Wi-fi was out for the whole flight. I pay a premium to fly Delta because it has wifi and because it was out I didn’t get to work on anything I wanted to. I’ll have to make it up later this week by spending less time with my family.

Wi-fi was out for the whole flight. I pay a premium to fly Delta because it has wifi and because it was out I didn’t get to work on anything I wanted to. I’ll have to make it up later this week by spending less time with my family.

I just wish the boarding process/time to take off after boarding was quicker and more efficient. I also wish that the overhead luggage was managed better. almost every time i fly there is no space for carry ons and they are either checked or I end up having to store it several rows back from my seat. Delta should not offer carryons for all customers if there is not actually space for everyone

Flight was fine, it was on-time and was not cancelled which is very good. However the small cabin bag was forced check-in although once I entered into the flight there was lot of space which would have accomodated 10 such bags. Moreover this caused delay on arrival of my bag due to which I missed my booked cab and had to wait for another 20 minutes before the next taxi (Uber) arrived.

Only flew a short distance from Buffalo to New York City JFK SO it was okay

Delta seems to be getting worse. They are trying to take any comfort away from poorer people to make more money selling it to the rich. I paid for delta comfort and on my flight from Rome to jfk I had a tv that would go on and off automatically and literally no electrical outlets or usbs worked which was advertised in the price of the fare. The infotainment system wasn’t fully working. Luckily the movies worked and the plane was needing a lot of repairs. The jfk to Tampa flight they stuck me next to this really larger guy who was half in my seat and they should have made other accommodations for him because now you’re interfering with the fare class I paid for and act like I shouldn’t care because I didn’t pay for first class. I couldn’t even pull out my tray table because of this guy. The safety video tv screen you couldn’t even see it. It made me a little scared to fly delta anymore, because if these planes are this much in need of servicing, I have to wonder if the plane is going to make it to the destination.

Delayed departure, 30min. but arrived nearly on time. Crew was reassuring.

First, off the bat, the Delta gate attendant was rude, inattentive and gave us an attitude when we asked for clarification of our seats for this rebooked flight as we missed our connecting flight due to the delay from Berlin. Flight attendants were all but friendly, rushed through for water refills so you couldn’t even catch them to request more water. Snacks were just OK. Headphones for the movies were so bad that with the airplane noise, the volume of the movie wouldn’t go up enough to even understand the voices. I had to turn on CC to even know what was being said.

Very crowded and the economy seats were the smallest and with the least legroom I have ever experienced. Cabin staff were excellent although the food service was chaotic as they were being each person their food individually instead of from the wagon.

Everything was very good or excellent, but the seats were extremely uncomfortable and painful.

Plenty of leg room, temperature was great and staff was excellent. Would do it more often.

The flight itself was ok but delayed take off meant that service was also delayed once in the air and it was a long time before the lights in the cabin were turned off. The food was pretty poor, which was disappointing for Virgin. Particularly breakfast which was a dry bagel with a pot of cream cheese. Economy sears were not comfortable despite us handing 3 seats between the two of us, I was unable to get comfortable and sleep. The entertainment was brilliant with a great selection and a very welcome addition was free high speed internet access for flying club members meaning I could stream video whilst in the air.

Food was okay. Seats were a bit cramped. In flight entertainment headphone socket didn't work on my seat. Wifi was great, so I was able to stream on my iPad

Selection of movies didn't include recent box office hits. Food was average not great. English sparkling wine is not drinkable. Otherwise, everything was great.

Check in at the desk was very slow pus Security, although not Virgin issue at JFK was a nightmare. 50 minuet wait no time to explore airport and get last minuet gifts. total wait 1.5hours

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

Super friendly and helpful staff, from check-in desk to cabin crew.

Flight took off an hour late. Had to stay on the tarmac for half an hour after landing. Both annoying.

Quick flight. But cabin crew were very noisy and talking too much, especially when we were seated at the back of the plane trying to sleep through the night .

We originally had a window seat. Our seats were changed to the center isle between 2 bathrooms. This was a red eye flight and we were traveling with an infant. Due to the light from the bathroom doors opening and closing throughout the night our infant would not sleep and cried the whole night which kept us awake and everyone around us. It was a very unpleasant experience for everyone trying to sleep.

There was not even a single time where united airlines from lga has made to the gate straight , 1 hr if delay today

Check in was chaotic with only one counter for business class and first class. The luggage conveyor belt at JFK airport was broken so the flight departure was delayed which made the flight stressful as I had a tight connection. Although the captain said they could make up the delay, they didn’t do so.

All good flight was 35 minutes early when arriving in Edinburgh

I had a good time. However, I paid for the wifi and it was in and out the whole flight.

3 hour delay…. Nearly 2 hours sitting on tarmac. Do better, United. Or at least have the sense to not say “we hope you enjoyed your flight with us” upon disembarking.

Once boarding started it was pretty quick. Food was inedible; cold and salty..

Everything except the food and entertainment. It was a great experience though

Flight was delayed from 35 minute delayed aircraft arrival to 90 minute delay causing us to miss international connecting flight on SWISS resulting in 16 hour delay to reach detonation causing significant angst, monetary loss and discomfort. SWISS transfer desk and staff was like robots not willing to help at all.

Best part: It’s operated by All Nippon Airways. It’s quite literally comfortable, reliable and respected from boarding to landing each and every time. It’s perfection without extremity in lavishness — it’s how flying should always be!

Delays!!! Serious delays. I was told by a member of staff in LGA that I would miss my DEN to LAX flight connection, so I was put on a later flight. Due to delays I would have been able to have made my original flight, where I was sat in business class - seat 1A: I was put on my original flight but bumped from business - 1A to economy 33C. I want a refund for paying business class but only flying economy

Mostly good, flight take off in time and land earlier I can’t ask for more..

The plane was FREEZING COLD. Like I was wishing I'd brought gloves. Is this how JetBlue sells more blankets? Other than that, all fine. Crew just as nice as usual. A flight attendant asked (who? The pilot?) to have the air turned down for a great number of passengers who were as cold as I was. They (again -- who is "they") did not.

Flight was fine, but I was annoyed to have to pay for luggage again. We had paid for our luggage on our first two connecting flights with SATA Azores Airlines, but had to pay for luggage again with JetBlue at JFK airport. For one trip we paid over $500 for two suitcases to travel from Azores to San Francisco.

Uncomfortable seat. No help for my disability. Staff refused to help me put my carry-on in the overhead bin. So I had to check the bag.

Terrible. Quality has gone down significantly. Plane was delayed. No instructions from the staff. Will try to avoid in the future!

The plane was filthy and worn - the seat pockets were stuffed with tattered food and torn pamphlets. The cleaning crew that came on as we were deboarding were grabbing handfulls of trash and perfunctorily wiping down tables with dishrags. It's been a while since I flew Jetblue and it used to be a great experience. After this flight I will avoid flying Jetblue again if there is any alternative.

JFK is the worst airport and JetBlue is the worst airline

Very poor help no one answering a question regarding seating. Very rude staff. They don’t care, as if it’s not part of their job. Flight was delayed for no good reason and no apologies given.

A more comfortable seat. Padding would be really helpful but I've read the airlines don't want customers to be satisfied with economy seats.

Flight was fine, price was good but food onboard was abysmal. I was on there for breakfast and lunch and dinner 845am EST to 845pm GMT and all I got was a yoghurt parfait, fruit and a piece of cake. Later snacks included an ice-cream brownie and a pizza twist. I was hungry by the time I landed and the airport amenities were closed. Not happy.

Easily one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. Worth it to upgrade slightly. Crew was phenomenal. Just wish the man sat next to me kept his shoes on. There should be a rule about that. But I wish I could take every flight with BA.

Flight was extremely delayed and they didn’t feed us for a 4 hour delay

The chairs were a bit tight even though I had extra feet space…2nd plane didn’t have entertainment and even though they said there was free WiFi-I believe the free WiFi wasn’t accessible unless u had some account set up….which I didn’t figure out

Flight was good but temp in the cabin was cold.

The seats in Premier Economy were very comfortable. The food was better than average. The way British Airways handled our seating was atrocious.

The airline was not clear about a new departure time so we got to the airport early anyway. The flight left early which was great because of weather. The check in process was very easy and staff were friendly and helpful. The crew was great and our flight was very good.

Although business class, the seating was really cramped. The food was so so.

Smooth trip no turbulence which is always a bonus for me lol! In cattle class so an element of being a bit squished (but not as bad as other shorter haul airlines) smaller plane than the one we flew out on and entertainment system wasn’t as modern but still definitely passed the time. Lovely crew x

I was sleeping during dinner service, no one bothered to offer meal later, I remained hungry….until I got a morning sandwich!

Very caring crew on board. Didn’t have dinner as I was sleeping. Was seating in the emergency row so I had comfortable leg room
