Everything was pretty good. I would like to have more drinks (water) during four hours of the flight.

This flight was the flight we missed due to deltas delay at our first airport going TO Atlanta.

Wi-fi was out for the whole flight. I pay a premium to fly Delta because it has wifi and because it was out I didn’t get to work on anything I wanted to. I’ll have to make it up later this week by spending less time with my family.

I enjoyed the whole flight and the crew was amazing i dont usually fly delta

Very nice the whole crew was amazing and very professional. I had an offer for a drink it was handled great and amazing crew and nice flight.

I just wish the boarding process/time to take off after boarding was quicker and more efficient. I also wish that the overhead luggage was managed better. almost every time i fly there is no space for carry ons and they are either checked or I end up having to store it several rows back from my seat. Delta should not offer carryons for all customers if there is not actually space for everyone

Boarding was delayed by an hour and then we proceeded to sit on the tarmac for another 30-40 minutes. No clear explanation was ever given and the delay caused me to miss my connecting flight home. Was forced to stay the night in the connecting city which impacted my following workday and cause personal issues at home as well.

I didn't like like much about my experience with Delta. I had to spend the entire day at the airport due to some mechanical issues. My flight was supposed to leave at 8:30am didn't leave until 6pm. Horrible experience.

Bad. Flight was delayed due to maintenance issue with Delta. Seats were small, no service, bag got broken on initial flight. Cramped and hot. Sitting inside with no ac.

Flight attendent didn't let me sit in the empty window seat literally next to me. Doors had closed already so I moved over. She came over, asked for my ticket and made me switch back to the middle. The man on the aisle and I were right on top of each other. Seemed like a real power trip for no reason at all.

It was good flight was smooth, little cold on the plane but other wise good.

I need to note that this flight experience was generally fine but the boarding situation was absolutely a mess and there wasn’t any actual priority boarding. I rated the experience poorly because I’m am genuinely so frustrated with the crew on United taking the baggage space in first class. This flight it didn’t happen, but the last few flights (when I ironically don’t get an opportunity to provide feedback) have been spoiled because upon entering the first class cabin as one of the first few seated passengers, the overhead bins are full and ‘crew’’ tags are on the bags of those taking space. I don’t intend to infer some sort of a class or caste system but it’s absolutely ridiculous that the crew takes the overhead storage above and beyond their most loyal and lucrative customers. They should not even have economy space IMO. And I’ve gotten grief when I’ve noted to the crew the ridiculousness of the notion that the crew (who are the last off the plane) should have priority over flyers who pay. I hope you find a way to convey this message to United because it’s happening with increasing frequency and I intend to find a way to expose the specific crew members who are doing this on a flight by flight basis. (And I have a day job)

Great flight and crew. Need more legroom and DO NOT allow seats to recline.

Flight and crew were great. Need more legroom and do not allow seats to recline.

Bathrooms broken, Wifi not working, Direct TV stuck in a United credit card loop for whole flight

We arrived to Chicago nearly 30 minutes early, which was great, but then was on the ground for over an hour because the gate was not available. The issue I had was the pilot estimation was frustrating. First he said he was informed it would be 20 minutes but he said "it will probably be more like 10 minutes". After 30 minutes he came back on the comm and said it would be another 10 minutes, maybe 20. I understand he was only giving estimates but he also layered in his own gut feel. We were never told why we didn't have a gate even after our scheduled entry.

Just sat on the run way after we arrived early

New Max 10, first class seats have been shrunk. End of a 20 hour journey, it was United not Lufthansa, just glad to get home

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

Cabin staff were very disengaged, spoke with no eye contact, dismissive. Disappointing compared to my United experiences.

awful delay, awful communication, zero updates throughout the experience of a giant delay

It was decent, there was no WiFi on the flight but the FA’s gave everyone a warning once we boarded the plane. Unfortunately it didn't give me enough time to download my entertainment content.

On Time. AA is late due to maintenance all the time.

Seats were very tight for a 17 hour flight. Baby cried for 15 out of 17 hours.

Flight attendant super rude demanding I remove my carry on baggage from overhead and place under seat. I stated I am an ADA passenger and need the leg room as the seats are very tight. That’s why I boarded early for the extra time to get situated. She said, we need the space. I replied “How can that be as only a few passengers have boarded so far? I am executive platinum status so I understand the rules and you are discriminating against ADA federal law. Please stop”. Her answer… then you should find another flight! Not ok. Addressed with senior flight attendant. So unprofessional and discriminatory.

Perfect from check in at the airport to the flight all staff were very friendly The plane was nice and clean and modern Because I’m here in the UK to visit my Dad who’s critically ill the details of me getting here were very important and nice to see staff being pleasant and professional

Both departure and return flights had mechanical delays. Their planes are antiquated resulting in a two hour flight taking almost four hours to complete.

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!
