ZacharyFlew with Scandinavian AirlinesORD-CPHNov 2025
Buy out a row so you have room to sleep.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysORD-LHRJun 2025
Get a wheel chair if you have difficulty walking
RogerFlew with Japan AirlinesORD-PITJun 2025
Make sure when you go from one airline to another that your bag is marked properly so they can get it on the right damn airplane. I did that and it still didn’t make it.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesORD-LASMar 2025
If you can select your seats in advance please do
JoeFlew with IberiaORD-LHRApr 2025
Get there early. Nice airport options while you wait.
Verified travelerFlew with IberiaORD-LHRMay 2025
Get to the airport early so you’re relaxed. Con yourself into believing it’s bedtime and try to sleep so that you can keep going all day when you get there. If you can afford more comfy seats it might be worth it - though I always have the cheap ones so I can’t say for sure. Try very hard not to. sit in the middle. I’m small and the guy next to me played games all night and didn’t care that he continually ( with every move) jabbed me with his arm. This was my first flight with Cheap Flights and it was far less convenient than other times I’ve flown overseas.
AndreaFlew with United AirlinesORD-ATLMay 2025
Ask for stewards to assist and provide amenities or you won’t get them.
Verified travelerFlew with EVA AirORD-TPEFeb 2025
Coming from Chicago which is also a busy airport, I recommend checking in online prior to thetrip. Make sure luggages follow the required weight and go directly bag drop. You may also want for the attendants to print your boarding pass with the recent details on boarding gate number and zoning.
Verified travelerFlew with ANAORD-HNDJan 2025
Consider light carry-ons to give yourself stretch room for economy and quick onboarding and off boarding especially with connecting flights.
TFlew with Scandinavian AirlinesORD-CPHJan 2025
Don’t forget you can pinch and slide the headrest up and down for maximum sleeping comfort.
Verified travelerFlew with American AirlinesORD-TPADec 2024
I recommend having movies and songs downloaded on your device.
DarylFlew with Cathay PacificORD-HKGJan 2025
They are strict with carry on and they weigh it upon check in.
JanieFlew with SWISSORD-PHXFeb 2025
I think you should prebook food or bring your own food.
valerieFlew with Air CanadaORD-YULJan 2025
“Meal” usually means more than a light snack. I thought what they served was an appetizer not the total meal. So I’d eat before or bring food.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit AirlinesORD-LASSep 2024
Make sure you get your seats booked at time of booking or at the least when you check in and make sure you check in at the earliest to have preferred seating.
MikeFlew with American AirlinesORD-LAXSep 2024
Arrive early, grab a bottle of soda before getting on the plane and open it in the terminal. If you wait until flying the pressure will decarbonize the drink.
Verified travelerFlew with SWISSORD-ZRHSep 2024
Bring a neck pillow and a heavy sweater bc it does get cold. I used the blanket for my legs. Also: get a seat in the aisle.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesORD-PDXSep 2024
Not many amenities at the terminal. I would suggest grabbing anything that catches your eye before you get all the way down. There weren't a lot of Alaska flights out of Chicago, and we were at the extreme end of the terminal.
Verified travelerFlew with Cathay PacificORD-HKGNov 2024
First flight to hkg but been to asia many times. Most airlines have frequent beverage service to combat the dehydration that comes with a long flight.
DevikaFlew with Etihad AirwaysORD-AUHSep 2024
I wish I had known how much walking I had to do to the transfer terminal from landing to transfer gate.
Verified travelerFlew with Porter AirlinesMDW-YTZSep 2024
Please start bags check-in at least 2.5 hour before flight and finish at 30 min before flight.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesORD-FRASep 2024
Be prepared to wait in long line for boarder control. Allow enough time for your layover
mauriceFlew with IberiaORD-JFKSep 2024
You should arrive early, take a lighht snack and be prepared for delays.
RuthFlew with United AirlinesORD-AMSOct 2024
Facial recognition seemed to slow boarding down, not speed it up. Why don’t airlines board from the back to the front? That would certainly speed things up!
HeatherFlew with LufthansaORD-MKEAug 2024
Make sure there's enough time between connections to go through customs and recheck your luggage. They will not let you proceed so you can't even try to run and catch the flight if you want to.
WilliamFlew with EVA AirORD-TPEJul 2024
Wear compression socks or prepare for massive swelling of your feet and ankles.
MikeFlew with British AirwaysORD-FCOJun 2024
Make sure you check the plane type and economy seating space.

Eat before boarding the food is smelly. Do not sit near a toilet
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesORD-PHXApr 2024
Use the find my gate feature on the flights phone app if available as the airport is a bit confusing
AyannaFlew with Spirit AirlinesORD-TPAMay 2024
Fly out of Midway airport instead of O'Hare because its smaller and easier to manage.
PaulFlew with Alaska AirlinesORD-SEAApr 2024
The flight is long, at over four hours. I would try to get a window or aisle seat to be more comfortable. I would check with other airlines that allow you to choose your seat even if you are in the economy section. I would bring your own food on the plane as the service was sometimes sketchy.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesORD-SEAApr 2024
If you miss your flight ask any alaska agent to how and where to rebook the flight.
FreddieFlew with IcelandairORD-KEFMay 2024
If you’re in business class board first to avoid queuing
UzomaFlew with American AirlinesORD-DCAJan 2024
ORD and DCA are nice airports with plenty of space. ORD is always busy so allow ample time to drive there, drop your bag, and go through security if you don't have TSA pre check.
RogerFlew with ANAORD-HNDFeb 2024
The extra leg room and been able to recline better is worth the extra money. I bidding on the premium and offered the least they would accept and got it.
AaronFlew with American AirlinesORD-LHRDec 2023
Find a flight where you are allowed to choose your seats before the day of boarding for anything international.

Bring things to make the seats more comfortable

I always expect issues with United but there doesn't seem to be another airline to use. Advice: Give yourself and extra day to get anywhere - don't be in a hurry to get home either.

Love it. No Frills but better than Spirit No Frills. It's like a simple luxury private plane especially if you've got five or six people on it because then you probably got your own section of the plane.

Love it. No Frills but better than Spirit No Frills. It's like a simple luxury private plane especially if you've got five or six people on it because then you probably got your own section of the plane.

All the staff were amazing! The flight was quick, everything went smoothly, I have nothing but good things to say about this flight. Thank you Contour!

It was easy, efficient from start to finish. The flight attendant was amazing. Smooth ride. It was just perfect.

We had a great experience on both of our flights! Crew was great…..the ride was smooth…and checking in was easy. We will definitely fly with them again.

This was my first time flying with Contour and the Greenbrier Valley Airport. It both were excellent and the price couldn’t be beat!

Not on time. Taxied around the airport for 30 MINUTES! The pilot never said a word. Ai

Great flight, professional crew, convenient and interesting nonstop routes. Had trouble with getting precheck listed on boarding pass, but found that customer service was remarkably responsive via email — unheard of with other carriers. A great experience overalll.

I felt like a sardine in my seat. We all did. The plane was so small that I hit my head on the roof when I stood up from my seat. The service was good and the crew were nice.

My luggage is missing and contour is doing a terrible service helping finding it. Unbelievable and the worst experience ever. I would love get my money back.

Flight was cancelled, but they got him on an earlier delayed rescheduled one. Arrived Chicago 2 hours later than expected but long layover so it worked.

Seats in waiting area and on plane hard as rock. Fast internet on the flight was great! Crew was kind.

Always wish for more healthy, gluten free options. We have to bring our own.

Having a long layover, I was very appreciative of the ability to stand by for an earlier flight. Other airlines like Delta have refused this to me in the past, just to be mean (because my ticket class wasn't high enough). United went out of their way to help me get to my destination early, which I really appreciated given that it was the third leg of a 24+ hour journey for me.

Other than a way way too cold cabinets for the entire flight, all was great

One bag is incorrect and not acceptable for an international flight. The food was not just good. I won't fly with them again.

Excellent flight. Smooth, efficient boarding. Quick flight. Arrived early at STL.

Not the fault of United—weather, reroute around weather, time sitting on tarmac, arrived couple hours late, too late for train into city necessitating a much pricier cab but weather…can’t be helped.

I will never book a flight through Cheap fare. They booked me from Portland Main . And would not give me a refund, so I bought 2 tickets one for 299. From Portland Main to ORD. Then I had to buy a ticket from Oregon PDX to ORD that was another 440. So Just so you know they even told me it was there fault but no refund. Bad bussniess. I did inform United but they said they couldn't help me due to the fact I booked through Cheap Tickets. Never again. And I'm spreding the word. I let everyone know at my 50th class reunion

The flight attendants were rude. Seemed like they didn’t want to be there. Except for one girl that was really nice. Seats are sooooo uncomfortable. They give you a piece of paper and a thin cushion for a pillow and blanket that does nothing. Airlines have gone way downhill, especially United international flights. Food was disguting. Definitely flying ANA next time.

Crew and customer service were excellent. This flight also had plenty of leg room and seat mounted screens for entertainment. A very pleasant flight all around!

We loved the steward on the plane. He made the night enjoyable

The plane was late, when we did board the plane was as cold as a freezer. I was freezing the entire flight, no blankets. Lost miserable flight I’ve ever had.

My wife and I love to travel, so we fly a lot. We've already logged 381,075 miles and with practically every major airline. But this flight was very disappointing. It started off well, with no delays and a new plane. But when lunchtime approached, all that good impression was ruined. Instead of white tablecloths, we were offered small, dark placemats, which, as it turned out, were perfectly adequate for the food. All the food offered—and my wife and I only took fish, and the meat—was not just bad, it was downright disgusting and not heated enough. The same applies to the appetizers. This was the first time in many years of traveling that we've been offered such disgusting food.

Lost luggage stuck no clothes and no word after 2 days leaving on cruise no stuff or clothes

3 hour weather delay followed by 1 hour (and counting) maintenance delay. UGH!

After we'd boarded , they canceled the flight. The crew didn't even know , we just all received text messages. Then after they deplaned us , AA was just like "too bad, go F your self, we sure ain't gonna help you"

After a two hour delay, my flight was CANCELLED! No pilot available. Such BS.

Amazing food, great staff, with one noticable detail missing ...but no seat entertainment in any of aircraft ...I am not a fan

I wish American Airlines would change the airline industry by loading the plane back to front instead of front to back. Planes would board so much more smoothly and quickly.

I have long legs, my foot was out in the aisle and when a flight attendant came walking by and I didn't notice, instead of saying "excuse me" or anything like that, she kicked my foot. Extremely rude

Totally great experience. Would definitely travel with them again. Thanks.

Both my fights got cancelled. Said mechanical issues but on flight tracker the flights came in and left! We were lied to!!

Was very impressed they called to confirm he would be on the flight. Great customer service!

We had a wonderful flight due to the care of our experienced pilot and copilot and the magnificent air views from our comfortable seats. What excitement to be in such a small plane with such magnificent around us.

Multiple time changes, then we left earlier than we were told.

Communication could be better but the staff and crew were over the top friendly and helpful, The flight itself was smooth.

flight was cancelled literally at 10pm the night before an early morning flight with hardly any time to reschedule. Will never book with kayak again.

My flight was cancelled 12 hours before takeoff. I was not able to reschedule another flight to make connections and had to cancel the entire trip. The ticket that was supposed to replace the cancelled flight had no boarding pass and I was unable to get one at the airport so I was denied access to the rescheduled flight. I was refunded but I missed my daughter's birthday.

I had a family emergency and couldn’t make the flight, and they wouldn’t let me cancel/refund it (a *month* ahead of time), were especially difficult with me on the phone, and wouldn’t let me even so much as reschedule the flight or get credit.

Flight was cancelled, communication was poor and should have canceled flight much earlier.
