Flight was delayed but they still boarded us early knowing we were delayed. Were not able to move about the plane the majority of the flight.
Pros: "Loved that you guys do the early bird checkin where we get to pick our seats"
Cons: "My fiancé was in the middle seat and was uncomfortable the entire time due to the seating areas to be so small. Our flight to LV was great, the coming back was just crammed."
Cons: "Plane was dirty, messy floors. Makes me question other cleaning procedures. Plane only had 8 empty seats which during these times is insane."
Pros: "Really enjoyed my conversation with Ron and the Southwest gift he gave. It was a fun journey today and a great way to end my holiday!"
Pros: "Great flight crew. Easy to access entertainment"
Pros: "Our sector FA was phenomenal"
Cons: "The Southwest cattle car boarding and open seating policies are horrendous. The fact that there is no business class or first class seating for status members is an abomination. The general clientele that use Southwest Airlines is generally... less experienced at traveling, to put it nicely."
Pros: "Smoothest flight experience that I have had in the last decade. During Christmas season, but flight was only 65% full, boarding was quick, departed early, landed early and still had an available gate waiting."
Pros: "Humorous flight attendants, attentive"
Cons: "Power outlets in seats."
Cons: "This flight was easily one of the best"
Pros: "Movies"
Cons: "Have food"
Cons: "We were late because we kept circling the airport. Don’t know whose fault it was but we were 45 minutes late."
Cons: "Weather delay got us off to a late start."
Pros: "The smooth plane ride. We’ve used other airlines, but Southwest is our favorite by far. I’ve never had a bad experience with them in 15 years."
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Not having a delay."
Cons: "Luggage travel time from deboarding plane to baggage carousel takes too long (~20 mins)"
Pros: "Boarding well organized! Flight smooth and crew seemed efficient!"
Cons: "Seating was tight and caused fatigue after flight! But I believe this a problem industry wide."
Pros: "The idea of no checked bag fees, no extra fee for reserving a seat, no change fees for tickets."
Cons: "Our flight was an hour twenty minutes late in taking with no weather issues and no explanation."
Pros: "Super friendly service. Good movies."
Cons: "Not a single thing could have been better."
Pros: "Confortable flight on a short flight."
Cons: "It would be better to have assigned sitting."
Cons: "I would like the plane to fly faster please."
Cons: "Packed flight. Very uncomfortable. Late arrival."
Pros: "The plane butt to butt people"
Pros: "Got me there safely & the crew was pleasant."
Cons: "Southwest boarding process is not my favorite. Prefer to choose my seats ahead of time."
Pros: "Nice staff, early takeoff and landing, clean plane"
Cons: "Too much turbulence on this trip"
Pros: "Service was great! On-time departure."
Pros: "Gate agents and crew were great."
Cons: "Due to a scheduling problem, the crew was notified late and arrived late only to find out they didn’t have enough fuel due to weather reroute. Flight was fine. Also no working WiFi."
Cons: "I didn't mind the flight was delayed. It was the fact that the A Group had boarded and when the B group lined up we just stood there for about 45 minutes with no announcement, no body informed us of what was happening or why we were delayed. The woman at the gate was too interested in eating her takeout."
Cons: "I was directed where to sit and I don't like that. We sit where we want on SW"
Pros: "The crew,gate agents and flight staff, were great. Their attitudes were fun, open, and helped keep us weary travelers in check. Gotta love SWA crew!"
Cons: "Nothing. Good job, especially with the weather in MSP!"
Cons: "2 hour delay. Landing at 2am. Getting home st 5am."
Pros: "Snack"
Cons: "Packed flight"
Pros: "Your crew was great!"
Pros: "Everything!"
Cons: "There was nothing to dislike!"
Pros: "Plane was on time. Boarding was seamless. Crew was very polite and attentive. I even had two coffees with hazelnut creamer. I love southwest and how they continue to offer amenities at no additional fee!"
Cons: "Southwest delayed the flight from 9.30 to 11.45 Then try anticipated to 11.30 they said they called our name but we are stading at the counter and we never head our names. They put us on the first available flight at 10.30 pm. Tomorrow we have finals at 8 am !!!"
Cons: "No wifi for the entire flight."
Pros: "Overall an enjoyable experience as usual. Best deal and staff in the industry."
Pros: "Loved sense of humor of pilot who initially announced the flight was headed to the Carribean ... then after apprpriate pause for laughter... gave us the correct MSP destination"
Pros: "Staff Boarding On-time WiFi"
Cons: "Always seems so hot on SW planes before take off, like the air is never turned on until we reach 10K feet The snack is super lackluster compared to the selection on Jet blue and delta."
Pros: "Great service always w Southwest"
Cons: "Nothin, maybe the 25 min delay... but that was weather related."
Pros: "Once we boarded, the flight attendant was AMAZING."
Cons: "There was absolutely no sense of urgency in terms of check-in. The agent was helpful but we waited in line for over 1 hour!!! Then there were delays getting to the gate(beyond the control of Southwest). But all of that caused us to miss pre-boarding which was necessary given we traveled with 1 of us in a wheelchair and 2 infants!"
Pros: "Good sound, easy to hear Captain. Also very friendly cabin crew"
Cons: "Would like to have had better food options rather than just "snacks""
Pros: "The cookies are good?"
Cons: "Horrible flight. On one of the newer planes (trays in arm rests) A 'customer of size' came in on the tail end of boarding and was seated next to me. The problem is that on bulkhead seating, the arm rests don't move up so it looks like they're sitting ON the armrests which means I'm leaning into the aisle and the person by the window is squeezed. However, other seats (middle) exist and no accommodation is made. There's also a policy that a COS procure an extra seat, for their comfort and comfort of others. Guess not, and when pointed out, the FA shrugged and asked if I want to move. Sorry, but I bought business select because I wanted a certain seat (get off fast, aisle, leg room). So instead of recognizing the policy, instead of making sure the COS is in a comfortable seat, instead of asking someone else to move where the armrests can be lifted, etc. She gets to sit nearly on the arm rests and negatively impact (aka wrecked) the flight of two business select customers (A4 and A2) Really?!?"
Pros: "Flying rather than driving"
Cons: "No food except snacks soda"
Pros: "Aircraft was a new 737 800. Beautiful plane with improved lighting, comfort- seemed more spacious. Excellent service, smooth flight."
Cons: "Naada"
Cons: "No mechanical failures or delays would be nice"
Pros: "Flight was mostly uneventful, which is great! Right after takeoff we made a complete circle and no information was given as to why, but we assumed it was air traffic."
Pros: "The flight was 90 minutes late"
Cons: "On time performance"
Cons: "Bring ear buds if you want to watch/listen to a movie. Delta changes for ear buds Everything else was fine"
Pros: "Delta crews are very friendly and helpful. Seats are 'good' on the E175 plane - better than the cramped CRJ200 on some other short flights. We boarded early, left a little early and arrived early. Nothing to complain about, except maybe a crying baby behind me, but that's not Delta's fault. :)"
Pros: "Choice of Entertainment was excellent"
Cons: "Bigger snacks - 2 small cookies or small pack of almonds was indigenous 2 hr flight"
Cons: "Issues with connecting flights so had to sit in different place, seat was broken"
Pros: "The flight attendants were amazing. 12 people had a connecting flight and they brought a shuttle bus. You dont see that kind of service any more 10 stars for that"
Cons: "Super small plane."
Cons: "We paid for comfort plus but the seats were no different than main cabin. Comfort plus experience on other legs was much better."
Pros: "Crew was great. Always attentive to needs of the passengers."
Cons: "Can't really think of anything unless you can shorten the flight!?!"
Pros: "Entertainment on short flights is a nice surprise"
Cons: "Very very late.. I almost lost my replacement of the replacement of my connection. Had to run like hell. The luggage didn't make it. To summarize the day, woke up too early, got to my destination hours late and got the luggage in the middle of the night."
Pros: "On time, smooth take off and landing."
Pros: "Service"
Cons: "More seat space"
Pros: "The crew was great and the service was quick and very nice."
Cons: "It sounds weird but I didn’t know which window was mine so I had one shut and the one in front of me shut during the flight."
Pros: "Crew was great"
Cons: "Hot in the plane and the landing was uncomfortable"
Pros: "staff was friendly and very attentive to my needs."
Cons: "The area in the back of the plane by my seat smelled like dirty feet."
Pros: "WiFi and Entertainment"
Pros: "The care and good food was much appreciated. There were plenty of excellent movies to watch to make the time pass in an enjoyable way."
Cons: "The flight was 2 hours delayed.. this cause a lot of inconvienece.."
Pros: "On time this time"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "I liked the service to see if there was a chance to upgrade because of the connecting flight and even though there was a delay in the plane arriving to Alaska, the quick turn was excellent and we were in the air within a short period of time."
Cons: "The comfortability and that’s rear even if I had the middle seat. I had it on my way towards Alaska and didn’t have any issue"
Cons: "This was my worst EVER airline experience. It was delayed 27 hours and the snow was not the only problem. When we finally got on board a plane we sat on the runway for over two hours - then they FORGOT to load the luggage!!!"
Pros: "All the attendants were very nice. The movies were great, but ones I would have liked to watch were not on your list."
Cons: "There was no Christian music on the music section."
Cons: "I had a 4 hour layover in Minneapolis, there was another flight to Denver that I meant I could’ve been home three hours earlier had I done standby, but because I had a cheaper ticket I was not allowed that opportunity. That makes absolutely no sense to me seeing as my flight was packed. I’m sorry my flight saved me money"
Pros: "The plane was an older model but staff allowed main cabin to use 1sr class bathroom."
Cons: "The choices of free snacks were limited. They should also give more than 1 package of peanut."
Pros: "Everyone was very courteous, the plane took off on schedule and arrived at our destination early. Also got a complimentary upgrade to Comfort Plus."
Cons: "Ticket price was a bit much, the seats and aisle inside the plane are only made for skinny people. Aisle was barely longer across than my foot, and the guy next to me was a bit bigger than average, leaving me to have to scrunch in my seat the whole flight. Lots of elbows, butts and hips knocking into my shoulders as people boarded."
Cons: "It was smelly. Anyone who does not smoke can smell old smoke. Yuk. Also, smells like a neighboring passenger has bowel issues. Ick"
Pros: "The crew were nice and friendly. The plane was new with lots of amenities"
Cons: "The new plane has NO leg room at all. It’s the worst leg room i’ve Experienced for such a large plane. I’m 6’1” and my knees would only fit if I spread my legs wide and sit back deep into the chair."
Pros: "Everything went fast & smooth"
Cons: "No leg room"
Pros: "It was everything you look for on a plane. Friendly crew. Lots of space. Clean. Lots of entertainment. Plenty of space for luggage."
Cons: "I loved it all."
Pros: "We arrived early, great flight."
Cons: "We had to wait at customs about 30 minutes because we were early!"
Pros: "Very quick boarding process. There was no entertainment so I couldn't rate that."
Cons: "There should be a N/A option if there is no entertainment available."
Cons: "Flight attendant from IND to Minneapolis must have had a rough evening or bad morning. Service in airplane is usually poor but this one was worse. Bumping most of the passenger when passing, handing drinks behind his back, not smiling."
Pros: "I like the snacks they are not giving out on the flights. It seems that Delta is trying to make the flying experience nicer instead of more tedious and uncomfortable like many other airlines, which is appreciated."
Cons: "The flights were both operated by Delta but booked through WestJet, and the flights themselves were fine. The booking was through WestJet (found the flight on kayak which kicked me over to West Jet's site) and check in was a pain. Their code did not work for their site or Delta's, I had to FB message them both leaving and returning to ask for the correct one, and the first request took them hours to answer. I'll just book Delta next time and save myself the trouble."
Pros: "The flight itself was fine."
Cons: "The flight was delayed and it set off a slew of connection problems."
Pros: "Delta flew their way back into my heart this time around"
Cons: "Seats are so tight so uncomfortable"
Pros: "Fabulous fight. Attentive staff and I love the free entertainment tv’s."
Cons: "Time to bring in dual class flights!"
Pros: "There were alot of good movies to choose from, and the food wasn't bad."
Cons: "It's always very uncomfortable to sit on a plane for a long time, but that's nobody's fault"
Pros: "The aircraft was new and most flight crew were nice."
Cons: "Way too many useless announcements by the copilot and the lead flight attendant. Keep it short. Don't get back on once you put the mic back. And how about announcing th baggage claim carousel if your going to interrupt as much as you did."
Pros: "Entertainment system was good, great crew, great food, great service"
Pros: "The crews were very friendly and everything went as planned. It was a nice flight."
Pros: "Spacious, clean, great host and hostesses. The flight arrived at our destination 30 minutes early."
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Flight was on time and left and arrived on time."
Cons: "Should offer headphones for free."
Pros: "Terrible online check in process 10 hour delay!"
Pros: "Sun country’s ticket line is fast."
Cons: "Timeliness, deplaning, grace from flight attendants."
Pros: "Suncountry has great service, their seats are not cramped and i think that there is enough leg and elbow room in every seat. The crew was attentive and friendly, the flight was punctual and uneventful."
Pros: "Having a direct flight was good. Staff were excellent"
Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable. I gave them my global entry number at check-in but they said they often didn’t have access to TSA pre-check. Had never experienced this with an airline"
Pros: "Nothing- and it cost me $50 to have voucher issued for future flight."
Cons: "Monitors with Sun Country gate information very difficult to find, if at all. I asked several people about Sun Country and departure gate, and was pointed in several WRONG directions. Since next flight out was 9p, I decided to cancel my trip. I did investigate taking same flight tomorrow, Jul 13, and was told it was full and I would be standby."
Cons: "Flight was determined to be 2 hours late well in advance. No e-mail, no call so we get to the airport 2 hours ahead of departure to find out we have to sit around the airport for 4 hours. This was NOT a last minute delay. This was the second Sun country flight in a row that was late. The first was a ramp gate hold for weather at the destination. Not sure why this one was late."
Pros: "Flight was on time"
Cons: "I over paid baggage fee for both departure and return, been trying to call a customer service representative for a refund but their is no direct number. I keep getting switched from one person to another without any feed back and it's so frustrating. It will be nice if I can get someone to just tell me there is no refund rather than keeping me online for over 10mins."
Pros: "Everything went quickly"
Cons: "I had to pay to pick my seat, for any food or entertainment."
Pros: "By getting an exit row seat, I was able to board early on"
Cons: "I wasn't told that the exit row seat would not recline until I got on the plane. My last trip on Sun Country, none of the seats reclined as far as I can tell. I'm generally very tired by the time I get on a flight, and not being able to recline at all makes for a very uncomfortable flight."
Pros: "Easy boarding"
Cons: "I was squeezed into a center seat between two larger people for 3-1/2 hours. I wish seat widths were posted when one makes reservations. I would have upgraded."
Pros: "Great service & great flight"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "Flight crew was very friendly and helpful. Staff at check in was very helpful in arranging wheel chair for my wife and arranging for us to sit together. Much appreciated!"
Pros: "I liked the local Minnesota drinks on the menu. Having MN beer was a fantastic touch (Surly Furious is the best!). Sadly, on my departing flight they were all out though."
Cons: "That you have to pay for drinks. And no peanuts or small snacks was a bummer - that's just cheap (you have to pay for those too)"
Pros: "Seats were ok."
Cons: "The boarding process was much slower than expected then when we were seated, the plane was uncomfortably warm. With our vents open in full, we were bordering on sweating the majority of the flight. It was unpleasant."
Pros: "The staff was friendly and helpful."
Cons: "The check-in on the website was difficult; there were numerous error messages generated, which required a telephone call to resolve, and I never received what was supposed to be emailed boarding passes."
Pros: "Boarding process was efficient. Getting the checked bags was easy too."
Cons: "Plane was super hot the entire flight and nothing could be done."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Poor seats, no reclining. No head rest. Most uncomfortable flight ever. No WiFi. Ran out of dvds for movies before row ten. Offers nothing! If your going to be a budget no amenities sure line ADVERTISE IT! Don't fool people. Never again!!! Terrible"
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The flight was mostly booked but had a few empty seats. The flight attendants were great. Plane was on time and pulled away on time, arrived early."
Cons: "Nothing to not like."
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "When I checked in prior to flight, the staff person asked me if I wanted an exit seat. I asked if it is roomier than Sun Country's regular seating since I feel their regular seats are very roomy. She said yes and that they are very comforable. When I got to my seat, I found out that they do not recline. DO NOT FN RECLINE. The lady forgot to tell me that. With lower back pain, I was extremely uncomfortable, in fact I could ot sit still. Horrible flight. THe stewardess could not help me, they said flight was full. I told them of my back pain, they didnt care, nothing we can do. THen I asked for a pillow and blanket so I can support my head. I was told there was a fee for a pillow and blanket.??????? I said ok since I was looking for relief, and comfort. She came back saying she was sold out. WTF"
Pros: "I liked the price"
Cons: "Ok so we had to wait for 90 min into the flight before any service."
Pros: "I like the fact that I finally got to my destination."
Cons: "Sun country did a pretty terrible job of delaying my flight. Instead of delaying it all at once, they pushed it back gradually, a total of 7 or so times, until 16 hours later we finally took off. On top of that, they blamed the weather, yet flights were taking off and landing all around us. The fault was clearly with our particualr aircraft or Sun Country management - or both. As compensation, we received a $200 voicher to fly with Sun Country again. I will likely not even use it."
Cons: "The two women working at the check-in counter made me pay to check my carry on bag. I also had a backpack and a purse - as did the other 4 people I was traveling with but they did not have to pay for their carry ons and were asked if they wanted to check their bags for free since it was a full flight. Overall the customer service on both my departing and return flights was very poor. Won't be booking a flight with Sun Country again anytime soon. Would rather pay more money for Delta where I get better service and amenities."
Pros: "The flight attendants were exceptional and I loved how the pilots kept us updated throughout the flight."
Cons: "nothing at this time for this flight."
Pros: "great staff, super easy and pleasant boarding, clean plane, scented spray in the bathroom."
Cons: "lack of any snacks."
Pros: "not crowded going to Denver, on time except for snow in Mpls which made plane hour late getting to Denver. Hardly your problem."
Cons: "Hour delay in Denver returning to Mpls Due to weather there. Plane was so so crowded. Best to remove overhead storage, let everybody pay$15 for carry on and checked baggage. Only under the seat fee carry on!!"
Pros: "The flight was not very full, so it was nice to have some personal space. However, the individual seats are very small."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything was awful about this travel experience. I was delayed all day and my flight from MSP to JFK took almost 8 hours. They delays were due to weather which I can understand but there was absolutely no communication from the airline and had everyone including myself extremely frustrated. We landed in Stewart, NY with no warning or information. Was a nightmare."
Pros: "The friendliest service and very accommodating when I asked about a seat change to sit next to two other friends. I wish all airlines has this great customer service!"
Cons: "I arrived to the airport about 50 minutes prior to departure due to an unexpected delay. After a poor experience with the online check-in tool (it failed to allow us to check in & wouldn't let me purchase a checked bag), my girlfriend & I made it to the check-in desk about 40 minutes before departure (which has never been a problem with any other airline). The receptionists practically laughed at me when I asked to check in, and without missing a beat or even checking anything on the computer, they told me that the plane was already on the runway waiting to depart. We asked if they could help us book a make-up flight, and they practically laughed again and said, "Yeah, for next Sunday." I found this hard to believe that the plane was on the runway so early. The whole experience was very unpleasant, and we received little help from them. After a half-hour wait on the phone, I was offered a voucher for another Sun Country flight. Very dissatisfied with this. I appreciate the direct flight from MSP-SAV, as I don't think any other airline offers it. But I don't think I'll fly with Sun Country again."
Pros: "Staff was friendly"
Cons: "Flight was fine."
Pros: "Smooth process, direct flight."
Cons: "No peanuts or treat of any kind"
Pros: "Smooth flight and we were treated well."
Cons: "No snacks!"
Pros: "Only the price and was not that cheap after addn fees."
Cons: "Boarding strategy leaves rows 11-20 without over head space. No one puts their "non-rollerboard" under their seat so now under the seat is empty and heavy roller boards have no space."
Cons: "Unexpected traffic from an accident delayed arrival and airport, that coupled with long lines made for time tight, girl in front of me at security was also going to my flight so I wasn't too panicked and tad kept telling us it was going to be ok and we'd make it but they pulled me aside to pay me down at security then my companion ran on ahead, they let her on the plane and then shut the door right as I was running up. Then the last was extremely rude to me and told me it was my fault and everyone else made it on time so why couldn't I, them when the second gate agent was going to put me on the new flight the ride lady told her to put me as standby, the agent inquired as to why and said there were open seats, she said do it, standby. And then smirked at me like she'd put me in my place. I was speechless, never delt with suncountry employee who was rude. Really disappointed with this experience"
Pros: "Sun Country is the best airline in the world -"
Pros: "Good prices, good friendly crew, arrived at least a 1/2 hour earlier than we were supposed to..overall excellent"
Cons: "Better snack selection other than that it was an excellent experience"
Pros: "Excellent price and it wasn't over booked. The flight had no food so I can't give it a 5star rating (sorry)...."
Pros: "The crew were excellent"
Cons: "The flight was two hours late"
Pros: "Our flight crew was incredibly nice and we even landed a half an hour early. Free beverages were served to everyone - even the economy seats."
Pros: "If you show up without a seat assignment, (which you pay for) they will assign you a seat. If you're lucky it's exit row. If you're not, it's middle near the toilet"
Cons: "Buckled and dimed for any extras"
Pros: "We were able to board first as mom was in a wheel chair"
Cons: "Everything was weighted in favor of passengers. Very nice"
Pros: "Selected the airline for the ticket price."
Cons: "Found the crew a little curt – and somewhat unfriendly. It could have been a function of the time of the flight – early AM."
Pros: "Short lines and prompt check-in. Flights took off and landed on time. Lots of young kids but generally quiet. "Budget" airlines like Sun Country and Southwest have separate Humphrey terminal but it is less crowded and easy to navigate."
Pros: "There was a male flight attendant (not sure of his name) that was wonderful. He was funny and personable"
Cons: "My boyfriend and I purchased our seats separately and we asked if there was a way that we could be seated together. The man that was checking in our bags said no and that the plane was full. We were fine with it, but after awhile he said that he found a couple seats together in the emergency exit aisle. It was great! We got on the plane and there were tons of extra seats, the plane was not full and I believe that he was too lazy to look for seats together upon our first request."
Pros: "departing and arriving to a small airport (Mpls)"
Cons: "Did not like that we couldn't print boarding passes from home. Had to check in at counter. On return trip, an overnight trip, we were told that there were no seats together so paid for exit row tickets. In flight there were plenty of seats empty. A passenger from somewhere else used ALL 3 of the exit rows seats in front of us to lay down and sleep. They did NOT pay for those seats. We did. No snacks offered. Calling Sun Country, the hold time was more than an hour."
Cons: "There were multiple rows of empty seats, so I moved in order to lay down and sleep. After I had fallen asleep I was shaken awake by a flight attendant telling me in a very rude tone I couldn't sleep there because I hadn't paid for the seats. I had obviously paid my air fare and the seats were vacant. I will never fly Sun Country again because of how I was treated by their flight attendants."
Pros: "The luggage fee is reasonable. The flight was on-time. Spacious seat."
Cons: "The luggage fee is cheaper when paid on-line, but when I tried to pay on-line, an error message popped up. I ended up paying at the registered desk which is $10 more."
Pros: "Because of a delay, was given a voucher for food and also a voucher for travel at another time. Seats are clean and not so cramped you can't breath. Excellent landings."
Cons: "Wish they had cranapple or crangrape drinks."
Pros: "The general attitude of the flight crew was great. Warm and kind, fun and full of smiles."
Cons: "The picnic pack was the only thing I could eat and was told it was no longer an option but still on the menu. Ended up not getting anything and was not thrilled by it."
The flt was good and quick, but we had to wait 10 hrs for our 1 hr flight. We chose our flight in May so we could make the connection in Chicago quickly!!! Well that did not work out!!! When profits come before peoples plans made 6 months previous, and the companies don’t care, or give refunds for poor treatments,———I’m OUT!!!!!!
Cons: "Made it a smaller flight. It was a lot of people on the plane! We could not practice social distancing"
Pros: "Crew was great"
Cons: "Seat was uncomfortable. Flight was much too crowded"
Cons: "Flight was delayed several hours due to an issue with the plane. Didn't get to our destination until close to 2am."
Cons: "This is the second American Airlines flight we have had in less than two months where there was an issue with the plane and multiple delays lasting hours. I understand delays happen, but we've had two late evening flights turn into red-eyes while traveling with one of our children. Will not be flying American Airlines again."
Pros: "Flight was cancelled after multiple delays & I changed to United."
Cons: "Stop delaying & canceling flights, especially last minute"
Cons: "Baggage claim was terribly slow and we were director the wrong carousel."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "The delays due to software"
Pros: "Really easy boarding and flight. Great in flight entertainment options."
Pros: "All was good"
Cons: "Nothing to complain about."
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."
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."
Cons: "I will never, ever book with Kayak again"
Pros: "Busy but kind stewardesses"
Cons: "Please offer another snack option besides carboard flavored pretzels."
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"
Cons: "Flight was delayed for more than 4 hours with little communication from staff as to why, gate was changed to a gate across the airport."
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: "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: "This is such a quick flight, and the staff made it quite easy."
Cons: "My in Flight Wi-Fi did not work. Not a huge deal, because it's such a quick flight, but it is a little Annoying, and may have just been a bad day for the system."
Cons: "Flight was delayed by untold circumstances causing us to miss our connecting flight to Venice."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Tight seating"
Pros: "On time departure and early arrival"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Nice crew Spacious plane"
Pros: "short flight, crew was nice"
Cons: "left 40 min late due to a communication error deciding what crew would work the plane. didn’t find out why the flight was delayed until airborne."
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"
Pros: "The touch down at MSP. Was sitting over the wing and barely felt it."
Cons: "Was told carry on needed to be checked because there wasn't any more overhead room for my 9X14X16. So then I had to dig through it at the gate to remove lithium batteries and it took an additional 20+ minutes at MSP to get to baggage claim/wait/claim bag. There was plenty of room in overhead storage for my bag."
Pros: "Was on time."
Cons: "Not eventful."
Pros: "Reliable and efficient."
Cons: "It took a while for the luggage to be delivered to the claim area, but it was very late in the day so I guess it is to be expected."
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."
Pros: "Crew was friendly and provided good service."
Cons: "Seats are very small. Boarding process could be improved. Seems some people board out of sequence and it screws up the process of stowing luggage and getting to your assigned seat. These same people bring in large over sized bags that will not fit in the above compartment or underneath the seat. Charging these individuals for these violations would deter them from engaging in this behavior. You might also want to add to your instructions how to disembark the plane, some individuals think their schedule is more important and rush up the isle in front of others who are trying to get their carry on luggage from the overhead compartment. Losers!!"
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: "I really like having the ability to upgrade to a more roomy seat the most. I am 6 foot 1in and leg room is so very important to me when i fly, it the difference between a good experience and a great experience. For just a few more dollars i was able to enjoy a great flight."
Cons: "I don't like not having the movies to watch on the back of the seats, although i do understand the cost cutting reasons. It's not a problem, just saying."
Pros: "on time"
Cons: "very cold"
Cons: "it was an hour late"
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: "Actually, I like that it was late because my first flight arrived late. The flight overall was very quick and smooth."
Cons: "The seats were covered in crumbs from the previous flight, but that's probably because of the hurry to get passengers on to the next flight because the plane was late."
Cons: "The handle for the window shade was torn off"
Pros: "Again the wheel chair attendant was helpful, patient and considering we were not feeling well, assisted us at customs. We are seasoned travelers and this is not usually how our travels usually go. We appreciated the wheelchair services, the flight attendants."
Pros: "The in-flight snack and the flight attendants on the flight were great."
Cons: "I tried to standby for an earlier flight on a first class ticket but I was told that's almost impossible as people waiting for upgrades have priority over me, so they may be able to get me a seat but in Economy. So, AA has no problem having a First Class ticketed passenger traveling in Economy and ticketed Economy passengers flying in First Class. Well, I do have a problem with that and didn't stand for it."
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."
Cons: "After having my flight delayed 4 hours causing me to miss my connection, I was placed stand by on a different flight through another city so I could try and make it home on time. I was the first person in line for stand by, but the flight was full so I knew it was a long shot. Waiting at the gate, I was excited because one person didn't show and they were giving him a two minute wait time before I could board. During this wait time a woman passenger came over and said she had just been given a ticket change at the gate counter. The agent at the gate was furious because the flight was sold out and said the woman should not have received a ticket, but should have been placed on stand by. She went over and scolded the other agent for this mistake. Okay, so she should've been placed on STAND BY behind me in line. After the unprofessional arguing between the two agents, they both admitted it was a mistake and she should be second in line for stand by, BUT they did not honor this and placed her on the plane bumping me. Needless to say, I missed my connecting flight because of this and extremely inconvenienced my family and in addition had to pay an extra 75 dollars out of my pocket to keep my dogs at their kennel an extra night because I arrived home 5 hours after expected. I understand that flights end up getting delayed and the agents are doing the best they can to accommodate travelers, but admitting a mistake and not fixing it to make it right is unacceptable. I notified American Airlines of my situation and only received a form letter with enough miles to get me 1/8 of a flight. I don't even care about the miles because I don't plan to ever fly with them again, I want the money for the dog kennel I had to pay extra. I was visiting my husband who serves in the US Army causing separation from our family for long periods of time and this extra headache and expense due to the mistake of American Airlines was disheartening."
Pros: "The crew's response was better than expected."
Cons: "Snacks were a bit too expensive."
Pros: "Hospitality, service, flight, and crew!"
Cons: "Pretzels"
Cons: "Requested for wheelchair assistance but none provided?!!"
Cons: "Two hour delay due to mechanical issue was a showstopper."
The only problem I had with this being my first flight was primarily on me having a large luggage and with the flight delay, having our layover be cut short. I had to go straight to the gate and may have almost missed it. Thankfully the digital boarding pass was easily accessible to be able to board.
Pros: "We had missed our original flight and were met with new boarding passes for a new flight, so that was good. When my friend and I realized we were on different flights, the woman at the ticket counter was very kind and helpful in changing my flight. We didn’t get our bags, but the women at baggage claim were very kind and helpful, and hopefully my bag will be delivered soon."
Cons: "All planes are too cramped - not much legroom, even for me, and I’m 5’1 Not bad for this flight - only an hour - but really uncomfortable for a nine hour flight"
Cons: "Flight left 2.5 hrs late. Had to wait on tarmac 45 minutes then had to change planes and run to other end of Chicago airport. My friend was in a wheelchair so extremely inconvenient."
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Smooth and easy flight."
Cons: "Transfer from international (T5) to T1 at O'Hare is very unpleasant..Generally O'Hare is a terrible airport."
Pros: "I thought it was awesome to see the crew assist with holding babies so parents could get a little respite on the flight."
Cons: "Out plane showed up late due to weather - understandable. We didn't have anyone to pilot the plane for over 5 hours - unacceptable. I was due to be home by 8PM CT on Sunday; didn't get home until 4AM Monday. Very poor job by United."
Cons: "Delayed from another flight but this crew tried their best to get us up in the air"
Pros: "Respect and support"
Pros: "I appreciated that the airline put us up in a hotel, gave us vouchers for food and bumped us to first class, however not all of us even got on this plane. My wife is on standby while my daughter and her friend go with me at 6:20 AM, my work de is scheduled for 7:45 flight. We’ll see but I’m not holding my breath."
Cons: "See above..."
Cons: "It was delayed due to my earlier trip but united tried to get me a connection which was atleaogood. The overall trip was 24 hours and due to all these delays my trip took 31 hours."
Cons: "There’s a guy cree that is rude."
Cons: "The flight was delayed for a half hour. No one announced anything about the delay until we were almost leaving. It would have been nice to at least share what was happening and when we could expect to leave. Delays are always frustrating but especially so late at night and when no information is given."
Pros: "Our family was able to sit together"
Cons: "The flight left late It arrived late and we sat out away from the gate for 15-20 minutes before getting up to the gate to deplane."
Pros: "Standard, quick domestic flight home. Nothing special."
Cons: "You better get rid of basic economy."
Cons: "The flight was late, which I realize isn't any one person's fault, but it was annoying. We were actually taxiing almost as long as we were in the air! The part that was really frustrating was that my infant's car seat was damaged, but United refused to acknowledge that they did it because it hadn't been something severe like being run over by a forklift. The good news is that I now know to avoid flying United."
Pros: "Temp was comfortable, not freezing cold like on other flights I experienced"
Cons: "The next time I'm going to drive to Chicago to save $500.00 or more on my trip to South America or use a different airline."
Pros: "United had gotten the idea that they should charge more for their flights. They've done it by inventing a new "basic economy" class which costs just what it used to cost to fly economy, only you don't get to pick your seats, don't get to bring a carry on, and can't check in for your flight without one of their staff verifying your personal item isn't secretly a carry-on."
Cons: "Being treated like a third class citizen because I'm poor."
Cons: "Need more free snacks"
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "EVERYTHING~"
Pros: "Everything went well, landed early, crew were helpful. Could ask for better."
Cons: "Nothing to say here."
Cons: "You cannot check in online so you have to wait in line for an agent to check you in. The fare only allows you a middle seat. There is really not much good about this low fare. I'd rather take a low cost airline then get treated like you get treated on the basic economy fare."
Cons: "They might as well have thrown us in a car trunk the crew was very unaccommodating they didn't really care about us and the room legroom is ridiculously smal. On the connecting flight, the last flight the plane was two thirds empty and the crew made us sit in our assigned seats, crammed together telling us that if we want to sit in a seat with more legroom we have to pay $180"
Pros: "The crew was very nice and no one got beat up."
Cons: "In-app entertainment is better than nothing. But free wifi would have been great. And the seats are horrible and hurt my neck and back."
Pros: "The plane did not crash. That was the part I liked."
Cons: "No one cares what coach customers think of "their in-flight experience" so im not sure why I'm bothering. I got a cheap ticket and packed a tiny backpack. Was reminded of my lowly state by being made to wait till the last second to board. Last row of plane. 2 inches of leg room. Leave it to United to figure out a way to create a class of customer so low that you envy all the other cattle. MOOOOO!"
Pros: "2 flights today. Both delayed. Both with no free entertainment or any attempt to make up for the horrible problems. Service was non existent on the first and limited on the second."
Cons: "There is very little to like about united. Instead of taking the opportunity to offer some free comps to the passengers on either flight for the delays they just brushed it off as business as usual. Poor choice when a little hospitality goes a long way."
Pros: "Their waffle cookie is the best 'freebie' in the air. I also liked the access to the wifi for entertainment on my own device."
Cons: "No entertainment at all"
Cons: "I haven't gotten on the flight. It's been delayed 3 times."
Cons: "Terrible customer service. Will never fly united again."
Pros: "Ok flight short crew nice"
Pros: "I had long waiting time for my flight from ORD and asked at stall if i can get early flight and the person at desk checked the system and get me early flight with no charge in cooperative and helpful manner with smiley gesture ."
Pros: "Crew was really friendly, and the boarding was quick."
Cons: "There was no snacks or anything to eat during the flight ."
Pros: "Same as above"
Cons: "Same as above"
Pros: "I was so happy to find a cheap one way flight at the last minute. Was able to get my son home for the weekend. Otherwise he would hace had to stay in Chicago for the night. Super easy and efficient."
Pros: "The crew was very considerate and nice to all passengers."
Cons: "It took forever to board and people had to move because the plane was unbalanced. That shouldn't happen in 2016."
Pros: "First of all, the crew was amazing. I had just been traveling for about 20 hours and I had a seat towards the back of the economy section. After traveling that long, I was getting antsy to be at my destination, and I asked the gate agent if she could bump me to a row towards the front of economy- thankfully the plane wasn't full, and she was able to! It's the little things like that, that are what make me fly United. Also, the cabin crew on the flight was great! Of course, the economy section of the plane wasn't an ideal amount of space, but come on- it was an hour flight, and they did a good job of trying to spread people out so that the rows weren't packed."
Cons: "Boarding took a little longer because the plane was being cleaned. I believe they said the overnight flight got in a little late and they still had to clean the plane. We boarded late, but still got to our destination early. Negative turned into a positive- you can't beat that!"
Pros: "Good legroom. I was at an exit row. Crew was cheerful. Plane seemed pretty new and clean."
Cons: "Delayed departure. And had to sit on tarmac on arrival in Minneapolis waiting for other plane to leave our gate."
Pros: "Was given a couple of blankets that I asked for. Everyone was very professional. Very accommodating."
Pros: "This flight was very relaxing as it could be. I do not like to fly but the crew made it very easy to relax and get comfortable."
Pros: "The flight attendants were great, and the in cabin experience went smoothly."
Cons: "It took over half an hour, for the plane to depart from the runway. In addition, the gate was changed three times without overhead announcements from O'Hare."
