Reviews of the top 5 airlines serving from Houston to Orange County
No wifi, seems to be very common with Southwest currently. Everything else was normal.
No wifi, seems to be very common with Southwest currently. Everything else was normal.
Flight was delayed by 2 hours, meaning that a flight to Dwnver which should have arrived at 11pm came into the airport at 1 am. Made for a very long day.
The Air hostess were very rude on my flight from Houston to Austin . Their regular communication itself felt a they are shouting at people.
I have roller bag with food and medication told me I couldn't bring on my 2nd flight today. 15 years flying with SW never an issue with that bag.
The flight crew was extremely rude and especially not helpful when our flight was delayed.
Flight crew and cabin crew were great. I had to rearrange flights because my original flight was 3hrs delayed for weather, the rub is the flight I moved to boarded on time then we sat at the gate for 2 hours because scheduling stole our first officer for another flight, TWICE. Then our actual FO was an hour delayed. To make it worse my original flight went from a 3 hour delay to departing 15min EARLY. Just poor scheduling operations all around.
My experience was find with Southwest. The only issue I have is...at the exact time for me to check in...I don't understand how I always end up in C.
Very helpful, convenient, nice crew members, no extra fees, helped us saving 4 hrs of travel by booking is on an earlier flight
Our first flight was so delayed that we had 10 mins to board the next one. We requested if the flight attendant could allow us off there plane first and they denied our request even though I have seen this done before. Luck was on our side that we didn’t miss our next flight.
It was a very good experience. No major issues at all.
My seat was changed without my consent. It wasn’t a major deal but annoying.
Delta has joint the nickel and diming airlines. The experience is getting worst by the day. 1,000,000 miles for a trip to Asia in Business Class where I got the same thing for just under 90,000 miles through an Asian airline. Where is Richard Anderson? Please come back!
Everything went smooth from check in, thru TSA, then boarding, and a smooth flight to ATL.
Flight was 2 hr. delay, making me miss my connection to my final flight home to Roanoke. Now 12:38am in the morning and I just got the first available ticket at 5:30 pm tomorrow evening. Sleeping in the airport.
Arlene was a great flight attendant. I also liked how one of the other flight attendants gave us a heads up about snacks and asked everyone to remove their headphones when it was their turn to order. Good idea.
bulkhead seat had very little legroom - even in bsiness class.
I didn't take this flight. I changed the flight. Why am I getting surveys and notifications on flights that I change. Seems like a defect with Kayak.
I loved having a most black flight crew during Black History Month; rather by design or accident I appreciated the representation. ❤️
I didn’t like that I could not select my seat and was assigned a seat when I checked in at LAX
Great experience overall. Check in at Austin was congested as they only have about 6 check in kiosks, one was broken, and there was a lot of Spring Break travelers.
First class flight crew was barely available. They came through 3 times while we were on the plane for nearly 4 hours.
Packed flight, which makes it tough on crew and boarding staff (and the customers of course). But this was great boarding, clear instructions, etc. Traveling on the weekends are always fraught with danger as you have families and less frequent flyers thus more confusion. But this flight went as planned.
Overall we had a good experience during our flight from San Francisco to Houston.
The power at the seat didn't work and the seat itself was difficult to adjust - this was a business class seat. Flight attendant gave me miles to compensate. The attendant was very professional and on top of his game the entire flight.
Unbelievably poor service from flight attendants. They didn’t even do water service on a four hour flight. Just disrespectful.
Plane was crowded and even when we hit altitude, the plane was hot, not enough air flow.
I was refused to used the toilet closes to my seat and had to go to the back of the plane .. it was difficult for me I’m a wheelchair customer
Crew was very cooperative and professional. Passenger's first checked in bag should be free.
Over two hours wait to get wheelchair assistance from arrival to the departure gate for LA was unreasonable even though there appreared to be heavy demand.
The crew was nice but the people going to Orange County are so entitled. Everyone thinks everything is suppose for be perfect for them. Tough crowd.
Platinum status. 65 people in the upgrades list. When everyone is special No one is
Great for a small Commuter. Quiet and relaxing. Seats were better than most.
The flight was ok, i understand Houston-Dallas is a short distance. The plane is really small: no TV, no snacks, but other than that, all was good. We had a bid delay but luckily it did not affect my connection
Forced to check bags. Crew uninterested in collecting trash. Unclean seats.
There's nothing I liked about it. For first off I scheduled this trip two weeks in advance then they delayed my flight which messed up my whole trip. So I scheduled it for the following weekend thinking there won't be a delay and guess what as soon as I got to the airport we said in the airplane on the tarmac for an hour and a half. Not only was it delayed I missed my connecting flight meaning I had to stay the night at Dallas-Fort Worth airport sleeping on the floor. I will tell you this I will never fly American airlines ever again I have had nothing but horrible experience with them and I just throw money at them
They changed my seat from one that I had paid for as an upgrade to a regular seat at the last minute.
Very aggressive and unhelpful ground crew. Wanted to check my hand luggage for 3 flights. I had lots of delicate items and computer equipment. So the silly lady wanted to rebook 3 international flights because of a carry on. What nonsense. The baggage handler suggested I put it under my seat - so I did. And this was during the rebooking chaos of the Microsoft crash. She was the most arrogant annoying and aggressive ground staff member I’ve met in 20yrs. (AA flight out of Houston).
Left from gate 30 minutes before flight. Never been late to a flight ever. It says 15 minutes before explicitly on the ticket.
Was as expected. Good leg room on planes - much appreciated.
I know that there is nothing than can be done about rude customers. I did find a couple of them were very rude and inconsiderate In my case the guy who was sitting in the same row as I was in, was trying to watch a movie with no headphones, a crew member did ask him to turn it down or off (thumbs up for that.) Another thing, as we were about to land another young man must have taken his phone off airplane mode was talking with his friends and using fowl language which I found inappropriate to the ppl who were sitting in the same row as him and other ppl around him. I understand how no one wanted to address this person and not get involved. We all just wanted to get home safely with out any incident.
We were delayed three times ,and that destroyed my plans, and reservations
The reps working at the airport counter were dumber than a second coat of paint.
Delayed each time on a round trip with no significant weather interference. Updates to flight times came after the fact. 30 min behind in boarding and board and phone still show an on time departure. Some mysterious extra 300 miles that came so surprising they had to fuel while we were already on board?
Airline changed the gate from Terminal A to Terminal D which is quite far and only sent a text message few minutes before boarding. Around 50 people missed their flight and as plane didn’t wait for them.
Bad experience… crew are extremely strict with personal bags… they overcharge me coz my bag was one inch H
Well I mean u get what u pay for so 🤷♂️
I purchased a carry on bag online…was supposed to cost $72 but after a whole slew of bs charges, the total was over $175.00. Because of these hidden charges, I will not even consider flying Frontier ever again. It’s just not worth the hassle. I’m scratching this company off my list forever.
Plane was clean but they do not allow bag drop until 1 hour before flight. Just encouraging late fees and other issues. The worst I have experienced. Total hostage situation, pay or you miss your flight.
Everything was good, and most importantly on time. They have been extremely tardy in some of my flights
Flight delayed an hour. The turbulence was insane. Packed in like sardines. A coke was $4.95 no snack or a drink crazy
