Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026
If connecting in Denver, leave yourself ample time to collect checked bags, go through US customs, then re-check bags and go through security again before going to the connecting flight's gate.
BalaFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2025
The immigration happened in Houston and you recheck bags to final destination. Be careful about the transit time
MichaelFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2025
Get to the airport early! It was a Saturday and the airport was very chaotic, lots of gate changes, etc. They have a VIP Lounge there you can pay for, if you have the time and inclination, it might be worth it ($90 US for 2 people), it is quiet with food and drink.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2024
Airport in Pvr is so crowded always. Lounge access is the way to go!
JanFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2024
Get to airport early. Security takes awhile in PV
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Dec 2023
The airport is a busy airport. You should at least give 2 1/2 hours before your flight for your comfort.

During holidays get to the airport with enough time to walk, United gates are far from checkpoint.

Very terrible/ never will I fly this airline again. Poor service in the plane. They cancelled a flight without booking another. All the way around it was too awful.

Very terrible/ never will I fly this airline again. Poor service in the plane. They cancelled a flight without booking another. All the way around it was too awful.

No healthy food choices. There was no in flight entertainment .

I was disheartened that AlaskaAir would not accept my service dog and not only was I not able to have him on my lap for my anxiety but they charged $100 and made me keep him in a carrier - zippered up so not even his head was exposed. This is a disservice to people with disabilities and will never fly with this airline again.

accommodating myself, my dog and crate when the flight was delayed multiple times

Always excellent. Love that this airline never charges for carry on luggage and the flight attendants always with a great attitude. Thank you Alaska Airlines 😃

everything was good but due to some sort of issue with the alaska airlines app we were not able to verify our passport info, event thought we uploaded all the info online at home before we left for our trip. Upon arrival at the airport LAX for departure we were told we still had to check in with the desk and this put as well behind the amount of time needed to safely make our departure flight. This was a major inconvience and a big stress on our family. We almost missed our flight.

Seats were not allocated until we arrived at the boarding gate, My children were split up and sat seperatley to both us parents. 1 a 13 year old girl.

If you change a gate number while customer is at the airport, you should let your customer know. You also assigned my seat to someone else, and again, never notified me about that. Your flight attendant seemed annoyed at having to find me another seat. No apologies for AA doing any changes.

Our flights were delayed by almost three hours, which threw a wrench in my plans.

It was good. Friendly and helpful staff and the flight on time.

It was great and arrived home a little sooner than expected which is nice.

I fly out every other weekend and this is the 4th time my flight has been delayed at Southwest. I will be flying out twice a month on average for the next 6-7 months. If this is your average ‘on time’ I’ll probably be flying another airline.

WiFi was inoperable - second in four recent Southwest flights where that was true. I need WiFi for work and if Southwest cannot provide, I’ll stop using it

Rough weather so no snacks or drinks but maybe you could change snacks to popcorn or something new. Rotate options.

Why does southwest often change gates and load late? Multiple flights recently have been waiting on crew to arrive or sometimes even the plane itself. There were a lot of people expressing the same frustrations as us about constantly loading late - but at least arrival times weren't too far off..

Great plane, great attendants,great flight crew,on time. Wonderful flight home..

First time I’ve ever missed a flight and it was an international flight.. Southwest put me on the next flight and it was the best experience possible.

Three delays that got us home hours later than expected.

Everything about our flight was good except for the boarding experience in Mexico. From checking in to boarding was a disaster for us even though our seats wasn't bad.

I paid $50 for early bird checkin and it was a jungle boarding process.

Flew in first class. It received service and attention that would be considered poor even by economy standards.

The internet was spotty and I was unable to watch any movies on my iPad; the flight was fine otherwise

The plane was very warm the entire time, despite my vents being open. Additionally, we didn't have internet on our personal devices

Flight was suspended mid air for over 1 hour and it was late

Very convenient considering that is a non-stop flight, but the Aeromexico still has old model planes, so the entertainment was very poor and the space for carry-on luggage was very limited.

Flight from MEX to ATL had to divert to Tampa. When we got off the plane, there were non directions on what to do. Nearly 30 minutes just standing around. Finally told to go through security with no boarding passes, and turned away. Then told to to go back. Took forever to leave Tampa for ATL. Missed my connection to Harrisburg.

Every single flight that we got on was delayed by several hours or more. I honestly didn’t think we would get out of Atlanta because our flight was supposed to leave at 7:59 and it kept getting kicked back further and further. Delta stands for Don’t Ever Leave The Airport!

The crew was amazing; Von, Vera and Guadalupe were very friendly and attentive throughout the entire flight. They were friendly and welcoming to everyone. A solid and dedicated team for sure!

The checkpoint hornets are always looking fhrough Americans' luggage keeping what they deem impassible! Grrrrr!

Three adults, three children. They did not give us seats together. Two seats together, in row 23, one in 13, one in 14, one in 10, and one in 17. When we got on the plane, the crew tried to ask people to move but basically threw up their hands. One person moved so we had two pairs of seats together. The 1.5 year old sat on a parent's lap (despite having paid for his own seat).

The rear seat on the second leg should be illegal. There’s no way you should make somebody sit that close to the washroom. Very awkward.

Lounges are packed and very poor, food is really bad, for business class in an airline is well below expectations

Mean flight attendant. I wanted to reuse my plastic cup, but he (Matthew) said he can't for safety. I then said "I don't want water then" and he poured me a glass. I hope Matthew gets herpes and spends the rest of his life poor, lonely, and homeless.

I just think it’s unfortunate that Airlines have completely abandoned the idea of serving any kind of decent or even real food on flights, not even on a four hour flight!? Those days are gone, I guess.

Both flights delayed. 2nd flight over 3 hours late mechanical issues

Flight was delayed 45 minutes because originating flight was coming from Newark. No complimentary snacks were offered on this 5+ hour flight. No screens for the flight, but movies offered if you had already downloaded the United app (which I hadn't on my ipad). No USB ports, only a flimsy plug-in port near the bottom of the seat that was hard to see and kept coming unplugged.

Flight left on time. Boarding was easy. Arrived to EWR 30 mins early. Luggage was deplaned in good time. Overall a very good experience.

I liked the exit row seat. Hated the distance between gates in Houston.

Delayed flights. Missed connections. Inadequate rebooking timeframes. Incompetent customer service agents. Rather than a 70 minute flight home, I had to drive for 5 hours, arriving home at 4am — epically bad experience with United that I won’t soon forget.

Boarding process is never streamlined in PVR. You get a notice of Boarding 10 minutes before actual boarding in PVR when you could've stayed at a table or lounge. They allow too many people to put small items in first class overhead bins and coach class to use the first class bathroom. I'm sitting there having to go to the bathroom badly, and all these people kept coming up from coach, and the flight attendants didn't say anything to them. The Houston to ELP experience was very stressful and not handled professionally whatsoever - again.

Didn't make it back on American Airlines due to a maintenance issue. The communication and updates were terrible. I ended up returning on Aero Mexico which had a much nicer aircraft with a large entertainment screen with movies and shows AND they had a nice inflight meal. That was a treat after being delayed 26 hours! I think some additional flight miles, or something should be offered for that long of a delay ---it was not pleasant at all---very physical and emotional experience.

A chaotic and uncomfortable experience from start to finish. The boarding process was a disaster; despite group numbers, it was a free-for-all that the staff failed to manage (especially after group 5). Once on board, the "entertainment" was non-existent. There are no seatback screens, and the mobile app selection is incredibly thin. The hardware is severely dated. My seat had zero cushioning left—it felt like sitting on a hard board for the entire flight—and the legroom was cramped. To make matters worse, the bathroom was repulsive, with toilet paper, soiled paper towels and liquid/pee all over the floor. When I did interact with the crew, they provided the absolute bare minimum and made me feel like an inconvenience for asking for anything. Avoid this flight if you can.

We changed our flight because of weather. Unfortunately we were on hold for over an hour, but since we were 5 people who all booked individually, we felt more comfortable doing it with an agent. It all worked out in the end.

The app doesn't update with a gate number even when you are on the plane. The in flight food is only snacks. The charging ports on the seats are old, only for USB A when most devices today use USB C. This should be made known to customers.

Flight from CHI to PVD was delayed by over 20 hours.

Lack of communication with customers through the delays and poor audio during boarding. No assistance to serve a number of customers with limited time between connecting flights. Lack of empathy from staff. Rebooked on a flight that seemed solely for purposes of taking those that missed their connection the night before. The hostess at the gate arrived late and never expressed any form of compassion or friendliness toward passengers. Just get them on board, so I can go in with my life. Will never fly AA again.

Couldn’t use car seat due to lack of window seats available was disappointing

Best price with timings that suited us. The flight was punctual.

The flight from Guadalajara to Dallas had mechanical issues, and was delayed every half hour for 4 hours until we were told to rebook. As it was during the busy holiday break, most flights were fully booked and travel that day was unavailable. The only saving grace for American Airlines was their ticketing staff that maintained their composure and did their best to accommodate all the disappointed and frustrated passengers.

My check in experience was horrible. When checking in online, my husband got a boarding pass, I did not. We were not able to check our bags online. I also did not get TSA pre check which I have.
