The whole experience was excellent. As it most often is with Delta

Cabin was not pressurized properly. Several passengers had respiratory difficulties.

I was happy that I was able to get a last minute flight but unfortunately my seat was a middle seat. Even with Delta Comfort I wasn't comfortable

There’s not much to say about a one hour flight. This is a connection from LA to RNO that I missed the previous night due to a mechanical check delay on my originating flight from JFK to LAX. The short flight itself was fine. Instructions from the pilot and crew were per usual. The coffee was barely lukewarm, which possibly was purposeful so we would down it quickly. Bags were already on carousel upon reaching baggage claim, which was excellent.

Flight was warm for first few hours and quite rough

Seat was extremely hard which made even a short 1 hour 20 minute flight fairly uncomfortable.

Improve boarding- the zone assignment and boarding is always a mess- there is not clear instructions of what is going on at the gate. As a meme bet there is no more selection of a good seats when booking. Only offers middle seats to choose or pay extra. There is not more benefit with Amex no benefits at all.

alike schedule and times it’s very good for me, I will stay wad delta for ever

Everything was good except wifi and a leaking drink chiller. The floor was all wet and my bag was soaked. Did not notice until debarking. Have not heard back from Delta. Even though this was leg one of an international flight in first class, they denied access to their Sky Club - very disappointing!

The staff was fine. The plane was extremely tight, and I paid for the wifi and it did not work at all. I was actually going to ask for a refund.

There was no WiFi available, there were mechanical problems with the plane and we landed at C 124, then the gate was switched to A 26, then all the way back to C126! For a 75 yo woman traveling alone, this was a difficult journey, indeed!

Poor. Crew allowed children to run around and scream and disturb passanger’s seats.

Nothing also dont give to people that disgusting blanket and pilow.

2+ hours delayed Outlet in row 12 did not work Tv monitors did not work Lights kept off the entire flight for at 5pm-7pm flight

Plane outlets in my row not working to charge phone. Staff response was, well it should be. Plug into seed for volume not working well. Had to find the sweet spot for plug in or it would shut off and on.

Airport experience at Newark was not great. Only one gate open at immigration for US passports when multiple international flights arriving at the same time. Then having to take a train and a bus to different terminal only to have to clear security again, after I had already gone through at my initial departure location. Older plane, no entertainment screens available, and for economy plus, seat was very uncomfortable. Crew was friendly and this leg of my flight was on-time, even though I arrived later than initially scheduled due to 1st flight being over 2 hours delayed and missing my original connection.

I upgraded my seat and was promised it would be next to the emergency door for extra leg room and they said it was premium plus but it was at the back of the plane...same thing happened from Newark to Dubai

The boarding was cumbersome. The staff was not aligned. They called group 1 but then the agent said no. Then they called group 1 again but still would not board us. Then they called group 2 and they all came up and still hadn’t started boarding. Then someone came from the plane and said why is no one coming? And the agent said bc i thought not yet and she said I said over the walkie talkie to send the passengers down? What was not clear about that? Also, onboard, the crew gave announcements very ironic/authoritative, and in first class they gave us a cheesebox. My expectations based on competition airlines, is a warm meal. A little underwhelming.

HORRIBLE, my initial flight was cancelled, they made me pay $200 extra dollars and that got cancelled as well! After 6 cancellations I decided to get a refund because I needed to get home to my babies. Out of $1000+ dollars they offered me only $40 in refund! Totally unacceptable! The flight that they cancelled I was able to fly it on another airline. I had to spend $400 on one way tickets just to get home! I’m still getting the runaround.

I wish there were outlets to charge my iPhone. The crew was great; we had a female pilot who was great with explaining what was happening and delays,

Flight pulled out on time but sat on runway for 30 mins. It was extremely cold in the aircraft despite wearing a winter coat. Surprisingly they had a vegetarian meal but could have some better snack choices for a 8 hour flight.

We had a male flight attendant who was super attentive and wonderful! Very professional. I have both gluten and dairy intolerance, and was only able to get a gluten free part, and not the dairy free part of the meal. Easy to order ahead of time and I appreciate being able to do that.

Snow delayed boarding several times, which I understand happens. Issue I had was that after we did board, pilot told us we were going to roll out to be de-iced, then on our way. We were de-iced once, taxied to the tarmac and then stopped. Sat for another 30 minutes or so, the another de-icing. Then we rolled out to a parking spot, only to sit for another hour due to a traffic stop in DCA, which I'm confident they knew would happen before we boarded. Pilot gave no updates other than we had to hold, attendants did speak to the crew, but when asked, said the pilot would be updating us. We on the ground in the plane waiting for over 2 hours. They did communicate that bathrooms would be open, but no other news until we left. Would have been better to be up front about status.

Good crew and flight was on time. It’s a small plane with limited overhead luggage space. They said the overhead space was full and I had to check my bag. There was still space when I got on. Waiting for my checked luggage added 30 minutes to my trip. Not the end of the world but also not great.

My seat was assigned last row behind restrooms No legroom’s I’m very Pettit Still was not comfortable Food choice was excellent

Delayed initially because they couldn’t print the flight details. Poor instruction on delay. When I got on the plane the flight attendant argued with me about whether my carry on would fit (it did, although she didn’t acknowledge that). No greeting (other than arguing with me) getting on or off the plane.

Overall good. The pilots and flight attendants are excellent! The equipment was the issue on my First flight as they had to wait for a part to be installed. So the take off was at least 30 minutes later.

The flight attendants as well as the gate agent were out to lunch. Nothing extraordinary about their service. American just keeps getting worse every year.

It was an older plane. First Class was not especially roomy or comfortable. It was a short flight so there were no meal but they did offer mixed nuts which used to be normal but now is rare. Crew member was very polite and professional.

The chicken wrap was tiny ($13 for what looked like a 1/3 of a normal wrap?) and disgusting.

I have to congratulate Kayak (and Dylan the Chatdeal agent) because because when we decided extended our trip in Florida by two days, there were many direct flights oprions back to Boston available on the Friday we wanted to fly on the JetBlue website, but once I canceled the original JetBlue flight on their website, those direct return options disappeared immediatley! I think it's a game JetBlue plays. . Luckily, I checked Kayak and they had a direct flight that wasn't appearing on JetBlue's website and so I booked it, and we were able to fly home direct through the Kayak booking when JetBlue was offering nothing (even though I have been a True Blue member for 20 years, and also am a Mosaic member). So much for loyalty- their algorithm for booking is like a shell game. JetBlue used to be a good company but now they're worse than anyone. Also I was originally booked this trip to Florida, two months before the departure date, I booked the trip on JetBlue's website and then after the payment part, they said there was a problem and that I needed to do the booking again, so when I immediately went to rebook , the price had gone up 30%! I called them and it sounded like they had heard this so many times before and the guy told me to check back in 10 minutes and the price would be back to where it was when I was booking- it but it never was. How could the price go up 30% in one minute two months before the flight???? They're playing a game with their customers. Anyways, I booked a cheaper flight then at a less convenient time. So fast forward two months the night before the 7 AM flight, they sent me an email at midnight when I was sleeping to let me know that my flight at 7 AM had been canceled. The only thing they offered was a flight that night from from a different airport (Providence) to a different airport in Florida (West Palm Beach) or a flight two days later. No compensation, nothing. They couldn't of tried to get another plane to the Boston airport? They had all night to do it. I passed on their ridiculous options and flew with Delta and it was a great experience. Of course, I had to pay a lot more booking on the same day, but JetBlue doesn't care. I put in a lengthy complaint with the agent who assured me someone would get back to me by email within three days and I haven't heard a thing. JetBlue used to be a good company but now they're among the worst. The only thing they still have is decent legroom, but the corporate bean counters will probably start taking that away too.

We were made to wait in the airport for six hours for a flight that was ultimately canceled.

It was a pretty smooth flight, I tend to get mini anxiety attacks during flights, however, this time was pretty smooth and I was able to relax. The only thing, I was having issues to connect to the Flyfi internet. I was not able to connect at all, I turned off my phone a couple times and didnt work.

Both flights were significantly delayed. The flight experience itself was great.

My flight got delayed and eventually canceled, then rescheduled. I and several others had a connection from Boston to Paris and asked several times if we would make it. They assured us we would and then rebooked us mid flight without our consent and closed doors early even though they said they communicated we were a bit delayed. We got stranded in Boston and I opted with being rebooked for a different connection to France since they refused to pay for a Hotel. I've now been in Europe for 5 days and still haven't recieved my bags. There was absolutely no urgency for the fact that I'm in a foreign country with absolutely no change of clothes or any of my medication. Such an overwhelming and frustrating experience.

Very smooth flight, good legroom with the "even more room" seats. Entertainment choice was excellent, wifi on board, plane was modern. Pilot got a round of applause for a smooth landing in very blustery conditions. Love flying with them. Check in was OK too. We were too early so we had to wait until groundstaff showed up 3hrs before the flight.

Automated scanning was slow and somewhat haphazard. Too many people were unfamiliar with the tech and were forced to learn on the fly. The hands off approach of the gate staff made it more uncomfortable. This needs work. Overall the flight and cabin crew were excellent.

The crew for the flight was A+ top notch. They were friendly and professional and made the flight a very relaxing and enjoable.

Rude crew member. She seemed annoyed at me without me saying a single word. Also loudly admonished me for having my bag next to my seat instead of tucked away before landing. Just telling me to put it away and guiding me without giving me a lecture would have been enough.

No included food for a 5 hour flight and the entertainment was only accessible if you had wired headphones (not provided). Otherwise though, great and smooth flying and customer service.

I was double booked for my ticket- they have record of it and admitted to their error but wouldn’t let me board until I paid once again for the fare- have documentation of their mistake -

Horrible experience!! In the meantime we were in Philadelphia they didn’t give us some water and the information about the fly on the plane was without empathy!!! Plus the fly started with delay!! So very unhappy moment!!!

I was not informed via text about flight delay and gate change. There should have been a notice by the original gate letting us know that there was a change. A half hour before original flight time we realized there was no one there and were told that the gate was changed so we ran across the airport (I was traveling with my aunt who is in her upper 60s) to try to make the flight and then saw that the flight was actually delayed an hour . If you can do something for us to makeup for this we would appreciate it. Thank you

Terrible. Poor communication from staff about why we were trapped on the plane for over two hours before even departing. Terrible customer service from flight attendants. Incredibly uncomfortable seats

Forgot my anxiety pills, crew didn’t knew what to do then few minutes after they gave me a bottle of water and told me to walk thru the hall. They should be trained for this kinds of situations cause it really would help someone. Tips: bottle of water (airports should allow passengers at least having them thru) for this kinds of situations. Alcohol wipes just in case they don’t have. Tap water on skin (preferably little cold or a normal temperature) this will help.

All of our flights were canceled, though every other airline was flying out and in

Even though the plane was delayed from the previous airport, the staff recognized this and kept us informed. The flight crew was absolutely awesome from on my flight from Ft. Meyers to AC. Great experience all around!

didn't order food on board. there's no way to hold a water botton on the way. otherwise it was a pleasant flight, thanks to the crew.

Even though there was a delay the crew was exceptional.

Everything went well. The flight was slightly delayed however we landed on time.
