Cons: "No WiFi and no one notified us we were delayed."
Cons: "On time"
Pros: "The crew was attentive."
Cons: "No phone chargers on the plane. WiFi was not available for that particular flight. We sat on the plane at the gate for almost an hour before the plane started moving and the crew said the delays were due to “paperwork”"
Pros: "I forgot the guy's name buy one of the crew members was especially funny! Good snacks, comfy seats, solid entertainment."
Cons: "Had a 1.5 hour delay due to a mechanical issue."
Cons: "Even with the air vent open, it was a bit warm. Traveling with my dog, had to pick the case up so she could get some fresh air."
Cons: "The flight was 4 hours late."
Pros: "Ample seat room. Not full flight. Attentive flight attendants."
Cons: "Cup of hot tea was very small."
Cons: "Savvy travelers likely knew today would present possible delays so that was inevitable. However when we boarded the plane and the cabin was closed, even I expected to depart close to our announced delayed time of 925p. But after a considerable wait and no word, finally we were told, around 940p, that we were waiting on 20 passengers and their luggage from a connecting flight. If that was the case to begin with, why board is early in the first place? Why not just tell us we’d wait till the connecting flight arrived for the rest of our passengers to join us? Instead, we waited on the plane, and even once the passengers were on board we THEN had to wait for their luggage AND the paperwork to be dealt with! A 1205a arrival became a 1a arrival, and then (no fault of Southwest Airlines), we had to deal with one luggage carousel pickup at Logan. It was a horrible end to a long night of travel."
Pros: "Flight was amazing!"
Pros: "From car rental to the gate in 20 minutes Every detail went well"
Pros: "Once again, a Southwest flight crew made the discomfort of flying a little less onerous by being friendly and funny. People were actually laughing out loud. The seats are so small you’re packed in like sardines, the food offering is a lousy bag of pretzels. But the flight crew? They were truly pros."
Cons: "See above — it’s just misery to fly in tiny seats."
Cons: "We fles from Chicago to Boston. One of our bags went on from Boston to Baltimore and took 24 hours to get to us."
Pros: "I made it home"
Cons: "Delayed ~2 hours, made us rush to board, this I understand but then we waited in the hot plane 15-20 minutes for more people to board."
Cons: "Delay"
Cons: "Very cold!"
Pros: "Didn't crash."
Cons: "In wheelchair and needed assistance boarding. In fact there were 3 of us and no assistance. They started boarding others and then that made it difficult to board. I felt neglected and in everyone's way. No food available on flight to purchase. Because of time difference, after landing and customs check, I was hungry but didn't think I had enough time to get anything. If I had known the plane was delayed, I would have gotten something to take on board. I arrived at Ontario Airport at 10 45pm which was 12:45pm by my stomachs time and I hadn't eaten anything since lunch."
Pros: "On time departure and arrival."
Cons: "Everything was great!"
Pros: "I like the boarding method a lot, everyone should do it that way. The staff is kind and polite overall. Their baggage policy is what brings me back every time."
Cons: "I wish they weren't so stingy with the soda drinks. I was feeling very thirsty and they give you a tiny cup. I tried to get up to get another drink only to get chastised back into my seat to anxiously wait for them to come around again."
Cons: "Almost never used to have a delayed SWA flight. Now it is commonplace. Gate attendants rarely say anything of explanation or apology, as if you will always just be there. Not necessarily so."
Cons: "This flight was missed due to the delay, not leaving until 8:35."
Pros: "Everything!"
Cons: "There was nothing to dislike!"
Pros: "the boarding agent was hilarious"
Pros: "Free luggage!"
Cons: "No access to movies"

Pros: "Boarding and exiting went fine. Other than a rude passenger, the flight attendants were very courteous, even to her."
Pros: "The flight was smooth; take off and landing were easy; the plane was clean."
Cons: "There was some rain that delayed take off; first 30 min., then an hour; then 2 hours; then over 3 hours. The crew did not give updates. When there were updates the speaker system at MDW was so faint that it could not be heard. Awful job Southwest."
Cons: "Cramped seating flight was just about sold out"
Pros: "Well organized. Pleasant crew."
Cons: "No issues"
Pros: "Fantastic flights, left on time and arrived early for both legs of the trip."
Pros: "Friendly staff. Variety of snack selection."

Pros: "Delayed by 2.5 hours - every 30 minutes or so we got an update saying it'd be another 30 minutes"
Pros: "I got home"
Cons: "Zero entertainment; zero meals (snacks only); cup of soda; couldn't sit with family because boarding pass was at the end of the "Bs." Very uncomfortable."
Pros: "Professional crew, even when the obviously drunk woman and her husband in front of us made a stink about 'water service only' on the 23-minute flight."
Cons: "Very crowded flight. The plan sat with no circulating air on the tarmac for 40 minutes waiting to take off. Apologetic pilot kept us in the loop, though."
Pros: "free snacks, comfortable seat, friendly crew."
Cons: "limited channels on free tv there used to be more when they had a different partner. I did watch ESPN for the first time on a flight. The stream was a little choppy on my device"
Pros: "On time"
Pros: "SWA is awesome! Courteous flight crew. Pop quiz to the people in the exit row before departure, made them think (what do you do if you look out your window and see fire?). Got their attention and reminded them of the seriousness of them accepting the responsibility of sitting there."
Cons: "Construction at the Boston airport caused a delay on the return flight, not able to handle all the flights with one of the runways torn up. Southwest shifted the departure and still made it a good flight with an almost on time arrival in Houston."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Latest and last flight into Logan and somehow didn't have a gate to dock into, sat waiting to get off the plane for over an HR. I'll never fly Southwest again. Terrible scheduling on arrival for an expensive ticket, being the last flight, how could we not get off the plane?!"

Cons: "Flight was 3 1/2 hours delayed. In-flight entertainment system didn’t function. They didn’t perform a beverage/snack service. Very poor overall. Disappointing."
Cons: "Our flight was delayed 4 times. We then sat on the runway for an extra 45 minutes because someone’s tv did not work. We missed our set transportation which was already rescheduled 4 times and had to pay $150 Uber to get home"
Pros: "JetBlue always offers great service, entertainment and snacks."
Cons: "Nothing except the weather. A little windy and bumpy. :)"
Cons: "They had to reset entertainment sets 3 times before they started working. This happens regularly on the SFO to BOS jetblue flight."

Cons: "running water in the bathrooms hot coffee and tea"
Pros: "Unbelievable for the price."
Cons: "Nothing bad to say."
Pros: "There was actual room for my legs."
Cons: "There could have been more legroom so that you could actually get out without almost sitting in someone else's lap. But it was easier than my last flight (on American Airlines). Having a meal available would have been nice on a flight of almost 6 hours."
Cons: "Left very late because of delayed inbound flight and need for deicing."
Pros: "Great crew and service"
Cons: "The delay was longgg but I know that couldn’t be avoided"

Cons: "The notification that the flight was boarding early. I enabled notifications and still did not receive notification that the plane was boarding."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Being delayed from 6am to 1:30pm"
Pros: "Flight was delayed 30 minutes at takeoff but landed when it was scheduled, so it was fine. Flight attendants didn’t make you stay in your seat, so you could use the lavatory. A fine, uneventful flight. Free WiFi. Snacks. Drinks. Fairly comfortable seats with decent legroom."
Cons: "Wish the seats in front of the emergency exit reclined."
Pros: "The crew was unfailing cheerful and helpful. The seats are comfortable and there’s a little more space than some airlines. The fight and particularly the landing was very smooth. Great experience!"
Pros: "Seat space for each passenger"
Pros: "Turbulence, wait time before landing and staying still for long periods on bothends"

Cons: "the wait time and the boarding, off boarding of the flight. No electricity in the aircraft."

Cons: "No water landing! I was excited to float around on a hot day, go down an awesome slide, and catch some sick waves, but come on people, we never even got a chance!"
Cons: "could not make it in time. Then we got on plane and pilot said it was an electrical problem on the flight but the generators were now up and at em again. Very hair raising ride for me - got in at 2:30 am with another hour to drive home - and I lost a LOT of confidence which I have always had in Jet Blue. I hope this is not the future we can expect with you"
Pros: "Entertainment, food, crew, and cleanliness were 100000% on point. Loved it."
Cons: "Turbulence and the flight was longer than necessary because we had to go around bad weather. Not the fault of JetBlue!"

Cons: "Nothing yet."
Pros: "The seats were comfortable."
Cons: "Flight was very late leaving Chicago. We sat on the plane for quite a while (over 30 min) shut up tight with little air circulation AND no information about why we were not leaving the gate. Flight crew were not very friendly - almost "marched" up and down the aisle and barked at people."
Pros: "Adequate leg room and ability to take a carry on we if your extra charge"
Cons: "Flight delayed from Raleigh to Boston due to weather. Flight time moved up slightly and we were told by Mike at gate C-8 that we would make our connecting international flight but we didn’t. Total nightmare. Incompetence everywhere’s we looked with this airline. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!"
Pros: "comfortable seats TV great beverages--actually get can or bottle"
Cons: "when we checked it, did not put us together"

Pros: "They were very efficient on getting people on the plane"
Cons: "I had gotten sick on a flight....just a little and did not receive alot of help from staff as there was no bag for me in my seat. I had to clean up the area. I also found there was not spray if needed for this sort of accident. Other issue - which is just a general is people who bring the big suitcases and people who have smaller cannot get it in overhead due to the size. Also the fees for a second bag is ridiculous and it was unfortunate that I had to pay as if I did not then I would have been over. either way....lose lose"
Cons: "Turbulence was terrible, understand that is not JetBlue issue - wanted to note."
Pros: "Captain and crew"
Cons: "Luggage handling"

Cons: "After the first two hours of my flight (which I sleep through) I couldn’t buy a drink a soda or anything."
Pros: "individual TVs"
Cons: "it would be great if you could not use all those one-use plastic cups. waste is a real issue in the US and the solution is using re-usable items like washable cups. Unboarding was a nightmare and it started to get really hot waiting to get off."

Cons: "N/A"
Cons: "It was delayed"
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "Chinese Eastern did not try to help and solve my problem."
Pros: "This was my daughter’s first solo travel home from college. She said the staff was helpful and kind. She loved that the flight was not over crowded. It was a smooth flight."
Cons: "Only negative thing she could say was her flight was delayed an hour. But that isn’t terrible considering all the holiday travelers."
Cons: "Wheelchair shortage on arrival, although I had one reserved. Waited for a while then walked. Not ideal. Very long wait for bus to rental car center."
Cons: "We thought we were flying AirFrance as our emails came from them and were surprised to learn after waiting in the AirFrance baggage drop queue for 30 mins that we were in the wrong place."

Pros: "Flight itself uneventful"
Cons: "Lateness"
Pros: "I am always impressed by the Delta staff. Top notch."
Cons: "The entertainment screens have an (older) head phone jack that many people do not have. The headphones available for purchase by the airline are of very poor quality. I also am surprised that airlines (not just Delta) continue to provide such low quality food options on flights. I think consumers would pay more for better options."

Cons: "Delayed 12+ hours"
Pros: "We had a 2 1/2 delay due to mechanical issues but the crews, flight and ground, did a great job. Thanks."

Cons: "Why am I paying for first class for just snacks I can buy in an airport shop?"
Pros: "Food available was good."

Cons: "Layover"
Pros: "The Gogo Inflight wifi and entertainment did not work for even a minute. I choose flights based on their amenities and this one had offered full WIFI service which swayed me to choose to fly with Delta. I'm not sure who is to blame about this issue but I'm pretty frustrated that it was completely dysfunctional."
Pros: "Free entertainment and free food was unexpected and very welcomed, especially given the trend of charging for more and more features."
Cons: "The tsa is worthless"
Pros: "Flight attendant diffused a potential unruly passenger situation."
Cons: "The landing was a bit rough"
Cons: "Delay. Second time I’ve had this."
Cons: "SC recently changed their baggage policy and the line at 6:00a to check a bag was from one end of the terminal to the other. I’m sure they’ll get it figured out at some point but they had to pull people on flights leaving within the next hour from the lines in order to get flights out on time. Terrible experience, no apology, no explanation."
Pros: "Saved money booking this airline."
Cons: "No online checkin or seat selection. Airport check-in was 3rd World like. Unable to process boarding two planes at once - meant an hour delay in taking off."
Pros: "Smooth Trip!"
Pros: "They were up front about the plane change and gave plenty of warning."
Cons: "Was not offered accommodation due to their flight delay, which made me miss my connecting flight. Young woman alone in Minneapolis without any help or guidance, very uncomfortable expirience."
Pros: "Everyone, from the personnel at check-in, the gate to the entire flight team were efficient, professional, cheerfully helpful, and all-around in good spirits. Given that Thanksgiving eve is such a busy travel day, I was pleased with the positive experience."
Pros: "Awesome staff, great service and new plane."
Pros: "I upgraded to first class, so everything was smooth and comfortable. The flights were on time both ways."
Pros: "Cheap fare"
Cons: "They lost both our bags No leg room or space in coach Poor food options"

Pros: "The price was right"
Cons: "I wasn’t able to select my seat when I booked the flight and I wasn’t able to check in and get my boarding pass online. Then the flight was delayed almost an hour."
Pros: "Crew was friendly"
Cons: "Both flights delayed due to air traffic control (too small of an airline?), vague threatening announcements about stopping all boarding unless people came forward to check their overhead luggage, horribly uncomfortable seats and far too loud, obnoxious PA system."
Pros: "The flight attendants were fantastic the captain kept us updated"
Cons: "Row 11 not reclining was a bit uncomfortable I ordered a prosecco it was warm. I like the fact I got a whole can of pop not just a glass"
Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above"
Pros: "The boarding process was simple. You all waited for a flight that was connecting. The seats had a nature recline."
Cons: "There were no free snacks."
Pros: "I took Sun Air to an extended family event- whereas others in our group had flights delayed and cancelled on different airlines, Sun Country took off on time and landed 5 minutes early- both ways!"
Cons: "My e-ticket could not scan"
Cons: "My flight to Minneapolis was delayed, which caused me to miss my flight from Minneapolis to Boston. Sun Country lied and said that my flight would wait for me, and there were no other flights going to Boston until the next day, resulting in a 10 hour delay. They then did not compensate me for my hotel stay and transportation, which I had to cover myself."
Pros: "Every thing"
Pros: "Staff were very accommodating, seats are comfortable, handheld entertainment device with movies and tv shows available for $8"
Cons: "Following boarding there was an issue with flight deck, and entire plane had to deplane and board (using same multi-tiered boarding system) another plane"
Pros: "Boarding was quick, I checked a bag and was able to pre board. We arrived slightly early."
Cons: "Didn't get a free snack (so I can't rate the food or the entertainment as there was none), couldn't check in online"
Pros: "Not too much"
Cons: "There is no wifi available, the boarding process took over 30 mins before I got on, and there were no free onflight snacks"
Cons: "I fell asleep on the flight and the flight attendant woke me up in a relatively impolite way , took my drink without letting me finish ( was parched!) and did not act apologetic at all . I understand the need to prepare for landing quickly, but tact in waking up passengers and in communication is always appreciated ."
Cons: "Flight was delayed at the gate for an hour with no explanation. After the hour, gate agent didn't announce on the loudspeaker that they were boarding so my friend just happened to look up and thank God she did because otherwise we would've missed the flight. No wifi, entertainment, snacks, etc."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "My work trip was canceled and I was told by a Canadian flight network agency that it was a non refundable flight but I could change it for $100. I booked via kayak but somehow was routed to this agency in Canada and it was extremely difficult to understand the staff member. What I could understand is it is a waste of $ and I won't be booking again."
Pros: "Boarding, seat room, personnel were all great. Our first flight with Sun Country but would definitely recommend and use again!"
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "smooth, no frills, great ride"
Pros: "I liked efforts to load the back of the plane first! Crew were friendly."
Cons: "Check-in attendant broke handle on my luggage and then tried to have me sign release to excused accountability."
Pros: "Nice to have check in personnel to have quick process"
Pros: "Crew and staff were friendly, efficient and helpful through the whole process, from checkin to landing.Will definitely look for Sun Country flight options in future."
Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above"
Pros: "Everything about the flight was great."
Cons: "Only one small issue: I found it almost impossible to reach anyone at Sun Country, by phone, a day or two before the flight. Hopefully this is a temporary situation."
Pros: "Over 12 hour delay. Barely any counication"
Pros: "My daughter arrived with an injured shoulder and a Sun Country employee helped her with her 4 hockey bags and checked her in. Not often a teenager notices great customer service, but she called me and was so thankful for a nice person working in Minneapolis."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Cons: "Making changes to our reservations was so difficult that I eventually drove to the airport to do it in person. Had been on hold for over six hours. That was not a typo. Fix your website or we will never use you again"
Pros: "Cost to check bags was only $20 for the first bag! The staff was helpful and polite"
Cons: "No entertainment options or food available to purchase, so be sure to bring your own food and entertainment."
Cons: "Nil"
Pros: "Its quick and easy."
Pros: "We had several people with disabilities on the flight including one lady who was blind traveling with her guide dog. The flight attendants were amazing with all of the people who needed help. This included non-English speakers. One flight attendant accompanied the blind lady to her bus connection to make sure she made it. The other attendants kept him apprised of their transportation. It was really amazing. This group of people worked well together, and they supported each other and the customers incredibly."
Cons: "It was a truly great flight."
Pros: "We upgraded to first class and enjoyed the 2 and 1/2 hour flight. Everything was painless."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Term 2 and sun country rock"
Cons: "Was all good"
Pros: "How smooth every thing went"
Cons: "How hard it was to get information on changing a flight"
Pros: "Sun Country has a system which promotes smooth boarding. First to board are for those with special needs requiring more time (families with kids, etc.), then the first class passengers, then those without carry-on, or who are willing to leave their carry-on as gate check, then for the first 10 rows, and then the back rows, and then everyone else. This seems to work fairly well since it minimizes jams associated with front row seating first, as well as seating those who have large carry-ons."
Cons: "The only thing is that they should emphasize more that those who board first because they do not have carry-on, but just personal bags, should place those personal bags under the seat rather than use that to board first and then take up valuable space in the overhead compartment. I saw people board first claiming only personal bags, and then they would deposit their bags towards the front in overhead compartments, or they would just put their bags sideways in the overhead--taking up twice as much space as carryon bags going in lengthwise. There was a family with a 4-year-old child as a Lap-child. This held up boarding because flight staff was occupied trying to find three seats together for the family, who were spread over several rows. This held up the boarding line for several minutes as they tried to maneuver the family around to find an extra seat for the 4-year-old, who did not have a purchased seat. Eventually other passengers gave up their seat so the family could seat together, put this took up quite a bit of time for the staff. The gate check staff should have noticed the 4-year-old was too large to qualify as a lap-child, and should have arranged for the family to have another seat prior to boarding."
Cons: "I paid to upgrade to an exit row seat (I'm 6'4") and was seated between two Sun Country pilots commuting out to Boston. Shortly after sitting down, one of the pilots went up to the cockpit, and had a gate agent come down and move me to a standard seat so he didn't have to sit next to anyone. In addition to that, I now have to fight through endless "on hold" garbage to try to get my money back from Sun Country. Very disappointed in how this employee chose to treat a customer."
Cons: "The online check-in system was down/non-functional, so that we had to check in at the airport. The seats were unusually uncomfortable for SunCountry, and the flight carrier seemed to be outdated with lack of media or music entertainment."
Pros: "Ease of boarding, overall efficiency, check in process was quick,"
Cons: "Seats were tight, my TSA PreCheck didn't "scan" as such, no entertainment options"
Cons: "The Terminal in Chicago had no open amenities and overcrowded."
Cons: "Leave a seat empty in the middle could be good for social distancing"
Cons: "Late and then mechanical issues."
Pros: "Crew was great"
Cons: "Seat was uncomfortable. Flight was much too crowded"
Cons: "Everyone was very rude and would not answer questions and flight very delayed. No bad weather conditions"
Pros: "Flight was cancelled after multiple delays & I changed to United."
Cons: "Stop delaying & canceling flights, especially last minute"
Pros: "I was pleased there was entertainment for a short flight."
Cons: "My original flight was cancelled and I could only be booked onto one the following day, causing me to miss a good portion of my dear friend's wedding festivities. I am pretty bummed to have paid the amount for a Friday flight only to be able to arrive on Saturday."
Pros: "Really easy boarding and flight. Great in flight entertainment options."
Pros: "Seat assignment process was great and considerate of my preferences."
Cons: "If AA could fix its luggage handling process that would be great. BOTH (!) of my bags have been lost on this flight. Both have been eventually located, recovered and delivered to me, but experience was not pleasant this time."
Cons: "Flight was delayed by an hour. My bag did not get on the correct plane. It had to be delivered the following day."
Pros: "Flight attendants were friendly and thoughtful."
Cons: "Seating is too tight. Hard to believe that in 2019, major airlines still have seats without any electrical or UBS outlets for charging devices."
Pros: "I received the survey for this flight before we even boarded lol. People’s online boarding passes had expired. Noted that it was “due to weather” weather is totally clear, haven’t seen a flake of snow, it’s just cold."
Pros: "Comfortable seats and snack / drinks service"
Cons: "Delayed flight departure and bumpy landing"
Cons: "I was apparently "flagged" by British Airways for extra security checks. As I understood it in London, I was randomly selected for this security check. This then apparently meant that I was to be flagged for all subsequent flights. This meant that in Chicago, after going through two other security checks that day (Zurich and London) and completing customs, I had to engage in a full Homeland security check. This involved removing protective covers from my laptop and phone that were hard to get off (not meant to be taken off regularly) and a full body search that I did not have to do in London. After many hours of traveling, this was very a frustrating experience."
Pros: "Gate agents were timely."
Cons: "There was not a wheelchair at the arrival as previously agreed with American. No food on board - just drinks. Boarding took forever."
Cons: "It was not clear that I needed a different 6 letter code to checkin using the AA website. I finally got frustrated and called AA only to find out the code was different. The codes should have been the same or you should have referenced it on the website when I tried to check in"
Pros: "Our plane was late getting to the gate. They kept us informed and turned it around pretty quickly. There were storms between Chicago and Rochester so we were rerouted. As a result the hour flight was an hour and a half. The pilot kept us informed and it was a very smooth flight. So even though I was over an hour late arriving I so appreciated the communications and the safer route. AA seems to be communicating more than other airlines and I appreciate that. Flying is absolutely no fun anymore so you take what you can get for the positives."
Cons: "WiFi wasn’t working so I couldn’t communicate my late arrival to family picking me up."
Cons: "inflight entertainment wasn't working on my seat only which made my 6 hour flight seem even longer :("
Cons: "On my first flight from SLC to ORD I asked 3 different American Airlines employees if I needed to pay for my carryon before I got on the plane. They all said no. I got on the plane, put my carryon under the seat in front of me and everything was great. I landed in Chicago, got to my gate, went to board and this very rude employee stopped me after I scanned my ticket and told me I couldn’t board with my bag. The EXACT bag I had boarded with in SLC. After harshly grabbing my bag and putting it in the carryon basket to check for size, she wouldn’t let me pass by her into the boarding bridge and told me I was going to have to pay. I tried explaining that I had asked I’m SLC if I needed to check it and they had all said no and that it fit under my seat. She said, “I don’t care what they said in SL, this is what I’m saying here.” And directed me to the front desk where I had to pay $50!! $50 for a carryon backpack that fit under my seat comfortably 20 minutes before!! Without saying a word (cause I didn’t want to yell at the poor girl behind the desk) I paid the $50 and proceeded to enter the bridge but before I passed through, the rude woman said, “have a nice flight ma’am” and scoffed!! An audible scoff. So I’m short, I hate American Airlines and I will do my BEST to not have to fly with them in the future."
Pros: "Wi-Fi was great. Watched two movies. Flight was on time and painless"
Cons: "Only complimentary snack was pretzels and only a cup of water."
Cons: "Flight was delayed by untold circumstances causing us to miss our connecting flight to Venice."
Pros: "On time departure and early arrival"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Nice crew Spacious plane"
Pros: "The crew was amazing, flight was very smooth, arrived early, plane clean, service was great."
Cons: "For being in first class, my seat did not recline so I couldn't sleep and audio for my entertainment center was not working"
Cons: "Great trip"
Pros: "Not turbulence"
Pros: "Was on time."
Cons: "Not eventful."
Pros: "Great boarding, crew and seating space"
Cons: "Bathroom line for some reason was always long. Entertainment via wifi was just ok. Older movies only. New movies on the tiny screens that come down every 4 rows or so."
Cons: "Luggage did not make the transfer on time (Chicago-Charlotte after Tokyo), although they had about 45 minutes to load it. Do not buy an international ticket with less than 1.5 hours transfer time. (It took 45 minutes to get through customs/immigration and retrieve luggage for transfer."
Cons: "flight kept getting changed from delayed to on time then we finally get on the runway and have to shut the engines down and we were told that we would have to wait there for an hour"
Pros: "Short flight"
Cons: "Really unconfortable seats."
Cons: "All was excellent! Only the internet was not working good , payed for all flight access but most of the time the internet was not working. Anyway I contacted support team and they refunded me"
Pros: "United airlines canceled a flight last minute that I needed in order to get to my best friends' wedding on time, I usually fly AA but the United flights were slightly cheaper at the time. The options United gave me would have had me missing the wedding, AA had more flights that allowed me to make it in time, considering it was booked 12 hours before take-off, it was decently reasonable and left on time and got in early (imagine that, United). Thank you American Airlines, again!"
Pros: "on time"
Cons: "very cold"
Cons: "The entertainment system in my seat was broken. Was a bummer since we added a extra hour ground hold for weather."
Cons: "This made the check in process extremely frustrating and confusing. Traveling with my elderly dad who had to squeeze between two large men for 7 hours because people who actually booked the airline got priority seating. We had to pay an extra $500 to upgrade to comfortable seats. Not pleased w Kayak."
Pros: "First class flight attendant was awesome!!"
Pros: "Staff was very nice; very courteous."
Cons: "We were delayed for 2 hours! I had a premium seat but still ended up boarding with Group 6. Almost ran out of room and had to check my roller. Not happy with late boarding given that when I booked my ticket, it said I'd have priority seating."
Pros: "I enjoyed the entertainment because I don't watch movies in the theater often. The movies I saw in-flight were recent films I've been wanting to see and made time pass fairly quickly."
Cons: "I'm not a giant, but there definitely was not enough leg room in the main cabin. I could not sit comfortably, especially in the middle seat."
Pros: "Ok flight"
Cons: "Not iberia"
Pros: "The crew were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They made the negatives about the flight much more bearably be their excellence service whether during boarding, in flight, or after landing."
Cons: "I booked the flight originally through british airways and expected your standard, modern plane for cross atlantic travel. Boarding to find myself on a 767 designed (and likely built) in the 80s was rather disappointing."
Pros: "Crew professional and pleasant"
Cons: "Food not applicable"
Pros: "The in-flight entertainment, the refreshments, the staff."
Cons: "Flight was a little late. Flight also had many different boarding classes that were seated earlier than us - what seemed like an abnormal amount of loyalty/upgrade classes."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Thought it was funny I didn't get a survey about my disaster trying to leave Boston, only the on time flight getting back. 6 hour delay leaving because of a warning light they didn't catch to begin with. Missed a whole day of vaca. No help once they deplaned us. Horrible flight. First time on American too. Paid for a window seat specific and had no window."
Pros: "Overall it was a fine flight we were delayed an hour boarding. But this is good because apparently they didn't have a place for us to unload in Boston and we would rather be walking around the terminal in Chicago than sitting on the plane on the runway"
Pros: "Entertainment system has a good selection"
Cons: "No earphones to listen to the soundtrack on the entertainment system"
Cons: "Old plane"
Pros: "the crew handled the lengthy delay as well as they could, seems like they didn't have any information either which is ridiculous."
Cons: "We boarded the plane at 1:30 for a 2:00 flight, there was a filter out in one of the three bathrooms; the option to take a 45 min flight without use of the restrooms was there, we were told to use the restroom if we needed to before the flight so everyone did... then we continued to sit on the ground for two hours. After two hours we were allowed to get off the plane, 20 minutes later back onto the plane, backed away from the gate and then pulled into a different gate and were told to get back off the plane. At this point we were given no info or direction but to go talk to special services if we want to re-book a different flight (sold out until at the earliest 8:15pm). After about an hour they announce they are re-boarding the original plane, takes another 45 minutes to board the plane, then we are told two separate issues caused this lengthy delay one was a filter in the bathroom and the other was a thermostat... seems like very basic standard maintenance issues that could have been avoided with routine checks. We were offered zero compensation, the trip took over 6 hours in all to fly from Philadelphia PA to Boston MA; a trip I could have driven in less time. I continue to have issues with American Airlines and "mechanical" delays, the last flight i was on From Charlotte to Baltimore was delayed an hour due to a strap in the cargo area. I don't understand the logic behind the decisions made to hold the full plane over 5 hours instead of taking a 45 minute flight, but I will say the crew was very apologetic and handled the situation well."
Pros: "Very affordable! Traveling can be difficult, especially from Chicago O'hare - one of the busiest airports in the country - but everything was made easy for me and was a breeze!"
Cons: "No complaints here!"
Pros: "On time"
