Paid for premium extra leg room but the bin space for rows 1-3 had to go in rows 4-6 and 4-6 had to go to 7-9 because flight attendants have snacks and their luggage upfront. So we pay extra to have to fight thru traffic to get our bags. Only 2nd day of new seating so hope they fix this.
Delayed flight. Nicest crew member was a SW pilot flying seated next to me who kindly move to seat the final passenger. Flight extra delayed. My cup of refreshment of ginger ale was so packed with ice it was literally 2 sips.
Southwest is Southwest. No frills. If you're luck enough to get a happy crew (we did), then it makes for a nicer flight.
I would have liked to arrive on time - not 5 hours late!
Board Milian spokesman with pre boarding , not after A group and without my spouse. Total BS, back to Alaska Airlibes I GO. oner 1.2M miles and 900 flights, and every time I fly SWA I regret it, thos will be last time, I only flew SWA but to time requirements fir a Funeral. NEVER AGAIN SWA
Good crew, funny movies, but you need phone ports in the plane and better snacks. :)
Had a long layover in rainy Chicago. The staff were attentive - my husband needed a wheelchair due to a recent fall and unsteady on his feet. They are wonderful for those of us who need a bit of extra care. My only complaint was discovered upon unpacking our suitcases at home. One (we had 3 carry on size and one just a bit larger) had water damage to everything inside. All the clothing (just happened to be the case with the clean clothes) were wet. I know it was raining, but why would items inside be wet? The paperwork packed in this case was damp with ink running. There were momentos from our 10-day European vacation that I was hoping to scrapbook - but alas, they will be scrapped - too damaged to keep. The boxes of French chocolate were damp on the outside. My expensive camera now has a cracked screen and a Gaudi tea-for-one was cracked - even though it was packed in clothing. I know it happened on this flight as I repacked all four suitcases before leaving New York in the morning. My first unhappy experience with luggage at Southwest.
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.
The a/c wasn’t working very well and it was a very hot flight
Apparently you could not have food unless you ordered ahead. This was not obvious ahead of time. What we saw given to others on the plane also appeared too be quite meager.
Seat didn’t recline at all- very uncomfortable after three hours
In flight service flight attendants did wonderful job.Airlines could have done better with snacks,since it was early morning flight breakfast places where not open so people could not grab anything quick for breakfast.I hope they would keep that in mind.
Be able to buy food while on the plane, not just in advance. Should be able to watch TV on entertainment screens on backs of chairs
I paid extra to choose a seat. When arriving at the gate after a very stressful check in at the airport, realized did not get the chosen seat that I PAID for. When I called the airline I was told I did not pay to choose a seat and could not be refunded, but I DID pay extra to choose a seat. And of course, got stuck in a MIDDLE seat. Since the seats are now crammed together, this is especially uncomfortable. The check in for baggage was ridiculous, it was a mile long and the kiosk to check in for the flight was very confusing. We finally sought out help and a very rude representative quickly went through the kiosk and printed a boarding pass that did not provide the PAID for chosen seat. Didn't get to get on the return flight because the flight coming in was delayed several hours, missed the flight by 3 minutes!!!!!!! You really can't hold the door for 3 minutes for a passenger you KNOW you are waiting for??? What stress and had to wait 4 MORE HOURS to get a flight home because you could not keep the door open 3 minutes. 3 minutes. Had only 20 minutes to get from flight to connecting flight and was accused of taking too long to get from gate to gate in Chicago. Flights were delayed all day long coming in and going out, you would think you could wait 3 minutes to allow passengers to get to the connecting flights. HUGE inconvenience, stressful and makes for a really LONG day when the flight leaving Des Moines to Chicago was horribly delayed, already had a horrible experience and missed the connecting flight by 3 minutes. 3 minutes. Airplane was still there, the door closed, why on earth is it such a huge deal to wait a few minutes when flights were already delayed ALL DAY LONG and why is it such a huge deal to REOPEN the door to let another passenger on??!! I used to like Alaska Airlines. I just plain hate flying in general now. The airlines have 0 (zero)care about the people buying tickets and making travel plans and how stressful flying is now. Zero care.
The flight was completed within the expected timeframe and the staff were nice. Main complaints were the WiFi was almost non-functional and not worth the $8 they were charging and one of the bathrooms seemed like it was falling apart, which makes me wonder how good the maintenance and safety is.
this is my second time flying with them and for the second time I missed my connecting flight due to their airline. The first time this happened they accommodated me the second time they made me sleep 14 hours in the airport because they told me this time it was air, traffic controls fault, and not theirs so they cannot accommodate me.
I liked the flight. What could be done better is that airplanes should seat the passengers from back to front and not front to back.
Service OK except could not make out much of what the pilot said when making announcements. Wish they would have had seat back screens. Charging ports were conveniently located. Overall very average experience. Far from the best, but I've had worse.
I ended up having to sit next to a rather large individual who spilled over into my seat the entire flight. My neck and shoulder hurt from having to sit awkwardly for over 5 hours because this person didn't fit in their seat.
The plane was a rather tired 737-800, with old style small luggage bins. Poor air flow. USB charger in the infotainment system was not functioning. The flight was 2 hours late due to crew rest requirements (not their fault). On arrival in Seattle, waited on the tarmac for 30 minutes with very few updates from the crew.
One of the restrooms didn’t work. The ones that did never got replenished. Flight attendant just sitting there on their phone. No notification that the bathroom was broken so long lines. Apathetic crew.
I am in a wheelchair The gate agent knew exactly how to boarding A wheelchair first also the flight attendant knew exactly what she was doing
Not really a “Delta” problem but worth mentioning: Boarding was a difficult process. TSA seemed understaffed and Pre-Check took longer than regular TSA. The supervisor was frazzled and yelled at travelers. Once through TSA, we had to put our carry-ons through another x-ray machine. Then queue up to board with both boarding pass and ID. Then, when we got to the stairs on the tarmac, we had to show our boarding pass again. Maybe this is just normal for Kona since the terminal is outdoors (but still a “secured” area).
Flight attendants were great. Cheerful, upbeat and friendly. Jet, in particular, was fantastic.
Checkin was good, fllight ws good. Onlly complaint is lack of foot on 6 hour flight from Seattle to Boston. Snacks were flimsy - chips and cookies. could have offered something more substantial for such a long flight. I know you can buy food in airport but for the price you pay for a ticket, they should step up for the passengers.
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.
This was an auto-rebook due to being delayed from an earlier UA connecting flight. The boarding was fine, but they sat me in a middle seat when my original booking was a window seat. Overall, the flight was fine as it still got me to my final destination.
The flight was delayed by a hour and I wish they had communicated it sooner. No issues on the plane, it did take a while for food to come.
Smooth and easy boarding, comfortable for the entire 5 hour flight, and the seat back entertainment was great! I appreciated all the features, from location info and maps, movies, the ability to connect with Bluetooth headphones, and good selection of movies. Food was good, normal airline snacks (I didn’t purchase anything)
They did the one thing that really matters - got to Chicago early.
it was so bad. I tried to board my flight from vancouver to saskatoon. And to my surprise they did not board me cause the flight was changed and no email was send to me. and on my boarding pass which i got from seattle says different flight. I did not knew anyone from Vancouver, air canada crew was rude, i asked for today flight but they were rude and i had early morning dental appointment in saskatoon. I was so much in pain and my whole day is wasted today. and i suffered alot. They did provide me hotel but they did not provide me any food. I am really really disappointed first time had so bad experience with air canada. I may think twice to book it again. If i can get any reply or any composition that would be great. Thanks
leg space better than expected. two washrooms for one plane isn't enough.
The seats on this flight were almost roomy enough to be the basic amount needed for human existence. I think my favorite part of this flight was it landed at an A gate, which was the most palatial part of Sea-Tac I've ever seen - a massive improvement from the S gates.
Everything was fantastic. Modern plane. All the amenities! Although the paid snacks and meals are pure robbery. Like i understand airlines need to make money, but 11$ USD for an overnight oats with some nuts in it and barely any pieces of apple.... Highway robbery
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
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
Terrible. I hate flying with AA. There is always a high level of stress felt when I fly with them.
