Cons: "Food and service. Our flight attendant didn’t seem to want to be there. Sub-par service for first class by a long shot."
Pros: "Flight was smooth, arrived early..crew was prompt and courteous."
Pros: "Boarding was easy. No issues. Friendly staff. We had to fill out customs declaration forms but didn’t have a pen. We asked stewardess for a pen and they didn’t have any left. She said to borrow from a neighbor which I thought was rude. We don’t know our neighbors. If a flight requires filling out a form, they should provide enough pens to do so."
Cons: "Not enough pens"
Pros: "When I finally got off the plane"
Cons: "Everything. No instructions, no pens or pencils, ignorant staff. Got to Cancun and waited 2 hours with no directions to just go they immagration. The forms were in Spanish and the staff could not translate. I’ll never fly Delta again."
Pros: "Flight Attendant Precious was just as her name precious and was very impactful in my amazing journey experience."
Pros: "Clean and spacious plane, relaxed and organized gate cre"
Cons: "Crew member passing out ear buds ran out and never came back"
Pros: "Got moved to an aisle seat instead of the middle. The flight wasn’t full so the crew planned ahead and got several people in our party better seats."
Cons: "Missed my flight do to TSA security my wife is diabetic this TSA agents/idiots looked like they newer seen insulin pump or insulin bottle and flight left 15 min early. So I'm in Tampa trying to get flight in morning to Cancun"
Pros: "I love the aesthetic of the new planes. Boarding was seamless and the staff was great! More cookies please!"
Pros: "Like the fact I could watch 2-3 movies. Love the gluten free options for snacks."
Cons: "All of the couples were not assigned seats together. I've never seen anything so stupid. So before the plane took off, about four of us ladies from all over the back of the plane stood up and each jumbled a bunch of seats like a rubix cube so the men could then get up and go sit with their wives."
Pros: "The crew was great"
Cons: "Check in on line was diffucult and did not include opportunity to precheck a check in bag. Acwaste of time fir everyine in line"
Pros: "Cheap flights"
Cons: "Needs better customer service (includes on the phone and in person) Provided no help at the Aeromexico counter, ended up missing my flight. Due to unable to print my boarding pass cause the flight was delayed. Definitely will not fly with this airline. Will NOT recommend to friends!!"
Cons: "Seats had even less legroom than the worst US airlines. I'm and 5'8" and I could barely fit my knees and once the person in front of me decided to recline his seat I couldn't even do that."
Cons: "Two one way tickets were purchased to Cancun. The layover was 2 hours... but since the first carrier was late, it caused us to miss our connecting flight. Because the 2 tickets were from different carriers, the airline charged us $1600 to buy new tickets. I would never buy tickets this way again."
Pros: "Perfect timing, pilots throttled up to catch up on a delayed departure, absolutely bang on. Cabin crew were great. Comfortable seats with recline."
Cons: "Inside could do with a clean, but it was an older 737 workhorse, typical wear & tear. I paid more than expected but I did get a good reliable service."
Pros: "Nada"
Cons: "El vuelo salió atrasado . Teníamos acientos en AM+. Incómodos El sistema de entretenimiento no funcionó. Pedimos que lo vean para arreglarlo. Nadie nos acercó con respuesta. Mal trato del personal a bordo"
Cons: "Your customer service center is useless. The representatives do not help, they are mean and patientless."
Pros: "There was great service at the desk when I needed to have my flight rescheduled. Friendly staff in flight as well."
Cons: "Having less than an hour to deplane, go through immigration, them security just isn't enough time between flights. I missed my plane as Guadalajara immigration took almost 2 hours at 5:45am. I then had to add another flight to my itinerary. Planes are somewhat old."
Pros: "Choice of beverages was good, flight attendants impeccable."
Cons: "I was in Classe Premier. My seat was extremely hard to recline and my let rest wouldn’t extend. Very uncomfortable 2 and a half hours."
Pros: "Entertainment options"
Cons: "No announcements for landing. I usually wouldn't complain about arriving early but my shuttle was not available for two hours so the early arrival added that time to my wait time."
Cons: "How many people allowed to travel per plane during COVID"
Cons: "I paid $68 to pick up seats on airplane, but they didn't give us the right seat numbers that we wanted"
Cons: "Big difference between aircraft and crew on syd to singapore and the excellent sin to lhr sector"
Pros: "Friendly crew and a good value for money flight"
Cons: "Very bumpy ride but this wasn’t anyone’s fault"
Cons: "Inept staff throughout at Heathrow. Sat on the plane for half an hour while they located someone ‘qualified to open the door’."
Pros: "The food was ok for an airline and not expensive. Flight attendants were polite and fast to help you."
Cons: "Flight was 1.5 hrs late so that was the only negative"
Cons: "The seats they need to be refurbished I was sitting on the iron"
Cons: "They insisted we check in our hand carries for free because the plane was full. So we did. They ended up leaving one of them in London. No entertainment. No free snack."
Pros: "Flight crew was top notch with few exceptions. Safe journey. Great price tag with what should have been limited connections."
Cons: "BA used to be one of my three favorite airlines, especially the international. Sat on tarmac for over 2 hours because no one thought to load luggage of a couple hundred people or de-ice the wings for the sprinkle of snowflakes that terrified London. Cancelled our first flight to London a few hours before we were to leave home and after two hours on the phone, we were instructed to cancel our remaining flights and purchase a connecting flight to our destination ON OUR OWN DIME with the hope BA May reimburse. Had to fly into another COUNTRY, pay for our own hotel room and transfers and got to our final destination a day later, with only crossed fingers BA will take care of some of those expenses or at very least reimburse for the cancelled flight. They Lost our luggage on the way home because of a 2-hour delay (tarmac story above^), because they involved 3 airlines in their efforts to help us connect back home. Staff and crew we saw face to face were great to help...though not all customers shared that experience as we witnessed. Administratively, based on our 2 weeks of multi-country travel with them, BA seems to have lost the ability to manage themselves. 2.5 hour flight from Rome to London has terrible service and we had to ask for water to drink. Everything else was paid...I’m accustomed to that on regionals Euro commuter flights but very surprising on a full-fledged BA plane covering that distance. So many extra inches given to the thirty folks in first and business that commoners get sardine seats across the pond to America. That being said, the seats themselves are plenty comfortable withthe exception of arm rests that do not fully position upright. BA used to make you feel incredibly fortunate to fly with them. Now, I appreciate the crew who worked very hard to make-up for such an ugly delay on the ground and in baggage and flightbmanagement. The rest left me with a migraine."
Pros: "Awesome flight attendants, funny relaxed, seemed like they wanted to be there"
Cons: "The entertainment was awful. A small screen with terrible picture. The movie selection was small but current."

wifi not available unitl up in the air. Lost time to see movies.

Cons: "Not repairing the engine of the aircraft while I’m on it. Not having to deplane due to the fact I felt unsafe."
Cons: "Our flight was delayed two hours. We arrived safe but still, the delay creates such an impact on traveler’s plans. AA didn’t even offer bonus miles."
Cons: "Sat on the runway for over an hour. Lack of communication and lies.."
Cons: "I loved the seating on that plane with a 2x4x2 row."
Pros: "Crew was fantastic but seats lack padding which agrivated my tailbone."
Cons: "A second beverage service would have nice."
Pros: "The cabin crew"
Cons: "The gate agents were utterly rude and unprofessional. If you’re going to be so negative why work in customer service ?!?"
Pros: "Average with nothing exceptional. My wife requires a wheelchair and that gets you through the process from chair side to boarding with no lines to wait in. But that’s normal for any airline and it’s usually the airport service."
Cons: "The usual, roomier seats, on time"
Cons: "1 hour delay boarding then another hour waiting for a Pilot!?"
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Boarding system, come located entertainment o/b, non existan food/snacks"
Pros: "Lady moved us closer to the front of the plane"
Cons: "Flight was delayed over 5 hrs, Poor communication, lazy flight attendants that don't smile, I was the first one in the bathroom on the plane and it had pee in the floor and seat, no complimentary items for the delay, no apologies un til the pilot came on when we boarded. Won't fly frontier ever again."
Pros: "Poor information, bad acttitud and just one time providing water."
Cons: "Correct the previus points."
Cons: "No reclining seats No blankets for red eye flight Terrible idea to have to pay for food and snacks"
Pros: "Fast. 20 minutes early"
Cons: "Didn't see how to decline my seat. Oh well"
Pros: "It left and arrived on time."
Cons: "To have to pay for carry on bags is ridiculous. Then to have to pay for seats that don’t even recline is unfortunate. Nothing about Frontier airline seems to be about customer service. Instead frontier is just out to make a buck by what seems to be “tricking the fliers”. Had I known I would have been paying an addition $200+ on our flights (from initial purchase price) when I checked in I would’ve just bought a more expensive flight with a more comfortable airline from the get go. I also didn’t receive an email to check in to the flight. I feel this is common practice so for it to not have happened was very disappointing."
Pros: "The hotel they sent me to"
Cons: "The flight was cancelled, they should have told us sooner."
Pros: "Misleading, deceptive, and price gougers!!! Worst airline on the planet... Plane was delayed because aircraft was Dented"
Cons: "No amenities... pay for everything including: carry on, soda in flight, and basic seating. Seats don't recline, food tray the size of playing cards, no technology - tv, Wi-Fi, FM radio. Will never use again, Staying with American Airlines or Virgin! Horrible landing, my wife thought she was going to fall out of the plane. Flying United was the worst until now."
Pros: "The flight was non stop at the time I was looking for."
Cons: "Frontier is definitely a NO frills airline. The seats are very hard and uncomfortable and they charge for everything. It was not a horrible experience, but not sure I would use this airline again I the future."
Pros: "Good flight crew. Early boarding if traveling with children. Couldn't beat the price."
Cons: "No free beverage service...not even water. Non-reclining chairs but surprisingly pretty comfortable"
Pros: "I got to my destination. There was nothing else I liked."
Cons: "Fees are outrageous. Seats are the cheapest have least cushion I've seen. The tray tables even were only the size of a paperback book. It was like I was flying on el-cheep-o air. And the flight wasnt less expensive, I only picked it b/c the time of the flight."
