Mostly excellent. However, many too many gate changes. Connecting flight at ORD changed gate 6 times.

Mechanical issues and delays. I get it but bad experience. Turned my 3 hour airport experience into a 9 hours

The baggage process at the gate was terrible. Stay was not friendly at all

Flight was delayed because of mechanical. Could not get landing space which caused me to miss my connection. Messy and not organized.

We landed slightly early but then sat in holding area waiting for our gate to clear out for about an hour, so technically we arrived one hour late at the gate at ORD. The airport may be partially responsible here, but regardless of who is responsible, it was a bad experience to be so close yet unable to get off the plane.

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

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

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

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.
