No wifi, seems to be very common with Southwest currently. Everything else was normal.

Poor customer service, no accommodation for passengers when the flight was delayed over 5 hours.

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

I flew twice this week on Southwest, was delayed over 2 hours both ways. From Pittsburgh to Chicago it was due to weather but the gate agents, pilot etc were great at updating everyone. Today from Midway to Pittsburgh the plane had come from an international location, kept getting delayed, no information was given until we were delayed for the third time. It was ridiculous, whoever scheduled that plane to fly to Pittsburgh after didn’t consider a lot of things.

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 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.

The crew was very nice and respectful and everything went well.

Great! Although the flight was about 40 minutes delayed, the crew did a good job getting everything boarded quickly and efficiently.

Having a direct flight between Pittsburgh and Austin makes traveling so easy.

I would love it if Alaska Airlines brought back the complimentary beverage service on short flights

the flight was fine, But I paid extra for an Aisle seat both planes and did not get what I paid for when you pay an extra almost $80 and do not get the desired seats it was frustrating I don't fly much because of my legs need more room. thank you for your attention to this

Our seat assignments were mysteriously changed such that our boarding was delayed when they tried to fix it, but to no avail. It took more than 15 min. before we sat down. Then the catering delayed our plane for 35 min.

Boarding was smooth, the crew was kind and friendly, and even though we were in the Saver class, the seats were generous enough for my daughter to nap on me and I had enough room to recline and sleep for our overnight flight. If I had stayed awake I might have quibbled with the lack of a true meal, but the snacks worked for me and when my daughter was hungry (as she did NOT sleep), the crew took care of her. There was room for all of our bags on a very full flight, which was nice. It has been awhile since I haven’t checked a bag, so I had worried.

They offer the only direct flight from Seattle to Pittsburgh.

We flew to Seattle on 7/21, right after the company wide problems the day before. We were delayed 3 hours but understood. We were grateful it wasn’t canceled. As a larger, disabled person, my son booked us in 1st class, row 1. That was fine. My problem occurred while trying to use the restroom. I had to back in and barely had room to move. I started into a silent panic attack where my breathing was affected. I made it back to my seat, shaken. I understand space is limited but something needs to be done. This was on the trip out. The return trip had 4-5 disabled passengers. I watched them struggle. This plane’s restroom was a “little “ bigger. It was a little easier compared to the first plane. That’s my opinion! The crews were fantastic on both flights!

Both legs of the trip were delayed about an hour. Planes were new, liked the WiFi availability and entertainment available. Crew was very good. People were happy and helpful. Liked the pilots - they provided updates throughout the flights. Snacks were underwhelming. Drinks were good! Like the smaller sodas and they actually came through the cabin 2x which was great. In Seattle airport the construction caused much confusion for Alaska. Process of printing own tags, etc was chaotic for people who didn’t check in online prior to arrival which in turn caused issues for those who did. Plus airport gates were too small for the number of people flying.

Alaska Airlines fraudulently listed this as a direct flight to Pittsburgh. We landed in Cleveland, waited an hour, then flew to PIT. No one was told about this. When I called and spoke with Alaskan Airways customer care, they were extremely unhelpful and lied about the direct flight. I have my receipt showing a direct flight. I am in the process of working with my credit card because Alaskan Airlines misrepresented the sale/service. I will never do business with Alaskan Airlines again.

Pretty good. There was a little bit of waiting for an assigned seat that was a bit nerve wracking but the people working there were very reassuring and I eventually got to board the plane after they coordinated which seat I would be in

The check-in process in Seattle was chaotic, disorganized. Many kiosks were out of paper, but paper was needed for a baggage tag, and we weren't allowed to get into line until we had one. However, the kiosk doesn't just tell you it's out of paper, it just says that function isn't available. However, the flight itself was right on time, just like our flight from Pittsburgh out to Seattle, which we deeply appreciated.

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

Only beverages were offered to first class and I thought the flight attendant could have also served the Delta Comfort as well instead of sitting down and staring at her phone and walking past all of us to the back of the plane to charge her phone more. There was a complete lack of turbulence and was safe enough for flights attendant to walk around in the front of the plane, collect trash and serve a few people water and turn off the seat belt light. Also didn’t enforce people putting their seats into the upright position and allowed two passengers to remain reclined during landing. They seemed out to lunch completely. Usually my experience on Delta is much better.

Bus to plane was delayed for no apparent reason and our luggage was still on the belt when they shut it off. Took about 20 minutes to turn it back on to get our luggage.

I haven’t flown economy in over 20 years but it was not bad. Room by my feet for my bag and seat was roomy enough. Surprised in a good way.

Delayed. Hot. Passenger next to me was so large I couldn’t move.

Second flight in a row where the entertainment system is broken. 5 hour long flight with no entertainment and flight attendants did not seem interested in resolving the matter. Very shocked to be treated this poorly considering I paid for a first class experience and have Diamond Medallion status.

The service from the flight attendants were of supreme quality. They greeted and treated everyone with a wide smile. This is totally absent nowadays. Kudos to them!!!!

I noticed that the planes seem to be outdated. There was no entertainment per se. Also, the waiting area did not have any working electrical outlets

My seat had no padding, it was literally plywood with a plastic cover. I could not change seats on my 10 hour flight. My excitement for this trip helped me deal with the pain.

Made the Atlanta to Pittsburgh trip many times, with Delta no issues

United didn’t even try to hold the flight for me. They knew I had a tight connection and when I arrived at the gate less than 10 mins after final boarding the flight had already gone. The gate agent wasn’t even notified that I was on my way. She was told I wasn’t at the airport

Everything went well except the turbulence what no one have a control of but pilot and crew handled very good!

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.

We had a 90 minute delay due to equipment failure that was detected just before we took off. United rebooked my connecting flight.

Dinner was okay but the breakfast was not eatable on the flight San Francisco to Zurich.

This flight was delayed multiple times and eventually canceled around 2-3ish. Original take off time was around 10:30am. By 3, there were no other options out of Houston, so stuck in Houston for from 3pm - 11am the next day.

Ok so apparently the new policy on United Airlines is that customers in the main cabin should NEVER be served more than once and besides picking up trash there should NEVER be another interaction with the customer for any reason.

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

The flight was on time and the landing was very smooth. The crew and flight attendants were all very friendly and professional.

Message about flight cancelation was received late due to being in the air. No explanation, just canceled and booked on morning flight. We had to stay in the airport overnight because there was no transportation offered to get to the hotel that AA had available. Actual inflight was fine.

Bag drop was very disorganized in Miami. All main cabin passengers were shunted to just a few lanes and they had an equal number of lanes for first class passengers but there was nobody on those lines. They did nothing to bring the main cab and passengers over to the open lines and they just had employees standing there and doing nothing

Above and beyond effort from this crew in a tough situation. So helpful and understanding. Thank you!

Staff at the gate were incredibly rude, hostile and threatening. Never fly American Airlines.

Great - quick boarding and landed early with an available gate.

The flight was delayed till next day ! They kept delaying every 30 minutes then after 3 hours they delayed it till next day. We kept waiting in line standing more than an hour to get the hotel and meal vouchers. There was no communication at all. Everything was bad

The flight was great but board was a nightmare. The gate was changed 4 times during the layover period

I don’t think the flight attendants are happy. They do not seem to be friendly or welcoming.
