It was just okay, no frills, basic transportation with no luxury. No screens on the seats, no water or drinks on a short flight. Full flight but at least it was on time.
Plane was clean and comfortable. Flight attendants and gate staff were professional, friendly and efficient. Boarding and deplaning were orderly and efficient. All in all, the typical excellent Southwest experience.
The problem with the seat assignments is that there were a lot of rows in the front that were empty but my row at the back was full. Just not so pleasant.
Ever since Southwest starting charging for bags, passengers don't want to pay to check their bags, so the gate agents have to beg people to check their roller bags now because there's "not enough space". This was a terrible business move by Southwest.
As always, the entire Southwest experience was perfect. Purchasing the tickets on the Southwest web site was effortless, departure and arrival gates were spotless and comfortable, plane was clean and comfortable, crew was excellent and flight was on time. Wheelchair service in Las Vegas at departure was somewhat chaotic and disjointed, but I am not sure if that was Southwest problem, airport problem or combination.
Great experience flying Southwest. The crew was really kind and helpful, and very friendly with our toddler.
Crew was excellent - Plane was fine. Media was good, could use more kid shows; Not a fan of the brownie brittle -- snack could be slightly better.
The flight itself was good. Delays were the problem. Original flight was scheduled for 8:10 pm. Got notifications all day -- actual time is 8:40; then 8:25; then 8:35; then 8:45. Then once I get through security, it's actually 9:35.
Friendly and efficient service. On time departure and earlier arrival.
As usual was very late. This has become a norm in southwest tobhave every flight very late
Know that the movies that you are going to be offered are the oldest be rated movies they could possibly get. They may have one or two new movies that they keep advertising but when you’re flying 15 hours, there is nothing to see past the first new movie.
This was an overnight flight, and in the morning they did know coffee service. How you can throw passengers in a San Francisco airport at 5:40 a.m. in the morning and not giving them Coffee is a crime.
Checking in united could not figure out my star alliance gold. Baggage did not get marked priority and didn't receive boarding passes. When got to SFO lounge personal fixed everything Immediately
We had to wait almost an hour for the wheelchair porter to be ready to pick up my mother. And when she arrived in Newark airport the porter was not there and she started walking with her cane and her poor mobility. When the Newark porter found her they didn't want to transfer her bags to the wheelchair for her.
Flight was delayed due to the late arrival of the catering truck, which is quite unacceptable. There was a beverage service, but no pretzel, or cookie, or nuts were served in coach.
I contacted both carriers months beforehand to change the cabin (booked in April) but to no avail (united asked to contact Swiss since it was their equipment, Swiss told me to reach out to united). So yeah… My seat was pretty worn down, legroom on 27K was more than enough, but still economy seating so, getting to know your neighbours was easy. According to ground staff, the flight was massively overbooked- and this showed. I ordered a gluten free meal beforehand (which was honoured) but for breakfast got a bread roll and croissant 🤷🏼♂️ The connection itself is great. Leaving SFO late PM to arrive at ZRH in the afternoon makes it easier to get re adjusted again. However, and since I’ve flown this connection a couple of times in the past, I will rather deal with one carrier only and include a layover on the east coast.
Overall good experience. The positive: nice courteous crew. A modern aircraft, with extra space for carry on luggage. The okeish: Unfortunately, no entertainment screens, you have to you use your phone with the United App. The bad: in seat power was not working in our row, even it was promised as an onboard service. We were looking to charge our almost depleted phone batteries during g the flight This no power also happened in the flight to las Vegas. We paid extra to be in seats closer to the entrance. It was not advised that the seats we selected couldn't recline as behind us was was the emergency exit.
Food on this flight was horrendous, and I've had a lot of plane food, I know it's not fine dining but everything tasted terrible. The staff were friendly and helpful, boarding was OK and flight was on time.
Convenience is what I liked… Very little needs to be improved as it’s a domestic flight that connects to an international long haul.
The boarding process was pretty messy both at the gate and on the plane with staff who were not particularly friendly or helpful. I also think in comparison to their competitors the allocated space is less
