I enjoyed the movie selection. I’m glad I saw ahead of time to bring personal ear buds. I don’t normally have them with me and airlines used to give them out.

I enjoyed the movie selection. I’m glad I saw ahead of time to bring personal ear buds. I don’t normally have them with me and airlines used to give them out.

The best thing were the seats It was too cold most of the time. The food was poor… The eggs were runny and potatoes were cold. The last time I flew first class we had a TV screen to watch movies but not this time The last time we had free alcohol, but not this time

My seat row didn’t have tray tables which made it pretty difficult to get comfortable on a four hour flight. Good experience outside of that, though.

Would not mind having movie options an available like Delta, but is not necessary. Did not have food, so cannot appropriately rate that section.

You an Kayak offered travel insurance. I had to cancel are flights which I well say was easy an I got my money back. BUT not the travel insurance Kayak or X cover has keep the money. So why I never went on the fligt I cancel way early. I know one thing I'll never go to kayak again.

Flight attendance were good my luggage was lost . Noone really told us what happened hoping I get it back. Disappointed!!!

I was in second from last seat. My luggage was in row 15. I asked the stewardess if I could move up before the plane lands. There were 3 empty rows. She went on to explain to me, how no one was sitting there when the plane took off and there was no education on the exit doors. Blah, blah, blah. I said ok, S he kept over explaining to me. So whatever if that’s the rules. She went in the back to the other 2 stewards to tell them the entire conversation I just had with her. Not only could I hear her so could all the back rows of the plane. This was very unprofessional and inappropriate.

Service was excellent. Staff at check in cleared hurdles for me so I could travel with my service animal.

The flight was great but the return tickets were not doing well in their new format took 3 times to get through tsa, horrible last one on plane and stressing !!

Everything was perfect and you couldn’t have done anything better. Thank you!

SW can't get their wifi right. I upgrade to insure wifi service but the last two trips had intermittent service. Not worth the extra costs.

The flight was late. The crew was rude. There was no food. Cramped and uncomfortable. Nothing about this flight was good.

Southwest like most American domestic airlines, is a mediocre airline. But it is among the cheapest. Oh well.

Boarding process, crew were good. But the seats were so uncomfortable that was all I could focus on. I literally had to sit forward so that all 3 of us could fit in row. I will try to avoid Southwest in the future for any flights over 60 minutes.

Much better than the.last. flight on SW on Thanksgiving day

Boarding was quick. The flight itself was good. However, no charging ports for cell phones. Also, the food provided was just a few snacks. For a 5-hr flight, I would expect at least a sandwich.

Boarding was well explained and smooth. The flight was short, so there was no time for snacks. They did offer water or juice, though.

The flight was very short, 45 mins, therefore no snacks/drinks were provided; there should be a NA option for food and entertainment survey questions. Also, there were no charging ports onboard for cell phones. My experience was overall positive.

I love the fact that Southwest airlines has a direct flight from Honolulu to Las Vegas and Las Vegas to Honolulu. The only downside was flying on Southwest is they do not provide meals even if they charged you they do not provide meals. They do provide a free snack that consists of chips pretzels cheese and a cookie. They do serve free drink and if you book the premium flight then you get your choice of an alcoholic beverage. The seats are small so if you are not traveling with three people plan on someone sitting next to you.

The plane was not very clean. Lots of napkins and kleenex on the floor and in the seat pocket

Very good flight. Crew was great. No issues and we even arrived early.

Got rerouted from a straight flight from Orlando to Atlanta to Knoxville to a flight from Orlando to Detroit to Knoxville! Seriously!! Flight delay out of Detroit! Long day for what should have been a pretty easy travel day!

Didn't like sitting on the waiting pad for 30 minutes right after departing the gate. If you're going to do that, just don't board so people can still get up and walk around in the terminal. My luggage was damaged by the baggage handlers.

The gentleman at the gate I think his name is RIE was exceptional

Loved the crew! Sucks that we went from 1 hour and 8 minute layover to a 3 hour layover. But weather sucks like that.

Everything could have benn better. Short fly, no food, no entertainment and no wifi.

On the return flight, flight attendant Britt went out of her way to inform passengers that several of us had tight connections.

Flight late, the waited for a long time for “personal” to arrive at gate to dock the plane in Rochester. So annoying. This flight was expected, why aren’t personel available for the jet bridge?

Kayak botched up the booking, i had to call delta and fix. In the process Delta failed to honor my comfort plus seat assignment that i had previously.

First class is comfortable. Enjoyed a movie and was able to relax compared to coach.

I rated the experience "mediocre" because of the 2 hour delay in take off. This is the 4th flight from DFW on AA where there was a delay and in one of the instances (after 13 delays), the flight was cancelled. I understand weather but for the March 18th flight, there was no weather issue in Dallas or Detroit. I called Concierge Key and they were wonderful, booking me on a later flight in case my flight was cancelled. I have flown with American for many years and never has there been this consistent pattern of delays. Very disappointing.

The screens were inoperable for movies and such, but everything else was just fine

My carry on baggage was damaged. Entire trip, I had to carry the baggage. When complained to the boarding crew, they got mad at me and still asked me to valet check in the cabin baggage. Rude boarding crew!!!

Boarding gate in Honolulu was staffed with a great clerk with a soothing voice despite the flight delay of over an hour. Flight attendants in the plane were all grumpy, not pleasant looking bunch. Their sour attitude showed throughout the flight. Inly able to get a select few movies started. Most of the movie links in the “free entertainment” did not work.

It was one of my worst flight ever. First they were changing the gate for at least 4 times, changing from gate D7 to D12 to D44. Considering the size of the Miami Airport, we are talking about long distance and the train at the airport was not working. Then the flight was delayed around one hour. Then finally we boarded into the plane and when everybody was seated, there was an announcement that there is an issue with one of the tire of the plane, so we all had to get out of the plane with our belongings, to replace the tire. So we had around 2.5-hour delay

Plane, flight, crew, captain were all great. The first flight had a Chipotle box lunch...delicious. this return flight not as tasty, but filling.

American Airlines initially postponed the flight. Then they cancelled it an rescheduled us on a flight that would take over 24 hours with multiple stops. They then changed this flight to a reasonable alternative the next day which they later cancelled and replaced with a flight that would take off with an additional 16 hour delay. They blamed weather but I noticed (at 4am) that Delta had direct flights from Charlotte to Detroit. I went on line. Booked it and was in Detroit buy 9am. The interesting thing is they did a similar thing to a family member just 2 days earlier. I don't think I will fly American unless I have to.

Excellent! The gate agents were kind enough to rebook me on an earlier flight saving me from a 6 hour layover. Even my luggage made it despite the fact that the connection was technically too narrow. The flight itself was very comfortable, roomy, and clean. Plenty of space for my carryon items with plugs to charge my phone. After a long international flight of 14 hours, this was an excellent way to end my travels!

The offered WiFi on AA isn't worth wasting time or effort on. If you manage to connect it's incredibly slow.

The service was good during the flight, but booking process was arduous due to mysterious partial cancellation (on the return leg), which took me 1 whole day to connect to the RJ’s NYC ticketing department to straighten it out. The reservation line of RJ customer service said they did not have the authority to un-cancel it, nor refund the ticket. To undo, I would have to email the NYC office and wait 5-6 days for reply, while my departure is 5 days away. Then the NYC phone number given (and I also found on their website) had no one answering, until I got someone in accounting or HR department to transfer me to ticketing dept. Then the seat upgrade at the gate only takes cash, no CC. From speaking with other tour mates, other airlines were given them the similar headache too - cancelling part of the trip without rescheduling options.
