Late flight, screens not working and still had to pay for a drink

Late flight, screens not working and still had to pay for a drink

They changed my seat assignment from window to middle. I have a physical need to sit by the window because of spinal issues. I unboarded in pain, I also was placed between 2 very large men. I am very disappointed and now dealing with the physical aftermath.

The crew were awesome and ready to help as much as possible. The gate agent in Atlanta was tremendously helpful. The delays were ridiculous. Getting home at 4am when I could have driven home faster was unimpressive. Being delayed for countless hours through the night wasn't a great travel experience.

We sat at the gate for over 30 minutes, with no indication as to why

Flight Staff: Always great! Checking back vs carry-on: I typically check my bag since so much time is spent stowing the bag, it's heavy, maybe not enough room. Delta is charging $45 to check bags. Yet, the people who have multiple carry-on bags are then asked to check their bags and are offered this service for free. This does not seem fair to a person who is trying to be proactive in improving the process . Boarding: Boarding is always slow and exhausting. With the exception of First Class, Economy, why not board the zone in the back of the plane first??? Seats: Why cross the seat belts? I get that it looks nice, but people waste so much time moving them or sitting on them and then having to move. Seats: On both my flights the seat did not recline. Not a big deal. Smell: There was a horrific smell like the restrooms on my first flight. I thought I was going to be sick. Most flights do not smell great. Does Delta use air purifiers or anything?

DL482 did not wait for about 10 of us including a mother and 3 children when we were in the same terminal on DL486, where we were switching from waiting for a jet bridge fix, to moving to a neighboring gate. I understand taxiing delays are ok either but man. We only needed 5 more minutes. DL482 did not adjust from their times at all. This was my first time with Delta.

The actual flight was smooth and we arrived earlier than expected which was great. The flight attendants gave unclear instructions and were rude. They seemed overwhelmed or flustered for the flight. Inflight service was delayed and unsure why.

There needs to be better accommodations for waiting passengers. A a designated standing space that is separated and away from concourse traffic.

overall the crew onboarding and providing service during our flight was great; they were friendly and helpful. I said ok to the entertainment because there was none, but the crew explained why which was very helpful. I am a diabetic and the type of snacks are not diabetic friendly (full of carbs and sugar). However, I am always prepared because I know the catering is for the larger population.

Definitely a southern flavor. Cordiality was evident even though no drinks or snacks were served.

My overall experience with JetBlue was pretty poor and disappointing. We originally booked a DIRECT flight home from Boston on 9/28 at 8:00pm even though it cost more than the non direct flights. With no reason other than "unforeseen circumstances", our flight home Monday was cancelled and we were rebooked on a 7:00am flight on 9/29 with a layover in JFK. We were traveling with sick kids coming home from a funeral of a loved one and needed to be at work on Tuesday so paying extra for a flight home Monday was something we had to do. The original direct flights were considerably more expensive than the non direct flights- so I don't understand how Jetblue did absolutely NOTHING to compensate or right their mistake. We will not be booking with them in the future because they are not reliable and they showed no remorse nor did they make any attempt to make things right. The least they could have done was credit the difference in cost of flight because I know our original flights cost more than the one we were rebooked on. Once again- we will not be flying with them in the future and will advise family and friends to be aware of the risk you run when giving them your business. Do better.

Terrible. We originally booked a direct flight from BOS to MCO on 9/28 at 8:00pm and it was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and the flight we were rebooked on was on 9/29 at 7:00am with a layover in JFK. We were traveling with sick kids so leaving at such an early hour was absolutely miserable, and on top of that we all missed work which we couldn’t afford. On top of that- we paid a fortune for our flights to be direct without a layover and the flights with layovers were cheaper so at the very minimum we should have been refunded the difference. With absolutely no explanation or sympathy from JetBlue- we will avoid using them in the future due to the fact they aren’t reliable nor do they correct their mistakes.

Experience with JetBlue was poor. We were originally suppose to fly home on a direct flight on Monday the 28th at 8:00pm and we it was canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances” and we were rebooked on a 7am flight on Tuesday the 29th with a layover in JFK. Traveling with sick kids and waking up at an ungodly hour was miserable, and not only that it caused all of us to miss work. We intentionally flew our Monday on a direct flight and the direct flight was far more than the non direct flights on any given day. There was no compensation provided let alone a reasonable explanation. When you are charging people those type of prices for domestic same coast flights- you should be at least refunding the cost difference of the flights if you are rebooking them on a cheaper flight. I will never fly JetBlue again because they are unreliable and don’t correct their mistakes.

Wasn’t very happy with our flight home due to the fact it was cancelled with absolutely no reason. It was a direct flight at 8:00pm on Monday and they rebooked us for a 7am flight on Tuesday with a layover. Traveling with sick kids, getting up that early was miserable and on top of that we all missed a day of work that we couldn’t afford to with absolutely no apology or compensation from JetBlue. The original cost of the flights were astronomical because we flew out on Monday over Tuesday and also we paid extra for the direct flight then we would have for the flight with a layover. Super disappointed Jetblue truly could have cared less. Will avoid them in the future due to the fact they aren’t reliable nor compassionate for the inconvenience these changes cost their clients.

No WiFi, no power to charge phone, confusing boarding, delays

There is a considerable amount of people that use the wheel chair pre boarding along of large groups of family / friends. This is not right should be limited only to the person in need and the airline assistant. Some of these people use overhead bins that do not belong to them. The aircraft had a non functional wifi . The service was bad.

KUDOS TO ALL THE CREW PROVIDING ASSISTANCE WITH PASSENGERS ON A WHEELCHAIR. ON BOTH FLIGHTS THEY HUSTLED TO TAKE MY RELATIVE TO CONNECTION ON TIME. THEY DESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT!

First time flying JetBlue and my perception changed. Love it.

Very poor help no one answering a question regarding seating. Very rude staff. They don’t care, as if it’s not part of their job. Flight was delayed for no good reason and no apologies given.

The wifi didn't work and I needed to do some work. This was a business trip.

When we landed, there was only one gate agent to handle three planes, including retrieval of carry on luggage. I was stuck in the jet way waiting on my carry on for almost 20-30 minutes. NOT GOOD

Might want to rethink the snacks you offer in first class they were pretty pathetic

The flight from American side was good, my main issue this was a part of a partner flight with gol, preventing me to use digital boarding passes and doing checking previous of the arrival to the airport.

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

The big challenge here was that the inbound flight was delayed, THEN, the aircraft was deemed in need of service, so we had to deplane after being a few minutes away from departure, THEN we had to switch terminals, where another plane in our gate had maintenance issues so we had to change gates again. I am a regular flyer (not on American) so I understand these things happen. The crew was great. The pilot in particular was gracious and understanding and stayed with the passengers the whole time to answer questions and give updates - that was impressive. But the flight was massively delayed as a result, and today I really wanted to be home in time. Sigh The flight was otherwise great.

I am Plstinum Pro snd was standby on earlier flight. They gave seats to people that asked rather than follow standby order. When realized what was happening was too late to get on as no seats left. My scheduled flight was late. Then filled the seat beside me Ruth rude person that they had to move from her original seat

I have yet to come across an AA agent or flight attendant that is friendly. They really inhibit a good experience.

Little time between flight from Dallas to flight to Gainesville. We chose this one, 43 minutes between, because the price for a connection with at least an hour between, was so much higher. Had to ask passengers on the Dallas flight to please allow us to deplane ahead of them. The economy passengers allowed this. We had to walk very fast to the next gate, 35 gates away. Thankfully all in the same terminal. Getting to the small Gainesville plane was a little confusing as you enter an area that is boarding many small planes at the same time. We stood in the wrong line for about 15 seconds before realizing it was not our Gainesville flight. Since I had boarded at this gate in the past, I knew to check the signs carefully so we weren’t lost. The first class seat experience was wonderful. I really enjoyed the upgrade. We were offered an alcohol drink as soon as we sat down. I got something different but it was a great gesture especially since we really had to hurry to make the flight. We had packed expecting we might miss this connection, but made it. Our luggage didn’t miss the flight. American Airlines delivered our bags to our home the next day. That was very convenient!

Waaay too small plane. They also need to up the size of the overhead bins. I would love to keep me 3k with of camera equipment in my hard case baggahe instead of it being thrown into the belly of the plane

It was fine. No drinks nor snacks offered though. I thought that was unusual.
