Reviews of the top 5 airlines serving from Richmond to Illinois
Maybe different snack selection. To much sodium in them. I know refrigerators are not available but there has to be healthier items.

Wasn't expecting this, but, we actually ended up getting assigned to the first row of seats!!!!! The extra legroom came in handy
Flight was delayed over 3 hours. Planes were dirty. Staff indifferent. And they serve vegan pretzels as snacks.
The flight was smooth. The Southwest experience has degraded overall, but this one was okay.
The checking experience in Orlando was terrible, almost missed the flight. Too many travelers and Southwest completely understaffed.
no service at all due to turbulence. they should've at least given us snacks, there were only 10 people on the entire flight.
For the first time in a long time, the Wi-Fi actually worked the entire flight! The flight crew was amazing as usual.
Great flight. I didn't get a drink because I was asleep whole on the flight.
The trip was good. Short, uneventful, and can't ask for more than that My one complaint is that I had signed up for wheel chair assist between gates. I fractured my foot/ankle in two places and needed the help. Neither flight did the requested help appear. I ended up walking through both Atlanta and Nashville Airport and was a very unhappy traveler. While I know that it's the airport responsibility for the service, I wish that SW had at least verified that the assistance was there as requested.
I liked that we arrived safely. I did not like how Southwest personnel blamed the boarding delays on wheel chair passengers. If there is a national wheelchair basketball tournament occurring, be ready as a company to respond with appropriate resources to match your cudtomers needs.
Sat in the tarmac at O’Hare for 65 minutes. This is a regular occurrence for delta at O’Hare
Delta was fine though my flight was delayed 4 hours into LGA and my return into ORD involved a taxi of 1+ hour to the gate
It was as good as it could be. Flying is not a pleasant experience these days.
Flight attendants were great. Cheerful, upbeat and friendly. Jet, in particular, was fantastic.
There was an unruly family behind us that made the short flight miserable!!! The cabin crew did nothing to contain it.
Flight delay was frustrating, also you cannot checkin online without delta app, web browser check-in throw errors
They made us board and then deboard due to mechanical issue which delayed the departure by almost 2 hours and we barely made our connecting flight. These quality checks should've been done before boarding not after.
My Flight was cancelled and there was no other options available for me to Travel on that date and my options for the next day was all connecting flights that would have me in the airports all day before reaching my destination
I appreciate the crew and their hard work. In Atlanta, the ticket counter had 1 woman to do all the work. She was amazing. People weren’t happy they had to check their carry on roller bags, but she handled them well. She was cordial and worked quickly to get the passengers boarded.
I understand why there was a 40 minute delay, but we should have been offered snacks during that time. We weren’t offered it until later.
On time. Accommodated carry on and personal bag in the plane. Good entertainment available and access without using own device. Gave a whole can of juice rather than a pour. Seat did not recline much.
Good, our flight was delayed but that was totally out of their control due to weather and a presidential visit.
The price. Omg $1100. Was crazy and it was not clear on the website.
Excellent. I had a medical emergency on flight SNA-ORD and the attendants were very helpful.
Usual wait for over a half hour for a gate at Ohare. They tell you you'll get there early then sit on the plane and wait almost an hour
Plane congestion resulted in a 1 hr wait from landing to arrival at the gate. This was in addition to also experiencing extreme delays on my incoming flight.
Very disappointing that on an international business class flight they would not give me access to the lounge in Boston. They said it was because it was a codeshare flight. International business class should include lounge access regardless of codeshare.
They did the one thing that really matters - got to Chicago early.
It is a modern tragedy that any airline expects you to travel for 14 hours in such discomfort and that the only way to add comfort is exorbitant prices. I was in pain by the time we landed. Shameful.
Planes were on time, we were offered opportunities to take seats in exit aisles that had better leg room, tasks offs and landings were smooth, we were kept informed of flight status
No WiFi, no power to charge phone, confusing boarding, delays
There is a considerable amount of people that use the wheel chair pre boarding along of large groups of family / friends. This is not right should be limited only to the person in need and the airline assistant. Some of these people use overhead bins that do not belong to them. The aircraft had a non functional wifi . The service was bad.
Flight was delayed 3 hours. No food on plane besides snacks
Every thing went smooth. No complaints except deplaning could have been quicker
I was grossly overcharged to change my return flight. Had to do it through Kayak because it was booked that way and I was not given the fare price listed at the time on JetBlue or kayak. Was traveling with another couple that booked directly through JetBlue and they paid the $100 change fee and the difference between what they paid originally(same as me) and the displayed fares and it was less than $400 total for two tickets. I paid almost $700 to change the same fare tickets they purchased and had to pay again for upgraded seat selection that I previously paid for on top of the almost $700 increase. Difficult to talk to the kayak representative because of his accent. Told me I had to wait for confirmation to be sure it had been changed and that I could take up to a few hours. The call itself after the wait time took almost 30 minutes, which could’ve been done directly on JetBlue in 2 to 3 minutes.. My husband and I were given separate boarding zones. They would not let us board together. I had to board in the last zone. They made me check my bag even though my husband told me that he had a spot to put my carry-on. Since he boarded before me. The flight crew tried to accommodate, but the woman that was boarding in the terminal came down and would not let me take my carry-on. She was aggressive, rude and condescending to everybody in line and told them she was being audited. When I told her that my husband had secured a spot for me to put my carry-on with his backpack, that would then move to under the seat. She told me that she couldn’t play favorites, although I was second to last to board the plane since my boarding zone was changed. They told me because I forwarded my husband his ticket that’s what separated our boarding zones, but would not allow us to board together. The volume on my TV would not work, and my upgraded seat would not go into the fully upright position so I was told repeatedly during takeoff and landing to put my chair into the upright position which was embarrassing and uncomfortable to be told assertively so many times. I will not book through kayak again.
Nice plane, with TV, comfortable seats and leg room. Updated regularly on time changes
Overall, it was a fantastic experience had no movies up charge for everything haven’t flown in many many years. Crew is fantastic. Flight was good overall great experience.
Jet Blue cancelled my flight after I had boarded. They attempted to rebook me for a new flight two days later. I was able to rebook with a different airline, but not until the next morning. As such, I was forced to get an expensive hotel and missed important work meetings Monday morning. I am very disappointed with the customer service and will be pursuing full reimbursement for my hotel cost.
There were mutliple delays. There was inconsistent, delayed, and poor communication regarding the delays.
I volunteered to let them put my carry on suitcase in the baggage storage area. But when we landed I was told it was being unloaded IN A DIFFERENT TERMINAL! I had to walk (painful for me) a long way to retrieve my bag and my ride had to move from the waiting area they were in to a totally different one. Not happy.
Delays and cancellations. Mechanics weren’t on site. Replacement plane took hours to arrive although it should have arrived within 90 minutes. Flight back was cancelled. Ended up driving over 12 hours and wasting 3 days between everything.
They did not offer coffee on a 7am flight…awful!!
RIC Staff was not enough. Elderly passengers had to wait 30 minutes to deplane, so we could board and still had to walk as no chairs were provided. And, passenger in front of my seat assignment rammed seat against my legs entire flight time. Was mildly bruised and left thigh still sore.
The flight had a delay that made me being in a real rush to take the second flight. The delay was almost for 2 hours. They moved us from gate to gate in 4 times. Once I arrived to Philadelphia, I got to run thorough all the airport, as the train was already closed by that time. So I got sick with asthma for all the running I had to do. And I was the last one to board, when it was almost closed. So irresponsable with the people
5.5 hour delay with no explanation on why, along with no proactive effort to reaccomodate me.
Flight overall was good. Landing was a little rough, but could be attributed to the rainy weather.
The free internet access did not work, so we had to purchase 2 Internet packages. Flight attendants were not proactive in checking in with first class patrons
Equipment swap led to 2+ hour delay on international flight. And to top it off, boarding took forever.
Wretched scheduling - they got themselves into a critical crew situation and didn’t try to address it until 15 minutes before they had to cancel my flight
Biggest issue was original flight canceled and booked to another flight 6 hours earlier and received no notification
