Over a 3 hour flight. The turbulence was almost imperceptible except for 2 short periods which were not bad and over quickly. The attendants claimed "Safety first" and sat looking at their phones for 3 hours with no drink or snack service. This isn't the first time with Southwest. I thinkit may be there new plan of operation. Oh, and it was June 18, Southwest's Birthday which offered free drinks. NOT.

The flight was okay. The pilots did an amazing job and kept us updated on the flight. The flight attendants were okay. They found time to be chatty with each other rather than focus on the guests. One of the attendants was a little less warm when asking about my bag I had on my lap that I was using during latter part of the mid- flight. Mind you, it was not the departure descent. I’m respectful to each and every attendant, it was the tone in her voice reminding me to place my carryon bag on the floor. I hope to have a better experience next time.

Pretty seamless, just a tad bit late in taking off and landing.

Everything a cheap airline should be at normal airline rates.

Delays delays delays. Late taking off, late landing, wait for a gate, etc.

Multiple delays and gate changes. Arrived at final destination 6 hours late. All rental cars had been taken.

Crew was pleasant; flight was on time. Paid extra for early bird check-in and still got B boarding.

I will be flying again Southwest Airlines. Friendly crew, comfortable and affordable.

Crew was great - friendly and helpful with boarding - letting folks know where overhead space was available thus getting us out of the gate on time.

Captain Scott and FO Brandon were outstanding as was the entire flight attendant crew. I wish they were on every flight!

The flights are constantly late anymore, and they won't even give you a glass of water on the plane. For years, they were able to do a service on this flight from Atlanta to Knoxville and Knoxville Atlanta now they say it's too short of a flight. You can't even get a quick drink of water.

Should never have had to go to Detroit from Orlando back to Tennessee!

My flight was canceled on Sunday. Rebooking took three hours. Had to pay for accommodations another night. New flight was delayed for 5 hours, all that was sent was a 12 dollar food voucher, which doesn’t tell you how to use it. Then when we landed we had to sit on the plane for an hour before we could get off.

Same experience as the flight from Norfolk to Atlanta where people are boarded in zones that don't make sense. People behind you on the plane will get on before you and they take the luggage space on your row.

Delta has too many delays now days. It is 1:06 am now. I was supposed to land in Norfolk at 10:30 pm. I got re-booked through Detroit and I’m still in Detroit. I hope to be landed in Norfolk by 3am. I’ve been in airports for 12 hours as of right now. There is a weather delay now but most delays lately have been maintenance.

Smallest leg room I've ever had on a plane.

This is the first time I've been disappointed with Delta. I was called by Delta to see if I would volunteer to change flights since my original flight home was overbooked. I accepted. The modified booking only provided me a 35 minute layover - when you subtract the fact that boarding closes for a flight 15 minutes early, that gave me 20 minutes to run for one end of the airport to the other. I barely made it. On the 2.5 hour flight to Tampa, the crew repeatedly let us know over the intercom that they cannot serve drinks or snacks due to safety/turbulence. I would have accepted this reason if they did not CONTINUALLY SERVE DRINKS AND COOKED FOOD to First class. If safety is the excuse then the entire plane should be strapped in for safety. On top of this the air conditioning vents were not working correctly and the plane was uncomfortably warm. I love Delta and am a loyal Delta traveler, and I have never had an experience like this. I don't know if there's a disconnect between availability among third-party sites like KAYAK and the airlines or what, but when overbooking causes issues like this for travelers it should be reviewed and changes to the booking process should be made. I blame BOTH KAYAK and Delta for this terrible experience.

The plant way delayed departing by 3 hours. It was an old airplane with broken seats and armrests. The bathroom made a hollering sound. A really crappy flight experience and travel day all around.

A regional sized plane was used for a cross country flight with no overhead bin space. I had to "pink check" my laptop and my medications. I was NOT pleased!!!!

I always fly with Delta. My friends tell me their horror stories of flying with other airlines. I just smile and say, “You should fly Delta”

They delayed the flight 3 hours because it wasn't full they moved us to 5 different gates probably the worst airline ever not even spirit is this bad.

Poor communication, flight was delayed for preventable reasons. I missed my connection.

We had excellent customer service despite the chaos at George Bush airport in Houston!

The flight was delayed so we were dead tired, and after that the turbulence was horrible. I was very scared.

Fine not above and beyond as I had a connection that was delayed due to maintenance

Was happy we finally got upgraded in 1st class. The seat getting old. The cushiness need some improvement.

Once we got in the air the pilot made up some of the time of the delay. So that was really nice.

We boarded but then sat there waiting on some missed connection people to get on so we sat for about 15 minutes for that. Then we sat again because the passenger manifest was wrong and they had to figure it out before we could leave. That took about another 20 minutes or so. The crew was working hard to figure it out so it’s not their fault. It ended up being a system glitch where someone was upgraded to first class while another person was also in the same seat and it just created a mess that took a little while to figure out. They literally went to every person on the plane asking their names to see who was sitting in the wrong seat. I also hate the entertainment that must be watched on your phone or tablet. Just give us setback screens. It’s so much better. Almost every Delta flight has this now and it is so nice to have them. The crew did a great job. I have no complaints from them. They were very hard working, even with the mishap and a disgruntled passenger.

Boarding was quick and efficient. My screen didn’t come on and everyone else had theirs working so a little bummer but it was a short flight!

They makes us feel confident on the flight. There was no any cancelation and they are really helpful with us.

Delayed by 5 hours and I had to wit in the airport for more than 6+ hours.

technology worked well and everything ran smoothly. The seats are quite cramped so please don't try to re-engineer the cabin to squeeze more bodies on board.

Flying in the United States with the major airlines has become so underwhelming. A 2-3hr flight in most other parts of the world with the major carriers of the area comes with newer, CLEANER aircraft and significantly better in flight service in terms of both staff attitude and a actual meal service.

Delays experienced in boarding/take off due to incoming plane delayed. However, the boarding time/depart time in the app was significantly delayed in providing these updates. Usually not updated until an hour after we should have already boarded. Poorly managed.

I very rarely fly American and my experience today reenforces that is the correct decision. While the staff were all very courteous, our flight was first thing in the morning so there was no reason to be delayed, yet appropriate maintenance checks weren’t completed prior to our flight so we were delayed multiple times. Not a great showing, American Airlines.

Arrived early picked up my bag in a few minutes- great trip - thank you

Flight was smooth, quick and felt safe. The 2 delays not happening would have been better but I guess that happens in the airline industry

The pilot greased the landing and the crew was fantastic.

delayed due to weather. Could not communicate with family since the wifi was broken

More room. International flight - by the time you put your purse and shoes under the seat in front of you, add in the pillow and blanket they give you- makes for tight fit.
