JasonFlew with United Airlines-May 2026
Make sure you have enough time for your layover. Dont argue if you are in the wrong seat.
SoosnataFlew with Delta-Feb 2026
I prepaid my baggage fee through the Delta App during web check-in; however, I was unable to locate the receipt afterward. It would be helpful if prepaid baggage receipts were clearly linked within the trip details section and/or accessible under the traveler profile for easy retrieval. This added visibility would enhance transparency and provide greater convenience for customers managing their travel documentation. Overall, a small enhancement that could further elevate the digital experience.
KhahnieFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2026
Give yourself plenty of time. Bring a lot of patience and practice kindness. Also bring a portable charger
EllenFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Dec 2025
Check your flights a few weeks before your trip and keep checking to see if times have changed, and if you need to adjust your layovers. Our flight went from 10am to 8:30am. We could have missed it.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2025
If you get cold, bring a blanket, or don’t be afraid to ask for one. Meal does not include veggies so eat a salad beforehand. Bring plugin headphones for movies.
RobertFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Jun 2025
Check in 24 hours prior and pay for luggage in advance to help expedite process
StevenFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Jun 2025
Be prepared to sit for a long time. Wear loose fitting comfortable clothes.

Bring a blanket for the flight and your own snacks. WiFi on the plane was great and the leg room in our seats was good also

Patients , especially in the airport. RFK airport is crazy busy ! For the flight , get up during the flight to stretch.

Wish I had known there was a shuttle bus all the way home becaues the trains were jam packed with no chance of sitting or even moving to a place to hang on.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Oct 2024
It varys to the airport state and country. The United States have large airports with the availability of WiFi and charging ports and usable electrical outlets In Romania, WiFi was limited to areas and weak . Warsaw Poland WiFi was much better But still no charging visible. If you travel to Europe you will need a adapter to use there and convert your plug to charge up your mobile phone/tablet/ laptop.

Bring your own headset, else you need to pay for some, if you need them.

Being on the airport one hour bevor boarding is fine :)
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Mar 2024
If you have a person in your party with a temporary ID (i.e. they were just issued one by DMV or their permanent ID has not arrived yet) be sure to bring additional identification materials. In our case an insurance card with their name on it was sufficient.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
I suggest packing a big snack bag and a large water bottle in case there are any issues with the flight causing a delay. When there are delays, no food is served, so you are stuck in a chair hungry and thirsty.
MelissaFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
Bring your own snacks because they will not feed you any kind of a big meal and it’s five hours. It’s a long time to wait without food. You do get a pretzel bag and a cookie and two drinks but that’s not enough.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Mar 2024
Bring your own food for snacks because it’s crazy expensive at the airport and the airline doesn’t give that much food for such a long flight.

I love southwest. I can not wait until all the planes convert to the upgraded planes. I love the charging option and the newer seats. Thank you from a very loyal Southwest customer.

My return flight was much better than the flight there! I paid for seat to Veagas but not the return. Thankgoodness they assigned me a seat with additional leg room as I have back and leg problems. I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

The crew was very kind and made going to Hawaii relaxing and fun to look forward to! Thank you Southwest for a pleasant flight!

I liked the crew member who gave flight instructions on "in case of a problem:. The seats are so small that only a young teenager could sit in middle seat.

I recently flew Southwest from San Jose to Honolulu. I was very impressed with the flight crew, especially the flight attendant in charge of the front of the plane. She came through the aisle at least five times for drinks and water, and two times for snacks. I have not seen such service since I flew first class. Also, for the first time, they gave us the correct baggage claim number, and the luggage came out quickly. I can't wait for Southwest to have assigned seating! I absolutely hate the Cattle Call boarding procedure and the mad dash to get seats and overhead bins. However, the boarding was efficient.

Much better than the.last. flight on SW on Thanksgiving day

Unfortunately it was not a good experience. There was a rude stewardess.

Boarding was well explained and smooth. The flight was short, so there was no time for snacks. They did offer water or juice, though.

The flight was very short, 45 mins, therefore no snacks/drinks were provided; there should be a NA option for food and entertainment survey questions. Also, there were no charging ports onboard for cell phones. My experience was overall positive.

Price was right. Add power to the seats, television, larger plane to accommodate a long flight to improve mental health and overall comfort for a 5 hour flight.

Delayed flight caused us to abandon bags in hnl or miss our United flight home. Awful

The crew seem untrained and uncertain no one ever checked up on us in our first class cabin. I had to ask for water four times and the lady kept saying she was busy when they weren't really doing anything. Had to walk to the back of the plane to get water for myself. Crew seem new and unexperience. You can tell this by the fumbling they kept making trying to fight. (I miss Hawaiian air.)

You can standby to get on earlier flight if the seat is open.

Boarding was easy and quick. Staff was very friendly. Service of snacks and drinks by staff was outstanding.

Kayak wouldn’t refund me for a flight I was trying to cancel through Kayak. Alaska airlines said I had to cancel through Kayak. I called the customer service line and they couldn’t refund the flight that I booked through Kayak either. You stole my money. You will be hearing from my lawyer.

See previous. It was the flight from Honolulu to Kapalua that was cancelled.

Good. Flight was good. Crew was good. Wish they offered coffee refills. Wish I didn’t have to pay for headphones. Otherwise good for a commercial flight.

Should have been forthcoming for reason for delay. Should have been able to check in for seat I'd like.

Once again, Hawaiian Airlines upon checking in for our return flight, told us that we hadn’t paid for our extra comfort seats. This had happened on our incoming flight as well. Hawaiian Airlines had changed our flight and put us in standard seats. I sent them confirmation emails and receipts showing that I had paid for extra comfort seats and they ignored me and refused to accept my proof of payment. I ended up having to pay for our extra comfort seats again. On our return flight, once again, we were told we hadn’t paid for our extra comfort seats, which we had. I argued until a supervisor was summoned and researched further in their system and found that we had paid for them. If I hadn’t insisted, we would’ve been forced to buy our seats again or be assigned a standard seat. This kind of Customer Service is totally unacceptable. I would never use Hawaiian Airlines again if I have a choice.

The boarding was confusing because the PA system at PDX was so quiet you couldn’t hear anything being said . The seats were uncomfortable. The food was pretty bad and I normally don’t mind airplane food. The flight attendants were not friendly. I learned upon check in that Hawaiian airlines had reassigned our seats of the second leg of the trip. I had confirmed and paid for special seats but they put me and my companion on standard seats in different rows. Hawaiian also did the same on my return flight after the flight times had changed. I happened to go online to check my reservation and saw the flight had changed. I gad received no notice. I saw that my confirmed seats that I had paid extra were gone. After much back and forth with the airlines they refused to correct their error. I showed them confirmation documents of my seat reservation and receipt of payment but they refused to correct the seat change or reimburse me. I had to pay $200 again to reserve the original seats. Shameful and manipulative. They basically held me hostage. If I wanted to be in that flight I had to pay up.

Crew was nice, meal was good. Entertainment had to be rebooted 3 times and still did not work. Turns out there was residue on screen, it needed to be cleaned to prevent the touchscreen buttons from continuously activating. I had entertainment for the last 45 minutes of a 5 hour 45 minute flight. Really unacceptable for first class. Flight attendent indicated your cleaning solution creates this problem. Seems as if this is widely known, you should be using a different product or cleaning better. Really really disappointing which simply added to the wi fi on your planes with reliably never ever works.

NEVER MADE THE FLIGHT BECAUSE DELTA SAID THEY CAN NOT

Everything I mentioned earlier - the airbus was more comfortable indeed and the experience was further enhanced.

It would be nice if was given wires ear buds. Overall was a good experience was able to sleep on the plane

Delta seems to be improving in many areas, except they are super bad with the food available. Bring back normal food service on long flights.

Paid premium for Delta only to be on safe but tired old 767 with ancient cabin in mediocre condition. Poor wifi and horrible inflight entertainment. Hardly a premium experience. Should have flown SW and had fun flight crew and no pretense

The plane from SNA wouldn’t start after 5 tries. The team gave me an option of flying direct from LAX and giving me a Lyft ride there! Perfect!

I didn’t not like that I could not select my seat and ended up with the worse seat.

The seats are too hard for long flights but otherwise- the process was smooth, the staff attentive, and there was to keep you occupied during the journey if needed.

Flight was on time and in fact arrived early. Seating was as comfortable as you can get in coach. Adequate leg room. Good entertainment system and offerings. Food was good. Flight staff was very good and accommodating.

My return flight to Honolulu (UA 1170) was on a 777-200. I’d forgotten the weird seating arrangement in first-class (2-2-2); I was in 1B, so I faced the passenger in 1C. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the flight computer, so we left LA an hour late (6:05pm). The meal I chose was Korean BBQ Glazed short rib. It was served with a nice salad and fried rice. This meal was better than breakfast on the outgoing leg. All in all, a decent flying experience. Ratings: 777: 3.75, food: 3.5, service: 5 (out of 5).

Great staff. Clean plane, but we were delayed for more than an hour due to maintenance issues and had to board another plane.

Overall a good experience, but no wifi available for free or for purchase and we got wet from condensation or other water source during descent.

I’m so sorry, I can’t remember her name, I believe it was Dimpti. She was stellar, also a mature Asian flight attendant, lots of flowers in her hair, just as amazing! But literally the crew was AWESOME . Only downside is there weren’t any charging outlets. Maybe I needed to ask a flight attendant , but it would’ve been nice to have one easily accessible.

Boarding seemed to be organized bedlam. For what ever reason, preboarding took longer than 20 minutes. Made the plane 20 minutes late taking off. Luckily we arrived on time. Flight crew seemed very friendly. Only slight turbulence.

The personnel were professional and friendly. The Boeing 737 Max 9 is too claustrophobic and was very warm at both airport gates, and still warm in the air.

The design of the light switch on the arm rest is ridiculous.

Had a hard time finding my assigned seat. No attendants to assist.

Terrible! The plane was old and you are required to connect your own device to their Wi-Fi rather than have entertainment options in the back of the seat in front of you. The Wi-Fi went out during the flight and there was only one plug for the devices every two seats. Three out of five surrounding my family did not work. The seats and spaces under them were so small I could not fit my backpack, which I’ve always brought on flights and fit before no problem. The crew were unpleasant and patronizing.

The leg space between me and the seat in front of me was excellent.

I have generally had positive experiences with American Airlines (outside a handful of delayed flights), which is why I wanted to share this feedback constructively. On my recent flight, my travel experience was extremely uncomfortable because my seat mate significantly encroached into my assigned seat space for the duration of the flight. As a result, I was forced to sit partially sideways, with much of my shoulder and upper body extending into the aisle. Unfortunately, my back still hurts from maintaining that awkward position.I recognize that this is a sensitive and challenging issue for airlines and cabin crews to address. Everyone deserves to travel with dignity and respect, and I understand that individual circumstances can vary. However, fairness also requires that all passengers have reasonable access to the seat space they have paid for. When one passenger's use of space substantially impacts another passenger's ability to sit safely and comfortably, there should be a practical solution available.I appreciate the complexities involved, but I hope American Airlines will continue exploring ways to ensure that all passengers can travel comfortably and equitably. This experience detracted significantly from what should have been a routine flight.

The crew was great! The issue for me is the aircraft. The Airbus A32x is just not comfortable enough and the entertainment delivery via personal devices is problematic.

This flight left LAX on time and arrived early in HNL. The flight crew was excellent, no issues with service or attentiveness. My issue is with the A321neo ... First class should be renamed business class as the seats are not that comfortable. And, having to use my phone as the entertainment device is just not acceptable ... I'm not going to carry a tablet so I can watch a movie. The music choices are limited, at least IMO.

Flight pulled out on time but sat on runway for 30 mins. It was extremely cold in the aircraft despite wearing a winter coat. Surprisingly they had a vegetarian meal but could have some better snack choices for a 8 hour flight.

For a 5 1/2 hour flite i considered the "business class" to be subpar. The seats were just ok, no amenities, really nothing more than a long domestic flight. Frankly disappointed.

More choices on snacks. Built-in video screen to enjoy entertainment choices.

Almost a 6 hour flight and the only food option is a cheese plate… and chips. Also how is it there are no options for texting on American. I’ll be going back to delta and united.

Angela was the best fa ever. She made that 8 hour flight a breeze

Crew were attentive and friendly. Flight was smooth and early! I enjoyed the less crowded plane. Thank you!

Being back games on the in-flight entertainment. Also your flight attendants need a break, raise, or overall attitude adjustment.
