Make sure you know the baggage rules, don’t bring more than you need, and if you get a rental car, know that people target them for break-ins. Never leave anything in your car. Going in for a snack? Take your bags. Basically, drive to your hotel, take the bags out immediately and put them in your room, and try to leave nothing in the car ever. It’s not always this bad, but they spot rentals from a mile away. Be smart, be safe.
PeterFlew with Air CanadaSep 2024
Etihad is a market leader in every category. It’s too bad they generally don’t fly out of Canada (except for SE Asia/ME/Asia. I’d take them in a second over AC. Took one in a trip to Male and was blown away. AC seems like a discount carrier compared to them. And Etihad was always on time! On the last 20 segments I have taken with AC, less than 20% were on time (or not cancelled outright).
ArijitFlew with IndiGoSep 2024
If using Indigo, try to carry less cabin luggage or else try boarding ahead of your Zone call - else you may struggle to find space. Don't rely on flight food at Indigo. Visata is much better. As of now, Indigo is lesser evil - till Vistara and Air India get together and hopefully do some magic.
KathyFlew with Cathay PacificSep 2024
There is no section by section boarding, except for people needing extra time, or first class. So I advise you to line up right away. It's a bit confusing at first, but just line up when they start boarding, no matter what your seat is, or you'll be last in line!
PaulFlew with Air CanadaSep 2024
Air Canada from Montreal was good. But next trip we will fly TAP to Lisbon because TAP disembarked into the terminal whereas AC parked away and passengers had to bus to the airport. This routing added an extra 45-60 minutes to clearing the airport in LIS
DanaFlew with Alaska AirlinesSep 2024
That was my first time flying Milwaukee to Seattle & vice versa. I think we choose a good airline. Seattle’s traffic & airport is busier than Milwaukee so get there at least 2 hours early. Download & keep an eye on the Alaska airline app for flight info updates.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesSep 2024
I will not fly to ICN and transfer to Hawaiian again. Both Asiana and KAL are good flights to ICN. And their lounges are both good. But if flying onward, stay with Asiana or KAL connections. ICN doesn’t do terminal connections well.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysSep 2024
Make sure you arrive early enough for boarding. I had a 1 hr layover from Charleston that that was just enough time to get off the plane and walk over to the international side before they started boarding.
KevinFlew with Cebu PacificSep 2024
Bring charging cord as the have ports on the plane. You have to buy water, so get it in the airport, as 3 bottles is the same price as 1 warm bottle on the plane.
DavianFlew with SouthwestSep 2024
Don't rent a car or Uber. Add Clipper Card to your digital phone wallet and use it to take the Bart! It was super easy and very clean with spectacular views along the way
SteliosFlew with Sky ExpressSep 2024
Aegean airlines is still the best experience in Greece, one of the best in Europe. Buses from the airport are cheaper than metro. Recharge your ticket in the machines and help be more ecological
DONALDFlew with SouthwestSep 2024
None for this leg. But it seems the earlier the better for seating. The flight is usually not filled to capacity, so you can usually get an aisle or window seat fairly easy.
Verified travelerFlew with KLMSep 2024
Drink enough water before the flight and, if possible, carry a sachet with electrolytes to counteract the effect of the dry environment of the plane and reduce the effect of jetlag.
TrygveFlew with Cathay PacificSep 2024
For me it’s all about sleep. Try to sleep as much as possible. Bring a good book and don’t eat too much as it is a very long flight
MarkFlew with United AirlinesSep 2024
Unless you are “held hostage” by mileage plus program. Don’t take this flight if it’s an old short haul aircraft. Delta has more and more comfortable flights to Atlanta
Verified travelerFlew with NorwegianSep 2024
The service on the flight is amazing, and also the team responsible to see you on board are very helpful. Reach there in time because everything is timely.
TamaraFlew with Spirit AirlinesSep 2024
Choose airlines close to your home. Especially for uber purposes. Every airline that allows a carryon is ggreat. Complimentary snacks are a plus and add competent courteous staff.

From Portland specifically- fly Alaska. It’s just easier. Other airlines are fine, but when I’m going to and from Portland, I almost exclusively fly Alaska.

Had to go to 2 security checks for connecting flights and could not take water/soda purchased in terminal onto the flight.... so plan accordingly

Make sure you eat at the airport before boarding… if you have time walk around the airport bc there’s lots of places to eat.

I have only flown Air Canada and British Airways, and while both are excellent, I have to give the edge to British Airways.

Gulf Air has a good checked baggage policy (2 x 23 kgs). The carry-on allowance at 6 kgs is not bad too.

Have plenty of patience for the casual travelers! They are oblivious of rules and etiquettes that slows down the process for everyone. Case in point, a guy held up the line trying to place both his personal item (should be UNDER the seat in front of you) and his carry on case horizontally. Obviously not aware of the big poster right in front of his displaying the proper way of placing his case on it's side. Slowed the whole line of people behind him. Also be mindful the agents in Ontario airport (or any smaller airports) might not be the most knowledgeable on the rules and regulations of air travel, luggage specification allowances etc. Stay patient!! Also the seats do not recline that well anymore on AA flights. So if you have back problems, be sure to bring some back supports.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesSep 2024
The "pay to pick your seat" policy stinks. It's even worse than "pay to pick a seat you'd want to sit in" that airlines have been doing for a while. There is no cohesive policy for how one *gets* a seat assignment- at LAX my boarding pass had a seat assignment; in Portland, the ticketing agent told me the gate agent "had" to do it, but the gate agent said it had been assigned the whole time even though my boarding pass had a blank space where the seat assignment should have been.
DinaFlew with LATAM AirlinesSep 2024
Madrid airport is one of the most difficult airports I have ever visited. An absolute nightmare for new travelers to this airport. Please give assistance to the people connecting flights and remember that this T4 and T4S is confusing and there is only ONE information desk hidden among the food court and no one to ask. Corridors are empty and the people who are checking the lines don’t give any other assistance but supervision.

If you think you’ll be hungry, bring food on board or eat before boarding. Don’t pay extra for a premium seat unless you want to sit toward the front of the plane. The seats are not different from one section to another. The bathroom smelled and was tight.
PeterFlew with Air CanadaSep 2024
Don’t expect to ever be on time to your destination. The Montreal-Toronto-Montreal route is AIr Canada’s highest volume route and they are almost never on time. In my experience (20 flight segments in the last 12 months) less than 20% have been on time.

Air Transat and Lufthansa seem to have the best onboard experience. Air Canada was good, too. Azores Airlines and Sunwing are to be avoided at all costs. The former lost half the plane's luggage and the latter couldn't be on time to save its life.

Calgary airport is nuts… so busy, give yourself a little time. Disappointed that I couldn’t use the lounge voucher because Elevation closed for renovations and Aspire had a waiting list.

Do NOT choose BA! I will no longer use BA because of their lack of alternate planning! I would have been stranded in Zagreb for 2 extra days!
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysSep 2024
Give yourself a minimum of two days it seems to ensure you have time for at least one cancellation and multiple delays without being informed.

We did not notice at booking price for suitcases. At the airport, they charged us a whopping 170 euros for 2 small suitcases! Outrageous

Don’t expect too much from westjet. Most of the staff are rude. Only silver lining is that my flight was on time

Be prepared to go to the international terminal from domestic terminal. It takes lot of time and could be a little confusing.

Honestly I wouldn't fly out of Abidjan again. That airport is slow, poorly managed, unhelpful and unfriendly. Bad experience overall.

Do not fly British airways they canceled our flight, offered us a hotel in London. then didn't give us one.

Be prepared to wait to get your visa. E visa not accepted as they lack the software at VF airport

Beware of the low entry price because they will overcharge you later when you check in and board flight.

I will probably try to avoid Frankfurt from now on. The airport is very complicated. Lots of walking!

Never fly BA through Gatwick. An old, under resourced airport which will absolutely negatively impact your journey

Flight was delayed. Can happen. But the info on the website and app said that flight was cancelled which was not the case.

Flight was delayed. Can happen. But the info on the website and app said that flight was cancelled which was not the case.

The whole trip was excellent. The only thing I would change is the temperature of the plane was a bit high which made it uncomfortable to sleep.

Delay, luggage didn’t arrive. Had to go the next day to collect it

KLM is my favourite airline. Never ever let us down.Staff are first class.

The plane. Airbus A330-200. Comfortable for a 7-hour flight. Seats seemed to have more legroom. I was in row 17. Flight was operated by Delta but was better than expected.

Pretty bad. Food was awful. drinks were scarce, as if drinking an extra drink would ruin the airline. attendants were not very helpful. likely Dutch "directedness" (I cannot be bothered). Crammed flight. Entertainment in very minimal dosage. Almost all old movies and series with 1-3 episodes only. Very limited number of options available. Jesus!! it seems you need to bring your own entertainment these days even of flights that are 13 hrs long!! I would and I will avoid in the future!

Quick and efficient as always. Air France managed to loose and damage my luggage that never made it onto my KLM flight.

The flight was again delayed for more then 2 hours with some lousy explanation regarding the reason of the delay. Although the flight was delayed for more than 2 hours, no refreshments were offered (according to EU regulations). Last 4 flights on KLM - always at least 2 hrs late. So be prepared that you cannot plan anything with KLM.

We left one hour late because of technical difficulties. The economy comfort seats are great for the price. The crew was mediocre, they do not provide a pleasant experience, they just deliver food and drinks and give orders, not very amicable, no service and hospitality focus.

Seats are fair enough for medium tall people. Good food all the trip. Fight attendances are warm
