My seat had a worn out cushion, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, the flight was excellent.

My seat had a worn out cushion, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, the flight was excellent.

I love the e fact that the staff communicated swiftly when my flight was delayed and gate number changed

The flight from LA to Chicago was smooth and service was very good overall.

Boarding was quick and efficient. We arrived at our destination early.

Rough flight No beverage service due to turbulence Bottom Seat cushion was non existent

They are rarely on time! Very hard to plan your travels when flights or connections keep getting delayed.

Everything was on time, we arrived early, everything worked well.

Apart from the delay due to unforeseen circumstances. The leg from sjc to dfw was fine. It was the leg from dfw to orf that we encountered issues mainly due to the flight attendant crew not being friendly. We had two small children and we needed some assistance to warm up milk so the baby would sleep. The crew just didn’t get it and made things very difficult. One made a remark that the baby’s dirty diaper smell was a “gift” to the plane in a rude way. Normally I’d brush that off as a funny comment if the rest of the trip the attendants were helpful or understanding of the difficulty we faced. But that wasn’t the case. We were met with rudeness on the second leg. Whereas on the first leg the crew were so nice and helpful.

Excellent pilots in an extremely foggy situation. Very good communication with the passengers about possibly being diverted to another airport.

Deicing in Denver took forever and I almost missed my connection. De-ice faster! Not Americans fault.
