I love southwest. I can not wait until all the planes convert to the upgraded planes. I love the charging option and the newer seats. Thank you from a very loyal Southwest customer.

Friendly crew. Snacks were carb-heavy. Flight was quite delaye

The service was fine, about the same as you get on most lower end airlines. I dont understand the perks of flying them much anymore for the cost.

I've taken four flights with Southwest within the last three months and every single flight was delayed.

Smooth flights, connection, and friendly crew in the air and at the gate.

Overall great! Internet was a little slow but no other issues.

One, we were met with more than six hours of delays with no information flowing from the airline to the passenger. I had to continually refresh for updates to departure time - which changed multiple times throughout the day. Updates were never pushed to me nor was an explanation provided for the delay until this morning. Two, while they claim that "due to the short flight" no beverage service would be provided. Our flight was mostly empty. I'd think given the massive inconvenience, SW could have shared a Diet Coke and some peanuts. And BTW, SW used to always make these available on this flight back in the day. Let's be honest, this is cost savings at the customer's expense.

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.

The main issue was the quantity of the drink. The hostess gave only half cup full of the soft drink. I was thirsty and was expecting full glass like every other time.

attendents were rude and the boarding was disjointed and poor

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.

Food service was bare-bone. Better bot to have any at all rather than hand out premade coffees and cookies to random few passengers.

Seats not assigned during check-in and got last non-reclining seats next to rest room :-(

There was no internet on the flight. As an executive flying during prime business hours, having internet is critical for a smooth experience. This impacted productivity and time that will need to be spent later to do the work I could have done on flight.

Great flight and crew. Need more legroom and DO NOT allow seats to recline.

Flight was very smooth from Boston. But when we got to Houston, the gate was not open and we waited on the runway for over 30 min!!

I couldn’t give an honest evaluation, because the Houston airport has a problem and I was stand up for several hours and after a long trip from Munich I feel really very tired

Flight attendants need to know their plane. Seated in first row yesterday. The seat had about a 1 inch recline that was not adjustable. I don't appreciate being awakened to raise a seat that can't go any further forward and such a small recline is either irrelevant or the plane needs to be repaired. Not the way to treat any customer and especially the ones who have paid that level of money for the seats.

Flights was great, service and transit support was outstanding - but the food was limited and of poor quality - only a snack on the first hour for 2 hours 1/2 leg. and a light breakfast on the second 4 hour leg.

We missed our connection flying back from the Middle Wast because we were misdirected by a United employee. We had purchased first class tickets, but had to need up taking a later flight that got us in to our destination at 1:00am after a long Internatinal flight and we had to sit in the back of the plane in cramped coach seats with little padding.

typical but they have finally enhanced the wifi on some UA flights. Boy, its such a huge improvement

This flight is a quick way to get to Chicago, but a bit expensive.

Staff friendly and app worked really well. Modest delays were frustrating

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..

Turbulence was bad and flight attendants gossiped about going to the bar and dating. Could have better awareness.

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.

Airport staff was terrible, they made up excusses on how I can get to my terminal, I missed my flight then had to pay for A whole other flight! Worst experience ever, even A employee also loughed and said yea sorry for our poor training.

Terrible. Delayed my family flight for several hours affecting family plans

Flight was delayed and then my second leg was completely canceled. Had to get a refund

Plane was hot and miserable and the crew was rude!

They switched our terminal 3 times and we were delayed for four plus hours!!!

When I wanted to check in 3 hours prior to boarding time, the employees mentioned “a little over an hour delay” so I waited for an hour then I went to go look for food in the terminal and most people from that flight were in the same area looking for food. Finally I decided after food to check to see if it’s anytime closer and now it’s 2 mins until boarding closes?! What are you kidding me? I didn’t receive anything via sms about boarding now nor via email or on the intercom. I luckily made it through, barely, and then there’s no room for my carry on mind you I’m in the very first row so I had to place my purse in one further row back and my carry on sections down. Not sure who pays for better seats to get your stuff placed all over the plane but that was the worst experience I’ve ever had flying with anyone.

baggage clamed had to wait over a hour and half for all people on my flight it was terrible

Seats were extremely uncomfortable and it was very hot on the plane.

Xmas Day- Flights were on time for departure and arrival, baggage check in and boarding process were hassle free, baggage also arrived without any delay. Satisfied customer on this journey.

Boarded late, no communication as to why, a lot of turbulence
