Seated at front bulkhead for a smidge extra leg room away from home and on flight back home. Away crew was very proactive about assuring our carryons had space close behind us (because no seat in front of us our personal items had to be in a small bin overhead). They actively required passengers place overhead luggage on its side so more items could fit in bins. Home crew made no such efforts. I had to struggle back rows to get overhead bags upon landing, no crew help then either, and some disgruntled passengers as I and others retrieved our bags. There was a system that worked pretty well. The home bound crew just didn't feel like working.
Southwest has inacted unfriendly customer policies like other airlines. Watch the fine print very carefully if you are having to alter flight arrangements. Rules are now complicated and very stilted to travelers sacrificing travel funds (unlike before where the simple, straight forward flight change policy was worth the extra premium for ticket price.) On the positive side, SW Flight crews are still wonderfully helpful.
My flight from Denver to Minneapolis was excellent. My flight from Minneapolis to Denver was one of the worst I flights I have ever experienced. I had a window seat, the gentleman in the middle seat was morbidly obese and SW should have made him purchase two seats. His elbow dug into my arm most of the way even after I asked to please be careful. I was literally squashed between the him and the window with no wiggle room. The plane was full so it was not possible to ask for a different seat. I realize I should have complained to the flight attendant but I didn't feel anything could be done to rectify the situation. I fly SW often, I will continue to do so as this was my first negative experience.
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 😮.
It went well. We even got in 15 earlier than scheduled.
I stopped flying southwest a long time ago. I don’t care for their boarding process, especially when I have a family to try and seat together. The early bird check in made it so much easier. As long as you do that, it’s great.
Everything was very good. I will fly Southwest again soon!
Nice and easy. You can't go wrong with the value and quality or Southwest.
Flight was cancelled due to “inclement weather” even though all other carriers continued to operate as planned.
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.
We never made it on this flight because we missed our connection due to o delayed flight from Jackson.
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
Because I was moved to an exit row, the snacks in economy comfort, the selection of snacks was better.
The flight was an hour and a half late departing which was inconvenient
It was very hot on the plane and it wasn’t acknowledged by the crew. This whole trip was one of the worst flying experiences I’ve had in a while. We sat in that hot plane on the tarmac in SLC for 45 min (after being delayed for 33 min for crew). 4 hours in the air in a barely cooled cabin. Over 30 min sitting on the tarmac in CLT waiting for a gate. I missed my original connection but was fortunate to get on the last flight out to RDU so I can make my 2 hour drive home. I know these things happen. But it’s frustrating nonetheless.
WiFi didn’t work the entire flight. Very disappointing. Minimal food and options - sadly the state of current affairs. All other aspects of the flight were fine.
Given it’s a red-eye into Charolotte, we didn’t get any food. The survey does not include “N/A” so the rating will be skewed.
It went up and down at the right time and place. I’m happy with that outcome.
Flight was cancelled as I was in line for security. Next available flight got me to my destination 24 hrs later than the first. No refunds offered, just credit toward another flight. I booked with delta, got to my destination only 2 hrs behind my original flight schedule. Won’t be using American again.
It was a good flight - not overbooked and in time.
It was perfect in almost all ways. In fact it arrived early in both legs of my flight. The entertainment was marginal, but that was due mostly to the length of the flight. I love American!
Thankfully no connections off of this one on the day of the flight as it was delayed 90+ minutes.
Average - flew with Jet Blue internal and it was far more comfortable and better food and entertainment. Notable difference
Flight was delayed an hour. The pilot said we could deplane but that we wouldn’t be able to get back on. Luckily, my layover in ORD was 2 hours and it didn’t affect my connection. But a lot of people missed their connection and a handful of people elected to get off the plane. There were a lot of upset people and the American crew didn’t seem very sympathetic or accommodating.
Boarding and crew were great, but seats are terribly uncomfortable. No food or entertainment options.
Booked through Kayak for $236. They canceled the flight unknown to me; retaining $100 for canceling it. Found out when I went to check in. Rebooked the same flight for $400. Incredibly disappointed. The Sun Country part was as to be expected. Crowded, no food, no arm room but got me where I wanted to go.
Sat between 2 big men. I was uncomfortable. Flight was delayed twice. About 2 hours altogether.
It was a good experience. I do wish the seats were roomier. Also, I did not like being charged for my carry on bag
The Flight was fine, the staff treated me well, the flight got delayed over 5 1/2 hours for maintenance issues....but it worked out OK,, they were very apologetic about it, and it is better to not fly if there is any issue than endanger peoples lives, so in reality that was a good thing, It did cost me extra for parking because I went beyond the time I had purchased for parking at MSP. But all in all, Good flight
I did not take this flight because the reservation made by Kayak was wrong! Kayak owes me a trip from Minneapolis to Duluth.
When I got to the airport in Seattle, they told me the flight "did not exist". Kayak reserved me a seat on a flight that did not exist. This is inexcusable. I was able to change my reservation to a flight that actually did exist, but the flight was later and then I didn't make it in time for the next leg of my trip from Minneapolis to Duluth. Kayak owes me a trip from Minneapolis to Duluth, and a big apology for messing up my reservation.
The plane was freezing cold. Asked for a blanket and there were none. Was told twice that the pilots would warm the plane and it never happened Worst experience flying ever
Multiple delays because they screwed up on the crew schedule and had to wait for over an hour for more people to come.
The assistance with the wheel chairs was fabulous. All the people were so very friendly and helpful. I want to thank them all.
When I was boarding my departure from Raleigh to Orlando I was inappropriately scolded by a female dog named Mia because I didn’t pay in advance for my carry on bag ($75). Frontiers website is confusing regarding pre-paying for carryons so it was a simple mistake. I also had paid for “upfront plus” meaning me and my son were seated in the front row with no one in the middle seat ($450 upgrade). When we were boarding Mia said “sir, you didn’t pay for your carryon” in a not so polite tone and told me to get out of line and come back to the counter to pay for my carryon. The way they had the retractable rope left me no room to circle back without making the people behind me move so I just stood there and then she said a second time “sir!! Go pay for your carryon” in an embarrassing tone. I then moved their rope so I could get back to the counter when a second female dog then asked “are you done!?!?” because I had said “do you want me to bulldoze the people behind me?” I then said you do realize I paid over $400 for upfront plus so I was certainly not trying to sneak a carryon bag without paying. Long story short, I am soooo done with discount airlines!!! By the time you pay for all the “extras” you might as well have paid for Delta Southwest or American! Frontier airlines sucks and I was embarrassed by a female dog named Mia!!!
I know Frontier is a “no-frills” airline. I understand the concept. However, I jumped on some tickets for our family vacation, expecting to play a bit of a game to figure out the family bags and not over spend. In the end, I got the short end of this deal by far. 1. I did not expect them to charge the baggage fee for each direction. It makes the fee look high-ish at a glance, but reasonable. Then when you get to checkout and realize you have to pay it twice to come home with your luggage, it becomes ridiculous. 2. The low checked bag weight limit. I am used to packing a 50lb bag with my preferred airline. Frontier’s artificially low 40lb limit more quickly triggers the extra weight fee, which almost DOUBLES the price of the bag if you go over ($79 for the bag/$75 for the next 10 lbs) 3. The fee for a carry-on bag is the same as a checked bag but with a lower size and weight limit. Make it make sense! 4. The seats are terrible. My 2.5 hour flight almost had me losing my mind. I’m 6’3” and my femurs barely fit in the space provided. My knees had to wiggle just right to jam into the crack next to the armrest of the seat in front of me. The cushioning was thin and inadequate. I am tall but I’m not a freak. These seats are unacceptable. 5. I overheard the woman next to me speaking with the gate agent about being charged a $25 fee for not checking in online - she checked in at the airport counter when she arrived. That’s ridiculous. She was old and in a wheelchair. She had a paper boarding pass, and was obviously not tech savvy. She should not be punished for that. 6. They do not have good placement in the terminals. It was always out on the end or down on a subfloor, and we had to walk out on the tarmac almost every time. In Denver. Their home airport! 7. Every time I loaded a new page on the website while buying my tickets or my bags, it was constantly trying to upsell me on some esoteric bundle. Like, a pop-up every time. Very annoying. 8. No screens in the boarding area (at least where we were) to confirm you’re in the right place. Just static gate number signs. I am sure these are standard practices for Frontier, and I should have read more about them before I purchased tickets, but as a result of this single round trip, I do not plan to ever use this cut-rate airline again. I would rather pay the normal amount for a ticket and be treated like a customer instead of a mark.
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.
I am HIGHLY unhappy with the amount of money I spent on the flight. Paid in advance only to find the flight at a discount price a week or so before the flight. I will not fly frontier again and have bad mouthed your business since to anyone I have spoken with about flying (which has been many a people). Crew was mediocre and instead of moving me to a spot where I could gain some leg room they sat their flight attendant there. Won’t be flying frontier in the future.
