Driving 1.5 hours to connect in Charleston to New Haven CT was a waste. New Haven is the worst airport in the US. Everything is outside and this is an issue in bad weather. Zero parking. Only opening 2 hours before wheels up gives you no flexibility. I am done with Breeze. By the time i buy everything i need, im saving no money.

Flight Grand Jct to Las Vegas the internet wasn't working. Flight Las Vegas to Grand Jct we didnt have internet & my air vents was broken making the plane a bit warm. I understand not having a lot of food choices for such a short flight, but not pretzels, cookies or anything offered & only free beverage choices were water, tea, or coffee; not even ginger ale or a soda. Like everything else, you get less & pay more these days.

Breeze Airways is a no nonsense, no extra fluff kind of airline. They have just the basics, boarding is short and easy, and the cost for flights are fair. Will definitely be flying Breeze again!

I thought I paid for a round trip for carry-on and my ticket only had one way when I purchased a round trip Didn't make sense to me .Not what you want to hear when it's time to go home.

It was easy and very comfortable! The crew was accommodating and cheerful. I enjoyed myself!

Our flight was delayed 7 hours. Due to a change in equipment we were downgraded from "Nicest" to "Nicer," even having to pay for a soft drink. Disappointing. To Breeze's credit that issued a $100 flight credit. A refund would have been more appreciated.

Lady at check in counter helped me get a seat in the cut row all to myself.

Our gate was changed twice, but since they were super close it wasn't an issue. We were delayed 90 mins or so, which wasn't great, but sometimes that's just what happens. Communication was the issue. We weren't kept informed about delays--with more information I would have gotten a real meal, taken a "bio break" and purchased a new book. Because another. flight was being updated more frequently about their delays, I thought ours would be shorter and stayed close by. It left me feeling more frustrated than was necessary.

The flight was rescheduled and canceled. I had to go with another airline last minute to honor my school commitment. The reimbursement is a joke -$150 for a one way plane ticket.

The flight itself was A+ but boarding sucked. They boarded all passengers at once, and as a result I did not get to put my carryon in an overhead bin near me so I had to wait till near the end to deplane.

Had to walk back and forth between concourses to figure out which gate I was supposed to be at. The app and the flight board in the airport had different gates listed. Was told numerous times to check bags only to get on the plane and find that there was plenty of room for bags. The flight was over an hour late which had me landing after the last train departed. WiFi was unusable

My experience was okay I changed my returning flight and I was charged extra money which I dont think should be the case, especially because I experienced small delays from my going flight. And many flights were either canceled or delayed after my original flight time. I believe some customers should have the ability to change flights due to certain situations

WiFi was inoperable - second in four recent Southwest flights where that was true. I need WiFi for work and if Southwest cannot provide, I’ll stop using it

Your computers were down and took a long time to check baggage

Flight attendant skipped about 6 rows for drink service. I got a side eye when I asked for a drink - like it was an inconvenience or my mistake. He shouldn't be on a flight if he doesn't like his job and doesn't have customer service first attitude.

They did not fix the wifi that they knew was an issue on an earlier flight. The flight was filled with business people that were clearly frustrated not being able to work. That can’t happen on a 3 1/2 hour flight. Would rather have been delayed a bit.

Eveeyrime I fly they are begging for bags due to cabin overhead space. What they should so ia take the bags that are clearly too big to fit wheels first on their side. And those of us who give up the bag should really get their bags first. When boarding, nobody wants stupid jokes about how hot it is on board. Give us some cool air. Im usually sick from the heat by the time we take off.

My experience will Southwest was good. I wish there was more entertainment and the boarding process was slow at time but other than that my experience was great definitely will be flying with SouthWest again.

if I was good. Not happy that I have to pay extra money to get the seat I need for lake room, but I guess that’s a sign of the times.

Great flight. Good snacks and drinks. Grateful it was free. The flight from Nashville to louisville, i think her name was Tracy (not sure that's right) super awesome, nice and cheerful. She really enjoyed being at work today! She was the person who scanned the boarding pass on flight wn941. She should be recommended for a raise !

WiFi only works on about 75% of my Delta flights. I rarely fly SW, but their WiFi works 100% of the time and is easy to connect. On my DL flight from DCA to BNA today, I try to connect to WiFi for about 30 minutes, but I gave up. I have a lot of work to do, and I lost two hours today. Very frustrating.

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

The flight was delayed at the very last minute and no information, both of my round trip flights were delayed at least the BNA to Boston was informed earlier but the return one was horrible

While it wasn't the crew's fault, it was a frustrating flight. We sat on the runway for 2+ hours. Both of the flight attendants were excellent and did a great job checking on the passengers. The pilot did keep us informed about the wait. I appreciate the crew apologizing for LaGuardia airport's backup.

Internet didn’t work for this leg either. The seat was fine but didn’t have seatback screen, which I knew when I booked it. The biggest letdown is Deltas new policy on beverage/snack service not being served for flights less than 350 miles. I know this is a cost cutting measure, but how much does it really cost to give a drink and a snack for inflated airfare? I really am surprised that with Delta Comfort they don’t provide beverage/snack service given these seats cost extra to purchase. Really need to reconsider this, even if it’s for the Delta Comfort and above.

The flights are constantly late anymore, and they won't even give you a glass of water on the plane. For years, they were able to do a service on this flight from Atlanta to Knoxville and Knoxville Atlanta now they say it's too short of a flight. You can't even get a quick drink of water.

Should never have had to go to Detroit from Orlando back to Tennessee!

My flight was canceled on Sunday. Rebooking took three hours. Had to pay for accommodations another night. New flight was delayed for 5 hours, all that was sent was a 12 dollar food voucher, which doesn’t tell you how to use it. Then when we landed we had to sit on the plane for an hour before we could get off.

Same experience as the flight from Norfolk to Atlanta where people are boarded in zones that don't make sense. People behind you on the plane will get on before you and they take the luggage space on your row.

Smallest leg room I've ever had on a plane.

I didn't like anything about this flight. The only reason anyone drinks Jack is because you ran out of Woodford. You should know to stock more Woodford. When you wait of first class hand and foot from the minute they get on the plane 5 feet from me but then start service from the rear of the plane so main cabin plus gets the scraps, that's how you get people to stop flying your airline.

The flight was normal, until it wasn't. I fell asleep after boarding, woke up still on the ground, the flight couldn't leave the gate due to mechanical issues, including a/c failure. The air felt thin, similar to high altitudes, not sure if that's why I fell asleep but it happened to the passenger next to me too. They hooked us up to external air but it didn't seem to help much. They finally decided to deboard us after nearly 2 1/2 hours. We reboarded about 45 minutes later and landed about 3 hours 15 minutes late. Some passengers got water or something but I was never offered either. Honestly, with that big of a delay, they should have provided full service to make sure their sweating passengers had fluids. Yes, it was a typical over 90 degree day in Texas. The lady in front of me said she was getting a heat rash. It was rough . . .

Flight was delayed and so much of inconvenience related to the gate change.

Flight was smooth and on time: however, this flight was filled with advertising. We got it over the speaker system both when we took off and when we landed. Flight attendants were handing out sales flyers when we landed. It was not a good look.

Arrived early picked up my bag in a few minutes- great trip - thank you

Flight was smooth, quick and felt safe. The 2 delays not happening would have been better but I guess that happens in the airline industry

Delayed because of weather in Nashville. I think God or some higher power generally has cursed me when it comes to flying out of Charlotte on American. I'm delayed pretty much everytime. We need Team Cobra Kai types to come in and "sweep the leg(s)" of the Charlotte ops people on principle. Don't let the sweet southern rocking chairs fool you, Charlotte is a sinkhole

At least it was a short flight. Greyhound with wings.

Our flight got changed and/or delayed 8 times before we boarded.

Leg room great in main cabin....short flight no interaction with cabin crew

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.

Our flight was delayed 2 hours and when they changed the the time to 1 hour I wasn't alerted and when I checked the gate the plane was still there but they already shut the doors so I had to buy another flight.

Flight was scheduled at 9:40pm. Got delayed to 10 am, the next day. crazy

I liked the price of the flight and the chance to buy a seat with no person seated in the middle seat.. Also the flight was right on time.

There were a lot of issues every step of the process. Check in, security, boarding, and dealing with luggage. Plus the money you think you are saving you end up using in hidden fees.

Flight got delayed for 3.5 hours, and for the first hour after the departure time there was no update from the gate folks...

Horrible communication about delay of flight and what options were available

I am very disappointed with Frontier Airlines. They cancelled our flight because they couldn't find a crew member, and then didn't get us to our connecting flight. We had to cancel our whole vacation. We were promised flight and hotel vouchers, but they never sent them.

Over an hour delay in departure but I was notified beforehand. Another delay on tarmac upon arrival at LGA. We ended up departing the plane almost 2 hours later than expected

Attendance were to busy bull shitting to pay attention to the guest, had an attude problem.
