Over a 3 hour flight. The turbulence was almost imperceptible except for 2 short periods which were not bad and over quickly. The attendants claimed "Safety first" and sat looking at their phones for 3 hours with no drink or snack service. This isn't the first time with Southwest. I thinkit may be there new plan of operation. Oh, and it was June 18, Southwest's Birthday which offered free drinks. NOT.

Over a 3 hour flight. The turbulence was almost imperceptible except for 2 short periods which were not bad and over quickly.

I thinkit may be there new plan of operation. Oh, and it was June 18, Southwest's Birthday which offered free drinks. NOT.

No gluten free snacks. Seats felt worn or bare bones even though it was a new 737 MAX 8.

The Southwest employees (all two of them) were very nice and cheerful despite the fact the line to self-check a bag (simply drop it off) was hundreds of people long. Thank God I arrived early to the airport because I stood in this line for at least an hour. Once on the flight that had been delayed by an hour, we had no Wi-Fi and thus no entertainment. Finally, I hope the investor strong arm tactics against Southwest pay off in a short-term windfall to your C-Suite because the rest of you are screwed. I have been a faithful Southwest customer for 15 years due to everything you just got rid of. I'm flying to Idaho and Washington in October, both places I used to simply book with Southwest without a second thought now with Frontier (Washington) and United (Idaho) because they offer everything the "new" Southwest does but cheaper and at better times, destinations, etc. This really makes me sad...

It is southwest seat was ok. Not the most comfortable seat

Plz don't take away free bags and free seating

It was really nice! I appreciate the gate attendant allowing families with small children to board early on in the process… that was very helpful! The internet service didn’t work with the app I was trying to use even though I paid the $8… other than that it was great! Oh and I should’ve asked for the whole cranberry cocktail can. That cup was about 2 sips…

I liked the boarding process with our loading group and numbers. I disliked that I couldn't guarantee our seats together. I didn't like that the Internet costs $8/ flight, but did love all the inflight options available through their app. I disliked no charging station at my seat for a 3+ hour flight.

It was good. I wish you had gluten free snacks for my husband.

Seat were uncomfortable. Snacks were a bag of hard mix things.

Cramped seats. They are like sitting on benches. No lower back support. Very narrow aisles. Bathrooms are getting smaller. I am 5.4 and weigh 150. Barely fit in the bathroom

We did not realize there wasn't any food apart from a small packet of pretzels - I dropped one and nearly cried.

Our flight was delayed BY 6 hours and the reason it was delayed because they needed a part which made me be worried about the plane. They did not have any TVS. Add the seeds and this was a very long flight. But they also only offered snacks, and even after we waited the 6 hours of being delayed with that, we still have to pay for drinks. If we we wanted one

Just in first class they offer blanquets, for main cabin there was no blanquets even if I would buy them

flight was late resulting in us missing our prepaid hotel shuttle

The website said ear phones were provided in first class. They were not. But a lot of programs had captions

Very bad that in future probably will avoid Alaska Airlines. They had changed the flight schedule without informing us. Paid for check in bags online, got an email confirmation. But during check in they couldn't find it in system, didn't even bother to apologize. Check in agent wasn't helpful, just said if we had to check in bags we had to pay there. Even though email confirmation said we already paid, didn't bother to check and just said do a dispute claim.

Horrible! They broke both of my luggage's and all I got was an I'm sorry and a voucher!

The flight both ways was pleasant and uneventful. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and overall very helpful.

the crew were great. it was by far the NOISIEST flight I have experienced. I was in seat 23 A. engine noise

I enjoyed the fact that it was nonstop from Fort Lauderdale to Portland, Oregon. I’m looking for new flights in April, I hope you will offer the same nonstops.

We got stuck on the tarmac taxiing after landing early so we didn’t get off the plane until an hour later than we thought we would

They took all carry-on luggage from Groups 6 -9 - I was group 5 and waiting in line to board - they made me check my luggage too. That then went to baggage claim and delayed departure from the airport. There was overhead room in my seating area - Delta over reacted. Also, had a gentleman next to me that took up 1/2 my seat.

The flight was delayed and oversold. I volunteered to give up my seat for compensation. Thinking I could get a good night's sleep instead of arriving home at 2 am. It took over an hour to get the new reservation confirmed, three different gate attendants, and two red coats. It took even longer to confirm the overnight hotel, and when I arrived, the line was 45 minutes long, with two people checking in, and at least 15 people slowly, very slowly—no food except frozen convenience food, no coupon for food from airlines. Slept, headed back to the airport, and that flight had an equipment change and a gate change just as they were about to board. It took an additional hour to board as they cleaned the plane from storage.

Comfort Plus seat 11E seemed smaller than prior flights. The movie selection is good. Watched most of the most recent Tron movie. I'll watch the remaining part later as my movie is saved in the Delta Seatback Experience.

Service in business class was not impressive. I ordered coffee with dinner and then watched other people get 2 refills before I got my 1 cup of coffee, and only after I pressed the attendant button overhead. Furthermore, the seats in the forward cabin need maintenance on this 737-800: the upholstery is detaching from the seat frame, at least on the backs of seats 1C, 1D.

this crew didn't care much. bumping carts into seats more times than i care to remember

Easy boarding with an extremely kind attendant. Seats were spacious and we had 3 seats for 2 people so we could stretch out. Comfortable air flow and very attentive and hospital attendants. Bathrooms and food were the only negative. Bathrooms were so small you could hardly get in and close the door. I don’t think an obese person would fit or a person with a movement disability. Food was the trending food for flights, nonexistent. We spent $40 getting sandwich and snack at airport for our 6 hour flught.

Awful. Flight was continuously getting delayed and gates kept changing without any reason. Flight was delayed for more then 3 hours

Seat back monitors and outlets were dead and not working.

The flight was delayed but we got to our final destination.

Always pretty good as far as I see it. Staff was friendly and process was quick to get on and off.

the whole trip was smooth, and as comfortable as flying is these days. flight crew was friendly and very courteous and helpful.

Yet another flight in which beverage and snack service was skipped. Other that that, firmly mediocre. Landed early, to gate late due to congestion at the gates. Airline's fault or airports fault: unknown.

The flights were on time which was great give. It was holiday travel season and there’d been some weather issues. The only complaint and this is every time with United is the terrible seat design. The head rest is not built for comfort and having my neck bent forward for a cross country trip reminded me while I try not to take United flights as a rule.

This was a very average flight. The seat was out of alignment so more uncomfortable than usual. The cabin felt not well maintained. But I safely got where I needed to go.

Smooth flight, especially take off and landing, and great crew on board. Really loved the stroopwaffles!

Our seats were all the way in back of the plane,

My window shade didn’t work. So I missed coming into my city. ☹️

Delayed a day due to snow storm. Was upgraded. That kind of made up for significant delays from FLL to COS with no compensation or acknowledgement.

Good. The wife was not working but then it got resolved.

Luggage took too long go get off plane in Knoxville. Was almost 45 minutes after the flight landed.

Horrible experience, delays after delays. A flight that should arrive 11:50pm just landed past 1 am, and another 30min waiting for the baggage to come out. Very disappointing.

Awful, tons of delays, I got into Chicago multiple hours late meaning I hit the very traffic I tried so desperately to avoid. Just empty apologies from American Airlines text alerts. Trash behavior from a trash airline.

The boarding was as always, the crew tried their best but not enough. The food was a disaster I had dietary restrictions that were half met because the company did not loaded the food for the flight. The entertainment screen was fine but content was not and also they removed the free messaging option from the flight and they charged 30 dollars for that crappy bandwidth. This flight is not worth the cost and the company is going down on quality.

As smooth as you can expect. Some issues with boarding because the previous plane took forever to deplane but overall, a good experience.

Everything about the flight was lovely…We left early, arrived early, cabin crew were efficient and helpful. Flight was easy and most pleasant.

The flight left a bit late, but arrived close to time expected…With the flight being close to full the crew did well serving drinks to all in a very timely fashion. The flight was a pleasure…

Flight delayed 3 times. We were directed to go to a gate across from our gate. The plane wasn't there yet so we had to wait for it to arrive, then deplane everyone and then wait again for the plane to be cleaned. After 45 minuites we were allowed on the plane. The first plane had mechanical issues. The 2nd plane must have had bathroom issues because we did not have any food service whatsoever. No snack or beverage. That made for a long time not to have anything considering that we had just made it to the original gate and we had no time to stop to get food or a drink. Then we didn't want to leave the gate to get food because we wouldn't know how much longer the delay would be. Then the next gate change. Had we been told that the total time would have been aprox 45 min later we would have left to get food and a beverage. We had to wait again for the okay to the pilot to take off so we were on the runway for another 20 min. Overall, we were delayed over 2 hours which felt like 4 hours.

Very disappointed with the crew and the lack of attention given to the passengers. On a 5 hour flight they never offered a snack. One time offered a beverage and didn’t pick up the used cups until the flight was on final approach. The two flight attendants in our section mentioned that they were best friends and compared their pre flight shoes. When paying for first/business class there is a level of service that should be expected. These two spent the majority of the flight in their seats playing on their phones and laughing with each other. Very frustrating!!!

From the moment I walked into the airport in Chicago to the moment I was walking off the plane in Florida I had an unforgettable experience! I was traveling with my 3 month old by myself and everyone just made sure I was taken care of. I couldn’t thank them enough!
