Cons: "There are too many announcements on the screen before you can start watching entertainment. It takes about 15 minutes."
Pros: "Good entertainment choices."
Cons: "Uncomfortable seat with insufficient legroom wouldn't recline. Inadequate overhead storage (full flight)"
Pros: "The flight itself was fine."
Cons: "The gate change was not announced on my phone app (changed from E7 to D49). I hate leaving out of Terminal E at MIA. There is no point to having TSA Pre-Check if you have to stand in line with people who don't have it. I have to remove my liquids and laptop. It's such a shabby, run-down terminal."
Cons: "American Airlies no longer partners with T-Mobile for free WiFi. :-("
Pros: "Jesus, the flight was phenomenal! He lightened up the atmosphere with his wit and grace."
Pros: "Pretty standard flight"
Cons: "Inconvenient timing and overcrowded with obnoxious children sitting on laps. No attempts made to change their behavior by crew or parents."
Pros: "Let's see - I was in first class. The flight itself was fine - and only one hour + late!"
Cons: "Food - Served the "breakfast" (when it was called a protein plate) I had coming (into MSP). for "lunch" on the way back (called it a meat plate for lunch. One slice turkey, one slice jamon, one egg, cinnamon roll and fruit. Just because they don't want to serve bread - they call it a protein plate? I'm not on a protein diet. Food was pretty sick for the amount I paid for the fight. Stewardess said it was against Republic's rules to give a customer a can of tonic water (so I could add to the small amount of vodka) - she also told me that it was against Delta's, American's and United's rules to give a can - strange? First Class seat did not recline. First Class was freezing per every flight on this segment (the stewardesses sit in the back and don't want to be uncomfortable - if they make the front warm - the back is too hot for them (not joking on this one). So many things to list - that I will finish on the AA site."
Cons: "Didn't like the two hour delay, especially when I was notified only a half hour before boarding! This seems to be a normal thing for American Airlines."
Pros: "Easy and quick boarding. Excellwnt service in first class. Comfortable ride."
Cons: "Nothing. Excellent travel experience."
Pros: "Staff was great!"
Cons: "Seats were really uncomfortable up and reclined. Overhead baggage was full by the time I boarded and there was no enforcement of the carry-on baggage sizes... This needs to be addressed and contributed to our lack of comfort, noting this was the last leg of an 18 hour journey. My body still hurts today after a good nights sleep."
Pros: "Crew was nice, boarding went smoothly."
Cons: "As always, seats are very tight and not super comfortable... but that’s true for all airlines these days, unfortunately."
Cons: "When I sat down I found a opened package of cookies which is provided on plan. Tray table had a lot of cookie crumbles too."
Pros: "I liked the ticket price."
Cons: "The seat was very narrow with absolutely minimal leg space, and a carry-on bag was not included in the fare."
Pros: "These people have no idea who or what United Airlines is. They work for Delta, and make sure they tell everyone about it."
Cons: "See above. The flight itself was fantastic. Larger planes are the best! Thank you!"
Pros: "Seem to be a smooth and direct flight"
Cons: "The flight was fine however my seat was next to the bathroom and people would occasionaly Bump in to me ."
Cons: "Over two hours delayed. Had to carry on carry off my bags that were heavy. Messed up my schedule. Had to incur extra charges at San Diego destination due to the inconvenience."
Cons: "Our flight was delayed out of Mpls 2 hours so we had to rebook everything since we would miss our connection in Denver to Honolulu. The process of rebooking was terrible -- took almost 2 hours standing in line and the booking agent wasn't knowledgable Had to make an additional stop in LAX and arrived in Honolulu 5 hours later than we were supposed to. VERY disappointing experience all around!"
Pros: "The trip went smoothly and it was on time. The Crew was nice and efficient"
Cons: "The aircraft was full and they had a nonworking lavatory. And I asked the flight attendant that the lavatory was broken and he told me no there was somebody in there and he lied."
Pros: "Very friendly staff. Very smooth bag check. It was crowded but the line moved quickly. Boarding was very organized and easy to maneuver. The flight was very enjoyable and we actually landed 20 minutes early. United has once again provided an excellent flying experience!"
Cons: "There was no part of the entire united experience I did not like."
Cons: "Seats are VERY uncomfortable. Staff is not really friendly. First time on Frontier, I will try to avoid it if I can"
Pros: "Plane was clean, crew was very nice"
Cons: "The most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. No cushioning, No seat recline"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Service. The companies clear disinterest in providing service was evident by the poor training of the staff."
Cons: "We didn't make it to Vegas and they barely compensated us."
Pros: "The seats we had were spacious"
Cons: "I guess I don’t understand, what I pay my fare for if I have to pay a separate fee for seat. The fare should include the seat. Then to charge you an arm and a leg for your luggage. I will never ever fly frontier again"
Pros: "The crew was amazing. So happy and helpful."
Cons: "Flight leaving to Denver was really delayed. Quite a few people missed their connecting flights which was sad."
Cons: "The plane was left standing in the runway for an hour past midnight, even though the airport was not busy. This led to further delays in renting a car, and we lost a good nights sleep for our short weekend."
Cons: "Seats and traytables are both issues. Uncomfortable and made for a rough trip even with a short flight time"
Pros: "Attendants were very nice"
Cons: "No leg room and need more food, boarding took quite a while and got out seat placements wrong twice"
Cons: "Flight is not on time .l spent. More than two hours"
Cons: "Spirit does not provide any complementary snacks or beverages and does not provide any entertainment devices for its passengers. Their seats do not recline and they have very little room in the regular economy seats. I expected all of this when I booked this ticket but those who don’t know should."
Cons: "I purchased one checked bag online the morning of the flight. It was not found in the system so I was charged the rate for checking at the gate. I also understand bare bones operation but would have appreciated the offer of a cup of water. Thanks. Rose McGlinsky"
Pros: "Quick and easy flight"
Cons: "Could not enter the gate, waited on the tarmac after arriving for a long time with rude flight attendants."
Pros: "The crew was fun. I didn’t want to buy a $2.00 bottle of water on my card. Seats are to crapped."
Cons: "Crew"
Pros: "I liked the fare."
Cons: "The seat was worn out. The check in isn't user friendly. The attendant was stern"
Pros: "Good value"
Cons: "Flight attendants need to make it clear that all refreshments are for sale, not free Flight was 30 minutes late"
Pros: "A ticketing agent showed me how to use the boarding pass kiosk. No delays. Smooth landing under less than ideal weather conditions. Must have been an Air Force pilot."
Cons: "Cramped seating. My 6'+ tall sons would have been uncomfortable. Expensive adult beverages."
Pros: "I had very low expectations of Spirit Airlines... from their reputation and things I read online. But my family and I had a GREAT experience yesterday. Our bag check process went smoothly and the staff was very courteous. Everything went smoothly for boarding and my husband, my son and I all sat together in the same row. Everything couldn't have went smoother and i really wondered what all the fuss was about Spirit airlines??? We had a really great experience and would do it again. Can't beat the price, even if you pay to check a couple of bags ahead of time."
Cons: "Seriously the worst baggage fees in the industry. Never again."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "At least they didn't try to sell us again on the credit card."
