Cons: "I always miss drink service when it's not there."
Cons: "I really hate how bad Southwest WiFi is, wasn't working again. Additionally, the plane was an 800 series jet, basically new, and has this loud music playing during boarding which makes trying to get a last phone call in impossible. What is wrong with a little quiet?"

Cons: "Pretzel snacks were a let down. Would prefer a variety."
Pros: "Excellent customer service!"
Cons: "The staff was excellent. Unfortunately the flight heading to Dallas was full. There was a couple that sat in different rows with a baby. Of course the baby was very upset the entire flight. They kept passing the baby back and forth.I just wished the couple had a car seat for the baby. She was kicking and crying until she fell asleep. No fault on Southwest."

Pros: "Yes the crew was great."
Cons: "It was a short 2.5 hr flight. Jet blue provided packaged snacks and a soft drink at no additional charge. Other airlines charge for everything. A carry on and a handbag were also allowed which others don't. The seats are leather and have more room. Seems Jet Blue is the last one of those traditional airlines giving more for your money. Thank you Jet Blue ! I am sold."

Pros: "Crew was very pleasant. Boarding and deplaning was smooth and easy!"
Pros: "Not one of my good experiences with Delta. Two hours delay in the flight"
Cons: "Information on the flight delay as communication was. at least very poor. Also A 220 was ok but First Class was so so"
Pros: "Super friendly staff, great service and delicious food. The competition has nothing compared to Delta. We’re switching"
Pros: "Delayed boarding but made up for lost time in the air"
Cons: "Delayed boarding"
Pros: "Boarding was very efficient. Flight attendants were helpful and kind and seemed to care."
Cons: "We booked basic seats knowing we might not sit together however we did not know they would separate children. They put my husband and I in an exit row and my daughter at the back of the plane with strangers. I was not comfortable with strangers being responsible for my child. I assumed they would seat children with at least one parent. We did ask to move at the gate and the accommodated us with the last row on the plane. No recline, no window, and right next to the bathrooms. We took it to be with our kid but this policy needs to be revised. Kids should always be seated with the adult responsible for them... who knows what kind of person might end up next to my child. Not to mention if she had needed something is the stranger gonna take care of it? It’s just a bad practice imo."
Pros: "Quick and easy boarding and departing. Wonderful and friendly staff."
Cons: "Honestly, everything was great. Food and entertainment were a little lacking but for a 3 hour flight it was more than acceptable."
Pros: "Availability of WiFi, a charging port and media options puts Delta a step (or two) ahead of their competitors. The professionalism of the crew, as well as the complimentary food/beverage options are also excellent."
Cons: "Not the airlines fault, but my 6’4” frame doesn’t fit very well in a middle main cabin seat."
Pros: "There was little interaction due to Covid precautions, however the crew was friendly upon entrance and exit."
Cons: "There was a child in front of me that should have had a mask on but was not enforced well."
Cons: "The flight was full. Expected some level of social distancing."
Pros: "Onboarding was easy and smooth. The plane was clean and the seats were comfortable. WiFi easily connected, too. Much better than expected for a budget airline."
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Nothing. Delayed for 4 hours. No time change updates were ever provided at the airport. No communications provided as to why our flight was delayed. No other options given. No food or drink vouchers given & of course, no discounts provided for future travel. Not that would EVER fly Sun Country again"
Cons: "Communication and updates. At the very least, food and drink vouchers. 4 hours is a LONG time to be delayed. Extra points had the airline reimbursed their $40 ONE WAY bag fee regardless whether it’s a carry on or checked luggage."
Pros: "Everything was well executed; friendly staff, clean plane, good entertainment options"
Cons: "It was delayed 3 hours due to rain that lasted about 30 minutes"
Pros: "Cabin crew very good, friendly and efficient. Good value for money."
Cons: "Basic level comfort: small cramped seat. $30 charge for carry-ons is excessive."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "They could’ve let us check our bags to make our flight on time."
Cons: "I missed the flight because they did not allow online check in. The check in closed 45 min before the flight and I got to the airport 35 min before the flight because my first flight at LGA was cancelled and I had to spend $250 to uber yo EWR. They charged me $200 and only refunded me vouchers"
Pros: "I got to change my seat"
Cons: "The flight attendants were rude. Our flight was delayed and we were not updated nor given a reason as to why."
