in general show nasty attitudes. They act like they own us. Or the world is theirs. Rude behaviors aren't acceptable. They have a bad accident and don't even know how to speak properly but they blame me for that and makes fun of me and laughs when I said I'm going to BANGLADESH.
I sat in seat 22D near the back right of the plane. My phone battery was getting low, so I plugged my charger into the power outlets below the seats in front of me. They did not work. When I asked the flight attendant whether this was the case for the whole plane he said, "No. It's only this one. It hasn't worked for months". This should be noted to whomever services this plane so that maintenance can fix this for future passengers. I was on Flight AA5614 from Grand Rapids to Philadelphia on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
The passenger in front of of me reclined their seat back all the way the entire flight. Their headrest was in my face the entire flight! I barely had room for the little plastic cup of water to fit on my tray table; can you make the seats and space between the rows any smaller??? You can’t even get up to use the restroom! Worst flight I’ve had in a very long time!
I was on a small regional flight from Detroit to Philadelphia. When we landed the outside cruise needed to turn something off with the engine, which took quite a long time. Then, when they allowed us to get off the plane it was outside. They took their time, unloading all the luggage and waited till they unloaded all the luggage before they brought it over to us. It was 9 o’clock at night freezing cold out, and there was no proactive hustle to try to get people their luggage. It was really one of the worst experiences I think I’ve ever had with American until a manager came over. I don’t think they were going to even consider pulling the luggage over to the people that had been waiting outside for at least 10 minutes in the freezing cold.
It was a good trip. Flight Attendants were friendly and responsive.
They should have allowed for extra time to de-ice the plane before boarding passengers. This delayed us about 10-15 mins after we boarded. Overall experience was fine. Crew was friendly and on top of everything. We didn’t have any issues during the flight.
The trip was very smooth and they provided great customer service
It was on time, which is always a good thing. There wasn’t any food hence my okay rating.
It was a crazy day with a lot of delays and gate changes. Not a huge fan of the Charlotte hub at all.
We have been delayed and postponed 2days and nights…and still do not have our flight until tomorrow..
American Airlines is awful!! Will never fly with them again. Connection flight left early leaving 22 people in Charlotte with no way to get to Key West for 24 hours. Would not provide hotel or any other accommodations. Bags were delayed two days.
