Scores according to KAYAK customer reviews
Cons: "Well if my future father in law was on the flight it would have been wonderful, but he passed away July 7th, and I did get refunded, and we are mourning his loss and keep getting notifications about the flight and emails which makes it very difficult mentally. So it would be nice if Delta would get their process of refunds especially when it's a death to maybe not get notified. I was the one that purchased the tickets for him in April."

Pros: "Everything went smoothly"
Cons: "???"
Cons: "No entertainment options at all."
Cons: "I was placed on an earlier flight as soon as I arrived at the Portland airport. The flight was full, there was no room for my bag in the overhead bins. The bag was checked, not to just Seattle but all the way to Venice. Well, surprise, surprise, the bag was lost on the way to Venice. KLM does not allow enough time in Amsterdam for luggage to make a connecting flight."
Pros: "The Delta crew is always nice I got wings and a lot of snacks"
Cons: "On the McDonnell Douglas 88 (MD-88) there wasn’t any IFE ( In Flight Entertainment) screen."
Pros: "The flight itself was fine, boarded on time and arrived on time."

Pros: "Flight crew was excellent"

Cons: "Even though there were sunchips available, they were not giving them out to everyone. Only the people that paid up in coach got the sun chips. The rest of us got these sad bag of pretzels and cheesey snacks. So sad. Why wouldn't Delta offer the same snacks to everyone? Seems like such a small additional cost compared to such an offensive action. The money you save is certainly lost in bad publicity."
Pros: "See above..."
Cons: "See above"
Cons: "No wifi, no leg room"
Cons: "Delta"
Pros: "Everything went smoothly."
Cons: "The row I chose for a seat was next to the bathrooms. Those seats don’t recline. Found it it’s very hard to sleep sitting upright. That made the flight and the first day of my international trip difficult. It would be nice for the sites seat selection feature to include such nfo on seats. I paid nearly $2000 for a shitty seat."
Pros: "Outlets to charge your phone and watch movies."
Cons: "It wasnt specified which terminal to go to Aeromexico or delta. Going both ways. I had to pay a 40 dollar taxi to get me to the correct terminal .5 a mile away. And leaving in the early morning it was too dark and they convinced us it was unsafe and a 35 min walk. It’s def would be that long of a walk in Mexico since we had no idea where we were going."
Pros: "Flight was 3 hours late leaving due to frost on wings. De icing truck wouldn’t work so they waited until sunrise and parked the plane in the sun. Real hi tech solution."

Pros: "I liked the fact that the flight left on time and landed ahead of schedule."

Cons: "Nothing negative to say!"
Cons: "The boarding took a long time then when they called for the zone 3 they told us to hurry up. The steward was doing everything by hand motion. You couldn't hear what he was saying. The plane was extremely noisy and we asked what the noise was none of the crew answered. This is not the normal service that I am used to from Delta."
Pros: "Received sky boarding despite having a seat near the front. I like the smaller plane because there was plenty more leg room where I was (9c). A variety of free snacks were offered along with starbucks coffee, score! I wish I'd brought my ipad to take advantage of the free wi-fi and movies in-flight. Take-off & landing were very smooth despite a delay upon take-off. Made my connecting flight with time to buy lunch."
Cons: "No space in the seats"
Pros: "Staff was frIendly."
Cons: "One of my bags went to Santa Fe"
Cons: "There were extra seats to begin with and I was traveling alone with an infant. She barely slept the whole flight and I had a stuardis in a red dress who whem I asked for for a beverage made it seem like I asked for it right now. Didn't say a word Else to me until it was time to land and my daughter had just fell asleep. She told me. I had to take her out of the baby carrier. My daughter needed a diaper change and there were no places to change her. I tried to change her by the door really fast. The stuardis said no go change in a bathroom I asked which one had a changing station they said none and to just change in my lap. Plus my car seat was broke when I got it back."

Cons: "No entertainment - just a long boring flight. Should have some sort of entertainment for the longer flights."

Pros: "The crew was friendly and helpful"
Cons: "Being on time."
Cons: "Such a short flight, not a lot of time to pass out snacks or beverages. The attendant went right past me when passing out water."

Cons: "The crew was very rude, I was told I had to store my purse, the person next to me wouldn't store the carry on baggage, I needed to take scheduled medicine in flight, I couldn't as my purse was stowed. I was delayed for over and hour and a half after arriving. I had to stop and eat in the airport. With chronic health issues addressed this way I will probably not use United again."

Pros: "Food and entertainment was good..."
Cons: "Baggage delayed for three days... had a terrible unnecessary painful stay at delhi,india.. claimed for compensation since July 19th, still on pending..."

Pros: "Nothing compared to the part condiucted by ANA."
Cons: "Lacking in patience. Use of negative body language on passengers."
Pros: "I had the worst experience."
Cons: "My flight was cancelled in Munich and I was rerouted to Rome, Italy. In Italy they didn't find my ticket and I was made to wait an extra 4 hours. My carry-on bag was taken in London, as there was not enough room on the fight to Munich, but then when I finally got to Cairo, one day after I was supposed to arrive, both bags were lost and I stayed one week without anything. I missed an entire day of my vacation because of the cancellation and confusion in Rome. I am a Gold Star Alliance member and this was the WORST flight in I have ever taken in my LIFE!"
Pros: "The flight crew were much better than the one on the out-bound flight. Our steward was really good."

Pros: "Ease and Comfort. Each terminal in our two-leg journey was modern, immaculate and simple to navigate. The flight and crew were outstanding; attentive and professional. Keep up the good work!"
Cons: "We just couldn't justify paying 16.00 so each of us could watch TV for two hours. We would have appreciated basic TV, in order for us to stay on top of the National/World news. We feel it is part of our best interest, as a country and world, to keep informed. Please allow for at least BBC to be viewed. For Free. Thank You."

Cons: "Missing it."
Cons: "Not accommodating"
Pros: "Smooth boarding"
Cons: "No entertainment of any sort available unless paying."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Airline would not help in any way. Tried rescheduling flight and they wanted to charge me over $500 when I could simply book a $170 Delta flight. I thought they'd help me replace my ticket with another or at least something, but I guess we all know now how United treat their passengers."
Cons: "We missed our connection flight because the flight took off 5 minutes earlier then scheduled. We were delayed for 4 hours. We asked for food voucher and we were given each a $10 food voucher."
Pros: "I had 2 awesome flight attendants, Scott and Rico. They were friendly and I talked to them for a bit. I think that they didn't have to help me with what I needed, they just smiled and said yes. I didn't have anyone in the middle seat, so I had plenty of room. I was very comfortable and had a good flight."
Pros: "Such a long walk in both miami and Newark terminals. Miami I was gate 14 and Newark just to get out. Most are now equipt w those running mats."
Cons: "Had to pay for wifi in flight."
Pros: "They changed my flight"
Cons: "Flight was delayed but they did put me on an empty flight leaving earlier but never switched my luggage to the new flight"
Pros: "The flight crew was kind, informative, and helpful. Very professional."
Pros: "The flight attendants were nice. There was a doctor on board who was helpful in helping a distressed/ill passenger who was assisted off the aircraft for medical help The pilot did end up flying faster than usual to try to make up time for our delays, in order for most of us to made our connections in San Fransisco. That was appreciated."
Cons: "Flight was late due to Seattle's first snow of the season. The plane needed de-icing. Then as we pulled away from the gate, there was a medical emergency aboard and we had to taxi back to the gate for the ill passenger. After this was over, the plane needed deicing again, so that was yet another wait. Overall, we were sitting on the plane for an hour without being allowed to use the restroom because the pilot kept the seatbelt light on and we weren't allowed to get up."
Cons: "It was a very small plane and the air must have not been working because it was very hot and uncomfortable"
Pros: "The seats and the price"
Cons: "How far back I was"
Cons: "Business class needs better seats for a 6 hour flight"
Cons: "I told the checkin agent that I would need a wheelchair at the Denver and OHare airports. I told the flight attendant on both flights. I would need a wheelchair at arrival. No wheelchairs for me. At Dwnver they were able to find one for me but with no one to push me. Eventually the pilot who flew us to Denver stepped in and got me to my connecting flight gate, bless his heart. At OHare no wheelchairs for anyone who had requested one. Complete chaos. I finally had to walk to my connecting flight from terminal C to terminal B. Very exhausting for someone with cancer who is exhausted most of the time. Your wheelchair service is completely ineffective, disappointing and a cruel joke."
Cons: "45 minutes late taking off"
Pros: "legroom"
Cons: "The noisy children"
Cons: "We were delayed 2 hrs leaving Portland d/t incoming crew problems. I was kept informed via email and text more current than what the gate announcements were. They brought around an amenities cart as an apology but there wasn't enough to go around as some people stuffed their pockets w free snacks. I could have spent more time w my friends in Portland but the messages kept saying that my flight could leave on time so I should still get there for the original scheduled time, which I did.5"
Cons: "A la ahora de irnos hubo muchos contratiempo por el tiempo pero por el vuelo después que nos fuimos fue excelente"
Pros: "On time and friendly to Portland as always."
