It’s Southwest. The seats are small, the snacks are meh, it’s $50 to check a bag. It’s exactly fine. Could have been better. Could have been worse. It’s not Spirit

It’s Southwest. The seats are small, the snacks are meh, it’s $50 to check a bag. It’s exactly fine. Could have been better. Could have been worse. It’s not Spirit

I got a bit sick on the flight, and was so grateful when the male flight attendant explained to me they keep the back row open for cases like mine. He took such great care of me! I was incredibly grateful.

Exceptional. The gate crew responded quickly and got me onto this earlier flight as the final passenger, saving me more than four hours of wait time for my reserved flight.

One major problem that was very unprofessional and uncalled for. Plane landed and we had to wait 20 minutes to get off the plane since they were waiting for someone to come to the gate to drive the jetway. Southwest couldn't have someone available and waiting for the plane to land? Is there only one person in Hobby airport who knows to drive the jetway? Was he at lunch? In the bar? Uncomfortable and uncalled for!

if I was good. Not happy that I have to pay extra money to get the seat I need for lake room, but I guess that’s a sign of the times.

no service at all due to turbulence. they should've at least given us snacks, there were only 10 people on the entire flight.

Had a great flight. Delayed takeoff, but comfortable. Snacks were good.

The flight was delayed about 20 minutes, but this was an evening flight, so it comes as no surprise. This flight came a good 1.5 days ahead of hurricane Helene which was still far out in the gulf. However, the flight never removed the seated buckle light. The staff announced from the beginning that due to the bad weather (I suppose the hurricane a day and a half away) they would have to do an abbreviated service with water and a snack. I am fine with their water and snack offering, but this was one of the smoothest flights I've had in years. If Southwest believes a flight like this requires everyone to remain seated, then all of their flights should remain buckled for the entire flight. I cannot help but wonder if things like this are a sneaky way to cut back on expenses since the airline is currently under a lot of pressure to reduce costs.

Although the flight was delayed, but the crew was amazing. They did the best they could to make the time enjoyable.

My experience was find with Southwest. The only issue I have is...at the exact time for me to check in...I don't understand how I always end up in C.

Love Delta. I'll take connections to stay on Delta even if another airline has a direct flight.

There was overbooking that delayed boarding. Then an airport emergency lockdown that caused further delays in boarding. However the time was made up during flight and there was a minimal delay in landing. Everything else was excellent.

Sat in the plane at the gate in SLC for 2+ hours before take off, getting me home nearly 3 hours later than planned.

Really hard to tell what was happening after my flight got delayed five times

I’m on this flight every other week. Same flight, same day of the week, same time of day… Multiple times there are issues getting flight plan registered and FAA approved r to take off. PAPERWORK This is exhausting and it sucks.

Chaotic boarding at these gates, multiple gates squeezed in at the very end of a concourse, behind a restaurant. Agents gave up on boarding by individual zones. Flight itself was uneventful, which is all we hope for any more.

Flight delayed due to ground hold. Republic airways did a great job.

The flight was smooth, the crew was great but the plane was quite old

Flight was warm for first few hours and quite rough

Flight was delayed several times. At one point, they "pulled back" 15 minutes from the delayed boarding and sent a text saying we would board sooner than previously advised. The flight then was delayed again. And when we boarded, there was an unspecified technical issue which had us waiting in the plane for about an hour.

United staff were very communicative, the new starlink Wifi is amazing as I was able to work easily.

Seats are made for children. An 8 hour flight with tiny seats is more like a cattle car. Lost bags at Rome airport caused a 7 hour delay.

Set on the plane for two hours before pushing off the gate due to the power source issue being fixed which was known before letting people board the plane. On top of that it was very hot as AC was not working properly. Terrible experience and limited communication provided by the crew on the status of the issue. They should let people deplane while issue is addressed instead of frying them and glued to the seats.

Worst boarding experience, flight extremely delayed causing super tight connect and deplaning was a disaster as ppl were pushing and shoving to get off. Then after flying over 8 hours had to get off a job to next flight. Limited beverage service in Business class (water or white wine) no food. The plane was very cold (temperature) so uncomfortable

- delayed because video screens not working - delayed getting a gate at DCA Just continued bad experience IAH to DCA.

Entertainment was great. Seats were good. They did not have my pre-ordered hot food product available but did comp me something cold in place of the item.

No water or beverage was provided. I had to ask for water. The sole flight attendant had more interest in selling the credit card. In addition when we got to Dulles the plane and gate were misaligned and it took at least 15 minutes to get off the plane.

Flight was delayed almost an hour because the cleaning crew broke one of the bathroom doors.

When we boarded we were treated with care and it never stopped. Got towels before breakfast and after snacks was a lovely touch!

Awful!!!. I do not recommend United. The flight staff are unhappy and don't attempt to make the passengers feel comfortable or welcome. The food is not edible, and the seats are miserable. My expensive luggage was destroyed, and the ticket prices are too much for the experience.

Four hour delay due to late plane arrival- second year in a row on MCO - DCA route. Pitiful service reliability from American. Will avoid in future

The old CRJ700's are rough, slightly larger regional jet would have been nice.

It took 1.5 hours for maintenance to sign off on a repair that was completed the night before. When we landed in DC we had to wait 20 mins for a gate. As a result I missed my connection. American seems to be reducing the number of ground ground crew and causing delays. This us not the first time.

The delays were not communicated well at all. I was in the airport for over 9 hours with little knowledge of if I was actually going to reach my destination.

Seats are very comfortable but WAY too small...i'm only 5'11" and 170 lbs but i barely fit in the chair! Food is just abysmal. I don't even bother eating. Staff were very professional, boarding was smooth, and plenty of room in overheads.

As per usual for my flights with American Airlines, One flight was very delayed and caused me to miss my connection and they moved my flight to another day. I called customer support and was moved back to my original day but different flights. My layover flight was delayed by an additional 30 minutes while the flight crew confirmed that the plane was airworthy. Ultimately, it is less hassle to drive 10 hours than to fly 6 hours with American Airlines. I recommend my friends and family to hitch hike over taking this terrible transit.

My flight was delayed close to 10 times over the course of the evening. I was originally scheduled to depart at 7:03 PM but did not leave until 12:33 AM, resulting in over 9 hours spent waiting at the airport. The only explanation provided was that the aircraft kept being swapped, with no clear reasoning as to why. Weather conditions at both DCA and Tampa were clear, so that was not a factor. The only accommodation offered was a $12 food voucher, which was entirely insufficient given the length of the delay. Overall, I was completely unsatisfied with this experience. A delay of this magnitude with no meaningful communication or accommodations is unacceptable, and I would have expected much more from American Airlines in terms of customer care.

if it's a mobile only entertainment experience, please provide a place to hold the device in the back of the seat.

Nice aircraft. Plane was PACKED full and distance between seats was tight. Had it been more than a two hour flight it would not have been tolerable. I had much more knee space on the JetBlue flight I went out on.

Girl crew member looked like she was just getting up from sleep with her hair a mess, that’s not profesional and lower the standars of your company

On Frontier's website and on the app it clearly states that "Eligible active-duty U.S. military personnel and their accompanying spouse and children, when the service member is present and traveling on the same itinerary, will receive complimentary baggage benefits after successfully verifying their military status through ID.me" however, when checking in at the counter the attendant at the ticketing counter stated that it was only for the active duty service member, when I showed the attendant what it stated on the Frontier website and app she gave me an attitude but did change it eventually.

Airport staff was terrible, they made up excusses on how I can get to my terminal, I missed my flight then had to pay for A whole other flight! Worst experience ever, even A employee also loughed and said yea sorry for our poor training.

THE BARE METAL SEATS AT THE FRONTIER GATE IN CLEVELAND HOPKINS AIRPORT ARE DISGUSTING...BUT JUST A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE SEAT MATERIALS ON THE PLANE! THE "COMMERCIAL" ANNOUNCMENT PUSHING THE CREDIT CARD DEAL IS OBNOXIOUS AND UNWELCOME! THE VOLUME OF THE OFFER ANNOUNCMENET BLARES LOUDLY AND IS FILLED WITH A HYPED UP, CANNED SCRIPT. BOTTOM LINE IS THE FLIGHT AND THE CREW WERE VERY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE.

Maximizing profits is one way to a healthy bottom line, the other is repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers. Frontier has clearly chosen the former. One of many examples: Family emergency required me to cut trip short. Headed to the airport to fly standby for the return trip I had already paid for (yes I understand prices vary with demand etc). Was told there is no standby and that I would need to pay for, despite what it's called by the company, what amounts to a new ticket. And surprise surprise, there turned out to be dozens of empty seats on that flight. To say nothing of the sleazy third and fourth party resellers, the flight/ticket insurance I elected and thought I had paid for that mysteriously wasn't there when I needed it before I left, and on and on with third world sleazy management decisions. The inflight coffee (that I had to pay for) was very good though.

You have to be super careful when purchasing as *everything*, a carryon or a sip of soda, has a fee. They relentlessly chip away at you with surcharges and extra costs … and it’s not always clear what you are getting when you buy your ticket. Will not fly them again. And … crew were not friendly until off boarding .. like they don’t like working for Frontier.

Air was off while waiting on the runway and the temperatures became very uncomfortably hot. Flight attendants were very loud and rude the entire flight.

Crew was kind of grumpy and there was no beverage service at all. Sodas were $4. Disappointing.

There's no seats that lean back with little leg space i wad uncomfortable the entire flight. Your charges for extra baggage is despicable and costly!!

There was no food and no entertainment, so I'm not sure why these are even in the survey, as my understanding is frontier does not ever offer food without a few, not even a snack, and there are no screens so unless the flight safety talk is our entertainment why ask how we liked it?. One of the flight attendants say in the back of the plane as people filed in to their seats, yelling orders about where to put baggage and telling people to hurry up. It was the least professional experience I've ever had on a flight.

The worst. We never made our connection and they did absolutely nothing to help us at the airport.
