Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews

Cons: "Stewardesses were grouchy except the one Oriental stewardess. Boarding was late. Reclining seats need to be eliminated!!! I paid $100 extra for additional 6 inches of legroom which was lost when person in front of me reclined. Kona Airport is nasty."
Pros: "Left on time or a tad bit early, arrived early."

Pros: "The crew was great. The plane was. It comfortable. There was no entertainment. Boarding was horrible. The manager was rude and made a snide comment to my husband while we were boarding.

Cons: "Manager on duty could’ve been more tactful and professional."
Pros: "Like clockwork. New plane."

Cons: "Limited space and I had a better seat Just beverage service - not even crackers offered No entertainment options Seat recline mechanism was faulty"
Pros: "Friendly curbside skycap at check in"
Cons: "I didn't realize that I was sold a "basic" ticket. No early seat assignment, last boarding group, no access to overhead stowage (didn't need it) so all bags have to be checked for extra fees, bought preferred seating just to be sure my wife and I could sit together but did not get a receipt and had trouble explaining this at curbside check in.

I've never heard of a product where you have to consume one piece in order to be allowed to consume the other you already bought. Legal basis seems very suspect. Do not fly with airfare.com and be wary of kayak vendors unfortunately."
