Cons: "The social distancing, the cdc is recommending 6 ft but there are passengers directly behind and in grinning us and only one passenger seat empty between 2 people. With covid on the rise, how are you actually doing your party to take care of your customers."

Cons: "The social distancing, the cdc is recommending 6 ft but there are passengers directly behind and in grinning us and only one passenger seat empty between 2 people. With covid on the rise, how are you actually doing your party to take care of your customers."
Cons: "The crew was forced to stay seated the entire flight. They conversed very loudly the entire flight. It was very disruptive."
Pros: "After a late, crowded boarding process, somehow the flight crew got us off the ground on time!"
Cons: "Having more than 2 harried airline agents at the gate to handle the sold out flight filled with families with babies!"
Pros: "The crew was awesome. The entertainment was great with a huge selection of movies. The food was really good."
Cons: "Boarding was delayed while waiting for Delta agents to come and assist people off of the plane."
Pros: "On time arrival is always appreciated."
Cons: "Overhead compartment jammed with someone else's carry on. We paid for "comfort seating" and I frankly didn't see any difference - if there was more room on those seats, it was small enough I couldn't SEE it."
Pros: "the entertainment choices were adequate"
Cons: "More efficient deplanning. It took us 40 minutes to get off the plane after it landed"
Pros: "Not much I liked"
Cons: "The crew were the worst Delta crew I’ve ever had. Sat 1st class and waited 1 hour from sitting in my seat untill I was offered a beverage. Asked for a snack and was told to wait until the basket was brought around, 20 minutes later. Asked for coffee, it was terrible and served with attitude."
Pros: "The crew asked a passenger to move so we could all sit together. It was awesome. :)"
Cons: "Let was a typical flight. About all you can hope for is that it is on time. That makes it excellent."
Pros: "VERY small plane and small narrow seats"
Cons: "Yes...not change my flight at the last minute and causing me to miss my connecting flight. Then making me reschedule my flight with only options that I now have (2) layover and then arrive in Korea another day later, that then caused me to miss my college orientation day!"
Pros: "Once in the plane the crew was great."
Cons: "I paid extra to choose our seats. They told us the seats weren’t available. My family was separated on the plane and I lost out on the money I paid."
Cons: "Understanding the COVID situation but they can give more than a bottle of water (3oz) and a bag of pretzels 🥨 (50 grams) and yet they charge full fare prices and worse extra for any bags!!!!"
Pros: "The crew was very nice. The ride was smooth. The landing was smooth as well."
Cons: "The seats are too close together that I could not sit comfortably the second I sat down. Also we were told to social distance but we were all elbow to elbow so it didn’t really make any sense."
Pros: "Excellent crew staff helping elderly handicapped man. Thank you from Team Trump."
Cons: "Snack would have been nice. Haven’t eaten since 6am before we left providence"
Pros: "Delays. Very hard to rebook. Crew was inattentive. No chargers or TVs. Little overhead bin space. Terrible flight."
Cons: "Fix everything mentioned above"
Pros: "Crew was gracious and helpful"
Cons: "Seating is always crammed, uncomfortable, people packed in like sardines. But I guess that’s par for the course with all airlines nowadays."
Pros: "Crew was awesome...love AA crew! Always and this time superb!"
Cons: "Leg room gets worse and worse...boarding sucked since they took our bags and we felt like it was only us that were singled out!!!"
Pros: "On time, main cabin extra was great, crew was nice, entertainment was great."
Cons: "No criticism"
Cons: "Update from the pilot. Stalled for over 20 mins after landing with no update from staff as to the reason why. No entertainment. Sucked."
Pros: "American Airlines ancient crew could not be bothered"
Cons: "The crew could have given a care and tried to make eye contact"

There was a snow storm. What else can I say. I never got home.

Pros: "Comodidad en el avión"
Cons: "Hay desorden en la coordinación de los vuelos, atrasos, yo tuve un atraso de 11 horas, otros perdieron conexión, y no es tampoco porque se paga barato, porque los pasajes están caros"
Cons: "The plane was extremely full. No chance of social distancing."
Pros: "Without asking, the crew arranged to have my partner and I sit next to each other. That was such a pleasant touch of service for our trip. Also, the connection was perfectly timed at Chicago flying to Bozeman."
Pros: "First flight I’ve been on where United airlines has adequate leg room for a tall person. A newish airbus plane. I’ve been avoiding United for a number of years cause their planes tend to be very uncomfortable for taller passengers. This is the seat spacing that all airlines should have."
Pros: "Amabilidad de la tripulacion"
Cons: "Podrían dar comida, el viaje no es tan corto. Aire acondicionado demasiado frío, muchos pasajeros solicitaron regular l temperatura, no habían suficientes mantas"
Cons: "Flight was canceled due to United's mismanagement of crews."
Pros: "The attendants were amazing, fun, attentive and provided for a very quick four-hour trip!"
Cons: "Not one thing."
Cons: "No screens in the seats. Food options are the usual limited fair"
Cons: "I’m 6’3, misty in my legs, so the diminishing legroom is a problem. Can’t afford business class either. You should really have entertainment for a 5 hr flight."
Pros: "Extra legroom where definitely worth it!! Crew was pleasant and professional."
Cons: "Waiting area in Phillie airport needed some live. That may not be Frontier’s responsibility..."
Pros: "Seats where comfortable and I had space"
Cons: "Maybe TV's can be added, the crew members weren't so hospitable"
Pros: "Crew was amazing, I love that they had tablets to take the order instead of driving the cart up and down the aisle."
Cons: "Paid fifty dollars for more leg room and it basically felt like basic seats that I’ve flown with such as spirit and American Airlines"
Pros: "Flight on time, crew was friendly and helpful. Boarding was seamless and overall great experience for the price"
Cons: "Not much leg room but expected with budget airlines"
Pros: "Was direct and easy. No issues with boarding or flight"
Cons: "Cramped"
Pros: "The crew more than adequate. Very nice."
Cons: "The two hour delay caused by no one noticing that the tires needed to be changed which, according to your own pilot was listed as part of the needed ground Maintenance. Boarding the plane before they were changed. De-boarding the plane to change the tires. The one and a half hour wait at the gate for your company to approve the plane for flight. This was not a good experience and I do not want to fly frontier again as a result."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I will never fly Frontier airlines again. No matter how inexpensive the tickets are, it is not worth the aggravation. Agents were rude. Flight horribly delayed. Plan ride was uncomfortable. I lost my car rental because they close at 5:30pm. When there own employees say there flights are always delayed that alone said it all."
Pros: "I arrived safely. The crew was very friendly and helped to. All my husband who was scared as this was his first time flying."
Cons: "The agent who checked me in was extremely unprofessional. I felt like she was envious that I was going on a vacation and she had to work. She tried to make my experience a living hell. I personally think she should be fired. She does not enjoy what she is doing. She joyfully told me that it costs $40 to carry my luggage and after I informed her that I saw it online for less she informed me that I should have bought it online. She then stuck me all the way in the last row of the plane. I am 5'9". My husband is 6'2" and over 300 pounds. Those seats have the least leg room. It was pure torture. The flight crew in the back help my poor husband by using humor to help him."
Pros: "Although the flight was delayed half an hour....I was happy with the service and crew."
Cons: "A free juice woulve been nice....but oh well...no one's gonna die of thirst in 2 hours."
Pros: "Boarding was smooth and efficient. Crew was very nice and accommodating."
Cons: "Seats were very uncomfortable and didn't recline which made it tough to sleep. Also complimentary soft drinks and snacks should have been offered. Shouldn't have to pay for them."
Cons: "I was lied to about my connecting flight waiting for my initial delayed flight. Now I’m stranded."
Pros: "Boarded flight quickly, flight left on time, flight was very comfortable, landed very smoothly."
Cons: "There was nothing i didn't like about the flight."
Pros: "Quick easy flight. Friendly staff and fast check in."
Cons: "Charges for everything. Couldn't even get a coke in flight."
Cons: "Need shorter lay overs. The plane was very dirty. And interior is in need of repairs"
Cons: "Flight originally 2 hours delayed. Turned into a 3 hour delay. Crew members were rude and food items were too expensive."
Pros: "Our flight attendants were great. They took care of us doting on our daughter and checking in frequently. We had a great time the plane was clean and overall for the price I feel like we received a great deal"
Cons: "Not that we can think of."
Cons: "This was the most awful experience flying I have ever had. From start to finish it was horrible."
Cons: "Snow and full parking lots put me 30 minutes behind my expected arrival time (still before boarding for the flight). Spirit wouldn't let me proceed to boarding. Then they delayed the flight for over an hour, but I was turned away. Very, very disappointing experience. They gave a flight two and a half days later and can't change my return flight. My 5 day vacation just became a weekend trip, when all they had to do was bend their rules a bit because of the weather. I was one of several people they did this to."
Pros: "Liked the gate escort as my wife required wheelchair assistance"
Cons: "Checking in 1 bag should be complementary at no charge."
Pros: "Quick boarding, smooth ride"
Cons: "No entertainment or food or drink service on a 6 hour flight"
