Flights to Bethesda: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Bethesda 
JerryFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Always watch the flight connection window. If it is less than an hour and changing concourses (like Dulles), you're asking for trouble (have your travel insurance contact number ready). Of course, that doesn't apply to American or United Airlines as they are typically late. If you get an Embraer 175 or larger aircraft, you will have a great flight. If longer than two hour flight, hope you don't get a Boeing 757 aircraft - the most ungodly uncomfortable sardine can with wings, ever made. Have a chiropractor or massage specialist waiting at your destination. If you have a 757 for Trans-Atlantic or Trans-Pacific flights, choose business class seats.
DaVonyaFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
If flying from Tampa to DC, I would recommend considering other airlines over American Airlines for this route. My experience involved nearly 10 delays and a departure that was over 5 hours late with minimal communication or accommodations. For this route, Southwest and JetBlue tend to offer more reliable schedules and better customer service when things go wrong. If you do fly American, book an earlier flight in the day to reduce the risk of cascading delays, and keep in mind that their delay accommodations may be limited to a small food voucher regardless of how long you are stranded.
IndivarFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2026
For a work trips, consider booking an Airline with multiple daily flights in case you might want standby for an earlier return flight.
Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Jun 2026
Check in online, get your boarding pass and go directly to the gate unless you have checked baggage.
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
Check a map and take the train between gates. Signage is terrible. Detroit has allowed restaurants and boarding to spill out into the concourse, so can be a recurring narrow struggle through crowds walking between gates. If you see food you want, get it. Not as many food options, and not many healthy food options, as it would appear along concourse A.
NguyenFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026
Check in desk immediately when you come in the doors on the left of door 215. Get TSA touchless before the flight—the line is so much shorter.
PeterFlew with Austrian Airlines-Mar 2026
Syracuse is a joy to fly from because it has such a short check in time.
Putri ArumFlew with Japan Airlines-Mar 2026
Bring your own foods. There should also be a disclaimer on the ticket that foods will not be provided although this is a relatively long flight.
GailFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2026
American to DCA is great because they arrive and depart from Terminal T which is the closest terminal to the airport entrance/exit. No need to hike/take the train to one of the other terminals where Delta, the most prevalent airline at ATL has flights.
LaToyaFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2026
Get Pre-Check to be able to get through Hartsfield-Jackson’s checkpoint quickly.

Make sure you eat a heavy meal before boarding the flight.
SuzetteFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2025
Take a shower before arriving at airport and don't wear perfume at all! Pack bags tight, so boarding is smooth and quick.

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.

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.

Fairly good - the seats seemed more comfortable on this flight. The staff out of Detroit were quite friendly. But they directed us to the wrong carousel for luggage. :(

I liked the new boarding process. I thought the buyup options (legroom, early boarding) to be easy to request and reasonably priced. All the Southwest team from gate to in-flight were so nice.

Flight coming out of Buffalo was delayed, so we had to be rescheduled on another flight from Baltimore to Phoenix which means we had a long layover and got home 3.5 hours late. Shuttle to parking stopped at 10pm, so we had to pay for an Uber to the parking lot and got charged an extra day of parking since it was after midnight. Not the best experience. Long day!

Southwest continues to do less for more money. Flight attendants used to be fun and friendly. But now it’s like they don’t even see you. Such a shame.

I liked it better when you were truer to your roots Am paying more for less fun

We had a 5 hour delay on the tarmac in Baltimore

Long layover between flights to Long Island from BWI - need better coordination between flights

The last 3 flights between BWI and BDL canceled the beverage service mid- way. Just say up front that the fight is too short. Thanks!

I was assigned seat 7E, yet my boarding was Group 5, which caused me to have to put my luggage in the back of the plance above `19 or 20 aisle, as passengers who had boarded earlier took the overhead bins in the front. SW needs to monitor bin space and ensure that bin space above the seat are aligned to those sitting near their seats. Also the seating assignments needs to align with group number. Maybe board those last first and so on? Having said the ALL the passengers on the plane were gracious enough to allow me and other passengers in this dilema to retrieve our luggage and helped us along the way. I always love the flight staff, as always their fantastic and I can't rave about them enough!

Flight was delayed at airport with large backlog and WiFi was spotty

I don’t like mushrooms and that’s all they had with pasta

I Love Delta but one of the flight crew training in courtesy snd hospitality.

I don't know why the crew decided to board 15 minutes early without informing anyone not at the gate. Why would you have the app send a notification that we're boarding on time, instead board early, and then rush me to the gate. Then have me check my carry-on when I specifically packed my bag as to not do so.

Could have been on time and not missed my connection

I love how the flight crews are now saying what the weather will be like, when we can expect to be able to get up and use the restrooms etc. I have to say also that our flight crews this trip were incredible - fast and courteous - and somehow managed to do the service even on these short flights with a few bumps. The only reason for an ok rating on entertainment was because these short flights are on planes without seatback displays but that's ok because I just download shows on my iPhone beforehand.

Flight was delayed and we were on the runway after landing for 30 mins

DTW line is too long. The flights from DTW to BWI are always delayed for unknown reasons.

Service was good for such a short flight. Small plane but smooth flight.

Could not hear any of the announcements. The speakers seemed out of service. I wish the entertainment system would allow me to watch on my own iPad than the airplane ‘s old display.

Very disappointing that on an international business class flight they would not give me access to the lounge in Boston. They said it was because it was a codeshare flight. International business class should include lounge access regardless of codeshare.

They did not have free WIFI and I was not okay with that!

Baggage claim signs were not updated with my flight information, so I had to guess. The app wasn't updated either.

Not being stranded in Chicago for her airport to 11:30 tomorrow morning the 3rd

Everything was great. Only thing that could’ve made it better was buy on board options for hot food, but the snacks were decent. The flight attendants were great. I had no complaints. I was able to make it to my destination safely

David went above and beyond to make our flight the best that it could be

The crew and flight was amazing. I haven't flown United in years but plan to switch to you being my main airline

Wouldn’t let me check in said couldn’t find a ticket had to wait very long Time

Seat cushions were worn down and it hurts as I seated under 5 hours of the plane ride.

I wish I had another choice. Domestic flight in the USA is atrocious.

American Airlines put the food on the wrong plane which had already taken off by the time we took off so we had no food on the plane.

With weather and severe delays it was disappointing we didn't receive any compensation for the 5 hour delay. Not even a food voucher.

ATL to CLT return flight. Delayed way too severely. Had to cancel the return flight.

I've flown American several times this summer and I have yet to get a flight that leaves on time. However, a delay is better than a cancel. So far I have had four canceled flights and two delayed flights

Every time I fly American they end up delaying the flight significantly and claim it’s due to weather, however, it was a beautiful clear sunny day in Dallas today. Unfortunately, these significant delays occur more often than not which I don’t experience on any other airlines. Yet American Airlines consistently faults the weather and never holds itself accountable for the poor and unorganized service. I will keep my business with Delta, United, and JetBlue going forward. American Airlines should not be part of the “Big 3” considering United and Delta are light years ahead. JetBlue is also much ahead of American. American needs to step up big time

Seems like the ac wasn’t working. It was super hot

5 hours delay - minimum communication, no compensation, no support from Airline. Terrible customer experience

Flight was delayed, boarded, sat at the gate for more than 30 minutes, left the gate then waited on the pad for another 30 to 60 minutes then returned to the gate, deboarded and was cancelled... alternative flight was not booked automatically. Waited in line for 30 minutes but fortunately an alternate flight to a different destination was found ... no thanks to the travel agent used by kayak

The flight changed gates multiple times and flight had to be delayed multiple times

I like that the crew kept us informed but we moved back and forth from gate to gate before the aircraft arrived.

My ATL–CVG Frontier flight was disappointing due to both an operational issue and unprofessional customer service. After everyone had boarded and the aircraft had pushed back from the gate, we were delayed because the passenger count did not match the flight manifest. The crew counted passengers approximately six times before the aircraft returned to the gate and gate agents boarded to help resolve the discrepancy. We were ultimately advised that a family had been allowed to board but not all of their boarding passes had been properly scanned. This resulted in a departure delay of nearly an hour. I did appreciate that the pilot kept passengers informed and tried to reassure us that some of the delay could be recovered during the flight. My greater concern was the customer-service experience. I am a Frontier Elite Platinum member and was seated within the first five rows. When I boarded, the overhead bins near my seat were already closed. I opened two bins to see whether my small backpack would fit. A female flight attendant sharply told me that a closed bin meant it was full, although the second bin clearly had available space. When I tried to ask whether I could simply place my backpack in that available space, she ignored me. Later, while the gate agents were working to resolve the passenger-count problem, I heard the same flight attendant make jokes about how many gate agents it takes to count passengers. She then made unnecessary comments about the male gate agent doing the count, men thinking they can do things better than women, and women knowing better and outliving men. Later in the flight, she also commented that passengers should know that the first thing they need to do is always be nice to the flight attendants. Courtesy absolutely should go both ways. Flight attendants deserve respect from passengers, but passengers also deserve respectful and professional treatment from the crew. Joking about colleagues who were actively trying to correct an operational problem, making gender-based comments in front of passengers, and being dismissive toward a passenger asking a simple baggage question were unnecessary and unprofessional. I fly enough to understand that delays and mistakes happen. What determines the quality of the experience is how those situations are handled. Unfortunately, the customer-service attitude on this flight made an already frustrating operational delay considerably worse.

Did not get on the flight, they had a gate change and my app never updated me! Trying to get flight credit

Flight was delayed by about an hour, once we arrived at LAX we had to take a shuttle to the baggage claim - it was completely disorganized. The agents at the shuttles were rude and unable to provide any information. Frontier charges extra for everything from bags to drinks - at the end it ends up being more expensive than flying the better airlines

Sat in the airport waiting for my flight for 5 hours. Finally got on the plane only to be thrown off and told that my flight was cancelled. Zero customer service. Nobody spoke to us. Just the worst

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!!!

Inbound plane was on time and flight departed on time with no issues while boarding.

After boarding and un-boarding twice over 6+hours, the flight was canceled.

The Boarding process in Denver was chaotic, and since the line was so long, we were lined up very far from the gate. If there were any announcements from the gate staff, we didn't hear them. The flight attendants were spectacular. The only negative part of the flight was sitting by a 2 1/2 year old who was unruly and unfortunately had parents that matched his behaviors. Also, the restaurants in Denver on the E concourse, they didn't have food (passengers could only order 1 item on the entire menu) or the restaurants had 12-14 people waiting for orders to be prepared and another 6 people waiting to order. If you have a layover in Denver and need to grab food, be prepared to visit the shops with pre-packaged sandwiches, or you can visit another concourse but it may take a while to transit throughout the airport.

30 minute delay due to boarding and settling of a family.

Flight was fine, but the legroom between seats for taller passengers is very tight and bad on the knees. I t is very hard to find an angle, that works, especially on a long flight!!!
