Airline reviews
Pros: "Crew was warm, engaging, very attentive - made the whole trip a delight!"
Cons: "Honestly not a single element could have been better - one of the nicest trips we've ever taken!"
Pros: "Crew was warm, engaging, very attentive - made the whole trip a delight!"
Cons: "Honestly not a single element could have been better - one of the nicest trips we've ever taken!"
Cons: "Flight on time and not wait 30 min on the runway to get to a gate once landed"
Cons: "Flight delayed by 40 mins, then left 40 mins after scheduled even including the delay, no free in seat entertainment and the wifi was broken. Really not a fun flight overall. Also, please Alaska, get rid of that Cabernet Sauvignon that's sweeter than grape soda. Single worst wine I've ever tasted."
Pros: "Crew was great. Seat was comfortable even though in the last row..helped that there was no one in the middle seat."
Cons: "Under seat luggage space on aisle seat is smaller than middle and window so is difficult for carry on/leg room."
Pros: "Crew was nice and entertainment was good."
Cons: "Very inefficient delay of 5 hours without much empathy on improving the experience for all travelers."
Cons: "Turbulence, delayed takeoff due to weather, had to circle back on landing because other planes hadn’t cleared runway"
Cons: "A little more food on the 4+ hour flight. Otherwise a great experience!!"
Pros: "The crew staff was nice"
Cons: "First off they were late then when it's time to board they change the gate on us and we had to go across the airport to get to the next gate. Then flight was fine when we landed the flight was smooth. Then we had to wait for another 30 minutes to actually get off the airplane. Not happy at all."
Pros: "Yes"
Cons: "Everything was great WiFi didn’t work but I don’t care, just letting you know"
Cons: "Flight attendant was on phone rather than greeting customers as we deplaned."
Pros: "The crew was great."
Cons: "The airline allowed the woman in front of us to have her dog on her lap, which would not have been a problem except it yipped and barked most of the 5.5 hour flight. Given the flight was at night, that made it difficult to sleep."
Pros: "Yes the crew was great."
Cons: "It was a short 2.5 hr flight. Jet blue provided packaged snacks and a soft drink at no additional charge. Other airlines charge for everything. A carry on and a handbag were also allowed which others don't. The seats are leather and have more room. Seems Jet Blue is the last one of those traditional airlines giving more for your money. Thank you Jet Blue ! I am sold."
Pros: "That I finally arrived to my destination"
Cons: "Not being delayed three hours and stuck on a plane. Basic courtesy like offering water would have been appreciated."
Cons: "Flight was 3 1/2 hours delayed. In-flight entertainment system didn’t function. They didn’t perform a beverage/snack service. Very poor overall. Disappointing."
Cons: "Two hour delay between boarding and then sitting on the runway."
Pros: "Leg room was good"
Cons: "For a long flight like this food should have been provided"
Pros: "The seat was good, snacks is good."
Cons: "I wish the crew would did a little more to ask the people behind me stop playing the loud music and talking loud. Also rap music with bad language with children next to it is not a good idea. I actually like rap but not listening loud with the speaker on with kids in the plane is not considerate."
Pros: "Crew handled a health situation very well. Never lost their composure."
Cons: "Not having our luggage lost"
Cons: "Wasn't their fault but it was a pretty turbulent flight. It's winter and we flew NY to Costa Rica, this is expecteddue to the wind, in the winter, in warmer climates. you could tell the pilot was doing his best to avoid turbulence though & the staff were ultra professional."
Pros: "Leg room and personal item room under the aisle seat is good. Crew was good. Flight was on time. There was room for carry-on bag this time."
Cons: "Wrong terminal info in JFK air train. Wrong gate info on JFK monitors. Wrong flight info on Gate monitor (bermuda instead of burbank). Seat TV stopped working. Narrow seats. Food sold before drinks, drinks should be first. Rear deplaning never worked due to some problem. Laptop space cramped."
Pros: "No middle seats. Crew was nice. More space for people."
Cons: "The ceiling next to the spot lights or calling for help was dirty. I was expecting everything to be wiped. I turned my air fan on, and my there were some brown spots on my hands. And I looked up, it was dirty up there."
Pros: "Not one of my good experiences with Delta. Two hours delay in the flight"
Cons: "Information on the flight delay as communication was. at least very poor. Also A 220 was ok but First Class was so so"
Pros: "Super friendly staff, great service and delicious food. The competition has nothing compared to Delta. We’re switching"
Cons: "Really packed together seats...more room. Crew spoke very loudly on plane...jarring"
Pros: "Horrible delay with unruly customers on the plane. But the flight attendants did great handling them"
Cons: "sat on the tarmac for 3 hours because the pilot was late."
Pros: "You're kidding!!!"
Cons: "Seating 3 across. the passenger on the isle seat got served and the other passenger and myself were ignored. NO SERVICE!"
Cons: "They were delayed. They wouldn't let us keep our checked sized bags which slowed us down even more. Our next flight left without us while we were waiting for a gate to open so we could get off the plane. There were no more flights so we had to fly to an alternate city and rent a car to get home."
Pros: "The crew was great."
Cons: "The flight and crew were great. But I was not able to choose my seat because I purchased an economy flight. I was very uncomfortable. But I was luck that that people that were sitting with me were great."
Pros: "surprisingly spacious seats. plane felt brand new. on screen entertainment was great, and relieved to have charging inputs for my device in the seat."
Pros: "Nothing- and it cost me $50 to have voucher issued for future flight."
Cons: "Monitors with Sun Country gate information very difficult to find, if at all. I asked several people about Sun Country and departure gate, and was pointed in several WRONG directions. Since next flight out was 9p, I decided to cancel my trip. I did investigate taking same flight tomorrow, Jul 13, and was told it was full and I would be standby."
Cons: "Flight was determined to be 2 hours late well in advance. No e-mail, no call so we get to the airport 2 hours ahead of departure to find out we have to sit around the airport for 4 hours. This was NOT a last minute delay. This was the second Sun country flight in a row that was late. The first was a ramp gate hold for weather at the destination. Not sure why this one was late."
Cons: "Service and customer handling at MSP and JFK were very poor. This airline charges for everything, and if you select an incorrect option and over pay, then too bad... They offer no reimbursement. Buyer Beware."
Pros: "Flight was on time"
Cons: "I over paid baggage fee for both departure and return, been trying to call a customer service representative for a refund but their is no direct number. I keep getting switched from one person to another without any feed back and it's so frustrating. It will be nice if I can get someone to just tell me there is no refund rather than keeping me online for over 10mins."
Cons: "Plan was delayed due to mechanical problems. Flight crew was not very friendly"
Cons: "Two hour delay. The seats were extremely uncomfortable, it basically felt like 1” of cotton on plywood, the back support kept popping in and out. The staff not pleasant, as in zero smiling, no welcoming on board and they were short with other passengers. It’s unbelievable that snacks are extra when every other airline offers complimentary peanuts/pretzels/cookies. I had to spend $30 extra for my fiancée to sit next to each other, even though we purchased tickets together. As a Minnesota born resident, who now lives out east, this was such a disappointment. I will not fly with again."
Pros: "Everything went quickly"
Cons: "I had to pay to pick my seat, for any food or entertainment."
Pros: "By getting an exit row seat, I was able to board early on"
Cons: "I wasn't told that the exit row seat would not recline until I got on the plane. My last trip on Sun Country, none of the seats reclined as far as I can tell. I'm generally very tired by the time I get on a flight, and not being able to recline at all makes for a very uncomfortable flight."
Cons: "I was next to the window. It was so cold I could not get comfortable. I was never offered a drink, I think they thought I was sleeping. We sat on the runway at JFK for 45 minutes before taking off."
Pros: "Seats were okay."
Cons: "Rude, borderline racist staff. Overall unprofessional company. Double standards and miscommunications."
Pros: "The crew was really good. The flight had no issues. I was pleased."
Cons: "Nice crew. Nice flight. Wish there was a bit more legroom"
Pros: "Customer service was acceptable"
Cons: "Flights were cancelled and had to take another airline. Bags were also lost for 5 days!"
Pros: "The leg room"
Cons: "No toilet paper or Kleenex on the 2nd flight with American"
Cons: "I upgraded my seats, but we still didn’t get any extras for the price."
Cons: "Panasonic Wi-Fi does not come close to the value GoGo provides."
Pros: "Plane had a modern feel with exception of entertainment."
Cons: "No entertainment on the back of the screen. This is 2018, who doesn’t have that??? Sit length was a little small. I’m 5’10 and barely fit."
Pros: "The crew was pleasant and it was nice to have a complimentary meal and wine. We landed very early."
Cons: "This plane has not been updated since before I was born. The seats were extremely uncomfortable and there was no in seat entertainment, just overhead screens. I was never able to get the WiFi to work. There were no power outlets, and we were never offered headphones, eye masks or ear plugs. I expected more from American since our 2hr flight from Orlando to JFK had working WiFi, power outlets and in-seat video monitors."
Pros: "I like that I made it home alive."
Cons: "Everything about Departing and arriving was a Poor experience. I might not be using this particular airline again. 4 Airlines now on my list of do not use."
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "Flight crew was an hour late to the flight, whereas customers were waiting for far longer than that."
