If you have a rollerboard, at least 50% of the time it won't fit in the overhead (regional jet) and have to be gate checked. I travel with a half size bag if i am spending no more than 4 days away and it fits in the overhead. That saves a lot of time when you have a connection and don't have to wait for your bag.

Make sure you have extended time if you are connecting in Phoenix. The terminals are at least a 15/20 minute walk between each other.

Was fine, delayed and feels like southwest is always late

Sacrament staff are always polite and helpful. Airport is easy to maneuver and boarding is straightforward.

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 liked the crew member who gave flight instructions on "in case of a problem:. The seats are so small that only a young teenager could sit in middle seat.

Great flight staff. Ease of boarding. Overall, very uneventful and easy trip.

Flight was ok. Boarding wasn’t fun. Flights were delayed by 12 minutes on each leg.

Terrible. Plane was at gate for 30 minutes before boarding. Boarding took 30 min. Then the co pilot announces that the plane has the minimal amount of fuel it needed. So we waited at the gate on board without air conditioning for 42 minutes while the plane took on additional fuel. My question to Southwest Airlines. Why didn’t you add the fuel to the plane before you allowed boarding to a plane without air conditioning in 102 degree heat.

2 hour delay Missed my birthday plans Was offered no beverages Staff on plane was rude

Friendly and efficient service. On time departure and earlier arrival.

Flight was as expected. Southwest has always provides great service and accommodations. They never disappoint.

Subject: Formal Complaint – Incompetent Service and Denied Boarding on Flight 1409 (CLSVJM – Dear Alaska Airlines Customer Relations, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my experience on Flight 1409 departing from Seattle on 6/13/26. As a physician and business owner who frequently coordinates group travel, this was one of the worst airline experiences I have encountered. Upon arrival, I was informed that my check-in boarding pass was not official, despite successfully obtaining it electronically through your website/app with no warnings or indications of issues. My electronic boarding pass was rejected, leading to cancellation/denial of boarding. The gate agent (an older woman) was unhelpful, claimed my name had been announced multiple times (which it had not—she did not even know my name correctly), and mistakenly boarded my traveling companion under my name. Additionally, an older blonde staff member nearly failed to return my passport, highlighting a clear lack of training on your check-in and boarding systems. This chaos forced me onto a later flight while my group waited in Canada, unable to check into our Airbnb or pick up rental cars (as I was the primary booker). The entire incident caused significant business disruption, stress, and additional expenses. I have flown Alaska Airlines previously but will not consider it again without resolution. I request: • Full reimbursement of any additional costs incurred. • Appropriate compensation (vouchers/miles) for the inconvenience and poor service. • Confirmation of corrective actions for Please respond within 7-10 business days. Sincerely, Dr. Chunwen Teng

A solidly good experience, but would’ve appreciated more communication with regards to travel delays.

The plane not having any overhead bin space was inconvenient. Anytime my luggage has to be checked it ends up covered in scratches and that’s not covered by the airlines for replacement/repair. The WiFi did not work or was not offered for the flight from Seattle to Vancouver.

The seats were not very comfortable and there were no TV screens. Boarding was pretty fast because there were so few people on such a small plane and I appreciated that they still gave us our snack and drinks, however I really wish they would come up with a good gluten-free snack.

Everything was really good except it was really cold in the plane,

Our flight experience started at the check in kiosk. Jennifer  Polete smf 498304 greeted us and assisted us with our tags and check in guidance. She was so pleasant, helpful and friendly. This was the start of my experience with American Airlines and it made such a wonderful impression. The staff on the airplane were also kind, courteous, and attentive. I would definitely fly American Airlines again

Overall good. Good communication from the captain on delay, cozy seats, nice staff, and a perfect landing.

Overall a good experience, just a bit of a cramped and old aircraft

Easy checki in and boarding. VERY clean seats and excellent service.

For a red-eye flight, it was overall okay. My biggest complaint is that my seat recline was broken and I paid more for a premium seat. That was disappointing.

London to Atlanta was good. Atlanta to Phoenix was not. Poor boarding as I had to check my rollerboard even though there was plenty of room in the bins. Crew seemed inexperienced. Sat just off the gate for nearly 30 minutes with no explanation from the pilot while the cabin got hot. I typically have a much better experience with Delta.

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.

While they turned off most cabin lights to allow people to sleep, I was bothered by how bright the side lights still were. It was still quite bright for me in a window seat, when I wish I could have slept!

I took seat 15A in anticipation of window seat, there is no window.

It was nt delta. It was aeromexo. Service was awful. They served a very small drink and NO snack for a 3hr and 35min flight. Then for the first 30 min of the flight is was talk and talk over head interruption the movie/ show i picked to watch.

Left on time, a bit delayed due to headwinds most of the trip.

Was charged for my luggage despite having been on one ticket from an international flight. Too tired to argue after 15 hours on flight. Was charged for rechecking it at JFK airport. Not sure why those off Kenya Airways were required to do that.

There was a security issue at the airport and we were unable to land. We circled endlessly and then landed at another airfield for fuel. We then circled the airport again, almost landed but didn’t fully touch down before circling again. I am thankful to the crew for keeping us safe- the issue was the airline and staff at the airport getting us seats on our connecting flights. That part was hours of searching for someone and getting in double my steps.

Horrible. Grateful to be alive but spent 13 hours at airport only to return back to my familys house and flight changed to next day. They tried to fix a part on plane, had no back up plane and after 10 hours , reattempted the flight and it STILL wasn't fixed. We got a meal voucher and rescheduled flight but there should be some other compensation for the 15 hours spent in airport

Not pleasant. We arrived several hours late and my friend and driver were waiting for me a long time at Tucson airport. At first we had to divert to phoenix due to shitty weather. Well, i guess I can’t fault anyone for that. But then when they refueled , they overfueled and we had to wait even longer for the plane to burn off excess fuel. So someone really screwed up there and should get fired. Human error is really inexcusable.

American was the airline that Starlux contracted for this trip. I arrived in time to make the connecting flight on American, and then the baggage-handler debacle happened. For some reason, the first class and premium economy passengers' luggage was unloaded first. Never seen this happen before. They had handlers removing the bags from the carousel for those passengers. Meanwhile, all of the economy passengers were waiting for their bags, including me. And there were a lot of bags because it was an international flight packed full. While waiting for 45 minutes, my bag didn't show. Meanwhile, an American representative showed up asking if anyone has a connecting flight to Phoenix. Of course I spoke up, and they proceeded to try to find my bag because I had to take a bus to the actual terminal to catch my flight. Which I was not informed of before I arrived. After another 15 minutes of searching, my bag was finally found with the first-class passengers' bags because they had pulled it by mistake. So I rushed to the terminal with the American representative to catch my flight, and they informed me that I missed it and could not get another flight until the next day. Of course, after being on an international flight for 18 hours, I was in no mood to hear this. Now, to be fair, there were a few American employees who tried to help me. After hearing about the missed flight, they got a supervisor to talk to. I expressed my situation to the supervisor, and she was not helpful until I asked for compensation. She agreed to get me a hotel room for the night. So I agreed, and she disappeared into her office, and I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. While waiting, I was asked by three different employees who knew of my situation if I had been helped. I told them I was waiting for the supervisor to get the hotel room, and they said they would check. Finally, after waiting for 75 minutes, one of the employees who had asked me if I had been helped arrived with my hotel room and arranged a ride to the hotel for me. Never saw the supervisor again. It was now 8 o'clock; I arrived at 5:45! My rebooked fight was scheduled for 6:11 this morning and I have now been informed it has been delayed until 10:00. So am I happy with American? NO I'M NOT!! ;

The SFO Lounge crew were amazing. The bartender Faris was great. Thanks!

The experience at checkin for my American Airlines flight from Sacramento to LAX was very good including the assistance I received in getting my bags checked in and boarding passes printed. Was pleasantly surprised the my bags were checked through all the way to my destination at Clark International Airport in Angeles, Philippines.

Mediocre would be best description. Food bland. Seat biz class uncomfortable to sleep. Crew never dimmed lights completely in an overnight flight to Europe. Would avoid AA if possible.

It would be nice to have some low carb options in the snacks.

Eventless. It was a good flight and good crew. Can’t complaint.

The flight was uneventful. What was a problem was I was delayed getting home one entire day because the flight from Sacramento was delayed. That made getting to my connecting flight impossible. I had to stay another night at the hotel and incur that expense as a result.

We are gluten free, there were not any available complimentary gluten free options.

Everything was very good EXCEPT the food, on a five and a half hour trip. They only gave to us was snacks in first class. They didn't give us pillows or blankets.

Not sure about entertainment as I didn't use any, soay e there should be an NA option on this survey. Otherwise everything was just as it should be. Of course I wish planes were more comfortable and had seats that would tilt back further.

12 hour delay required getting on and off plane 3 times - would have at least liked to have been offered a snack or drink

They switched our terminal 3 times and we were delayed for four plus hours!!!

The flight never took off and we spent 7 hours at the airport

This airline sucks. They offer low rates then charge you for everything, the app does not work well, the seats are the most uncomfortable. Maintenance issues on the flight, and you still have to sit through their credit card commercials. People are nice enough but does not make up for overall poor experience.

Cancelled flight after I arrived at airport after 75 min drive and parking. Next flight was 4 days in the future. Had to scramble and buy a much more expensive flight on another carrier.

With frontier you get what you pay for. The flight was two hours late. It’s a tight fit for the number of people they bring but you get to where you’re going cheap. Sometimes that’s more important than a nifty drink and cool TV..

We had an awful experience getting our bags checked in. Frontier’s check in on the app manipulated us into buying the business package because that was the only option available for a checked bag which included two checked bags per person which we did not need. Upon arriving to the airport, we stood in line for what seemed like forever at the baggage check in and there was no one available at the counter. We were first in line and we were afraid we were going to miss our flight due to the baggage attendant being late. After realizing there were a lot of other people waiting at the baggage check in and no one available. I reached out to Frontier and could not get any customer service so I had to call the airport to page the baggage attendant to send someone to the counter to check in our bags before we were able to go through security , I finally spoke to the attendant at the counter and explained to her that we had to pay for two checked bags person a total of six bags when we only had a total of three bags between three people she said to reach out to Frontier and they would issue a refund for the three bags that we paid for and did not need. I reached out to Frontier which I was not able to reach anybody by phone so I had to go through their automated chat feature, which sent me around in circles until I finally reached a representative to assist me. I explained to them what happened and they explained that they were not able to assist me. I continued to push the issue with them as this was very frustrating and they finally put in a customer service ticket where we were issued a flight credit and we were so disappointed because after this experience, we NEVER want to fly Frontier again, and we do not want a credit that we will not use. Frontier charged us almost $500 for us to check three bags which is absolutely absurd! The customer service agents were not able to offer anything else other than a flight credit and I do not feel like my frustrations were truly heard , we will never use Frontier Airlines again ! Truly Theft by Manipulation! They should be ashamed!

Literally everything could have been better. Why are the planes always late?

Our flight was delayed an hour, then when we got to board our flight finally, we were waiting in our seats for take off for 45 minutes before it was communicated that there was a maintenance issue therefore we waited on the plane for over an hour while that was resolved. We did not get to Phoenix until almost 3 hours after we were originally supposed to. This was the first and last time I will be flying Frontier.

Better than I expected but I did pay for a seat and carry on bags ahead of time.
