Cons: "Attendants not much attentive"
Pros: "Overall customer service was great and friendly staff.... look forward to flying again soon"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "As it is most times Southwest employees try to make flying a pleasure. Definitely not "Stuff Shirt" but also professional. The flight attendant gave the mandatory safety announcement in a way that got people's attention with a smile. People actually listened. He gave a bonus quiz at the end. Free drink, sack of peanuts or pretzels for the first one with the correct answer. Very memorable."

Pros: "Free luggage!"
Cons: "No access to movies"
Pros: "timely departure, no major delays"
Cons: "landing was a bit rough. staff should inform customers that any seat is available to sit in once on board the aircraft. a ‘friendly reminder’ would serve those who’ve never travelled with southwest before"
Pros: "Choosing my own seat."
Cons: "Delays"
Pros: "The cabin attendant came with drinks and snacks several times. She really brought a special snack to a crying, squirming toddler. I can only hope the rest of the cabin had service as great as we did in the front."
Cons: "Entertainments options."
Pros: "The flight was smooth; take off and landing were easy; the plane was clean."
Cons: "There was some rain that delayed take off; first 30 min., then an hour; then 2 hours; then over 3 hours. The crew did not give updates. When there were updates the speaker system at MDW was so faint that it could not be heard. Awful job Southwest."

Pros: "Service up to on board the flight. Southwest style of doing things."
Cons: "After we a boarded and pulled from the gate they decided to do maintenance on the plane."

Cons: "Boarding pass had the wrong gate number which I didn't realize until boarding. Luckily the airport was small enough that I didn't have to walk far"
Pros: "Friendly staff. Great service. Efficient boarding and exit."
Cons: "I don't like that you are asking me this question when I never took this flight. My son took a flight on Southwest from New York to Milwaukee but he did not buy his ticket through kayak. I have no idea why you were messaging me when I didn't take a trip at all."
Pros: "SWA is awesome! Courteous flight crew. Pop quiz to the people in the exit row before departure, made them think (what do you do if you look out your window and see fire?). Got their attention and reminded them of the seriousness of them accepting the responsibility of sitting there."
Cons: "Construction at the Boston airport caused a delay on the return flight, not able to handle all the flights with one of the runways torn up. Southwest shifted the departure and still made it a good flight with an almost on time arrival in Houston."
Pros: "Seats were comfortable, service was fine."
Cons: "Boarding experience."
Cons: "Flight on time and not wait 30 min on the runway to get to a gate once landed"
Pros: "Seats are comfortable"

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."
Cons: "The entire flight crew was RUDE! Rolling their eyes at passengers constantly no matter what you asked them, shoving drinks at you, snatching trash from you, and rude. Very disappointed in Alaska!"
Cons: "Great service. Wish we flew Alaska both ways instead of United ☹️"
Pros: "Great crew, 2 drink services"
Pros: "The seat was fine and the seatbelt just barely fit."
Cons: "Saw a bedbug on my window!!! Wasn't notified that they were serving breakfast when I reserved one. No free wifi. No monitors in the seat to track plane progress and watch a movie. All of those either cost extra or were separate. Due to constant line I was forced to use the bathroom when I landed"
Pros: "Quick, efficient, left on time and landed early. Seamless transitions and systems."
Cons: "Food/beverages are overpriced."
Pros: "Friendly crew."
Cons: "Bathroom could always improve."
Cons: "Booked an aisle seat. Received a middle seat on the day of the flight."
Cons: "I was not notified that my card was declined and this caused a ton of delays"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "What have been nice if I was told that seat availability was nonexistent. I tried checking in each day without any information such as give it up you suck and you’re going to get the worst seed no better how much you try to avoid it…"

Pros: "Free texting"
Cons: "My flight was delayed a long time"
Cons: "Flight was delayed taking off now we are in Seattle sitting on the tarmac for over and hour 15 mins to just get to a gare"
Pros: "Nothing I can think of at the moment."
Cons: "I didn't like anyt of it."
Pros: "We left on time and arrived early with a smooth landing"
Pros: "Would have been a great flight overall except...."
Cons: "Three flight attendants were socializing loudly to the point that it disrupted us from sleeping on an overnight flight. We had to ask THEM to keep it down. You’d think it would be the other way around on a red eye. Even after that they keep blabbering at the top of their voices! Surprised how inconsiderate they were. And yet, despite their gift of gab, they couldn’t make coherent announcements over the speaker. Food has two stars only because there was nothing to rate."
Pros: "I was so impressed with the genuine kindness and caring of the crew."
Pros: "It was ok"
Cons: "They don’t give enough drink"
Cons: "There were no vegetarian/vegan options for meals. In 2018 it’s unnacceptable to have ZERO veggie options, especially on a flight to LA. Come on! I ended up having to pay for 2 meals that I could only eat parts of. And it took more than 1 HOUR for them to bring me these meals. I’ve never had to wait more than 5 mins for a meal, that I PAID for, to be delivered to my seat. I was starving, forced to waste money on meals I couldn’t fully eat AND had to wait over an HOUR to receive them. I am beyond disappointed."
Pros: "I didn’t know what to expect but I had an excellent trip. Enough leg room for a five hour flight. The entertainment was excellent, many choices of movies. No food was provided, you have to pay for any food or snack. You are given a cup of soda not the whole can. But I came prepared with food and drink. Overall, very good airline!"
Cons: "No food or snack are provided unless you purchase it!"
Cons: "No comfort given to passengers despite 2.5 hr delay in leaving and another 1 hr on the ground after landing"
Pros: "The entertainment is great on Alaska."
Cons: "The flight got delayed a number of times, until it was 1:30 late. Then, since I have medical problems, and I was freezing (despite a sweater and a coat, I asked the flight attendant for a blanket and explained why, and she said flatly that there were no blankets on board. Just a terrible terrible red eye."
Pros: "Crew was amazing, so friendly and down to earth. Great customer service. Make flight attendant, Stan, I think, was great!"
Cons: "One bathroom was out of order for the flight. Food and drink ordering didn’t work."
Cons: "In flight entertainment system was down. They ran out of food. They didn’t tell us the tv was down until after they had us check our carry on so I couldn’t even get my book"
Pros: "On time departure"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "My two-year-old and I were assigned seats in different rows. She weighs under 25 pounds I didn’t want to have to buy a ticket for her in the first place. Obviously I couldn’t have her sit in row behind me. She had to sit on my lap anyway so I paid for an extra seat I couldn’t use. Ridiculous"
Cons: "The seats are somewhat comfortable. They don’t have TV screens at each seat, but they do provide them for $10 or you can stream free TV or movies for free thru the Gogo app. Not bad, but would have rather had a screen"
Pros: "I like everything from this company"
Pros: "Power outlets, free entertainment, staff"
Cons: "Very full flight"
Pros: "Seats"
Cons: "Breakfast"
Cons: "Food to pricey"
Cons: "wished the seats leaned back a bit more, especially on a red eye"
Pros: "The crew was wonderfull, very attentive, pilot got Us before schedule. Overall very pleasant and smooth flight."
Cons: "There was nothing I did not like about the flight."
Pros: "I missed my flight, but staff in Seattle helped me get on the next one with minimal fuss. Not sure if this is always the case, but very pleased with a situation that could have been very stressful."
Pros: "The seats and stowage were expected in comparison to a 737-800. Boarding time was fairly quick and organized."
Cons: "Boarding announcement was localized using a small portable microphone/speaker combo. Not great if you were sitting in another gate where seating was available. Food was pay as you go. Soft drinks and water were free. No in flight entertainment in the seat. They use GoGo Flight and rent tablets for 10.00 USD. The videos would skip and you will miss key elements of a plot. I was underwhelmed by this airline and will likely not take them again for a 5.5 hour flight."
Pros: "Alaska's crew and equipment continue to be top notch. Helpful and friendly at all times."
Cons: "Newark facilities are severely lacking: poor signage outside security and gate area too crowded leading to confusing mob-scene at boarding. Ground delay of 45 minutes after leaving gate. Gogo wifi connectivity was extremely frustrating: very slow and constantly disconnecting: made it impossible to actually use wifi for work related tasks."
Pros: "From booking to the actual flight everyone made the process easy."
Cons: "3 hour delay. No internet on flight working. Little to no food available."
Pros: "I really did like that they checked on us several time and made sure we had enough to drink. Nice crew and all in all a pretty good flight."
Pros: "Was given two center seats when asked for other sets they moved us up to front so we had more room plus got off faster"
Cons: "Should announce to download Gogo entertainment app before we get on the plane!"
Pros: "Good leg room"

Pros: "The Even More Space was perfect."
Cons: "A direct flight. My connection flight from Boston was 45 late!!!"
Pros: "absolutely nothing"
Cons: "Not being lied to repeatedly by ground crew, cabin crew pilots. We were being updated by the app 30 minutes before they told us anything never mind the truth. they managed to serve 7 rows of drinks the entire flight. by far the worst experience I have had in many years and I fly over 250,000 mile"
Pros: "Jet blue has better leg space than many other domestic flights I have taken. It was very comfortable"
Pros: "The available movies were pretty good."
Cons: "The crew member serving the food was way too slow."
Pros: "Comfortable seat."
Cons: "Plane was delayed for over an hour. No charging station for electronics."
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: "Our flight was delayed 4 times. We then sat on the runway for an extra 45 minutes because someone’s tv did not work. We missed our set transportation which was already rescheduled 4 times and had to pay $150 Uber to get home"
Pros: "JetBlue always offers great service, entertainment and snacks."
Cons: "Nothing except the weather. A little windy and bumpy. :)"
Cons: "They had to reset entertainment sets 3 times before they started working. This happens regularly on the SFO to BOS jetblue flight."

Pros: "Loved the variety of food offered, amount of legroom"
Cons: "Was awake, just completely skipped over by attendant for drinks"

Cons: "Entertainment unit didn't work"
Pros: "Snacks!"
Cons: "Seats... had a middle seat and crew would not move me to emergency exit row even when there was room there!"
Pros: "The crew was helpful"
Cons: "Communication about the delay Snacks has no variety. All too salty."
Pros: "My flight was on time and arrived early."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "There was actual room for my legs."
Cons: "There could have been more legroom so that you could actually get out without almost sitting in someone else's lap. But it was easier than my last flight (on American Airlines). Having a meal available would have been nice on a flight of almost 6 hours."
Cons: "Wifi didn't work"
Pros: "Great crew and service"
Cons: "The delay was longgg but I know that couldn’t be avoided"
Pros: "Very smooth flight and all the staff were really nice."
Cons: "They really shouldn’t take 20 minutes to advertise their credit card mid flight."
Cons: "It was delayed"
Pros: "Comfortable seats, snacks, good price, nice & helpful were all the flight attendants and persons at the counter. Flight was 20 min late arriving at Denver, but our pilot got us to Boston on time-much appreciated. Free WiFi was great.seats and the next plane (my plane)o not"
Cons: "Could have taken an earlier flight from Boston to DCA, but there was $75 change fee even though the plane had lots of seats. But I do not hold this against JetBlue."
Cons: "Both flights were delayed and now sitting on the tarmac at my destination airport for half an hour and counting (at 12:30 AM) because of an outbound Jet Blue flight? My flights coming in last week via Jet Blue were also delayed, causing me to miss my connection and spend a day in the airport. Hate this airline and will absolutely pay more to never fly them again."
Pros: "We upgraded to the “extra legroom” seats and they were so comfortable. The free entertainment was very nice and made the flight time pass quickly. The crew was friendly, attentive, and kind. We are looking forward to flying with them again."
Cons: "Short flight (< 90 minutes) delayed by 2+ hours."
Pros: "The flight took off on time and maybe even early and was early arriving even though it had to divert a little to avoid the hurricane. Everything seemed to run more efficiently because more extraordinary measures were being taken to keep flights running and on time. I was impressed."
Pros: "I had never flown Jet Blue. It was only a 45 minute flight but it was enjoyable. Lots of leg room, friendly attentive crew, no hassle. I'd fly Jet Blue again."
Pros: "Everything was on time"
Cons: "Flight from Boston to salt lake City was delayed by more than an hour"
Pros: "My flight was delayed but the staff easily put me on an earlier flight that had also been delayed; excellent customer service in all aspects."
Cons: "have hearing aids and could not figureout how to turn on CC"
Cons: "Flight delayed from Raleigh to Boston due to weather. Flight time moved up slightly and we were told by Mike at gate C-8 that we would make our connecting international flight but we didn’t. Total nightmare. Incompetence everywhere’s we looked with this airline. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!"
Pros: "The flight attendants were very kind, welcoming and helpful. I didn't need much but watched as the were very accommodating to a older passenger who needed a lot of various things."
Cons: "It was just silly that I needed to fly backwards to Boston in order to get to San Diego and I am was disappointed that when I asked about flying on the earlier flight with open seats that I couldn't fly on it without paying a fee. I feel that it a frivolous thing and a bit greedy to charge an additional fee. Why would it matter which flight I am on if it had an open seat and I paid my fair already it shouldn't matter."
Pros: "They have direct tv free, they also have enough room for your legs!!! What an amazing plane. Everything was perfect. Hubby could watch the champions final."
Cons: "Delayed again."
Pros: "Seating was fine, flight attendants were very nice. It was a short flight and everyone worked to be efficient about boarding once the plane was ready for boarding."
Cons: "I wish the plane had come on time--the delay was inconvenient, although I understand sometimes the reason for delay can't be helped."
Pros: "Great crew and comfortable seat, generous drinks and snacks."
Cons: "Flight was delayed twice, and then boarded even later than second delayed time."
Cons: "Delayed two hours"
Cons: "None of the TVs worked on the flight. The boarding crew in the terminal was rude and very short with everyone. i had to go up multiple times to ask about my seating assignment and was ignored and then waved away multiple times. And then as boarding began I was given a seat saying they "thought i was on standby" but i never was. i was given a seat in the last row with two other people who had infants on their laps so it was a very tight fit."
Pros: "Nice flight, exited the plane quickly"
Cons: "I didn't like that because I was in Class D, I boarded the plane after many people and there was zero space for my carry on- which contains medical equipment, and I was forced to put it below. The overhead compartments are teeny tiny, and when other people shove all their bags in there, there's no room for other people's single carry ons."
Pros: "They were very efficient on getting people on the plane"
Cons: "I had gotten sick on a flight....just a little and did not receive alot of help from staff as there was no bag for me in my seat. I had to clean up the area. I also found there was not spray if needed for this sort of accident. Other issue - which is just a general is people who bring the big suitcases and people who have smaller cannot get it in overhead due to the size. Also the fees for a second bag is ridiculous and it was unfortunate that I had to pay as if I did not then I would have been over. either way....lose lose"
Pros: "Everything went very smoothly and quickly"
Pros: "glad that there was small drink and snack offered despite such a short flight. i hadn't eaten dinner so was glad to have something in my stomache. especially travelling on a late night flight arriving in city i wasn't familar."
Cons: "my seat was dirty with snack crumbs from previous passenger. I didn't have anything on me to brush off so had to use my own hand to do it. that was a bit disgusting."
Cons: "Severely delayed"
Pros: "Love the boarding, inflight service, entertainment and on time departure and arrival"
Cons: "Every thing was perfect. This kind of experience is rare in my frequent travels."
Pros: "My experience was definitely improved because I happened to be traveling with my elderly mother, who needed wheelchair assistance. Thanks to her, we boarded early and had aisle seats near the front."
Cons: "My tray table was broken. I'm tired of the same unimaginative snack choices."
Pros: "easy boarding, plenty space, kind and helpful crew"
Cons: "delayed flights both ways, very cold air conditioning (which a flight attendant did adjust after I asked), sound didn't really come through headphones - very scratchy"
Pros: "The staff was so friendly. They accommodated a bachelor party's request to collect wedding advice from fellow passengers on a napkin and recognized a few birthdays. The stewardess making the announcements was very genuine in her well wishes and being part of everyone's day."
Cons: "40 min taxi time but not much we could do about that."
Pros: "The flight was great! It was even early. The crew was awesome!!"
Cons: "Nothing to complain."

Cons: "cramped"
Pros: "Service was great."
Cons: "It was a shortest duration flight of the three so I couldn’t point out here what was lacking. Thank you!"
Cons: "Flight attendant in First class was visibly frustrated and unfriendly. He was not helping with my simple request for a blanket. Also, the were no food service in first class."
Pros: "The crew was super friendly and professional. Enjoyed the reworked safety message before take-off."
Cons: "The Comfort+ seat, while it had plenty of leg room in front, had a small width-box that many Americans (being larger than perhaps they should be) will find extremely uncomfortable at best, and unable to fit in at worst."
Cons: "Smooth flight, great crew."
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."
Cons: "Check in was terrible- long wait just for drop off of already checked in bags"
Pros: "Seats are fine. Ordering system is up to date."
Cons: "After the first two hours of my flight (which I sleep through) I couldn’t buy a drink a soda or anything."
Pros: "Awesome"
Cons: "Issues with connecting flights so had to sit in different place, seat was broken"
Pros: "individual TVs"
Cons: "it would be great if you could not use all those one-use plastic cups. waste is a real issue in the US and the solution is using re-usable items like washable cups. Unboarding was a nightmare and it started to get really hot waiting to get off."
Cons: "No in flight entertainment behind the seat"
Pros: "Great movies."
Cons: "Seats won’t stay reclined."
Pros: "Yeah...spacious leg rooms."
Cons: "Too bumpy landing at Jackson."
Pros: "Good seating, great food, good service."
Cons: "Slight delay of flight"
Cons: "My kids were asleep when the flight attendant passed the snacks . I asked to get the snack for them and she told me they will have to get it in the back of plane once awake. Didn’t argue but was surprised"

Cons: "N/A"

Cons: "Only negative thing she could say was her flight was delayed an hour. But that isn’t terrible considering all the holiday travelers."
Cons: "Wheelchair shortage on arrival, although I had one reserved. Waited for a while then walked. Not ideal. Very long wait for bus to rental car center."
Cons: "We thought we were flying AirFrance as our emails came from them and were surprised to learn after waiting in the AirFrance baggage drop queue for 30 mins that we were in the wrong place."

Pros: "Flight itself uneventful"
Cons: "Lateness"
Pros: "I am always impressed by the Delta staff. Top notch."
Cons: "The entertainment screens have an (older) head phone jack that many people do not have. The headphones available for purchase by the airline are of very poor quality. I also am surprised that airlines (not just Delta) continue to provide such low quality food options on flights. I think consumers would pay more for better options."
Pros: "Air crew was excellent"
Pros: "It left and arrived on time"
Cons: "They didn’t have wine in such a long flight"
Pros: "Couldn't recline as I was in the emergency exit row but I had some extra room with no seat next to me so that was nice"
Cons: "Couldn't recline in my emergency exit row"
Pros: "Happy to get an earlier flight - and was put in ComfortPlus"
Cons: "Small plane, no entertainment (movies, music)"
Pros: "Flight team were wonderful!"
Pros: "One crew member, young dark haired woman, was particularly accommodating. Male attendant was firm and funny."
Cons: "Typical cramped plane, too many planes going out of same gate are simultaneously"
Pros: "Friendly crew with modern plane"
Cons: "Why am I paying for first class for just snacks I can buy in an airport shop?"
Pros: "Courteous crew and smooth flight"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Good"
Pros: "Food available was good."
Cons: "Very tight space- could not reach floor when person in front of me moved seat into recline position. Could not get out of seat to go to bathroom when my seat mates were sleeping. Tough to load- tight spaces."
Pros: "Free entertainment and free food was unexpected and very welcomed, especially given the trend of charging for more and more features."
Cons: "The tsa is worthless"
Pros: "The crew was really friendly and helpful. The plane was really clean"
Cons: "The boarding process was too long, there was a lot of people. It was kinda a mess. The sit assignment for people who didn't have sit assign was slow."
Pros: "Easy flight. Plane and crew were fine"
Cons: "It was a short flight but no entertainment on this plane."
Pros: "They did eventually put out some small snacks and drinks (water and regular coke)."
Cons: "Small regional plane that was over 3 hours late in departing NY because of weather issues much earlier in the day. Delta did not permit any re-bookings to other delayed flights that were leaving in the intervening period, even though there were empty seats. Very frustrating."
Pros: "I liked: After check-in, I was given luggage sticker and told that luggage will be collected in Hyderabad which is my last destination, same was printed the sticker."
Cons: "I didn't like: While transition from Mumbai to Hyderabad, i was told to collect the luggage in Mumbai and check-in again which made so worried and confused."
Cons: "Everything was great"
Cons: "Everyone was very rude and would not answer questions and flight very delayed. No bad weather conditions"
Pros: "The crew was nice as was the meal"
Pros: "Amazing Crew"
Pros: "Great short flight"
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: "Quick boarding, nice plane, tv at every seat."
Cons: "T.v. kept getting interrupted, and the automated voiceover would be followed by a person saying the same thing."
Pros: "Liked the entertainment and drinks service"
Cons: "Very tight for space."
Pros: "Plane is clean. Well kept"
Cons: "Wifi. It terrible"
Pros: "They got another flight for us"
Cons: "4 hour delayed"
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: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight attendants are rude and nasty!"
Cons: "inflight entertainment wasn't working on my seat only which made my 6 hour flight seem even longer :("
Pros: "Wi-Fi was great. Watched two movies. Flight was on time and painless"
Cons: "Only complimentary snack was pretzels and only a cup of water."
Cons: "Baggage lost."
Pros: "staff was very nice. boarding was on time and efficient"
Cons: "no screens to watch movies. the plane was delayed for a repair and we had to sit on the plane for two hours before we took off. they should of let us off the plane during this time. because of this the flight felt longer. there was no choice of movie because there was only the screen in the isle. the food was horrible for dinner. the smell made me feel sick and the taste was worse. a sandwich might of been better than that disgusting hot food."
Pros: "Despite getting no updates, our flight itinerary was changed from a 3.30pm flight to a 9.20pm flight. Unfortunately this was after landing from Milan at 1.30 with two small children so we had already had a very long day. We absolutely never would have booked this flight itinerary had we known of the change."
Cons: "I am beyond stunned that our flight itinerary was changed from 3.30pm to 9.20pm with no notification. This is absolutely unreasonable and inexcusable made even worse that we had already had a very long journey from Milan to JFK with two small children. Evidently the issue was that we booked via a 3rd party off the kayak site and not directly with British airways. When American airways changed the flight from 3.30 to 3.25, the 3rd party company failed to file for our updated itinerary so British air/American air bumped us to the next flight at 9.20pm. We have long been loyal to kayak feeling it provides the best breadth of options and good pricing. Now we may use kayak to see all the options but I can’t booking directly with kayak anymore after this complete disaster. We ended up renting a car and driving from jfk to Boston, getting home 23 hours after our journey had started, stressed, beyond exhausted and now have to return the rental car. Thanks kayak."
Cons: "We flew from Rome to JFK and arrived at 12:40 pm only to find out that our 3:30 pm flight had been cancelled a long time ago. No one had notified us of our new booking on a 9:10 flight to Boston. No one at American or British Airways could provide us with an earlier departure or compensate us to take alternative transportation. Our 9:10 flight was then delayed until 10:50 pm. We arrived in Boston at 12:02 am, 11 1/2 hours after our arrival at JFK from Rome. This was not a very friendly welcome home. We never would have booked such an extended delay as we only live 4 hours from New York City."
Pros: "It was fine. Just not anything great."
Cons: "Many groups were not seated together. at the airport I asked if my husband and I could be put together . One worker seemed interested in helping, but another rudely butted in and said there "were no seats together, the flight was full." Come to find out the flight was not full, there were whole rows not full. The groups near our seats rearranged ourselves so we could be by our family members, so it worked out. No thanks to the person at the terminal. Really long walk from the gate to the plane. No food on a cross country flight. Only a few cups of water/soda and a cookie. which unfortunately is typical now days. The lights were off the whole trip. The captain kept turning on the seat belt sign for the turbulence. Which there was a lot of. But then he would announce for everyone to go back to their seats. It wasn't huge bumps, just a little rough. and it woke everyone up by announcing it multiple times."
Cons: "Very old plane. No personal entertainment. Very basic service."
Pros: "Quick and easy"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Great boarding, crew and seating space"
Cons: "Bathroom line for some reason was always long. Entertainment via wifi was just ok. Older movies only. New movies on the tiny screens that come down every 4 rows or so."
Cons: "They misplaced my luggage and it did not arrive in Boston"
Pros: "much room. great entertainment. great crew"
Pros: "Probably the fact that I flew with my friend and both agreed on how bad this airline is."
Cons: "This is my first time with the airline. It’s safe to say I’ll wont be booking with American Airlines again in the future. The crew members were rude, unattentive and just bitter. It started with simply boarding. The lady at the desk was rude about telling me I needed to consolidate my bags. I ended up just checking the carry-on in. We asked one crew member on board if we could throw our trash away and she just seems annoyed. We also asked for ear buds and she never arrived with them simply stating they will offer/hand them out after they come around. She just seemed like she hates her job. Just terrible attitudes. very unpleasant flight."
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "I'm gluten free & I don't eat pork so I would like a gluten free no pork option!"
Pros: "Movies. Safety of flight"
Cons: "Food Too crowed seats no room to breath"
Pros: "The flight crew was excellent!"
Cons: "Seating extremely tight"
Cons: "I specifically never choose American Airlines because whenever I do there are problems. I chose Iberia, not American Airlines and I got switched to it. Sat at the gate for 2 hours after my flight was ALREADY delayed because they didn't load our luggage under the plane correctly and it wasn't safe to fly. I will be calling American Airlines to file a complaint."
Pros: "On time arrival"
Pros: "Overall easy navigation."
Cons: "More signs for terminal to terminal navigation."
Pros: "The boarding was quick"
Cons: "I am surprised that an 8 hr international flight, had no WIfi.. I had to continually ask and check the time with Crew members. This needs to change when the average seat is $800-900 and the flight holds 35 seats. AA is raking in WAY to much money to be this cheap. No WiFi and having to look up to the middle isle to watch a child's movie on repeat " Guardians of the Galaxy." My neck and back were in extreme discomfort from the 8 hr flight back to NYC. If AA had headrest monitors and WiFi this could be avoided. Its 2017 stop being cheap!"
Cons: "not enough space for legs, no food, flight attendants not especially nice, a long delay, ..."
Pros: "Excellent entertainment system, comfortable seating, decent refreshment service for such a short trip."
Cons: "The flight didn't board until an hour and a half after the original scheduled time, and despite boarding quickly, we didn't take off for even longer. Because of the long wait, it would have been nice to have been offered a snack in addition to the beverage that was served during the flight."
Pros: "The TVs/back of the chairs were great because they could shut off completely so there was no screen glare when you want to sleep, the headphone jack worked with good sound quality, and there was a decent movie selection. Staff was courteous and the food was fine."
Cons: "This flight itself was great overall. No complaints. The only thing I didn't like was that I'd wanted to book a return direct flight on American Airlines as well, but the price skyrocketed from a few hundred to over $2200, which is just outrageous, so I booked TAP Portugal instead. My friend paid under $600 round trip and it boggles the mind that the same flights shot up to over $2k... It's not realistic to expect customers to stay loyal to an airline that prices them out."
Pros: "Newer Aircraft had a little more legroom than I have seen in the past. Complimentary entertainment was excellent. It made the time on the ground and in the air go by quickly (even on this short flight)."
Cons: "Time on the ground waiting for takeoff. We spent more time on the ground than in the air. But that is more the congestion at the airport than the airline."
Pros: "What I enjoyed about this flight is that I eventually made it to Chicago."
Cons: "Flight was delayed several times - blamed on Chicago ATC. The food offered was not suitable for First Class - there was chicken and vegetarian option. The FA was rather slow in serving and clearing trays. She was not interested in going around and asking for refills - when I inquired about it at dessert time, she didn't come back for 15 minutes and I had to ring the call button - she informed me they didn't have my drink of choice, so it was OK for her not to come back and tell me that. Service was terrible in First Class. American should seriously do something about that."
Cons: "The seat was extremely comfortable."
Pros: "Movies, wine"
Cons: "When checking in the staff was so incredibly rude, nonexistent during the whole check in process that it led to several people missing their flights or almost missing it. I had to run around asking for someone to help the long line of people including me who were all in danger of missing their flight because no one was around to help. And then when I finally do get checked in using the now kiosk only option for the plebeian class while anyone above economy gets to talk to real people (way to highlight the class divide guys) I missed my check in time by 5 minutes and was told by the kiosk to find an agent. Then I go running around looking for an agent. I find one and she says you missed your flight. I told her I still have 45 minutes to make it, and she rudely just tells me to get in another line to pay for a new ticket. LUCKILY someone in the priority line saw I was having a problem, a customer not an agent, and she told me to try to talk to someone on her side. After 3 agents told me no one finally told me yes. I made my flight but just by a hair. If the agents would have been around to help or been willing to help me from the moment I spoke to them this would not have been a problem. Thanks for almost ruining Christmas for me. When I spoke to others everyone told me they always have issues with AA. Will never fly AA again."
Pros: "why you have send email for survey I cancelled my trip do to emergency/ for sorry really sorry,"
Cons: "flight delay"
Cons: "Served drink as they prepped for landing"
Pros: "Quick, easy, great crew"
Pros: "Plane was clean boarding was fine."
Cons: "Old plane"
Pros: "the crew handled the lengthy delay as well as they could, seems like they didn't have any information either which is ridiculous."
Cons: "We boarded the plane at 1:30 for a 2:00 flight, there was a filter out in one of the three bathrooms; the option to take a 45 min flight without use of the restrooms was there, we were told to use the restroom if we needed to before the flight so everyone did... then we continued to sit on the ground for two hours. After two hours we were allowed to get off the plane, 20 minutes later back onto the plane, backed away from the gate and then pulled into a different gate and were told to get back off the plane. At this point we were given no info or direction but to go talk to special services if we want to re-book a different flight (sold out until at the earliest 8:15pm). After about an hour they announce they are re-boarding the original plane, takes another 45 minutes to board the plane, then we are told two separate issues caused this lengthy delay one was a filter in the bathroom and the other was a thermostat... seems like very basic standard maintenance issues that could have been avoided with routine checks. We were offered zero compensation, the trip took over 6 hours in all to fly from Philadelphia PA to Boston MA; a trip I could have driven in less time. I continue to have issues with American Airlines and "mechanical" delays, the last flight i was on From Charlotte to Baltimore was delayed an hour due to a strap in the cargo area. I don't understand the logic behind the decisions made to hold the full plane over 5 hours instead of taking a 45 minute flight, but I will say the crew was very apologetic and handled the situation well."
Pros: "Good flight."
Pros: "N/A"
Cons: "I paid $150 extra for 2 exit row seats thinking we could use the extra room on the long flight. Unfortunately, the exit row space was cut off by and smaller than a normal row! Our legs were extremely cramped by the time we got to Rome. We had no overhead storage, which was already small, so we had to put our carry-ons multiple rows behind us -- which made exiting the plane a pain. There wasn't any personal entertainment systems, just one tv per section. The food was sub par. The crew was nice enough, but I'll NEVER take American Airlines internationally again."
Pros: "I loved the new planes. Absolutely amazing"
Cons: "The boarding crew was extremely rude. But the flight crew was very nice. And the food was subpar."
Pros: "Direct flight, convenient schedule"
Cons: "Ground delay at JFK, no personal entertainment system"
