Cons: "It wasn't as comfortable as I'm used to with first class, the beverage service wasn't very good and I just didn't get the service I'm used to when flying first class. They also left my bag behind in LA that's completely unacceptable as a first class customer my luggage should be priority"

Cons: "On my return flight, the seat did not recline."
Cons: "I was seated at the emergency exit, seat 17a. Flight attended tells everyone that were responsible to open the emergency door and we must know english. For some crazy reason she singles me out and says "you understand that sir". My neighbor in seat 17b said "she told you off hahaha". I was embarrassed."

Pros: "Comfortable seats and nice crew."

El servicio a bordo excelente, Pablo una gran persona, pero el atraso en la salida fue demasiado
Pros: "Enjoyed the friendliness of the crew"
Cons: "The media on this flight was a little outdated"
Pros: "Yes the crew was great."
Cons: "It was a short 2.5 hr flight. Jet blue provided packaged snacks and a soft drink at no additional charge. Other airlines charge for everything. A carry on and a handbag were also allowed which others don't. The seats are leather and have more room. Seems Jet Blue is the last one of those traditional airlines giving more for your money. Thank you Jet Blue ! I am sold."
Pros: "Los asientos amplios"
Cons: "The snack bar, Couoh he better"
Cons: "Flight was 3 1/2 hours delayed. In-flight entertainment system didn’t function. They didn’t perform a beverage/snack service. Very poor overall. Disappointing."
Pros: "Free Wifi is great, the plane hugged the coast so it worked for most of the flight. The snacks are decent albeit limited."
Cons: "The baggage check-in system was completely down for over an hour. They didn't communicate to the throngs of people and by luck the system slowly came back up with just enough time to clear security and board."
Cons: "Two hour delay between boarding and then sitting on the runway."
Pros: "Our flight was delayed a grand total of 5 hours"
Cons: "They could’ve had a backup plane more readily available"
Pros: "Crew and seat were good."

Cons: "The touch screen on my seat didn’t work, but the side control did, so I could still watch movies."
Pros: "The seat was good, snacks is good."
Cons: "I wish the crew would did a little more to ask the people behind me stop playing the loud music and talking loud. Also rap music with bad language with children next to it is not a good idea. I actually like rap but not listening loud with the speaker on with kids in the plane is not considerate."
Pros: "Crew handled a health situation very well. Never lost their composure."
Cons: "Not having our luggage lost"
Cons: "Delays on both sides. Empty plane blocking our arrival... come on that is horrible considering the flight was delayed departing"
Cons: "Wasn't their fault but it was a pretty turbulent flight. It's winter and we flew NY to Costa Rica, this is expecteddue to the wind, in the winter, in warmer climates. you could tell the pilot was doing his best to avoid turbulence though & the staff were ultra professional."
Pros: "Aircraft nice, clean and modern"
Cons: "Entertainment had technical issues."
Pros: "Leg room and personal item room under the aisle seat is good. Crew was good. Flight was on time. There was room for carry-on bag this time."
Cons: "Wrong terminal info in JFK air train. Wrong gate info on JFK monitors. Wrong flight info on Gate monitor (bermuda instead of burbank). Seat TV stopped working. Narrow seats. Food sold before drinks, drinks should be first. Rear deplaning never worked due to some problem. Laptop space cramped."
Pros: "Plenty of room and empty seat next to me"
Cons: "Long walk from parking to terminal at JFK"
Cons: "The flight was delayed for like an hour"
Pros: "Everything went well and the lines wasent bad moved pretty fast"
Cons: "So first thing before takeoff one flight attendant told someone to turn there music down because it could be heard outside of the headphones, but then proceeded to talk extremely loud throughout the entire flight to the other attendants. It was a 6am flight and mostly everyone was trying to sleep, but she was so loud that I gave up after trying to. If you tell someone else to be quiet because of sleeping passengers, I recommend you follow your own advice."
Pros: "Personnel were great, flight left on time and arrived early! The rratings for food and entertainment do not apply, since I was not offered either. This was fine with me on the short flight."
Cons: "No complaints"
Pros: "Legroom is better than most other airlines and crew was very nice"
Cons: "We were delayed on the runway after boarding for an hour and arrived in Burbank an hour late. My screen was broken and I was unable to access any movies or tv shows. Finally, they ran out of meals early on in the flight."
Pros: "Staffs was very attentive and sweet. They made sure I was ok, provided snacks and drinks. Pilot said hello to me and my sister and we had a short chat, I felt very happy with the staffs friendliness and attentiveness."
Cons: "Everything was great! There was a small delay, and that’s all."
Cons: "Once again, on this flight, I, my wife, and our 2-year-old were split up. This time, we were all placed in different rows. Way to go JetBlue! Thankfully, on this flight we had people who were decent enough to trade seats with us (probably because it was only two seats to an aisle, and therefore, no middle seats) so we could be together. Shouldn't have to do this though. PUT FAMILIES TOGETHER ON PLANES, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN."
Pros: "Crew was great."
Cons: "There was a mechanical issue which delayed boarding, but they tried to accommodate accordingly."
Pros: "Ample leg space, super clean, very amiable staff, free media, all round excellent. Positive feel."
Cons: "Liked everything"
Pros: "Flew to JFK from Jax and back and both flights left on time. Return flight landed 30 minutes early. Seats were comfortable enough. Movies were good. Flight crews attentive"
Cons: "Nothing was bad"
Pros: "The flight was delayed about an hour because the caterer was late in arriving to plenish the plane with supplies. The 'live TV" by DierectTV worked for about 10 minutes during the 4.5 hours of flight. The crew was at a loss of how to deal with the situation."
Cons: "Should ask me what did I like instead. We arrived over an hour late in Orlando."
Pros: "Free WiFi was great, but wish I could sign in with my Amazon account instead of setting up TrueBlue."
Cons: "The food cart rushed by without asking if we wanted anything. Also not clear until after food purchase that free snacks would be available throughout the flight."
Pros: "New plane with self service snacks and drinks."
Cons: "Mechanical problems delayed the flight one hour."
Cons: "I arrived 2 hours early. Security lines were long. I had to run to the gate as they announced that the plane doors were closing 20 minutes before takeoff."
Pros: "Very impressed by JetBlues seats- feels bigger than seats for international flights!!"
Cons: "Inflight entertainment was relatively new and varied but remember to bring ur own headphones!! Esp those newer iPhone owners!!"
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "My flight was delayed"
Cons: "Our prior flight arrived 30 minutes late and we had to run to the opposite side of the airport. We were there before the departure time but the staff gave us a hard time saying they were going to lock the doors on us. It wasn't until the flight crew ran up behind us that they finally didn't have an attitude and said we were fine. Online entertainment didn't work, no shows, the map doesn't have a time or useful info. My row was skipped by the crew for snacks. The guy came from behind first, which I didn't see and then one the way back, he didn't even look at my row or the row in front of me."
Pros: "The crew was friendly."
Cons: "The boarding policy changes are confusing. No longer boarding from the rear of the plane and no explanation of how to board sooner without buying an extra space seat. Also the seats are less comfortable."
Pros: "Left on time. Quick, smooth flight. Arrived early. Couldn't have been better!"
Pros: "The customer service was amazing!"
Cons: "The flight was about an hour delayed."
Pros: "Great service, delightful crew, flight went in a smooth and timely manner. Very satisfied."
Cons: "Although the seat had enough of leg space, the folding table in a back of the chair in front of me was malfunctioning, crooked and unstable to a certain degree; I could not push the back seat down. But over all my experience was good"
Pros: "the extra room"
Cons: "My flight was cancelled due to weather (understandable) but jet blues customer service desk was very unfriendly and not helpful"
Pros: "extra leg room that I purchased."
Cons: "gate personnel were rude. called passengers by group, then told them they were blocking the way for other passengers! flight attendants had no personality and didn't interact with passengers I will not fly with this company in the future."
Pros: "They got us on quickly, and the flight arrived quicker than expected."
Cons: "The line for security was poorly managed, tried talking to multiple employees and they all ignored me, and on the plane there was no wifi, and I tried to flag down a flight attendant for water but they never came to the back of the plane."
Pros: "Flight attendant relocated me to exit aisle (see below)."
Cons: "My seat's headphone jack didn't work. Annoying for a long flight --they should be frequently checked and maintained."
Cons: "First off the TSA line was changed right in the middle of waiting in it. They combined two lines into one giant line, putting the other line in front of my line. I know part of this is TSA, but JetBlue has some pull/say in how their terminal works. This doubled my TSA wait time resulting in a 1hr 15 min wait for security. Second, the flight was 20 minutes delayed. Not the best JetBlue day."
Pros: "There was a delay on my flight from Dubai to New York... as a result I missed my flight to Rochester. Now I am being told to rebook the flight and pay full price. I am getting the short end of the stick here. This is totally rip off"
Cons: "Flight departed 2 hrs late. No jet blue personnel were at the gate for hours, and offered no assistance with connections or alternate arrangements. Never had such a poor experience."
Cons: "Tv, internet did not work majority of the flight, air was not that high."
Pros: "The check in process with Jet Blue is always seamless and quick. Great communication. I enjoyed the free wi-fi and under-the-seat outlets. Also love how refreshments are available to grab at anytime."
Cons: "The sound on the movies, etc. is terrible! And half the time the screens don't work."
Pros: "Everything Entertainment Early landing"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "Very good"
Pros: "Fast easy flight"
Cons: "I think all was very good"

Pros: "You're kidding!!!"
Cons: "Seating 3 across. the passenger on the isle seat got served and the other passenger and myself were ignored. NO SERVICE!"
Cons: "Very bad service, airline unrespectfull, discortesy"
Pros: "surprisingly spacious seats. plane felt brand new. on screen entertainment was great, and relieved to have charging inputs for my device in the seat."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I came from a long trip from France, the seat I was assigned was not reclinable, close to the restroom.

Cons: "My 'window' seat had no window! Feeling was claustrophobic"
Pros: "First class flight attendant shantee was fantastic. Breakfast was strange menu...but tssted ok."
Cons: "Better menu choice."
Pros: "I was seated in economy comfort. Compared with Delta's Econoomy Comfort, I felt that the KLM seat had more legroom and greater recline."
Cons: "The dinner was awful. No choice of meal. Everyone got a small plastic contained filled with macaroni in tomator sauce. Nothing else. Incredibly bad. Breakfast was better. Sausage and eggs, melon, yoghurt. But who is in the mood to eat at 2 am?"
Cons: "THE FLIGHT WAS 5 HOURS LATE"
Pros: "Great service from boarding to landing"
Pros: "Amazing crew and clean cabin."
Cons: "I checked two bags and paid for them. The flight was full. I dutifully got in line for zone two. Next thing you know, at least 25 people got to board early and have free bag check. Really? I should get $35 dollar refund."
Pros: "When I finally got off the plane"
Cons: "Everything. No instructions, no pens or pencils, ignorant staff. Got to Cancun and waited 2 hours with no directions to just go they immagration. The forms were in Spanish and the staff could not translate. I’ll never fly Delta again."
Cons: "This was my worst EVER airline experience. It was delayed 27 hours and the snow was not the only problem. When we finally got on board a plane we sat on the runway for over two hours - then they FORGOT to load the luggage!!!"
Pros: "Great experience. Left on time and landed early. Comfortable and great crew"
Cons: "Wish there were more snack options"
Pros: "The flight was very smooth and the landing also was very good. The selection of movie are plenty."
Cons: "Flight cancelled due to weather that was never bad but on the potential of bad weather. Had to scramble so my 18 year old son was not stranded overnight in a strange place and Delta does not help. Only rebooked a flight itinerary for the next day for a 4 hour flight with connections on a 1 hour direct flight. Spent an hour on line to figure out what to do. #neverdelta"
Pros: "Attentive, respectful and nice crew, swift take off and landing and awesome views"
Cons: "Nothing. Everything went well"
Pros: "Almost everything."
Pros: "Everything escept the seat that was too small. I also had problems with the entertainment when trying to see movies."
Cons: "Seats too small ant could not watch Movies beacause the screen was defective."
Pros: "I usually have had great experiences with Delta. The meal selection was limited. By the time they made it up to my seat they had run out of what we wanted. Also, the entertainment system at my seat and my husbands wasn’t working well. One of the bathrooms had a cabinets Tvst oliiiooooiiooooioiooiiiooiio"
Pros: "Smooth flight in time. Didn't realize would have to go thru another TSA security check point. Otherwise smooth flight, great communication from the captain."
Cons: "Cramped seats and the food wasn't that great. Plus final meal was served late which lead to quick eating and feeling rushed."
Pros: "I liked that we got to my return destination early"
Cons: "The were no outlets and the wifi was not working. That's a big deal for me because I needed to do work on the plane!"
Pros: "The flight was calm"
Cons: "What I didn’t like is the inconviece where we had to change flight hour and aircraft and move to another one and we were delay for one all hour plus the 3 hours that we were there before the hour of departure that is really really bad"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "In between Delta and Aeromexico changed my flight and made me travel more than 24 hours. In addition, I was traveling with a suitcase and nobody was able to pick it up for me. Layover time was 6 hours originally. Service from Aeromexico at JFK is the worst"
Pros: "Space looked a bit cramped in business class but I was pleasantly surprised at the length of the flat bed and the additional foot well space once I'd reclined the seat."
Cons: "Need to fix the flickering lights in the JFK club lounge, the opposite of relaxing!"
Pros: "I got off the flight at out side,but i forgot to carried my small bag .and then the Crew returned me the bag very soon.they were very kind,thank you very much."
Pros: "Delta never used to be my first choice in airlines, but of my recent experience with them has been excellent. The people from the counter to the plane have been professional and courteous. This is why I will fly with them more frequently."
Pros: "Movies"
Cons: "Lack of legroom in economy"
Pros: "Overall the actual flight was good..landing was kind of hard but I'm alive so not stressing that"
Cons: "..but the multiple delays are ridiculous, I would not fly Delta if I had a feasible choice."
Pros: "The staff tried their best to help out with the situation. They passed out waters and apologized. I always love the Delta entertainment (so many great selections)!"
Cons: "Stuck in the plane without AC for an hour! We were stuck behind 14 other planes in line to take off and I understand delays happen but the AC wasn't working for some reason and it was extremely hot. The passengers were all super uncomfortable. I wish if they knew we were going to be delayed that they would let us just wait at the gate vs. suffer in the sauna plane."
Pros: "Service from the crew."
Cons: "Quality and comfort of seats. Quality of food. The TV screen was from the 80s."
Pros: "The boarding was efficient"
Cons: "Three hour departure delay. No explanation given. No apology."
Pros: "Everything was pretty good like usual, except when we landed we sat on the runway for 45 minutes waiting for a gate as ours was occupied by a plane that was having mechanical issues. Not great."
Cons: "Flight was delayed for very 4 hrs sat in plane for 2.5 of those. Flight was delayed dye to strike in Barcelona. But replacement plane had fueling problems delaying the flight another 2 hours"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "3.5 hour delay due to lack of co-pilot. No consessions for delay when asked at gate. Lack of leg room. Broken tv, I asked twice to be fix nothing was ever done."
Pros: "The flight was on schedule and landed early, and the pilot landed that plane very gently. It was quite impressive."
Cons: "I purchased a first class ticket in hopes that I would have a lot more comfort during the flight. It took me quite some time to get comfortable. The seat was ok, but I found the pillows to be very small and flat. I needed multiple pillows. The head rest was not adjustable, so I also found this to be uncomfortable. Usually when I fly AA, the headrest is adjustable. My final dislike was that the beverage selection was limited. I'm quite sure there was plenty of alcohol, but what about those customers who do not drink alcoholic beverages? I asked for hot chocolate, there was none. I asked for hot tea with honey, there wasn't any. So all in all my flight was okay, but that is solely because of the flight attendant and pilot. They did their jobs and they did an excellent job."
Cons: "Most everything was excellent, however my 2 year old daughter's in seat entertainment screen wasn't working. It was a full flight and there was no option to change seats. I brought it to the flight attendants attention however she wasn't able to reset it. A 7-hour flight from NY to Zurich travelling with small children without the movies was not as pleasant as it could have been."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "First day our flight got canceled 1 hour before leaving the airport. No good explanation given. Planes were landing and departing from Columbus just our flight got cancelled which made no sense. Over the phone no one was really helpful. Very bad experience with Delta"
Pros: "At least the plane didn't return to the gate and we departed 7 hours late."
Cons: "All the delays and gate changes with no explanations and only informed via text message. The weather wasn't even that bad. Missed the connecting flight to Bucharest and part of vacation time."
Pros: "Delta Comfort seats"
Cons: "Delta employee who drive shuttle to connection stopped to drop off a passenger and proceed to chat w other workers thereby getting me to my gate late and missing my connection and getting me to Florida almost 3 hours later than planned. Agents at desk in JFK were rude. There was another Delta employee also on the shuttle who was the only one who seemed to show concern. He alerted the driver, called the boarding gate and led me to it."
Pros: "Good entertainment with games for kids, movies etc."
Cons: "No meals (5+ of flying), need to buy earphones, no place for hand lauggudge"
Pros: "The crew from SYD to LAX was absolutely excellent! The food is always plenty and hot, and I really appreciate being given a whole bottle of water. Also, thank you for leaving snacks out for us especially those who sleep through the meal service. Very satisfied with the airline so far!"
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "My flight got cancelled. Terrible customer service. My bags didn't travel with me. My vacation got screwed up."
Pros: "That there was seltzer"
Cons: "The management of preparing the flight and plane so that it was ready for the trip!!"

Cons: "They didn't have any food I could eat, except for an incredibly small salad. The crew informed me that I could have requested a special meal 24 hrs in advance, but that information was sadly provided too late."
Pros: "Crew was very understanding of our frustration and di the best they could do within their range(which wasn't much to be honest)"
Cons: "Poor job in the gate at boarding and with announces, we were held in the the runway for about an hour plus without proper indication of why, all the could say was "bad weather". Non-stop turbulence and food wasn't served until good 3 plus hours into the flight, (remember to add that to the time we were held at the runway as well). Entertainment on board was extremely limited."
Pros: "The seat was OK"
Cons: "The flight was delayed 2 hours on departure and the reason for the delay was never communicated.

This was a delightful airline to discover! (This was a portion of my first trip booked on Avianca.)"

Pros: "Sat next to my boyfriend. Window seat. Affordable and no long layover."

Neither of these was true. despite asking 2 airport employees only the 3rd, right before we boarded told us that the "screens were not updated." For an experienced traveler even, this was misleading and confusing. I also wish the attendants escorted people off row by row and not all the pushing of people from the back trying to exit first. Chaos."

Pros: "Very professional service, nice people, newer airplane, plenty of entertainment options, got my luggage where it needed to go despite 2 connections."
Cons: "I was put in a seat before the exit row, meaning my chair did not recline for a 5 hour flight. In addition, the seat in front of me was at least 3-5 inches closer than any other seat on the plane. I understand there are these seats on the plane, I just wish I would have known prior or been given the option to change seats."
Pros: "Going from Washington DC to Lima, Peru with stop in San Salvador is great because break the trip in half and San Salvador is a small airport. Going to Peru my two planes were very comfortable and with good entreatment"
Cons: "No blankets on my way back"
Pros: "The food was good and the crew was nice"
Pros: "No problems, no hassles."
Cons: "The TV shows and movies available are nice, but the equipment doesn't work very well. Sometimes the controls are not responsive, and sometimes the video freezes for a long time or the sound turns off. If you restart the video, you can't skip back to where you were by touching the progress bar, you have to wait for it to fast forward to where you were."
Cons: "I was not informed of having to pay $150 extra for having a surfboard, very disapointing"
Pros: "on time, personal tv screens, nice crew, served food and drinks in a timely fashion-- absolutely nothing bad to say about this flight."
Pros: "Having an electronic screen for each seat, and being able to watch movies/tv shows for no additional charge, was an awesome feature. Obviously most patrons would like to have that available on every flight."
