Airline reviews
Cons: "Freezing in biz class and NO extra blankets. Existing ones too short. No nibbles service either. Pathetic."
Cons: "Freezing in biz class and NO extra blankets. Existing ones too short. No nibbles service either. Pathetic."
Cons: "Plane was unbearably hot for whole flight and smelled like a diaper"
Cons: "Wi fi wasn’t working I didn’t understand the media and it didn’t work No screen"
Pros: "The plane was clean and the ticket was cheap."
Cons: "Boarding process was needlessly complicated — just assign everybody a seat beforehand. Gate agents were rude. Seats are very uncomfortable and it’s difficult to sleep on red eyes. It should be prohibited to fly 737s cross-country."
Pros: "My seat was broken and didn’t recline on a red eye flight"
Cons: "My seat was broken and didn’t recline"
Pros: "No in seat entertainment"
Cons: "No snacks or beverages offered on a six hour flight"
Pros: "The crew was very happy and welcoming."
Cons: "We were late and I missed my flight. I was told Flt 452 from LAX to JFK is notoriously late. Also, there could have been more updates about our delayed arrival."
Pros: "WiFi worked better than most flights I’ve been on"
Cons: "Airline allowed people to bring way too many carry on’s aboard there was no room left for individuals that only brought one. Restrooms were horrible. Flight was the coldest I’ve ever experienced."
Pros: "The crew was good. I LOVED the fun mileage game while waiting to board."
Cons: "Not everyone knew to download the app for the purposes of onboard entertainment so that should have been announced a few times."
Pros: "I love the legroom. Alaska seems to have more of it and I will fly when I can on Alaska just for that! Crew was very nice too."
Cons: "Nothing to eat! By the time I ordered at the back of the plane there wasn’t any food left except one cheese plate. Very disappointed as I wanted the Asian salad and there were none. Need more selections and more food onboard. Some free peanuts would be nice."
Cons: "Despite the delay of almost 3 hours (which we were informed much earlier than getting to the airport at) the plane was 40% empty so can’t complain at the end of the day"
Pros: "It was my first experience & I couldn’t had enjoyed it more ! Words can’t explain"
Cons: "Nothing everything was great"
Pros: "Nice leather seats and more leg room than a few other companies."
Cons: "Add Subtitles to the movies at list in English thanks Tzach"
Pros: "Everything was smooth, great service, friendly staff and captain. Arrived ahead of time. Free Wifi. Great inflight entertainment."
Pros: "You can always count on JetBlue for good snacks and free WiFi."
Cons: "But the snacks and free WiFi is not enough to payback the delayed departure experience. Just a week prior, my JetBlue flight was scheduled on time and then three things delayed thre flight for three hours right before we took off and now this! I was told it was due to needing to replace a crew member from another delayed flight. How can that affect so many people? The seat was also super uncomfortable and the back of the cushion was rolling forward, which made it hard to sit for that long. we also didn’t have a gate when we landed so that added on an extra 30minutes. Really disappointed."
Pros: "I always shop on kayak. It's reliable because of the consistant results."
Pros: "Crew was nice. Took off on time."
Cons: "A little wobbly on the landing. Felt like I was going to be sick. Crew could maybe enforce opening up path to the gate a bit more. People that get in the way of those called to board."
Pros: "Food"
Cons: "The scren was not working! This was a bit upsetting at my flight was 5 hours."
Pros: "Smooth, great service, free wi fi that really works and lots of free snacks and water which nowadays may seem like a real perk."
Cons: "Everything was great!"
Pros: "Seating and serving, both very good"
Cons: "I couln't get my view on for movies, since there was (I presume) a charge for the earphones. Won't know now what happened to Jean Grey. Maybe offer a small book cart as an alternative entertainment for us cheapskates? do-de-do..."

Pros: "Crew was excellent. Friendly and always with a smile."
Cons: "The headphones distort the sound too much. You miss half the dialogue if you are using the Delta headphones."
Cons: "The boarding process at LAX was awful. I’m sure the horrible shuttle wait and transfer from terminal to terminal is the airport’s fault, but the airline did not do anywhere near enough to inform passengers of what was in store. It was confusing and annoying."
Pros: "Free Tillamook snacks that were filling, upgraded snacks"

Pros: "The crew was friendly and boarding was quick, seats were comfortable and plane was clean"

Pros: "4 1/2 hour late boarding! Missed my connecting flight and was stuck!"
Cons: "Had a 4 1/2 hour delay from Minneapolis to NY city. Which of course cause me to miss my flight to Europe. There was no attempt to find another flight that would get me there in time. By the time I got to NY it was close to Midnight, and the only hotel available was 40 mins away from the airport at an additional cost of $270 for the room and uber rides. No compensation even offered or provided for extra expenses they caused by us leaving so late. Thank you Sun Country for starting my vacation off so well."
