Find cheap flights from Grand Rapids to District of Columbia

Pros: "Crew was nice and friendly"
Cons: "The economy seats in an A321 are uncomfortable and there is very limited legroom."

Cons: "I had a flight with a connection starting at 6 PM on a Monday. At 5 AM the day of the flight I received notification that the first flight would be delayed, making connection impossible, I was prompted to select another flight to arrive to my destination. I chose a flight with a connection staring at 7 PM. Upon getting on the first flight we began to prepare for takeoff. After about 30 minutes the pilot notified us that we would be delayed 40 minutes because we had nowhere to land at my connection airport. I realized at that point that I would possibly miss my connection, which was scheduled at 10:20 PM. However, I did arrive at the connection airport around 9:40 PM which would have given just enough time to arrive at the connection gate. Unfortunately, upon arrival to the connection airport the pilot informed us that we would have no gate to de-board the plane. The pilot stated that all connections "were aware of our delay" and gave us the gates for each connection. I got off the plane at 10:15 PM and ran to my connection gate arriving exactly at 10:20. The gate attendants informed me that my flight had left, my bags were on the way to my destination city and that I would need to spend the night in the connection city. The attendants, appeared disinterested and impolite but upon prompting provided us with a hotel voucher for the night. The next day we arrived at the airport 2 hours before boarding and waited at the gate. When it was near the time for departure we were informed that the plane had been downgraded and requests were made for some to give up their seats for a later flight or check carryon bags to make room for other passengers. While some lined up to give up their seats and bags, those who chose to remain on the original flight were forced to wait before boarding the plane. We were then told that we would have to wait until the pilot and crew arrived before boarding. Scheduled departure time was 5:46 PM but the time got pushed back until we boarded around 6:30, departure was rescheduled to 6:50 PM. We boarded the plane and waited for departure but a few minutes later the pilot informed us that "he just got here" and that there were mechanical problems that would cause further delay. After an hour we were informed that the plane was not able to fly and instructed to go to another gate for another plane. Departure time got rescheduled to 8:30 PM. The plane departed after 9 PM and arrived at 10:30 PM for a 5:46 PM scheduled departure."

Pros: "Missed connecting flight because of late plane."
Cons: "To be in the plane instead of being placed on standby."

Cons: "we boarded on time and were on tarmac for over an hour and a half with no explanation, no beverages."

Pros: "The Delta staffed were friendly and greeted me with a smile."
Cons: "The temperature on the plane kept going in and out. It was warm most of the trip. The lady that was sitting in front of me talked on her phone until the plane went up in the sky. She would hide it when the flight attended passed by."

Cons: "Food offered in first"

Pros: "I like having the adjustable head rests."
Cons: "There was no window in the back row of seats, which was claustrophobic. The seat rows are too close together, that it was hard to focus on the movie on the seatback in front of me. My seat didn't recline at all."

Pros: "No delays. Easy boarding."

Pros: "Internet access. Waiting area at JFK with charging stations for every seat and a tablet to order food & drink."

Pros: "Customer service on the phone."
Cons: "Delays all day on delta. On my way out and on the return flight."

Cons: "The coffee could’ve tasted better."

Cons: "The person next to me"

Pros: "The crew onboard was very good."
Cons: "My 4 year old daughter and I were not seated together and I was told that a 4year old could not sit alone yet Delta refused to move anyone. Instead I had to get on board and beg someone to please wait h seats with us."

Pros: "Early boarding for Seniors"
Cons: "Limited food"

Pros: "The efficiency of having my boarding pass on my phone (Apple Wallet). The Kayak and Delta apps streamlined perfectly and I was able to check in and pay for luggage through Kayak! I just need to do better at checking my phone due to both apps sending me updates about flight delays and luggage locations"
Cons: "Lack of space from being confined to the middle seat but the passengers next to me were nice and the plane ride was over before I realized it."

Cons: "There was no rhyme nor reason for who boarded first"

Pros: "Great crew"
Cons: "AC was not working properly and it was very hot and miserable trip"

Pros: "Great service by gate operators."
Cons: "TSA process"

Cons: "There really needs to be a way the airlines can better make seating assignments. I was in a window seat and the woman in the middle seat was so large that her arms took all of the arm rest and some of my seat area. Even crossing my arms I was unable to not have her arm up against me."

Pros: "Arrived safely"
Cons: "Crew arrived late from Buffalo (?!?!) so our 7:59 flight didn’t start boarding until very close to that time. That delay, as Delta well knows, dominoed into LGA’s ATC issues and resulted in an arrival at DCA well after our scheduled arrival."

Pros: "Thanks to Angel in the ATL airport who helped ensure I had a more comfortable flight. He was very kind and I appreciated his help."

Pros: "The seats."
Cons: "In typical Delta fashion they boarded, deplane, board it again and then beat the plane. Blamed it on weather even though a full maintenance crew was beneath the plane in the entire time and, for the coup de gras moved a new flight an hour later 30 gate down. Classic Delta hopefully they'll be out of business in a year"

Cons: "Delta is terrible!!! $100 extra for everything!!! Terrible!!"

Pros: "The movie availability was very much appreciated."
Cons: "Although my TSA Pre check number was on my flight coming into Atlanta, it wss not on my fight leaving Atlanta. That caused me to arrive at my gate 5 mins before boarding time and prevented me from having time to eat breakfast before my flight."

Pros: "Easy boarding, not a full flight, had plenty of room to stretch out, friendly flight crew, extra snacks!"
Cons: "Not much to say I didn't like, few problems with in-flight WiFi but otherwise good."

Cons: "Being late"

Pros: "Movie selection was great!"

Pros: "Delta captain was very personable, kept us up to date when a slight delay was necessary."
Cons: "It took over 20 minutes to check our bags. Given that we paid $150 to "upgrade" to Economy Comfort for a ONE HOUR flight, it would have been nice if DAL enabled us to check in with Sky Priority."

Pros: "Service of all the flight staff, smooth flight, and early arrival. Staff was very courteous and helpful"
Cons: "Nothing really. It was an uneventful flight with good service"

Cons: "The plane was late to JFK and then we had to wait for them to deboard and prepare for us to get one. Now we are in DCA and we can’t even get to our gate for another 10 mins"

Pros: "The professionalism of Delta employees, timeliness of flt."

Pros: "The flight was uneventful and although we took off late, we arrived on-time."
Cons: "The rows of seats are so tight that when the big guy in the seat in front of me leaned back (not even putting his seat back) his seat banged into my knees. A combination of cheap seats and too many seats. Made for a very uncomfortable flight."

Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "The cost of the ticket"

Cons: "Airline food is just so inadequate in every way."

Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "DCA poorly organized"

Pros: "I've been flying Spirit lately to save money, so know that this is my comparison.

Pros: "Security was efficient and quick. Customs was expedited. Both flights, take off and landings, were smooth!"

Pros: "The people seated to the left and right of me."
Cons: "United 'nickel and dimes' you for everything. Baggage, but the worst is the space between rows. Just horribly uncomfortable. Money hungry corporate greed. $7.99 for the equivalent of an Egg McMuffin. You think the big airlines would learn from Southwest airlines. I'll avoid United as much as I can in the future."

Pros: "Excellent service ample legroom"

Pros: "Poor experience sitting in the seats right in front of emgency exit. I’m not that tall at 5’11’ and sitting straight up I had 1 inch between my knees and seat in front with no ability to recline."

Pros: "Flexibility in changing reservation at the last minute. Excellent service on board, good food."

Pros: "Not happy with all the changes that happened without notice not to mention the disrespect on board"
Cons: "Substandard service"

Cons: "My passport was held up because of the Government shutdown and I was treated poorly about trying to change my ticket. I now can’t go because I can’t afford to change ticket and the waiver documents I need to do so sounds like it’s just another excuse from the airline for not honoring my ticket. I can’t go now because of passport, but I can’t go because I am unable to buy another ticket"

I found out i was charged for 2 glasses instead of one. To top it off the co-worker i was traveling with didn’t get charged due to the inconvenience and delay. i travel a lot with United (higher status than him) and would have liked that offer (and not get charged one i didn’t order) being a mileage plus and credit card holder. I did go on line and ask for a credit and they did make it right and give me a credit."

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Small plane"

Cons: "All was good. Nice easy trip!"

Pros: "Straightforward and down to business."
Cons: "Give us all a free beverage, please!"

Cons: "I was charged an extra $45 dollars from Denver to DC for my hand luggage. I had previously checked in another luggage from Vegas at the same cost. This meant i had to pay a total of $90 plus the travel cost, which was very unfortunate and very costly. Such communication of anticipated cost on hand luggage was not shared prior to the trip. This was very disappointing and clearly made my entire trip very frustrating. I would not consider using the services ever again."

Cons: "The interior needs a good cleaning. I mean scrub. Really"

Cons: "No leg room"

Cons: "Um, what entertainment?"

Cons: "Late and cramped."

Cons: "No inflight entertainment."

Cons: "It hasn't left yet and you do not know that."

Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "The check-in agent screwed up our boarding passes and neglected to include our pre-check designation. TERRIBLE luggage and seat selection options. The price indicated is likely at least $100 less than you will end up paying. Rude staff and terrible organization at the check-in and boarding areas too, likely because so many customers are furious at the lack of transparency regarding seating and luggage."

Cons: "Everything"

Pros: "cheap ticket"
Cons: "- Trays were about 10 inches wide and 5 inches deep - which provides no value whatsoever. You can't place anything on it b/c it's not big enough. - Chairs were short so I had nothing to rest my head on. - Cramped isle space"

Pros: "They gave us a $10 voucher to use in IAD while we waited...for 6.5 hours."
Cons: "The delay seemed like it could have been prevented with a better computer system; we paid for our bags ahead and others didn't have to pay when we checked in because the system was down, no offer for a refund on that."

Cons: "Once you add all of the additional expenses, Frontier is just as expensive as other airlines, but with less comfort and amenities. I've flown with them twice and they have been tremendously frustrating on both occasions. Never again."

Cons: "Let people know about their carry on luggage charges!"

Pros: "Everyone was nice once we were on board"
Cons: "Our well-working plane was clearly given to another group, and all we were told was that we had a gate change that then turned into a 2h delay for mechanical problems. If you're giving the broken plane to us because the other passengers have a connection and we don't, say that, don't just act like nothing changed. Also, it's been a while since I rode Frontier and I really disliked the dinky trays and poorly arranged under-seat storage."

Cons: "Baggage for 2 pieces of luggage $75.00 then a gimmicky Visa card to earn miles not cost effective"

Pros: "NONSTOP"
Cons: "ADD-ON FEES MADE PRICE UNECONOMICAL BY COMPARISON. COULD'T USE MY TSA PER-CHECK AUTHORIZATION."

Cons: "more than 2 hrs late"

Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "Horrible space No comp beverage No wifi No magazine Delayed"

Cons: "3hour delay."

Pros: "It felt very simple and non complex, unlike other airlines where they make the process of traveling a long and tumultuous process. Bravo Frontier!"
Cons: "There was a Lady checking in people at the gate who had questioned many customers of whether their carry-on would fit, it seemed to bother many guests because they didn't want to be charged extra."

Cons: "Paying extra for EVERYTHING. Will never travel with Frontier again."
