the traffic in Atlanta is insane, leave early!

RobertFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026

Check where inbound plane is coming from, since routes have changed from past practices

MarcFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2026

In the Charlotte airport, eat at the Midwood Smokehouse: great pulled pork say, and try Old Mecklenberg beer, a local german style brewery. They make Altbier and Kölsch! The. AA terminal at La Guardia airport is bramd new, with great food and shopping. Free bus between airport and Jackson Heights subway station. Subway is much faster than. a cab to. Manhattan. Only problem is finding. the elevators at a station or on tne subway platform!

RobertFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026

Get there early so you can enjoy some of at the great restaurants at the airport before you board.

BelindaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026

I prefer Oakland over SFO. I liked the self-check for my suitcase for the bag drop . Getting through security went smoothly. It would have been really nice to know my boarding time was 1/2 hour later than on my app. I only found out that boarding was 1/2 hour late after rushing to the gate. I would have had time to go to my airport club had I known. Bag pick up at JFK was fast once I got to baggage claim, that was great

Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2026

Keep checking on AA flight status frequently. Do not leave home till the flight status is confirmed.

Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Aug 2026

My most frequent trip is between JFK and SFO on Jet Blue. Food options at SFO are amazing, but expensive. Sadly, getting through security at JFK is a hassle and takes an incredibly long time. Give yourself plenty of time. Also, when I arrived at JFK around midnight, there was no place to get food and I was disappointed to learn that I needed to take the air train all the way out to Howard Beach to get an Uber.

Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Aug 2026

The seats at JetBlue are old and uncomfortable. Make sure that you check that your assigned seat can recline if you have health issues or spine pain.

NoahFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026

JFK airport was really hard to navigate, and security line took nearly 45 minutes; we nearly missed our connection to fly from JFK to San Paulo, Brazil.

Very friendly staff. Be prepared to take the tram on this huge airport

No need to arrive too early. TSA is a breeze.

pFlew with JetBlue-Apr 2026

Its a short flight and you dont wait very long to get your checked bags but it is a haul to get to ground transpiration from the terminal. Also, Jet blue terminal in Boston is meh...

MichelleFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2026

Lots of construction going on so plan accordingly and don't get too comfortable in one spot. All the times I've departed from Dallas, I had several gate changes prior to departure. And they aren't close by. :)

AlissaFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026

Make sure you opt in for all notifications just in case you have multiple delays in your flight like I did.

Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Mar 2026

Charge all of your devices before boarding as there will won’t be any places to charge while on the aircraft.

JanaFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2026

Get there early. It is a long walk to the D1 gate.

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026

As I said the terminal for Alaska at JFK is horrendous -- new but very , very large with long distances to get to the gates and not enough automatic walking ways for a terminal of this size -- and 3 escalators?? Really! If you can get a direct flight from another airline I would definitely change but they may be the only one around.

MFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026

Newark terminal B is probably the worst in the country. Allow yourself plenty of time a patience

JeffFlew with Delta-Dec 2025

Worth being a SkyMiles member for the free checked bag Plan extra time at Miami, the walk from the MIAMover to the check in was very far and the moving sidewalks were not functioning.

BillFlew with Japan Airlines-Dec 2025

Take the first flight out in the morning. Always your best chance!

RichardFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2026

Because the CLT to NY flights are short distance/ duration I have noticed that they are often the first to be delayed or cancelled when there are weather issues. The worst airline for this route is American who seems to always have issues with crews timing out, lost baggage, mechanical delays, etc. AA is usually one of the worst carriers for cancelling/ delaying flights. I find the Delta flights to be the most reliable and timely. However, Delta flys smaller planes and so there is limited space for carry-on bags. You may have to check your bag at the gate and pick it up in the jetway afterwards. In terms of airports, the Charlotte airport has been undergoing a renovation for many years and is still a mess with many of the moving sidewalks not moving. Airport parking is particularly challenging and so you need to allow plenty of time before your flight. In NY, it really depends on time of day and weather. LGA is close to Manhattan, but it is the first to be impacted by weather. The LGA airport is modern and renovated. I generally prefer it to JFK and EWR unless there is bad weather.

GraceFlew with Delta-Feb 2026

We were early arriving so had to sit on the runway for a bit. Remember that you aren’t really supposed to use the lavatories in those situations as it’s an “active runway” situation, so plan to use the bathroom if you need to prior to descent.

Verified travelerFlew with ANA-Dec 2025

Give adequate time of more than 2 hours for your connection in Chicago O’Hare .. The terminals are not that far apart but still if it’s checked out and check in again process that involves TSA security screening again , 2 hours may not be enough ..

Check in baggage and picking seat will be added to your total flight cost

Make sure you calculate your baggage cost otherwise it might get expensive

JeffFlew with Delta-Dec 2025

Eat before boarding or bring your own snack on board.

Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2026

As bad as it gets. Sign in at one terminal (40 minutes), walk to another terminal to go through security (1 hour+), then take a shuttle through taxiing planes on the tarmac to your flight's terminal (up to another hour). Absurd.. Give yourself a whopping 4 hours or you could miss your flight.

MichaelFlew with United Airlines-Nov 2025

United refundable fare with bag check makes life easy for big trip. Otherwise, no bag check, moderate carry-on go cheap as possible. Grab food and beverage at airport to make flight enjoyable and kill time. It's really just a long cab ride

ElenaFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2025

Construction in the terminal so allow for extra time in SFO. Very easy finding luggage and getting outside at Newark. Also, this time, took the Express Bus into Manhattan - $25 is a good price, though the bus arrived 20 minutes after the scheduled time.

MathewFlew with Delta-Jun 2025

Make sure to pack 2-3 days of clothing in a carryon.

Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Mar 2025

For budget travelers, this is a good airline. Stick to the luggage dimensions, bring a snack and a book or entertainment that does not require WiFi and you will get to you destination for a great price.

MaryannFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2025

Bring your own food with you. Airport and airline food is expensive and you WILL need something to eat on such a long flight.

Kent ThienFlew with Korean Air-Feb 2025

Try to check in online to avoid the lines

MollieFlew with Spirit Airlines-Feb 2025

You have to weigh your bags yourself, there is no assistant to help check bags like on delta, so it takes longer and is more of a pain. Long lines, count on an extra few minutes. Other than that, everything was fine.

HartajFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2024

RDU gates can be busy. Newark airport still being upgraded, expect construction. Complex EWR layout can be difficult to navigate. Good luck! 💗

FrankFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2025

Don’t get to the airport to early. The boarding is orderly so you don’t have to be there too soon

GregoryFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2024

A good flight route - note that the EWR layovers are shorter than you expect. Boarding often starts earlier than printed.

JubyFlew with Southwest-Oct 2024

Get to the airport early enough to relax and enjoy the good grub found in the airport

JoanFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024

SeaTac should add sand to the painted floor from the terminal to the light rail. It is VARY slippery when wet and the northwest (Seattle) is known for rain.

Pay for the upgrade to be bumped up in an earlier group. Makes finding a spot for your carryon bag much easier. Also, please make sure any purse is packed into your personal bag. When they say a carryon and 1 personal item they mean it. Save yourself stress and holding others up by sticking to it.

New York JFK is massive and the signage there for connecting flights is not so good as you need to travel via AirTrain between the different terminals and the signage for this is missing in some places, making it confusing as to which way to go.

WilfredoFlew with JetBlue-Mar 2024

1. **Book Early**: Secure your tickets in advance to get better deals. 2. **Check for Deals**: Keep an eye out for promotions or discounts on flights. 3. **Pack Light**: Consider packing light to avoid extra baggage fees. 4. **Arrive Early**: Reach the airport with ample time for check-in and security. 5. **Stay Updated**: Monitor your flight status for any potential delays or changes. 6. **Comfort Items**: Bring essentials like snacks, a neck pillow, and entertainment for the flight. 7. **Stay Hydrated**: Remember to drink water during the flight to stay refreshed. 8. **Plan Transportation**: Arrange transportation from the airport in Newark to your final destination in advance.

AlexanderFlew with Spirit Airlines-May 2024
