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.

The flight was delayed and passengers were told that they will miss connections as flight may get 40-55 min late.

The flight from Atlanta to Tallahassee was delayed, not such a big deal because it arrived almost the same original time. Most of my complaint is that one of the boarding agents and one of the flight attendants seemed bothered and were not very friendly.

Be on time. No issues with weather etc. entirely on airline.

Worst boarding experience, flight extremely delayed causing super tight connect and deplaning was a disaster as ppl were pushing and shoving to get off. Then after flying over 8 hours had to get off a job to next flight. Limited beverage service in Business class (water or white wine) no food. The plane was very cold (temperature) so uncomfortable

Stored my cloth purse under seat in front off me as instructed. When I retrieved it, half of it was soaked, along with everything inside it. I don’t really know how that could have been prevented because the area did not look wet, but I was not happy about it.

Seats needs to be wirer and food is very poor

Seats are uncomfortable and left me in pain in my tailbone area. I got about one hour of sleep.

Phx - ORD was nice 737 with starlink and the ORD - grr was ancient bare bones airbus with not even a power port lol

No white linens in premium economy . Salad was literally frozen. Food was terrible. No snacks. Ran out of food. I asked a flight attendant for snack on hour 8!of 16 hour flight and she said they don’t offer snacks and called me crazy for not having my own snacks for the flight.

It was easy to board, and the staff was friendly and helpful. What could have been better is that I shouldn't have to pay extra for a seat that doesn't recline.

Was on the plane sitting longer than the actual flight in air was, boarded at 5:45p and didn't take off until 6:50p flight was only about 30 minutes long. Just was poor experience will booking more with American Airlines.

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

Unfortunately the flight was delayed. On a positive note the status updates in the app/text message were good

We waitied for 2 hours for flights to take off. Make us to seat 2 hours in small space is not good.

Ultimately fine but plane seemed dated and creaky and landing was hard…. At no time did I feel unsafe so thank you.

Wheel Chair Access sucked. I had a guy from Bangaldesh drop me off without taking me to the gate

The amount of gate changes and delays is completely unacceptable. This has happened on 3 of 4 trips between Chicago and Dallas in 2026.

I didn't like anything about this flight. The only reason anyone drinks Jack is because you ran out of Woodford. You should know to stock more Woodford. When you wait of first class hand and foot from the minute they get on the plane 5 feet from me but then start service from the rear of the plane so main cabin plus gets the scraps, that's how you get people to stop flying your airline.

American Airlines was horrible! The layover flight to DFW was delayed with no clear communication and for us having to stay the whole day which led to staying a night in Dallas was comped with 2 $12 dollar vouchers and a crappy hotel. We missed a whole day in Tokyo for our honeymoon and stressed the whole 24 hours. We were supposed to leave at the same time the following day, but that was delayed hours again. And instead of letting the delayed flight go first, they let the flight that was scheduled ahead of us. American should refund us the day wasted in Dallas that should have been in Tokyo! We had lost out on paid events that we can’t get refunded. When we finally did leave, it was a good flight. You would think that was the only issue with American but we from the LAX layover, we were delayed 6 hours and were given a $12 dollar voucher that covered a drink only. The only communication we were given then was that because they were delayed in a prior flight we were delayed again. I don’t understand why it was only with American that we had such a bad time with! They have definitely left a sour taste in our mouths for our honeymoon! And then they did send an email saying we could have 2K miles…. For what? To be delayed into another day and miss our flight again?

The delay update was very late. I had a stressful short connection and RAN through Chicago to get to the next flight, only to find the plane wasn't at the gate yet an nobody was boarding. I would not have had to run if the delay was updated earlier.

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!
