Great job! My family doesnt fly often but we felt safe 100%

Communication about the delayed flight was poor. We were told to move gates three times but that was bad information. We went from gate 128 to gate 126 and then to gate 123 and back to gate 126. Communication about the delay was bad. Ended up being 1 1/2 hour late getting home.

Flight was delayed due to plane not passing inspection And one of the crew had to time out and we had to wait for another one A 3 hour delay

It was one and half hour late... Not sure if any other experience matters.

Flight crew and cabin crew were great. I had to rearrange flights because my original flight was 3hrs delayed for weather, the rub is the flight I moved to boarded on time then we sat at the gate for 2 hours because scheduling stole our first officer for another flight, TWICE. Then our actual FO was an hour delayed. To make it worse my original flight went from a 3 hour delay to departing 15min EARLY. Just poor scheduling operations all around.

It was 2 hours 45 minutes late, for no apparently clear reason.

For the first time in a long time we had a flawless experience with Southwest. Both flights were early and no mechanical errors at all. We were shocked and pleasantly surprised 😮.

Excellent. The lady boarding the flight was awesome. Very efficient, and she got everyone on line.

sw cancelled our flight 2 hours before we were to leave. Our bags were already checked. Only communication we had was a text that had a link to reschedule that did not work. When we finally got to front of line ticket agent said they could not get us on a flight until Wednesday. This was Sunday. 3 days. The. They stated since it was “weather” related they would not give us vouchers for food, hotel stay anything. So we had to book on a different airline costing us an extra $1000. Unacceptable.

Planes never have enough leg room for someone my height so my knees were cramped and therefore started aching. Also, the Wi-Fi was down so I couldn't watch anything on my phone like I anticipated.

Average seat comfort, a drink and chips were provided, early boarding because we checked a carryon at the gate was nice. Ticket pricing shenanigans, including fees to pick a seat, check a bag, and get food onboard - evidence the industry is reinvigorating last century’s strategies- destroys the experience before one ever arrives at the airport. It’s difficult to recognize any value or sustain loyalty in the end-to-end process making air travel more drudgery than pleasure.

Everything was great until I lost my water bottle and they can’t seem to locate it. I know I left it on the plane though.

Smaller plane for a longer flight than my first one. Doesn’t make sense.

Delta needs to step its game up get a more reliable internet service. Internet service was non-existent for this flight.

NEVER MADE THE FLIGHT BECAUSE DELTA SAID THEY CAN NOT

Another late night flight and MORE men belligerently drinking and yelling. I had to move from first to economy because they were so obnoxious and disruptive. Crazy to go from a cozy chair to cardboard when you were supposed to be in first. Delta allows was too much drinking which leads to belligerent behavior.

Flight was warm for first few hours and quite rough

We departed early and made up time in the air allowing us to arrive 30 minutes early. Capt was incredibly genuine and thanked every passenger for flying with Delta. Completely humble and professional!

On 2 different flights the wifi was horrible and there was no drink or snack service.

Great, on time departure, friendly and accommodating crew, great leg room, Smith flight

I paid for the upgraded bundle. Was worth it! Great experience round trip!

It was awful everything about it terrible I will never ever ever ride it again

Decent clean onboard experience. Okay discount airline experience. Unfortunately, any customer service interactions are difficult and unhelpful. There is no service. Also, a premium seat only gets you premium boarding if you line up first. Once they start general boarding you must go to the back of the line. Not very premium

The delay was ridiculous because nary a word escaped from the gate attendant regarding our flight status. It was a complete joke.

Plane was down graded and I lost my uncharged exit row with more leg room. No mention or offer of refund from podium. Flight attendant was nice to explain this happens often and that I could request a refund via online form submission. I did this and have heard nothing back.

Although we received an email from Kayak AND the airline, turns out we were not on Frontier’s manifest for the flight. We had to purchase tickets at the gate. Not sure where this transaction fell apart, but it did. We are now disputing the charges for the SLC to PDX flight originally booked through Kayak.

Our flight was cancelled and I spent $800 on a replacement ticket. No refund was awarded other than the cost of my original Frontier ticket. unacceptable...

The worst experience ever!!! They canceled our flight when we arrived at the airport to check in. We asked why is it canceled they told us they don’t know. No apology, very cold and rude. We had to pay for another night at the hotel, we had to call out of work. We won’t be using them anymore in the future!!!

Flying Frontier was a nightmare. From the booking through Kayak, checking in, departing and arriving, I will never recommend Kayak or Frontier.

The experience was terrible. The flight boarded late, then after leaving the gate the plane had had to return to the gate for fuel. After 2 hours on the plane, the flight was canceled. The reasons given for the cancelation didn't sound truthful. and different reasons were given. My 15 year old daughter was flying alone on this flight. When they all disembarked the plane she kept asking the crew what she was supposed to do. No one even gave her the courtesy of a response. No one. It took another 4.75 hrs to be out of customs and baggage. She was re-booked the following day. That flight departed 2 hours late. After all of that, they offered a measly $100 flight voucher with an expiry date of 3 months! All in all a terrible experience. We won't be using Frontier again in the future.
