MarcFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2026
Arrive at the gate before boarding time starts because the small plane can be full boarded in less than ten minutes.
ShuheiFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
the traffic in Atlanta is insane, leave early!
NedFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2026
DONT USE AMERICAN, I always have the worst time on American flights. Enroll in TSA precheck touchless ID to skip the line, so worth it.
MarcFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2026
In the Charlotte airport, eat at the Midwood Smokehouse: great pulled pork say, and try Old Mecklenberg beer, a local german style brewery. They make Altbier and Kölsch! The. AA terminal at La Guardia airport is bramd new, with great food and shopping. Free bus between airport and Jackson Heights subway station. Subway is much faster than. a cab to. Manhattan. Only problem is finding. the elevators at a station or on tne subway platform!
VishanFlew with Porter Airlines-Jun 2026
If you’re flying through New York, LaGuardia Airport is night and day compared to many older airports. It’s clean, spacious, and has plenty of food and beverage options. I also found both drop-off and pick-up to be very easy and efficient, making the overall travel experience much smoother.
RobertFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026
Get there early so you can enjoy some of at the great restaurants at the airport before you board.
BelindaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
I prefer Oakland over SFO. I liked the self-check for my suitcase for the bag drop . Getting through security went smoothly. It would have been really nice to know my boarding time was 1/2 hour later than on my app. I only found out that boarding was 1/2 hour late after rushing to the gate. I would have had time to go to my airport club had I known. Bag pick up at JFK was fast once I got to baggage claim, that was great
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2026
Keep checking on AA flight status frequently. Do not leave home till the flight status is confirmed.
Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Aug 2026
My most frequent trip is between JFK and SFO on Jet Blue. Food options at SFO are amazing, but expensive. Sadly, getting through security at JFK is a hassle and takes an incredibly long time. Give yourself plenty of time. Also, when I arrived at JFK around midnight, there was no place to get food and I was disappointed to learn that I needed to take the air train all the way out to Howard Beach to get an Uber.
Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Aug 2026
The seats at JetBlue are old and uncomfortable. Make sure that you check that your assigned seat can recline if you have health issues or spine pain.
NoahFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026
JFK airport was really hard to navigate, and security line took nearly 45 minutes; we nearly missed our connection to fly from JFK to San Paulo, Brazil.
sondraFlew with Delta-May 2026
No need to arrive too early. TSA is a breeze.
pFlew with JetBlue-Apr 2026
Its a short flight and you dont wait very long to get your checked bags but it is a haul to get to ground transpiration from the terminal. Also, Jet blue terminal in Boston is meh...
MichelleFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2026
Lots of construction going on so plan accordingly and don't get too comfortable in one spot. All the times I've departed from Dallas, I had several gate changes prior to departure. And they aren't close by. :)
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
As I said the terminal for Alaska at JFK is horrendous -- new but very , very large with long distances to get to the gates and not enough automatic walking ways for a terminal of this size -- and 3 escalators?? Really! If you can get a direct flight from another airline I would definitely change but they may be the only one around.

travel to ohare is horror - work in extra time
JeffFlew with Delta-Dec 2025
Worth being a SkyMiles member for the free checked bag Plan extra time at Miami, the walk from the MIAMover to the check in was very far and the moving sidewalks were not functioning.
BillFlew with Japan Airlines-Dec 2025
Take the first flight out in the morning. Always your best chance!
RichardFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2026
Because the CLT to NY flights are short distance/ duration I have noticed that they are often the first to be delayed or cancelled when there are weather issues. The worst airline for this route is American who seems to always have issues with crews timing out, lost baggage, mechanical delays, etc. AA is usually one of the worst carriers for cancelling/ delaying flights. I find the Delta flights to be the most reliable and timely. However, Delta flys smaller planes and so there is limited space for carry-on bags. You may have to check your bag at the gate and pick it up in the jetway afterwards. In terms of airports, the Charlotte airport has been undergoing a renovation for many years and is still a mess with many of the moving sidewalks not moving. Airport parking is particularly challenging and so you need to allow plenty of time before your flight. In NY, it really depends on time of day and weather. LGA is close to Manhattan, but it is the first to be impacted by weather. The LGA airport is modern and renovated. I generally prefer it to JFK and EWR unless there is bad weather.
GraceFlew with Delta-Feb 2026
We were early arriving so had to sit on the runway for a bit. Remember that you aren’t really supposed to use the lavatories in those situations as it’s an “active runway” situation, so plan to use the bathroom if you need to prior to descent.
JeffFlew with Delta-Dec 2025
Eat before boarding or bring your own snack on board.
MathewFlew with Delta-Jun 2025
Make sure to pack 2-3 days of clothing in a carryon.
AshleyFlew with Delta-May 2025
Pick the airport closest to where you want to stay - choose LGA, JFK or Newark. Remember to account for traffic when choosing!
AndrewFlew with Air Canada-Mar 2025
Make sure you know where you're going - if this is your first time, slow down and take a moment, it can be overwhelming. Also ubers anywhere are massively more expensive!

Give yourself the appropriate amount of time because getting to the boarding gates takes some time due to the layout of the wait port but the signs are clear and the transportation is well organized.
JubyFlew with Southwest-Oct 2024
Get to the airport early enough to relax and enjoy the good grub found in the airport
JoanFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024
SeaTac should add sand to the painted floor from the terminal to the light rail. It is VARY slippery when wet and the northwest (Seattle) is known for rain.
ReganFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2024
You don't have to be at the airport 3 hours in advance as crowds are minimal.

Walk with something to eat, because everything on the airport is expensive.
YefimFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2024
JFK is under construction and it takes forever to get to terminals: huge traffic due to closed lanes because of it.
RolandoFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
Pay for the upgrade to be bumped up in an earlier group. Makes finding a spot for your carryon bag much easier. Also, please make sure any purse is packed into your personal bag. When they say a carryon and 1 personal item they mean it. Save yourself stress and holding others up by sticking to it.
HenryFlew with Breeze Airways-Aug 2024
For MCO arrive with plenty of time to make it through the TSA checkpoint. Stewart / Newburgh is a great smaller airport to fly in or out of.
ChrisFlew with Frontier-Jul 2024
Ship your larger items and clothing. Bring a backpack only on plane
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
New York JFK is massive and the signage there for connecting flights is not so good as you need to travel via AirTrain between the different terminals and the signage for this is missing in some places, making it confusing as to which way to go.
JoeFlew with Frontier-Mar 2024
Only use Fort Myers Airport twice. Everything went smoothly. Smaller Airport super easy getting in and out. Thirfty and Dollar car rent were super busy and lines were very long. Your wait could be well over an hour to get through line. My advice use another provider. For your car rental. Lines were much smaller.
AlexanderFlew with Spirit Airlines-May 2024
Know your connection options — specially when LaGuardia Airport (LGA) only has buses going to/from the airport to the rest of the city. Luckily, the one to the subway station (Q70) is free-of-charge to ride on!

Get to the airport early especially for International flights so as to make sure screening is completed. The Delta kiosks are glitchy and do not always work

It's a small airport that seems to always be overcrowded. Arrive at the airport an hour before your scheduled flight time and you'll be fine.

All flight attendants and pilots kept us informed regarding the mechanical delay , provided snacks and water when requested . Everyone worked hard and were very friendly.We had a great experience.

Another pleasant experience flying Delta! Boarding was easy and efficient. The gate area was clean and uncrowded, and the gate agent was friendly, courteous, and professional. The flight itself went like clockwork. We experienced a slight delay, but that appeared to be related to operations at LaGuardia rather than Delta. Once underway, the flight was smooth, and the landing was gentle and uneventful. The flight attendants were equally courteous, attentive, and professional throughout the journey. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Thank you, Delta, and well done to the entire crew! 🙏🏽💗

No beverage/snack service without any explanation or reason. Late boarding and delayed flight.

Gate agent in LAS named Juliett should win an award for excellent customer service.

Leslie the gate agent was incredibly helpful with helping me get on an earlier flight! I saved several hours of airport time thanks to her, and she made the process easy and quick.

The flight was delayed to board, then delay in landing and extremely bumpy landing.

For some reason, there was very little volume on the cabin announcements. You could not hear what the pilot or crew were saying.

Carmen was an absolute delight on the flight staff! Everyone was lovely and made it a very pleasant flight.

I don't know why the crew decided to board 15 minutes early without informing anyone not at the gate. Why would you have the app send a notification that we're boarding on time, instead board early, and then rush me to the gate. Then have me check my carry-on when I specifically packed my bag as to not do so.

No headphones, forced to sit in another seat that I did not book, had to check my carry on when I boarded the plane I saw backpacks and other non carry on items stuffed in the carry on holder! Horrible experience Wi-Fi did not work either

Good flight, even though there was a delay, still got back on time

Flight was late to take off Plane broke down Had to move everyone to another plane Told we weren’t going to LGA but Newark Also told we would be taken to NY But United lied and we ended up at Newark at 2 in the morning Horrible experience. And the experience of trying to get compensation from United is just as bad. They could not care less about their passengers Never again!

It would have been better if the crew has supported my husband's reasons for needing to keep the space clear around his feet, rather than insisting that he put his knapsack in that space.

Evidently, my seat had the only broken TV. I couldn’t plug it in, get it to come on, or watch anything, and of course, no one could fix it while we were on the plane. The service was good and the boarding was quick

Delays from united along with Newark air space caused delays. But an average flight! Unfortunately we come to expect delays from the airlines.

Fast checkin with the self serve terminal, good communication at the boarding gate.

The plane’s radio wasn’t working. This delayed the plane for an hour and a half. Then we all broaded and taxied down the runway only to get called back because the radio was still not working. Had to get off the plane and then find another plane making the trip 4 hours delayed. Maybe a different plane should have been chosen sooner?!?!?!

There was no room in overhead bin to place our luggage despite we had tree seats. It means a lot of people had more than 1 carry on bags. When I asked a crew member to help she said that it was not her responsibility.

There was no screens on board AND the WiFi didn’t work. My seat was broken and couldn’t recline so I couldn’t even sleep. The flight attendants didn’t offer anything to make it more comfortable. It was such an old cramped plane, when the person in front of me reclined I couldn’t even open my tray table. All the United ads talk about guaranteeing everyone gets a screen!

Wheelchair assistance was not complete. The person left me at the departure gate without informing the groundstaff of my requirements. I had to walk to the departure counter to ask for help to reach the plane door. The crew informed me that in future they were not allowed to help passengers like me, senior citizen and Wheelchair passenger with placing their carry on bags in the overhead compartments!

Our seats were moved for no reason. The plane was old and wifi and tv were slow. The flight was delayed over an hour for a paperwork issue. Only bright spot was the flight attendants good service.

The crew did not ensure the Evermore seats had their carry on space available. When my family and I boarded, we saw people putting their carry on suitcases in the overhead spaces above our seats and then proceed to the rear part of the plane. This resulted in us having to check our bags and being late to our meetings/events.

The crew was friendly and helpful. The entertainment system in my row did not work for movies and TV shows and the Direct TV cut off in parts and stopped showing the baseball playoff game.

Non-stop commercials were frustrating when trying to view direct TV

Great. I was in mint class. Security was spectacular. A lot of room on the flight! And the WiFi worked this time- it didn’t work the last time and I am on a business trip so that was a problem.

Paid relatively a lot of money for a not comfortable seat. I would not take this service again until seating is improved. Food also not up to standard for price paid.

My original flight was cancelled. My replacement flight was delayed over 2 hours. I lost my whole day in NY

Delays were crazy long (over an hour) both for boarding and baggage claim

awful expereince. boarding was a mess and not communicated, then we sat on a hot plane and were at risk of getting kicked off

2 hour delay and a lack of air conditioning on the plane. Not a good combination

We had bad delays and waited for hours on end, we did receive a 12 dollar coupon to use in the airport though. Oh wait, we got that on the plane so we couldn't even use it. I truly never want to fly American ever again.

I was able to enlist on standby for an earlier flight, and eventually made it (last row). However, the experience was poor and felt unfair. On the standby list, I was ranked #2 (#1 had been cleared a seat). The person ranked as #3, who was also in the queue alongside me was given a seat much earlier - with group 4 boarding (a seat within the first 2 rows after business class). When inquired about why I was skipped-over on the priority list, the gate agent first paused (likely cuz she couldn't explain) - and then gave me the standard expectation that if a space opens up, she'll give me the seat. Despite my priority ranking being higher, I was unduly held-back, and could have missed the plane - unfairly giving advantage to someone else. Luckily one seat opened up; but given the unfair assignment of standby seat by gate-agent, this was a subpar boarding experience.

Cabin crew were good Food could be a lot better

It was a short flight so there were no entertainments nor super comfortable which is OKAY, just the review system doesnt allow for N/A which is why okay was put, but overall good! No delays and nice crew

AA was fine....the overall experience was subpar, but not due to the airline due to broader issues

Old plane. Nowhere as compared to non US airlines like JAL.

Not good always. Even our trip to japan was disaster with the American airlines delays and cancellatios. Now unfortunately we needed to book again with them last min. Was okay but as usual not comfortable seating.

Susan the flight attendant was great. She greeted me with a smile and showed great hospitality.

Horrible! We departed out of terminal 5, not only was the sign for flights and gate information were so badly organized that it took 2 minutes for all of the flight info load for the correct airline. One would think BA would have new and well managed jet ways, but no you had to take a bus to the plane. It took for every and detailed departure by 40 mins. I’ve had better class of service from Indian Airlines. BA needs to work on upscaling to meet the Industry norms. I can see regional airlines using this loading method but not on an international flight.

Good flight, regional jet so old and seats could use an upgrade

Sat in the airport waiting for my flight for 5 hours. Finally got on the plane only to be thrown off and told that my flight was cancelled. Zero customer service. Nobody spoke to us. Just the worst

A 630departure flight Delayed 6hours! They changed my gate, I moved to the new gate. Had our flight on the screen for 12noon departure. I go get above to eat, check screen again and the flight was gone, no notice no announcement, nothing!! They sent my bag on the flight I wasn’t on, got it back to me 3days later. Thank goodness they did refund my money but I will NEVER fly them again.

Plane and crew on board were fine. Everything else was terrible.

Disaster. They lied every step of the way. We ended up being delayed due to crew and then allegedly abandoned the flight because of a curfew at LGA. No rebooking to LGA at any reasonable time. No hotel. No meal vouchers. Had to sleep in the airport and fly to Newark instead. Will never fly Frontier again.

My first flight was delayed 5 hours. The 2nd flight was canceled til the next day and the never even tried to compensate for it. Worse I was delayed again on the flight the rebooked me on.

I guess you get what you pay for. The seats are very uncomfortable and very little space. The snacks were pricey.

Would be great if Frontier can Assign Seats together under one PNR

They cancelled the flight and did nothing. I should be compensated for my uber rides to and from airport. Not a good service by frontier or kayak.

food not having to pay for it, reclining seat would be nice, more leg room, HEAT!!!!!!!

Very easy with the app to board and staff skills
