Just crazy with times being pushed and pushed and pushed and gate crew at Philly super rude and unprofessional with many under stress with delays.

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.

For my birthday trip this was my second time ever flying, this trip was the best.

I’ve always loved Southwest. No issues at all. I was flying standby and the gate agent was extremely friendly and helpful. Boarding was smooth and I was able to get a window seat in the emergency exit row. Crew was fantastic! They were very professional and accommodating. We had to divert from our destination due to weather but the flight crew kept everyone at ease and informed us of all pertinent information. Excellent flight

Exceptional crew! Friendly and professional. Pleasant attitude and treated everyone with respect.

I really wish that SW would ask anyone with a carry-on to wait while those who don’t have to access the overhead bins are boarded. Then, reverse that when the plane arrives. Those without the need to clog up the aisle retrieving their bags from the overhead bins wait for those exiting the plane without needing to clog up. The aisle.

We boarded the flight and set two and a half hours on the jetway. Would have been better if they had not boarded us at all. Plane was hot and it was limited ability to access the restrooms or get a drink of water. Very unpleasant experience

The actual flight was great! The 3 hour delay not so much.

Southwest is a garbage airline and the people who fly it are garbage people.

I like the boarding procedure. A bumpy ride, but it couldn't be helped. Please make sure the exit seats are clearly indicated.

This a short easy flight. No food or drink but that was not an issue since we were only in the air for 35 minutes.

Connection flights should be spaced out farther because too close I missed my connection.

Subpar. The seating on the plane is almost unbearable. We are literally touching and/or sitting on each other which is totally unacceptable and shameful. Pilots and crew was very accommodating and friendly.

I love Delta the flight attendants were personable and the flight arrived 1/2 earlier thanks expected. All a plus. The gate agent was a bit flustered but even with that I still had a good experience. Her supervisor assisted me.

two hour delay and the Delta representative on the PA system was unable to understand

The gate attendants and the crew were terrible. Because of high winds, they needed to carry more fuel, so they had to get volunteers to take the next flight at 6 am the next day. They did a terrible job of it - our flight ended up taking off just under 3 hours of the scheduled time. I hope to never fly Delta again.

Very good flight crew and very nice people staff were incredible especially the gate agent

The flight was delayed for about 2 hrs. Other than it, it was good.

My issue was with TSA agents for delta airlines. My luggage got flagged. The agent was going thru another persons first. He took 20 min to go thru hers. I asked them to bring mine closer so I could sit down . They said you can go sit it will be fine. I said I am supposed to keep my eyes on my bags at all times. The agent was meticulously unwrapping 2 gifts that the lady had and then tried to re warp it. He was trying to be kind i get it but 20 min for me to stand watching him do that was ridiculous. It was 6 am and there were a ton of travelers. Mine was flagged for some air packed tea that I bought in Turkey. My previous delta flight and 2 others before didn’t flag it. Consistency would be nice. Also on the flight the window shades were down for take off and landing - I thought that was very odd I thought they had to remain open for take off and landing.

My flight consistently said it was on time and the plane didn’t arrive until after 30 minutes after take off and nothing was announced to passengers

Stored my cloth purse under seat in front off me as instructed. When I retrieved it, half of it was soaked, along with everything inside it. I don’t really know how that could have been prevented because the area did not look wet, but I was not happy about it.

It was easy to board, and the staff was friendly and helpful. What could have been better is that I shouldn't have to pay extra for a seat that doesn't recline.

Like the fact that the boarding was expedited. But the delay and chaos around the onboarding was not appreciated.

It was a good experience, unfortunately my checked baggages were come late and not arrived on time.

The flight crew were very helpful. The seats were very close together. There was barely room to sit without touching the person next to you.

newer aircraft, ability to connect my headset via blue tooth for entertainment.

My husband and I recently had an unfortunate experience with Lufthansa. At the Philadelphia International airport, the ground staff refused to board us because we didn’t have a current visa stamped on our passports for Frankfurt. We completely understand that this was our mistake. we should have double-checked the visa requirements before our trip. However, the issue that upset us most was how the situation was handled by the staff. They told us they would mark it as “boarding denied due to visa issue”, but instead they recorded it as “no show”. Because of that incorrect entry, our return flight was automatically cancelled as well, which caused additional stress and expense. Mistakes can happen, but we expected more transparency and accuracy from a reputed airline like Lufthansa. It would have made a big difference if the staff had been more careful and considerate in documenting the situation correctly.

Everything was good, except the seats in economy were so close together, you could barely get out when the seat in front of your was reclined. If the airlines keep jamming in more and more seats, it will become intolerable. I will look for another airline that considers customer comfort and does not keep adding more rows of seats for more profit.

Flight attendant moved my bag without notifying me and was rude to me when I asked him about it. There was no reason to move it.

Flight was on time, crew were excellent. For some reason our originally selected seats were changed. We had to re-choose our seats when we checked in online and options were limited. One of our two checked bags we placed on the wrong carousel. It was only be shear luck that I saw it. That cost us 20 minutes of wasted time. So much for the “priority” tags. They are meaningless, and have been ever since they were implemented. I wish you would do the save some money and stop using them.

The flight was delayed several times as they didn't have pilots. Then we were boarded on the plane and again waited on the tarmac for over 30-40 minutes waiting for pilots to board. The in flight entertainment was confusing at best on how to use it. It took multiple attempts to get wifi to connect and by the time it worked the flight was almost over.

It was a late flight; crew was invisible. Zero air flow - the tiny plane was a sauna; the left the lights on for 1/2 of the flight; there was no water. Never again.

What an amazing plane! We flew a 787 to Miami. Although the Internet was not functioning, it was a wonderful flight.

Plane was in good shape, multiple passes from the drink cart, and one of the smoothest flights I've had in a while.

After lack of help in Philadelpha made us late to board our flight to akansas City, our flight to Kansas City was very good. And the flight attendants were also very good. The only thing that sucked was problems with assistance in Philadelphia caused our bags not to arrive.

Legroom was decent, but the seat comfort was horrible; I believe the seat cushions have lost their cushion. I was uncomfortable and had back pain throughout the nearly five-hour flight. WiFi did not work despite my attempts to get it up and running. This was very frustrating as passengers all around me were streaming football games, movies, and accessing email and text messages. One flight attendant suggested it was my seat, but that makes no sense, given WiFi doesn't work that way. On another note, I rarely have a good experience with aainflight.com.

Id like for them to not have lost my bag. And maybe be a little nicer to me, given the fact they lost my bag.

Hey as long as you bring me back to earth in one piece I’m good! Otherwise great flight smooth take off and landing good staff Only thing is the staff at the back of the aircraft chatters a lot it’s annoying at times but I’ll let that go because they are very sweet overall.

The airline company should manage their crew for the plane on better schedule so people don’t have to wait in the plane. And this flight that I had had no snacks offered, and if you would like a water, you had to come see somebody and ask for. If airline would let people know that they are no longer providing or offering any food. At least people could bring their own if they wish.

Departure more than an hour later. Conexion/waiting time at the airport was more than 7 hours :(

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.

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

Great flight, no problems. I wish they would increase the checked bag weight limit. Packing was very stressful.

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent Frontier Airlines flight. I was charged $99 at the gate because my bag was said to be too large, yet once onboard there was no available overhead bin space, and I was required to place the bag under the seat in front of me anyway. This made the charge feel unnecessary and unfair. Additionally, before the flight even took off, I was asked to move from the seat I paid for into a middle seat so another passenger and her cat could have my seat to themselves. I was not offered compensation or an explanation for being moved from a paid seat. Between the unexpected bag fee and being forced to give up my seat, this experience fell well below acceptable customer service standards. I would appreciate a review of this situation and appropriate compensation.

Terrible. Flight cancelled with no reasoning and no flights to rebook. Employees were useless and did nothing to help. Did not even know where to retrieve luggage from the cancelled flight. Flyers beware.

sluggish boarding and arrival procedures, fake nice flight attendants, and lots of delays.

You get what you pay for nothing essentially but a hard uncomfortable seat that doesn’t recline and kids screaming all around you and chaotic boarding and limited check bag weight allowance when compared to other airlines

Not very good. Paid in excess of $400 for assigned seating for my family and that was not provided. I want that money back.

Check in at Philadelphia international was absolutely terrible! I fly 2 to 3 times a month and avoid frontier at all cost and will never fly Frontier again! The night before travel, I tried checking in however, the app was giving me an error, so I went to the desktop, which instructed you that you need to use the app. The next day I presented at the check-in gate after trying at least a half dozen times prior to getting into the airport and continuing to getting the error in the app. I actually had rebooted my phone numerous times and reinstall the app just in case. My phone is only one generation older than the current model. It has no problems completing a frontier flight purchase or any other app issues. There was only three frontier employees working at check-in and a huge line while I was in line I continued to try and check in via the app. As I approach the desk, I was dreading dealing with the agent. He was extremely unprofessional, anti-semantic & very ignorant, and mean to the people in front of me, as well as the people who ended up being behind me. He literally told people “Man I don’t care bout y’all” in his native dialect! Maintaining my composure I approached and explained the situation. To which he replied, you’re gonna have to pay then! I don’t understand. It’s an issue with their app not allowing me to check in! Not my issue! He told me if I pay cash it would be $15, $25 if I pay credit card. I don’t understand a $10 difference for paying with a credit card? I am completely cashless so I continued to try using the app to avoid the $25 fee, Which I still don’t believe that I should be responsible for since it was Frontier’s technical issue!!! I continued to check in via the app a couple more times after he verified I was doing everything right he proceeded to continue to belittle the people behind me. Yelling at them saying I don’t care about you people! I cannot believe that this is the way that businesses would treat its customers! Unfortunately, the black mail with dreadlocks did not have a name tag all he had was a frontier sweater on! For the $25 fee that I ended up getting charged on my credit card. I should’ve just booked originally with Spirit or any other carrier! I have no problem paying fees that I should be responsible for, but when it’s due to a technical failure of a company, the customer should not be responsible for it! I cannot believe that it’s not frontier going out of business!

terrible cascading delays and unhelpful customer service. uncomfortable plane. crew was great, however!
