Flights from North America to the United States: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from North America to the United States 
JacobFlew with Breeze Airways-Oct 2026
Whether you're flying out of Arcata California, Las Vegas, or Provo Utah, I recommend flying with Breeze Airways. If your trip allows, go with one carry on and pay for that carry on 12-24 hours before your flight while you're checking in on their website, not when you book the flight weeks before. It's super easy and you get the best discount this way ($45 instead of $50-$75 when you're at the airport or if you try adding the baggage while booking your flight through a third-party).
Verified travelerFlew with ITA Airways-Sep 2026
If you have a connecting flight in Chicago check which terminal it boards from and transport there asap since Chicago is a huge airport. There was a very helpful very small desk tucked away downstairs that was able to assist with getting a number of passengers on an airport shuttle. I arrived at the terminal as the connecting flight was boarding. One clue, if you don't see your flight on the screen it might be at a different terminal.
MelanieFlew with Turkish Airlines-Nov 2026
Be sure to schedule at least 3 hour between international and domestic flight as you have to change terminals and pull luggage from first flight and give to connector agents. We almost missed our flight - last one on board with a 2 1/4 hour layover.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Sep 2026
Hawaiian Airlines were excellent from check in, and boarding to arrival. But I direct San Jose to Kailua-Kona would be better than the the hop in and out of Honolulu. The time to get from one gate to another in Honolulu was too short
LynzieFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2026
Ensure you give yourself time between flights to adequately arrive on time. With how enormous the airport is, ensure you have enough time to walk if there is a terminal change. It’s 10 minutes approximately between terminal B-F if you walk really quickly.
CliffordFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
Download any media content prior to your trip, take a tablet for a bigger screen, and take some ibuprofen or Tylenol prior to boarding so your butt and back will not be sore from the very stiff slimline seats.
WeiFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2026
This flight usually departs from gate B28. Enjoy a quick meal at Legal’s or Stephanie’s, refill your water bottle at the water station nearby, and enjoy the very quick boarding process implemented!

Smooth transition, bit of walking from baggage claim to customs to trains for gates. However, very quick at quiet times, loved it. No issues, had a coffee along the way.
GeraldFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Try to fly as early in the day as possible. Delays compound as the day progresses. I always try for a flight where the plane arrives the previous night.
JuneFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2026
If there is a significant delay, talk to the counter asap and ask if it's possible to switch flights to a one that is less delayed

You likely don't have to pay to check a bag since SWA always asks for volunteers to check bags for free at the gate.

ShuheiFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
the traffic in Atlanta is insane, leave early!
NeCallFlew with Frontier-Sep 2026
For travelers flying Cincinnati (CVG) to Atlanta (ATL), I recommend paying close attention to the total cost of your ticket once baggage and other fees are included—not just the advertised fare. Know the airline’s personal-item and carry-on rules before arriving at the airport, pay for any needed baggage in advance when possible, and keep your receipts. Also be prepared for schedule changes. My Frontier return flight was delayed three times, so I would avoid making important plans too close to the scheduled arrival time. If traveling with a carry-on, board as early as your boarding group permits. Overhead-bin management on my flight was frustrating: bins were closed while space still appeared available, and my bag was removed from an overhead bin after I had placed it there so another passenger’s bag could be accommodated. For this route, I would compare Frontier’s final price—including baggage and seat fees—with other airlines before booking. A slightly higher fare may be worthwhile if schedule reliability, baggage flexibility and the overall customer-service experience are priorities. CVG itself was easy to navigate. My concerns were with the airline experience rather than the Cincinnati airport.
NeCallFlew with Frontier-Sep 2026
For travelers flying Atlanta to Cincinnati, compare the total cost of the trip—not just the advertised fare. Check baggage, seat-selection and other fees before booking so you can make a fair comparison between Frontier and other airlines. If traveling with a carry-on, board as early as your boarding group or status permits. On my flight, several overhead bins near the front were closed even though I observed available space in at least one of them. I would also leave some flexibility in your schedule. Our aircraft had already boarded and pushed back when a discrepancy between the passenger count and manifest resulted in multiple recounts and ultimately a return to the gate, delaying our departure by nearly an hour. I appreciated that the pilot communicated with passengers throughout the situation and explained that some of the lost time might be recovered during the flight. ATL is a very large airport, so allow plenty of time for security and getting to your concourse. CVG was comparatively easy to navigate upon arrival. Overall, compare price, schedule, baggage policies and service rather than choosing solely on the lowest advertised fare.
JerryFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Always watch the flight connection window. If it is less than an hour and changing concourses (like Dulles), you're asking for trouble (have your travel insurance contact number ready). Of course, that doesn't apply to American or United Airlines as they are typically late. If you get an Embraer 175 or larger aircraft, you will have a great flight. If longer than two hour flight, hope you don't get a Boeing 757 aircraft - the most ungodly uncomfortable sardine can with wings, ever made. Have a chiropractor or massage specialist waiting at your destination. If you have a 757 for Trans-Atlantic or Trans-Pacific flights, choose business class seats.
GerardFlew with American Airlines-Nov 2026
I choose a flight based upon the aircraft being used. I prefer wide body aircraft (Airbus A330, Boeing 777 or 787) as they offer lie-flat seats in first class. The 787 is preferable due to the 1-2-1 seating in first class. Alas, most carriers are now using single aisle aircraft to on the West Coast - Hawaii routes; planes like the Boeing 737 (and variants), and the Airbus A32x. A few still use the Boeing 757 and Delta continues to use the Boeing 767. First class in the 767 is much better than on 737, 757, and Airbus 32x aircraft.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
They boarded us as usual, but then we had to wait on the plane for a long time until for some reason they had to switch flying crew. The plane was newer, so the seats were semi comfortable in economy class and everything was working. One good thing the crew on the plane asked people to stay in their seats and let people with connecting flight to go first as they were getting late for connecting flights to go further on their destination.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2026
Check your watch carefully! I was afraid I was going to be late for my flight because I thought my watch said it was an hour later than it actually was. Also, if you need special services, like a wheelchair ride between flights, be sure you make it at the same time you make your reservation and get a confirmation for it.
MollyFlew with Delta-Oct 2026
The security lines were much longer than Atlanta but it moved quickly and efficiently. I found out flights leaving San Diego are almost always late b/c San Diego only has ONE runway for flights going in and out, so there is a long taxi/wait to take off.
AnneFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Can upgrade from Basic(no change, no refund) to changeable ticket for $100 more -BUT then you must pay another $75 to reserve that new seat PLUS any difference in airfare. Not as great for changing flights as for cancel & rebook using credit received for original booking.
CesarFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
Both are very big airports, in particular Miami Airport is very confusing to move around. Before start running between gates ask help locally to avoid by mistake to go through a door you can't return later or lose to much time towards the wrong direction.
LaFlew with Air Canada-Sep 2026
Air canada seems to run on time. But people need to thoroughly review bag policies. Lots of people brought that wouldn't fit in the overhead bins or under the seat, and these bags needed to be checked which delays the boarding process.
ChipFlew with Cape Air-Sep 2026
Since we live on an island, we try to arrange for a Plan B when making travel plans. There are two ways to ‘escape’: ferry or flight. The available flights on Cape Air, Jet Blue and United are scant, so plan accordingly.
NicholasFlew with Southwest-Oct 2026
Be prepared to walk outside while the airport is under construction - and the interterminal shuttle fills fast so get there and in line quickly. (International Arrivals are at the far side of terminal 2- Southwest flies domestically out of Terminal 1)

You will have to gate check your bag if it is any bigger than a backpack or duffle bag. Expect to find your bag in baggage claim, not at the end of the walkway.

ITimely information could have changed our plans. We learned only after waiting about 40 minutes that an earlier ground stop had delayed flights. Had we been told sooner, we might have changed our flight, delayed our trip to the airport, used another airport, or— in my case—left a day earlier. Sharing the information only after those options were no longer practical left us feeling stuck with a bad situation. Recommendation: Notify passengers as soon as a ground stop or other significant disruption is known, and provide clear updates about expected delays and available rebooking options. Before traveling, passengers should also check for airport and airline alerts and consider early flights, which may offer more flexibility when disruptions occur.
DaVonyaFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
If flying from Tampa to DC, I would recommend considering other airlines over American Airlines for this route. My experience involved nearly 10 delays and a departure that was over 5 hours late with minimal communication or accommodations. For this route, Southwest and JetBlue tend to offer more reliable schedules and better customer service when things go wrong. If you do fly American, book an earlier flight in the day to reduce the risk of cascading delays, and keep in mind that their delay accommodations may be limited to a small food voucher regardless of how long you are stranded.
KimberlyFlew with Delta-Oct 2026

That you don't get much help making connections to a domestic flight after an international flight in Philadelphia. At least that was our experience. Get assurance your bags have been loaded.

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.

Do not depand on the last flight of the day as there were no options, limited hotels, food and beverage place closed at 10PM. CLT is a nice airport it needs a few considerations for evening flights to plan for the unavaidable. Also, when connecting through CLT, if your flight gets cancelled, it seems that the options to move you to another flight are limited.

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.

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.

The Nashville airport remote terminal is isolated and we had a huge backup waiting for shuttles when we landed. Avoid landing in the remote terminal when possible
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Aug 2026
Make sure to have at least 2 hours layover because it is a huge airport and the airport is rather inefficient with unfriendly personnel.

Don’t fly into SFO. Try Oakland instead with the construction that’s happening.

We were held at the gate for a dead heading pilot for 1 hour. This caused us to miss the connecting flight to St. Louis out of Orlando. We did make it on a later flight but we had to pay extra on airport parking and had to pay an extra day’s fee boarding our pets. Thanks a lot Southwest.

Terrible, decided to delay our flight since another flight require a flight captain

staff and crew were great but the flight delays for the last few flights are insane. After a long day of work and you will get a notification of flights delay is not the message we want to see. And for some reason it keeps happening often this year.

I love southwest. I can not wait until all the planes convert to the upgraded planes. I love the charging option and the newer seats. Thank you from a very loyal Southwest customer.

My return flight was much better than the flight there! I paid for seat to Veagas but not the return. Thankgoodness they assigned me a seat with additional leg room as I have back and leg problems. I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

My first flight from LGA to STL was not good. They didn't do service until over halfway through the flight, the internet didn't really work, and the crew all seemed like they didn't want to be there.

We were stressed about landing as our connecting flight was about to start boarding, being unfamiliar with the airport or where the gates were. We exited the plane to discover we were at the gate we needed. We would be getting back on the same plane but nobody told us we could have just stayed onboard. My wife and I were seated on aisle seats across from each other. We asked if there was a way we could sit together. Once we were at cruising altitude they let us move to an unoccupied row so that was nice.

It’s Southwest. The seats are small, the snacks are meh, it’s $50 to check a bag. It’s exactly fine. Could have been better. Could have been worse. It’s not Spirit

They delayed my flight all day but didn't try to reschedule me until all other options were gone. Ended up on a red eye. Not happy. Lesson learned, don't book the last flight from SJC to RDU.

Every single flight I take with southwest is delayed by at least one hour. Unbelievable

As an Elevance employee, don't we get priority boarding? Also, I boarded zone 5 and could not get normal carry on in luggage space. There were many Delta employees on the flight and their bags, which were large and could only fit two bags per compartment, got preference over customers so I had to check my bag.

Everything went smoothly, WiFi connection was strong. Time to upgrade the regional planes, we are all on top of each other. No room to comfortably do anything.

The bathroom is disgustingly dirty. It looks like the crew members didn’t clean it on a regular basis. Also, who made the bathroom so small?. I am not a big girl but I still feel very cramped inside. Def unpleasant experience to use the bathroom.

My experience with Delta is always pleasant. My return flight #1426 from ATL to RIC was very delayed with departure and landing. It also took a substantial amount of time for baggage claim. It was already late at night, so the delays made for a very long day. I did not get home until after 12 midnight.

I had a great flight with delta. Plane was clean and the staff was nice, I would fly again with delta.

After flying with Qatar Airways and Kenya Airlines. Delta leaves a lot to be desired

A 6hr delay is going to put a damper on all reviews. It was almost impossible to get into the Delta club also. Zero conveyance. I could not use my status for anything. Makes me wonder why am I loyal to delta?

I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!

Great overall experience and use of the Delta One lounge was amazing!

I used by Skymiles to upgrade to First so that I could comfortably work using my laptop. But WiFi was intermittent and unavailable for long periods. I feel like I wasted 70,000 miles :(

It is completely insane to me that first class does not include WiFi. Also does not include lounge access. Port for phone charging did not work. The crew was absolutely lovely, and the food was excellent.

I appreciate how quickly and kindly the people at the gate at DCA accommodated several of us who wanted to switch from the 6pm flight to the 5pm flight at the last minute. The flight crew was helpful to us too (dealing with luggage).

Went from a plane with free internet to a plane with paid internet. The entertainment screens didn’t work. Crammed in the back and the crew hit my knee with the cart really hard - it hurt. No apologies. I’m still limping today.

Very uncomfortable and cramped seats. Everything else was okay, the crew members were nice but nothing was exceptional.

Check in went smoothly. Flight attendant who was assigned my area barely paid any attention to me! She acted as though she was extremely busy and flustered. Maybe she was new?! I told her to change the language on my screen, she said she’d come back to help me but never did so I was able to solve the problem on my own. She came back and said she’d made adjustments on her end. Highly doubt it because I found the setting to change the language! Also, I noticed everyone was eating before we landed so I pushed my help button and she never came so I got up to find her to ask her if I can have breakfast. She said they are not serving breakfast but I can have a sandwich. Yes, that was her response as I saw everyone eating breakfast!!!

Terrible flight attendant. Rushing me as I ate my salad and appetizer. Served my dinner while I was still eating my salad. My dinner was dry and very salty. He asked me what I wanted to drink, I said flavored sparkling water. He said we don’t have that we have plain sparkling water. I’ve flown United many times and I know exactly what they have. 10 minutes later he asked me what flavor sparkling water I wanted. Did this with an attitude as if he was being bothered!

United staff were very communicative, the new starlink Wifi is amazing as I was able to work easily.

Starlink internet made the flight time shrink and I was able to work.

Seats are made for children. An 8 hour flight with tiny seats is more like a cattle car. Lost bags at Rome airport caused a 7 hour delay.

We sat on the tarmac in Denver for over 30 minutes because a plane was in our gate. The pilot kept saying it will just be 5 minutes or less. However, we sat for over 30 minutes. Experiences like this make customers not trust what the pilot is saying.

Flight was comfortable- just had to endure a 1 hr delay because of some maintenance issue. Happy that American Airlines does these final checks but just wish they would conduct this maintenance before the flights.

All good. Flight crew was super friendly at the end of a long day

All good. Easy check in and boarding. Lovely flight crew

Friendly crew and pilot. And thank you to the pilot for his smooth landing technique where the wheels don't hit the ground hard - that should be table stakes but doesn't seem to be the case nowadays.

Four hour delay due to late plane arrival- second year in a row on MCO - DCA route. Pitiful service reliability from American. Will avoid in future

Flight was fine, food could have improved (Chicken Enchiladas) and so could the entertainment options on the seat rest (there was none).

I have generally had positive experiences with American Airlines (outside a handful of delayed flights), which is why I wanted to share this feedback constructively. On my recent flight, my travel experience was extremely uncomfortable because my seat mate significantly encroached into my assigned seat space for the duration of the flight. As a result, I was forced to sit partially sideways, with much of my shoulder and upper body extending into the aisle. Unfortunately, my back still hurts from maintaining that awkward position.I recognize that this is a sensitive and challenging issue for airlines and cabin crews to address. Everyone deserves to travel with dignity and respect, and I understand that individual circumstances can vary. However, fairness also requires that all passengers have reasonable access to the seat space they have paid for. When one passenger's use of space substantially impacts another passenger's ability to sit safely and comfortably, there should be a practical solution available.I appreciate the complexities involved, but I hope American Airlines will continue exploring ways to ensure that all passengers can travel comfortably and equitably. This experience detracted significantly from what should have been a routine flight.

The crew was great! The issue for me is the aircraft. The Airbus A32x is just not comfortable enough and the entertainment delivery via personal devices is problematic.

The crew was dis respectful even in business class. I will not recommend AA to anyone and will also fly only when there is no choice

Three aircraft in succession experienced maintenance issues, resulting in a six-hour delay. The original aircraft required replacement, and the substitute aircraft arrived more than two hours late. Passengers boarded that aircraft, only to be told later to deplane due to maintenance concerns. We then boarded a different aircraft that had arrived at the gate, only to be instructed to deplane once again because it, too, experienced maintenance issues. After hours of delays and two separate boarding and deplaning events, passengers were directed to a third aircraft departing from a different terminal and had to rush across the airport to make that flight. That was the only aircraft that ultimately departed without incident. Of course, passenger safety must come first, and I am grateful these issues were identified before takeoff. However, when three aircraft in succession require maintenance attention and passengers are repeatedly boarded before those issues are discovered, it raises legitimate concerns about American Airlines' preventive maintenance procedures and aircraft readiness checks. One aircraft with an unexpected issue can happen. Three aircraft in a row, combined with multiple boarding and deplaning events, suggests a pattern that warrants review. American Airlines needs to take a hard look at both its maintenance practices and its decision-making process for boarding passengers before determining that an aircraft is ready for service.

On Frontier's website and on the app it clearly states that "Eligible active-duty U.S. military personnel and their accompanying spouse and children, when the service member is present and traveling on the same itinerary, will receive complimentary baggage benefits after successfully verifying their military status through ID.me" however, when checking in at the counter the attendant at the ticketing counter stated that it was only for the active duty service member, when I showed the attendant what it stated on the Frontier website and app she gave me an attitude but did change it eventually.

Airport staff was terrible, they made up excusses on how I can get to my terminal, I missed my flight then had to pay for A whole other flight! Worst experience ever, even A employee also loughed and said yea sorry for our poor training.

THE BARE METAL SEATS AT THE FRONTIER GATE IN CLEVELAND HOPKINS AIRPORT ARE DISGUSTING...BUT JUST A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE SEAT MATERIALS ON THE PLANE! THE "COMMERCIAL" ANNOUNCMENT PUSHING THE CREDIT CARD DEAL IS OBNOXIOUS AND UNWELCOME! THE VOLUME OF THE OFFER ANNOUNCMENET BLARES LOUDLY AND IS FILLED WITH A HYPED UP, CANNED SCRIPT. BOTTOM LINE IS THE FLIGHT AND THE CREW WERE VERY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE.

Maximizing profits is one way to a healthy bottom line, the other is repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers. Frontier has clearly chosen the former. One of many examples: Family emergency required me to cut trip short. Headed to the airport to fly standby for the return trip I had already paid for (yes I understand prices vary with demand etc). Was told there is no standby and that I would need to pay for, despite what it's called by the company, what amounts to a new ticket. And surprise surprise, there turned out to be dozens of empty seats on that flight. To say nothing of the sleazy third and fourth party resellers, the flight/ticket insurance I elected and thought I had paid for that mysteriously wasn't there when I needed it before I left, and on and on with third world sleazy management decisions. The inflight coffee (that I had to pay for) was very good though.

You have to be super careful when purchasing as *everything*, a carryon or a sip of soda, has a fee. They relentlessly chip away at you with surcharges and extra costs … and it’s not always clear what you are getting when you buy your ticket. Will not fly them again. And … crew were not friendly until off boarding .. like they don’t like working for Frontier.

Air was off while waiting on the runway and the temperatures became very uncomfortably hot. Flight attendants were very loud and rude the entire flight.

I booked tickets from San Diego to Cincinnati months in advance to attend my sister’s wedding, a wedding where I was serving as the officiant. At 10:00 PM the night before my 6:00 AM flight (just 8 hours before departure), I received an alert that my first leg to Denver was delayed, causing me to miss my connecting flight to Cincinnati. When I called Frontier customer service, they informed me that they couldn't get me on any other flight that would get me there in time for the Saturday wedding, let alone the rehearsal dinner. Because I had a critical role in the wedding, I was forced to buy a last-minute ticket on another airline for three times the original price, costing me well over $1,000 extra. Even with the emergency flight, I still missed the rehearsal dinner entirely. When I spoke with Frontier, they agreed to refund my original ticket, but showed zero care or accountability for the massive financial burden and distress they caused. Their "compensation" for causing me to spend an extra $1,000+ and miss an irreplaceable family event? A $75 Frontier voucher. Frontier completely dropped the ball. Their customer service showed zero empathy, and their reliability is non-existent. I will never fly Frontier again, and no one else should either if they actually need to get where they want to go. Tip for anyone flying from Denver to Cincinnati: Avoid Frontier connecting flights or layovers at all costs, especially for time-sensitive events. Book direct flights with an airline that actually offers reliable customer support and rebooking options when delays occur.

Their customer service showed zero empathy letting me know that it was Frontier who was the real victim by refunding my ticket price, and their reliability is non-existent. I will never fly Frontier again, and I strongly advise anyone who actually needs to arrive at their destination on time for an important event to book with literally any other airline.

Flight delayed and missed connection. Next available flight was a 10 hour delay.

It got me to my destination? However we were an hour delayed departing, and we never received any updates or notifications from staff. Poor communication and customer service.
