Find Cheap Flights from New York John F Kennedy Intl to Sacramento Intl (JFK - SMF)

Entertainment options (when they worked). Unlimited snacks were good for the kids. Legroom is better than any other airline for coach seats. Once we were in the air, all in all it was a good flight.

Boarding - we have two children ages 7 and nearly 4 and we had to wait to board with the rest of the crowded adult group. We were stalled waiting to take off for 1 1/2 to 2 hours which is tough when you have small children and it's nearing their bedtime (8 PM). In the row in front of us was another family with a small girl who was uncontrollable. It was not pleasant having items thrown at us, screaming, howling, and talking loudly. Again, we have two small children of our own and I was upset that the parents didn't better control their younger child. Reception for some TV stations stalled for hours at a time; i.e., NBC during a live airing of the Olympics.

Helpful crew

Everything was good.

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible
