There is no free Wi-Fi or screens in the seats for this flight. It would be nice if they had actual actual healthy drink options like a flavored sparkling water. The flight was very dark because nobody was sitting on the left side and they didn't open any of the windows. The plane was kind of and had small overhead bins. There was no distinguishable difference between economy and comfort Plus.

Pros: "I was able to return home after my flight had been cancelled."

Cons: "The crew failed to enforce ANY mask policy. The WiFi did not work. They over served alcohol to the passengers."

Cons: "The onboard crew was rude and one guy actually grabbed me which to me is unprofessional. All because I had a poster tube that wasn't in my bag they wanted it in my bag. Then I asked for a seat change due to my size hard for ne to be in the middle and the lady was snooty about it."

Pros: "Got there safely."

Cons: "The seats are miserable small and uncomfortable. More options for snacks for the cost of the ticket!!!"

Cons: "Boarding was delayed due to crew unavailability. Entertainment did not work due to connectivity issued during flight. No cookies nor snacks were served vs outbound flight where they offered 3 snacks!"

Pros: "The flight crew was friendly and smiling."

Cons: "The seat in economy was incredibly uncomfortable. Seat had a slight forward incline which made a finding a relaxing position impossible."

Pros: "The flight attendants were nice enough and the snacks/beverages were average/as expected."

Cons: "This flight was delayed for more than 2.5 hours and the communication was poor. The gate agents weren’t helpful. The airport didn’t have enough outlets. Or chairs. My flight out to this location was also delayed by over three hours. At least they tried to make us feel better by telling us what was going on. The staff at the airport were rude and unhelpful and United airlines is unreliable."

Pros: "Fast boarding"

Cons: "Wi-Fi could be better with no interruptions. My movies were interrupted 2 times."

Pros: "Everything was fine, I would probably take the flight again but nothing was above average"

Cons: "It was very hot on the plane and uncomfortable for most of the flight."

Pros: "The seat was comfortable"

Cons: "Should have demarcations for groups as they are boarding. A rude costumer with his wife who’s group was obviously not was called to board the airplane( I heard him say we’ll jus go with this group since we are next) purposefully cuts me off and was rude and obnoxious about it."

Pros: "Everything mostly"

Cons: "It was cold outside when we got in and out of the plane. I wasn’t prepared for that."

Pros: "Crew, both on the ground and on board, were VERY kind and helpful."

Cons: "Less delays"

Cons: "Late boarding. Announced clearly. Overheard other passengers who had been told differing times regarding another flight. Heard this at gate and then others at ticket counter earlier. It was discouraging to hear other passengers not being pleased with services."

Pros: "The airline changed the schedule of the flight to 10 hours earlier, which would have meant we would sit in the Ft Lauderdale airport for 14 hours. I cancelled the flight and applied for a refund thru Kayak. Six months later, I still haven't been refunded."

Pros: "Review asks for comment on each leg but pro’s and cons about the same. I liked the Silver staff, gate and onboard. it was a short flight each leg, with a complimentary small bottle of water. The flights were fine. It is great landing at the same terminal where your connection leaves from."

Cons: "Baggage was an issue for me this trip. I was traveling with a roll-on that I planned to check, a smaller roll-on, a laptop and case, and a CPAP. Both going and returning they encouraged me to gate check/valet the roll-ons, which I did on the way to Key West. But that burdened me during the long layover in Fort Lauderdale that was not part of my original itinerary. I did check the larger roll-on for return flight ($35) and am still waiting for the carousel to start turning 30 minutes after reaching baggage claim."

Pros: "No complaints. Boarding was on time. Got to destination early. Staff was friendly. Overall great experience"

Pros: "Was sick and didn’t want to get everyone else sick, and wasn’t offered credit at least."

Pros: "Good service. Friendly staff"

Cons: "A little noise flight because type of airplane but understandable"

Cons: "4 hour delay due to mechanical issues with no prior notice and no offer of any compensation for our additional cost of drivers"

Cons: "The stewardess and pilot couldn’t get the stair ramp (?) to work."
