Friendly crew. Snacks were carb-heavy. Flight was quite delaye

Flight boarded 2.5 hours late (my second southwest flight of the day with late departure), the gate agent was grumpy and unhelpful. Said she was "tired so we aren't going to follow normal boarding order". No complaints about the actual flight crew.

Ever since Southwest starting charging for bags, passengers don't want to pay to check their bags, so the gate agents have to beg people to check their roller bags now because there's "not enough space". This was a terrible business move by Southwest.

Delayed flight. Nicest crew member was a SW pilot flying seated next to me who kindly move to seat the final passenger. Flight extra delayed. My cup of refreshment of ginger ale was so packed with ice it was literally 2 sips.

We had a nice flight. Boarding was easy, our seats were comfortable and the on board service was pleasant.

Service was great, boarding and exiting went smoothly, and the flight was very pleasant.

Southwest Airlines is behind the times with a woefully inefficient service animal policy that leads to major inconsistency and stress for passengers and crew alike. Despite so many attempts to share feedback and request better support, they bungled it once again and provoked a panic attack in the process, with no apologies or acknowledgment that their crew was failing to adhere to their own inadequate policies. WiFi didn’t work, flight was delayed by an hour, it was about what I’ve come to expect from Southwest these days.

Flights were full but SWA still managed to get everyone loaded and depart on time. No snack or beverage service on the first leg due to turbulance. Seats were clean but very little cushioning. Reasonable amount of leg room.

Our flight to Oakland was great bc the plane was new but it was delayed by 15min not bad at all. Over all it was an 8/10

Our flight to Vegas was delayed by almost two hours - I appreciated the updates but it was a bummer of a start to a celebratory trip. The delays meant we missed our dinner reservations we made a month ago so that was disappointing. Once we got to the gate, though, the crew did all they could to make up for the lost time and to keep it efficient and enjoyable, so I appreciate their efforts!!

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

Everything was pretty good. I would like to have more drinks (water) during four hours of the flight.

My son’s suitcase was left behind at SFO and did not make the flight.

It was nt delta. It was aeromexo. Service was awful. They served a very small drink and NO snack for a 3hr and 35min flight. Then for the first 30 min of the flight is was talk and talk over head interruption the movie/ show i picked to watch.

It was an overnight flight and I desperately needed coffee before we landed, but Delta does only one beverage service, and that is shortly after takeoff, not before landing at 5 am.

Free Wi-Fi is good. That’s all - food mediocre, unfriendly crew, poor communication after trying to file a claim for my lost bag, which Delta didn’t even know was lost until I told them.

Everything went smoothly. I didn’t like that when I booked in the main cabin my wife and I weren’t seated together. One would think when booking on an option that allows picking your seat. They would put you and your travel partner together. Had to call to get it sorted. They did fix.

Keep us informed of delays in a more timely manner

were we seat it was freezing cold we even got sick. We asked the flight attending why it was so cold and she said she will take care of it and it got worse.

Caroline (Supervisor) was great! Salute to the employees like her!

Free wifi was almost impossible to get, kept dropping the connection

Overall great experience, though my screen for entertainment was not working and I could see that others were.

The boarding agent and checked bag agent were both rude. It only takes a second to be kind. However, the flight crew was amazing. I got a turkey sandwich and it wasn't bad---not great but not bad. The internet was my biggest problem. This was a work trip and I REALLY needed the internet to meet a deadline but it didn't work for 80% of the trip. Very disappointing.

They lost my luggage and have ruined first day of my vacation. Still don’t have it. I have nothing. I also paid for a seat I did not get. They changed both our seats with no notice. Will never fly this airline again.

Flight was delayed 3 hours. No food on plane besides snacks

The crew and the pilots. The pilots were amazing. The landing in Cancun was excellent.

In flight on demand didn't work at our seats. Only a single beverage/snack run.

Kayak sent over to jet blue my account being Mike Callaghan instead of Michael. I have a jet blue account with Michael that was connected

Problem with the gate after landing for an hour caused lots of issues for commuting after. Don’t think the crew handled it well at all.

Landing was bad. Gate issue or something for 1 hour. Missed my taxi, thus paid triple for the ride to my hotel.

Super BAD Everyone Behind the counters in Cancun Not Helpful At All And then on the second flight I Had to purchase Cancun - Guadalajara one of the flight Attendants Kick Out a Couple Out of the Plane and that Flight Attendant Had a Mask So People wouldn’t take pics of her and she was kind of Mean ! I Would NEVER Flight VIVA EVER THEY ARE NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL ! People think They Are Cheap but They Arent!!!

One of the flight was delayed an hour. We then boarded a new flight. We were told to unboard after some other time. To wait for the next flight for another hour. I paid for a short flight that turned in to half a day of travel.

No entertainment, charging, nor wifi on board but I napped for basically the entire time so it was alright. Was allowed to switch seats because the flight was not full but everyone was assigned to the back. Comfortable seats and we got moved to the emergency exit so the extra room was nice.

Painless trip. Only downside: No entertainment system (which we know with Viva & Volaris) and very small seat space. I'm petite and felt squizzed. I'm not sure how most overweight passengers do.

THE AIRLINE FUCKEN SUCKS... NO DAMN PROFESIONALS.. NO CURTESY THEY CANCEL THE DAMN FLIGHT AS ITS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF

They need to have enough immigration forms for every one. They should offer free water to everyone, unless some one needs bottled water

Buen servicio y muy puntual El problema ENORME es pagar por la página de Viva Aerobús lo cual es imposible aún con fondos suficientes en la tarjeta. Eso te obliga a acudir al callcenter de la aerolínea, en donde para que te atiendan transcurren 45 minutos, y ya que se tiene la suerte de comenzar la llamada, te toma otros 60 minutos terminar el proceso de pago de los tickets o de la maleta extra que deseas comprar.

It is ridiculous that electronic checkin for under age kids can be done and need to be done over the counter. Having said so, we were requested to do the single line for this as if we never did any checkin or made services for this to happen fast. Just ridiculous. Flight delayed as it is the regular business for this airline.

They cancel the fly and don’t give a money refund.

The air conditioner was poor and we were delayed 1 hour for no apparent reasons and no information provided

Overall a good red eye. Crew chatted very loudly the whole time making it difficult to sleep.

The fly was 2 hours delayed and the plane was old and dirty. A very umcorfotable flight, which I won't recomend to anyone

Confusion over extra fees. Held up on ramp during boarding. Thin seat cushion. Minimal leg room.

The check-in is either at a kiosk that didn’t allow me to check-in because my middle name was not on the reservation or at an agent that cost $15.

They don’t give anything for free you have to pay for everything which it’s expected but at least give out water and a snack as a courtesy for flying with them.

The app doesn’t work. I am having a lot of trouble checking in for flight tomorrow. Very disconcerting. Then they es t to charge extra for checking in at the airport;(

To many extra fees, poor customer service and very uncomfortable flight. No leg room and seat wont recline.

Our flight got overbooked and we missed one day of our trip.

Be prepared to pay extra for everything! I'm not sure I really saved any money?

Check in at LAX was terrible. Unbelievable lines. Chaos. The landing in Morelia was scary, with the plane fishtailing. If other airlines flew directly between California and Morelia, I would never fly Volaris again.
