Maybe different snack selection. To much sodium in them. I know refrigerators are not available but there has to be healthier items.

Wasn't expecting this, but, we actually ended up getting assigned to the first row of seats!!!!! The extra legroom came in handy

Flights delays were communicated timely and helpfully, but there was a significant delay without any real effort to make up for that. Also, the in-flight WiFi was very spotty. That said, this was my first time with Southwest and I was quite happy with the service and staff otherwise.

Delayed and once landed waited very long for the luggage

Eveeyrime I fly they are begging for bags due to cabin overhead space. What they should so ia take the bags that are clearly too big to fit wheels first on their side. And those of us who give up the bag should really get their bags first. When boarding, nobody wants stupid jokes about how hot it is on board. Give us some cool air. Im usually sick from the heat by the time we take off.

Everything was on time. I was disappointed by the front section female, African American flight attendant. I did not see her name tag or would have identified by name not race. As passengers moved to the bathroom early in flight, she would say with a disdainful tone “I have to say the seat belt light is on” then go back to her book. Better trained flight attendants say something like be careful the seat belt light is on.

WiFi on the flight was not working. Thus, entertainment options were limited.

Wish that they would space out the boarding a little. COVID is still around and is real. No entertainment. Miss the peanuts.

There were NO working plugs at the Sarasota Airport to charge your phone. Come on people can't you put something in while you renovate?

Worst southwest ride. First the flight was delayed and they toggled between departure times for hours. The plane flithy broken cookies on the floor, seat back pockets filled with trash. The plane smelled horrible. The crew didn’t seem to want to be there , tossing snacks from a passenger is Totally unacceptable.

Flight was delayed due to maintenance issue. Missed my connecting flight. Got rebooked in a middle seat when I had a first class ticket.

My boarding pass said gate E5. I arrived at gate E5 by 12:45pm. At 2:10pm, I received a phone call stating I was supposed to be at gate D37. They would not wait for me to get there (by the way, the plane was still there when I got to gate D37, but everything was closed and no one was at the door). The next flight at 7:40pm was sold out; was told I'd be put on the 9:47pm flight. I was so stressed, I became chokey (apparently I have mild asthma). By the grace of God, a lot of begging, and the customer service rep taking pity on me, I was able to get on a 4:50pm flight to Philadelphia.

Comfy and timely flight thanks to Cathay to all crew and the captain for our smooth landing.. above all thank You Lord for our Safe flight ❤️🙌🙏🏽

I have executive platinum status with American Airlines. It seems impossible to be upgraded anymore and I’m never offered a cheese plate or thanked for my loyalty.

In premium economy I was expecting a bit cleaner area. Tables were not very clean. Only one of us received a blanket and pillow. The food was okay. Probably a smidgen better than coach. The crew were very nice but should have done more walk through to at least pick up trash.

We had a 1 hour delay due to mechanical issues, then another hour, then 2, and eventually it was an 8 hour delay. The airport staff was confused about gate changes, as they were not getting good communication. They were trying, but we changed gates 5 times in one hour!

Horrible. Flight was delayed for 4 hours first till 7pm. Then for one more hour. Then again and around 9pm we were finally boarded and waited for catering delivery for another hour. At 10pm we were not interested on food at all. Tired, sleepy we arrived after midnight. Insane.

My flights were all delayed , mostly due to technical issues with AA aircrafts. I had to rebook my trip 4 times . I lost my whole day and finally arrived in LAX around midnight. This was a very bad experience with American airlines , I will always try to avoid flying with them

Flight was delayed multiple times and I chose to switch to another flight that had a layover. I finally arrived 7 hours later than I was supposed to.

A much better flight than our previous. The flight attendant took care of us and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything. Brought us drinks prior to the departure and then a couple more times. Totally makes the difference in how you travel when the crew is checking on their passengers. Great job on this leg of our trip.
