Use the AA app and bring your own g-free snacks. Love that most all your airplanes have the bendable headrest, saves space from packing a pillow so thanks for that!

Very limited space for carry on bags. Most had to be put with checked bags. Be ready for that

Get to the airport a bit earlier to have a snack or meal prior to boarding. It’s a short flight, about 1.5 hours, so each airport has plenty of choices.

Make sure to book the better seats that include checked baggage if needed. It costs the same to add it later, but you get roomier seating for the same price.

Check to see if the airport has the “Clear” TSA screening. Which is free when scheduled through the airport vs pay a fee if scheduled through Spirit Airlines, shocking…..

Plane was clean and comfortable. Flight attendants and gate staff were professional, friendly and efficient. Boarding and deplaning were orderly and efficient. All in all, the typical excellent Southwest experience.

Truly terrible. Will never willingly fly southwest again. Seats are worse than before they switched to assigned seating. One flight attendant was the opposite of helpful (rude, unhelpful, dismissive, and as my stranger seatmate said unprompted: a total prick). This caused me, 15 minutes into the flight, to book an alternate return flight home on a competing airline (first class 1.2k purchase instead of my existing planned flight) just so I would not have to ever be on that aircraft, with that terrible service person, with those horrific seats ever again.

Not having a five hour delay with little notice! The crew was very kind, though, and just as tired as we passengers were. The flight didn't depart until nearly 1 am...and no reason was ever given.

The entire experience from boarding to landing was amazing! The crew were very friendly. Will definitely be back.

no service at all due to turbulence. they should've at least given us snacks, there were only 10 people on the entire flight.

First time I've had to use the disabled accommodations. And I could not have had a better experience with Southwest, i was having trouble getting from one terminal to another due to my heart failure. And the next thing I know a Southwest agent had made sure. I had a wheelchair at all my flights. Can't thank them enough.

Delayed flight, lack of information, boarding process is a mess as is the carryon luggage causing issues when leaving the plane….just a poor experience.

Comfortable. Easy. No problems. Just wish they had gf options for snacks.

The crew was very kind and made going to Hawaii relaxing and fun to look forward to! Thank you Southwest for a pleasant flight!

This leg was much better, but we did have to have a 3 hour lay o er after coming from a very exhausting hiccup with our flight from BNA to Den

Much better than Latam, the worse airline company ever. I hope I don't have the need to fly Latam ever in my life again.

Everything could and should be better. We are paying for, it's not a favor, it's a service and should involve quality, responsibility and respect.

Seats were comfortable, 8 hours. One flight attendant was not appropriate in his verbal response: "Please, DON'T touch me.", after being tapped near his elbow after being made unaware he skipped serving me & had passed further down the aisle.

Boarding in Amsterdam is always chaotic. More complicated than needs to be ( boarding pass checked twice, once for general security, then by the airline). The bathrooms on this flight are dirty, and smelly. The food was mediocre at best The crew was decent

Seats in Delta Main are unbelievably close to the seat in front of. Hard to get a backpack under the seat.

Round trip flight to Canada and back to the US was smooth and efficient.

The agent at check in and at the gate were less than thrilled to be at work. I'm not a fan of Kayak's placement on the plane. I got put in the middle seat and none of my preferences were used.

Spanish speaker flight attendants were incredibly rude. A male flight attendant named Allen, grabbed my bag out of the overhead bin and moved it without my permission. When I asked what he was doing, he informed me that the overhead bins were public space? It would be easy to ignore this comment, as you don’t know the whole story, but the flight attendants were militant and rude. Delta, you can do better!

In ATL they have two sets of departure screens. Follow what is on your airline's departure board - the ATL Airport Authority departure board had completely incorrect details about the gate assignment for my flight, which would have made me miss boarding.

Flight was delayed it was hot while sitting on the plane, one engine was working on the plane until they had to do some jimmy rigging down the runway in order for the other engine to charge up. It was ridiculous

Left an hour and a half after the listed time. Up side was it had TV screens on the seat.

No screens or meal options. Freezing cold. Dirty seats. Left late.

O’hsre taxi and deboarding took 40 minutes. Needed 20 minutes extra time between connecting flights to avoid running through terminal.

Seats very comfortable; service efficient and pleasant; flight was on-time; boarding organized.

Seats were not super comfortable and food was not good at all. If I had a chance I would definitely fly a different airline. Of course they are better than any budget airline, but not by much.

Overall a good experience, but no wifi available for free or for purchase and we got wet from condensation or other water source during descent.

Very friendly and helpful staff on board and United was excellent when I missed my onward flight due to the delay in London. Very well organised meant much less stress

Flew steerage class. Short on leg room unless you pay more. No window unless you pay more. Etc. United is trying to squeeze every cent from you. It doesn’t make for any loyalty.

Booked through Kayak Business, had a seat in middle and towards back due to booking rate, not comfortable.

Was great in general, try to respect time and excuses when slight changes have been made, appreciated!

not sure why you ask about food, I n3ver get food on flights except maybe cookies or pretzels. wifi was slow and in and out most of the flight not good.

Everything was fine except the end of the flight. We spent more than an hour circling around Miami due to weather conditions. That was not good.

They lost my bag. ... And I asked them 3 times to 3 different people if my checked bag will maKe it all the way - they all confirmed and at the end it was left at the connection... Bravo

Cancelled BOYH legs of our flight home 30 min before initial boarding

Cancelled the flight half hour before boarding. Then cancelled the connecting flight too.

Delayed due to weather in Dallas (arriving flight arrived late), then boarded the plane only to deboard immediately afterwards, tire needed to be replaced. Flight supposed to depart at 6:15pm but departed at 9:35pm.

Left early arrived early..right amount of talking from pilots..of course had to love the biscuit and water!

I would like a refund for the extra cost the seat I paid for. An oversized person sat next to me and I couldn’t fit on my seat and had to move to another seat.

Boarding gate at LAX was too crowded—two gates next to one another

The flight was delayed about an hour for a maintenance specialist to approve the maintenance repair

My flight was canceled the morning of the flight. I had to rebook a flight with a different airline that cost me $900 out of my pocket

Had a flight change had to get a credit.will I get my money back.

Shut down without prior notice End up with spending lots of extra $$$

There was a crack in my window seal. And Spirit is now closed forever.

The company went out of business and now I'm stuck in Ft. Lauderdale. Would not recommend.

Spirit changed flight times by 12 hours with coming and going so I refunded tickets and drove

The airline cancel mi flight, lost a lot of money!!!

They closed the doors earlier than posted. I missed my flight with a slim 5 minutes bc they closed the doors earlier than earlier. My luggage never made it onto the flight and I had to find a new flight to Dallas bc the only option they could rebook me on was for leaving miami.

The agent cancel my flight without my consent. So the situation generate me a lot of troubles, specially because we were traveling with a baby

Wonderful! Very polite crew that was dedicated to excellent customer service
