A 6hr delay is going to put a damper on all reviews. It was almost impossible to get into the Delta club also. Zero conveyance. I could not use my status for anything. Makes me wonder why am I loyal to delta?

I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!

Great overall experience and use of the Delta One lounge was amazing!

I used by Skymiles to upgrade to First so that I could comfortably work using my laptop. But WiFi was intermittent and unavailable for long periods. I feel like I wasted 70,000 miles :(

Great as one can be for a one connection 6 hour flight

Packed flight and not sure why dinner service would start at midnight while passengers we’re trying to sleep

The gate attendant was not clear w message on flight delays.

Chairs don’t recline and the ones that do recline, barely do recline. It was most uncomfortable flight i ever been on.

Good but not on par when compared with foreign flag carriers.

Good service but not on par when compared to foreign flag carriers.

Tiny seat made for midgets. You can’t put a normal size human in such a tiny seat for 8 god damn hours! Hot plane, no air. Lost bags at Rome airport for 8 hours, lucky to have found them. Horrible flying experience, United Airlines should be embarrassed!

The issue is the flight is delayed, which causes me Missing the connecting flight by 3 mins. Remember the connecting flight is a US codeshare flight so UA should be able to inform the operating airline about the delay.

Seats are made for children. An 8 hour flight with tiny seats is more like a cattle car. Lost bags at Rome airport caused a 7 hour delay.

We sat on the tarmac in Denver for over 30 minutes because a plane was in our gate. The pilot kept saying it will just be 5 minutes or less. However, we sat for over 30 minutes. Experiences like this make customers not trust what the pilot is saying.

Waited on tarmac for approximately 15-25 minutes before taking off. When landing, the time it took to taxi to our gate was the also 15-25 minutes.

Waited on tarmac to take off for approximately 15-25 minutes. When landing, the taxi to our gate took a similar amount of time. This happened on both of my United flights.

The plane was so old. I paid a ridiculous amount to fly business and there was no internet for six hours! This can't be happening in 2026 and especially in cross country flights where there are a high volume of business travelers.

Loved the easy process to board and the experience overall was smooth

Why wasn't this flight departure scheduled eith another crew so that it could leave on time? When we arrived in Denver we had so little time between flights we had run to the connecting flight. We should received some credit for the inconvenience.

My flight was 3 hours late, which caused me to miss my connection in Denver. Further, this connecting flight was then Later canceled. This required me to stay another night an hour and a half away, and rent the rental car for an additional Night. I am still waiting for United Airlines to reimburse me for the inconvenience and Expense of having to extend my rental Car for An additional Day. See attached receipt. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0f5ns2AaeIr7w6t_uH1qfPBUg

Terrible. We needed to change return flights due to an incoming hurricane. They would not refund our return flight.

The employees at Sioux Falls airport were friendly and helpful. As a veteran/retired military Allegiant allows two checked bags, one carry on bag and a seat on the plane all at no cost. The flight crew and pilots were friendly and very competent.

The check-in and flight crew employees are excellent. The flight was good and the seats were adequate.

The flights to and from Cincinnati were great at being on time for both, departures and arrivals. The planes could use some updating.

It was a dismal experience. The flight was delayed for 4 hours, and we spent hours in the plane, without air, during the summer. We were not provided with water, and the medical assistance was inadequate when it arose.

The landing the pilot was very smooth. The flight attendant was kind of rude.The boarding the plane in punta Gorda was not great made us wait out in the heat 😞

My exit seat was very comfortable Coffee was to be purchased but sodas free 😏

The worst flying experience ever 3 delays. No accommodations. Had to deboard the plane after being delayed.

Great seat space. However food and drink prices outrageous. Jabbing to pay for a carry on bag or stuck paying at the gate too much.

desk agent in sioux falls is rough .needs customer courtesy training

Seats are getting smaller and smaller. In flight movies are poor compared to other airlines. Food is mediocre.

There was a 4 hour delay, some of which was attributed to ATC weather but started with maintenance and then later also log books. Though the flight went far beyond the scheduled time, there were no accommodations such as additional meal options or anything else.

My flight left Honolulu EIGHT hours late due to lack of flight crew. This was the second time in 2026. The first class staff were excellent ... personable and friendly. The food was okay ...

The food in first class has taken a big downturn

Delay for 1 hour due to maintenance issue and late boarding

Had issues (application error) selecting my seat before checking in. Return Flight was delayed over 2 hours. Sat on the tarmac for 20 mins after landing Overall, not good of an experience compared to the times I have flown AA. Not sure I’m coming back.

Im reviewing a flight that hasn’t even taken off because it’s been delayed for almost 5 hours. Amazing. Great time. No vouchers. Nothing. Thanks.

WiFi broken, very long wait for valet bags, and the typical long wait at O'Hare on a thursday to get clearance to take off and then again long taxi and wait for the gate.

I had a carry on and a personal bag. I put my personal item under my seat and on way to the seat I put my bag up. I usually close my eyes and rest as I was on call for last 36 hours. I heard very loud announcements that someone needs to identify their bag. Pretty sure it was not mine until the hostess pointed out my jacket details attached to the bag. I asked why she got my bag out. I got berated and did not want to create a scene. But this person needs to be talked to.

Other than being delayed 5.5 hours and having to get a hotel because I missed my connecting flight, it was an okay flight. No in-flight Wi-Fi or entertainment.

The flight was cancelled without compensation on hotel lodging near MSP. We had to buy tickets from another airlines to fly home.

My seat was comfortable and I had plenty of leg room.

Boarding and crew were great, but seats are terribly uncomfortable. No food or entertainment options.

Everything went very smoothly! Thanks for a great first experience flying with small children!

Crew members great. Everything else a 0! Got on plane at 530am. Got de boarded for mechanical issue. Supposed to leave by 830 am. Zero communication from gate agents. Then supposed to leave by 230pm. Then delayed till 330pm. Still zero communication with gate agents. All they would say is if you have an issue call the 1800 number. You call and sit on hold minimum 45 minutes for zero answer. Finally board at 345pm didn’t take off till after 4pm! Sat in airport for 11 hours with 4 adults and 3 kids. Finally offered a $100 (we are sorry) voucher for next trip. Missed whole day in Florida had to change reservations in Florida! Absolute joke of an airline! And I usually really like sun country.

Booked through Kayak for $236. They canceled the flight unknown to me; retaining $100 for canceling it. Found out when I went to check in. Rebooked the same flight for $400. Incredibly disappointed. The Sun Country part was as to be expected. Crowded, no food, no arm room but got me where I wanted to go.

3 seperate extremely rude unhelpful staff. Delayed flight. Lost my bag

Sat between 2 big men. I was uncomfortable. Flight was delayed twice. About 2 hours altogether.

It was a good experience. I do wish the seats were roomier. Also, I did not like being charged for my carry on bag

Exceptional take off and landing in snow and wind…thank you to the well skilled pilots!
