Orlando International terminal C is a good quality terminal with plenty of seating and facilities. Manchester is invariably slow with disembarkation and luggage after landing.

If you’re vegan eat before departure or take snacks! Boarding etc is fine. Usually fast so don’t mess around getting last minute gifts from Disney/Universal/Seaworld stores.

Left /arrived on time. Decent seat space. Like the wifi/plugs and entertainment. Windows and tray table were kinda gross. Attendants didn't start snack service til 40mins before landing. Two rows before us, captain came on to say there's turbulence and recalled staff to seats. So, no drink/snack. Later, attendants didn't stop to see if we had trash nor even look our way. Felt invisible! Almost all pilot announcements were not only unintelligible, but so quiet. We had no idea what she said.

Felt invisible! Almost all pilot announcements were not only unintelligible, but so quiet. We had no idea what she said.

Average seat comfort, a drink and chips were provided, early boarding because we checked a carryon at the gate was nice. Ticket pricing shenanigans, including fees to pick a seat, check a bag, and get food onboard - evidence the industry is reinvigorating last century’s strategies- destroys the experience before one ever arrives at the airport. It’s difficult to recognize any value or sustain loyalty in the end-to-end process making air travel more drudgery than pleasure.

Gate agent was unhelpful for handicapped boarding. Flight attendant seemed untrained.

No service flight that took 5 hrs and a stop at an unscheduled airport. Crew and pilots did their jobs

Clean planes and not take my comfort class seat away.

The crew were efficient. The pilots seemed professional. It was a bit chilly in our seats. The sheet provided weren’t very helpful.

Weather caused a long delay, but the efficiency and updates from the pilot were helpful. We were able to make our connection fortunately.

Planes were clean, no water or snacks on either flight.

Free & relatively fast Wi-Fi. Would've liked a wider drink selection.

I continue to be satisfied with Delta’s excellent service out of LGA. The digit id works well and gets me through security in no time. Whenever possible, I choose Delta.

Seating and zone. The minor I went with didn’t even seat close to me

My seat 3G did not go down fully and the buttons were not working properly

Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Great staff, great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

We were an hour and a half late, which caused my rental car company to cancel my reservation. We had no car, had to take a taxi to our hotel, and then a taxi back to get a new car the next day. Sometimes lack of on-time performance can end up costing the passenger a lot of money, none of which is covered by the airline that operated the late flight.

Overall good experience. But seats were small and uncomfortable for the price. Good entertainment, staff friendly and attentive.

Smooth quiet flight take off and landing both excellent. Food was mediocre. Boarding at gate was disorganized and unacceptable.

Very good trip. Nice clean aircraft. Helpful and friendly crew.

Crew members Grainne and Karen were extremely rude and unprofessional

I am very disappointed in that KAYAK sold me this flight as a business class it was not a business class. It was a regular economy class ticket. This was not Art Linus mistake. It was kayaks.

Crew was friendly and seats were comfortable. The connection however there were no free snacks or drinks.

Our flight from Dublin to Coruna did not exist any more. Apparently it was cancelled in February and I was not advised, nor was I offered any flights for rebooking. Happily Aer Lingus found another flight to another city in Spain that was 500 miles from Coruna; I had to pay for a hotel overnight and a revise my rental car that incurred additional costs, and I did not get to Coruna for another 24 hours. I was not at all impressed with Kayak or Chatdeal or Hertz.

OK overall. Flight was delayed Crew on flight was good

Late late late. Delayed and arrived an hour late for a 1 hour 45 minute connection. Every time. Poor record for this company. I try to fly any other carrier first.

They cancelled our connecting flight resulting in another layover reaching our final destination 8 hours later than scheduled.

Repurchased food and it was moldy and expensive. But I figured it was bad luck so I purchased a cup-o-noodles, halfway through them we hit turbulence and the flight attendant was passing with the garbage, it would have been two seconds to grab it, but he was snarky grabbed someone else’s plastic cups and went to buckle up… I used the puke bags to secure the soup before it became an accessory. When he finally came around he gave me a face like a petulant child as I handed him the soup neatly wrapped in the paper then plastic bag. I watched a movie in silence as the rental or headphones was ridiculous at 4€ for those .10€ cheap plastic toys. No English subtitles on an American movie… crazy. I disliked the whinny little tourist trap and now I hope that it sinks into the ocean or erupts in a catastrophic eruption for their beloved “I live on an active volcano” pride.

On-time arrivals and departures. Crew helpful and friendly. Yet everything costs extra: seat selection, food, even airphones!

Pleasant, attentive flight attendants, but they’ve got to upgrade their seats to be a true “business class” carrier.

Friendly flight crew. Airplane (757) configured as a domestic flight (no lie-flat seats) & no advanced meal selection.

I had no idea that my ticket only paid for my right to get on the plane. They charged me $130 for my carry-on bag because it was 1 inch too big she claimed but it wasn’t! Then they wanted another fee for everything. I had no idea that Icelandair had changed to such a bargain basement airline. I was very disappointed.

Screen didn't work, and neither did the button to tilt the seat even though the seat was comfortable

Second time with Saga Premium, everything was fab, but the entertainment centre on both my flights didn't work, plus the seat on the NY to Rek flight (Airbus) was so solid and so uncomfortable. The 737Max flight's seat was much, much better.

Waiting area on top of stairs before Boarding the bus wasn’t great. Took a long time to load the bus to gate.

Nice, quick flight. There were lots of empty seats so they told me I could sit next to the emergency exit where I would have more legroom.

Boarding process was chaotic. Confusion over Boarding gates: gate 55 or gate 56 ???. Unnecessary standing in long lines to board. Better to call out Boarding groups one at a time and everyone else to sit. Airline only has 2 Boarding groups 1-3 and 4-9. That causes over crowding and chaos

Lady next to me was coughing profusely the entire flight, other lady moved seats because of it, 8 hours of that during an overnight flight is a bit much.

3.5 hr delay leaving Pittsburgh, notifications for which were incomplete and untimely. Connecting flight was automatically switched to one requiring more than a 30 hour layover! After waiting in a long queue, customer service reduced layover to 11 hours and also set up an earlier standby. The standby had empty seats, but the gate agent couldn't change our tickets! On top of all that my luggage was lost and has yet to even be located, much less returned 5 (FIVE!) days later. Too bad there's no rating below poor.

Canceled flight late London to Florence. Help at airport very poor. Treated poorly. Had to sleep in the airport. Lost bags- still do not have them. Horrible. I should be reimbursed!

The seats are extra cramped if you are taller than 5’8! Spring for the extra legroom seats for sure if you have a long flight!

Very disappointed with British Airways. It has been over 24 hours and I still have not received my checked baggage or any proper update. Customer support has been unresponsive, making the situation even more frustrating. Poor baggage handling and lack of communication seriously impacted my travel experience.

Flight was good but temp in the cabin was cold.

I like American Airlines and their safety record. They provide quality service and a feel safe enough to prefer American Airlines over other carriers even if I have to pay a little more.

Cancelled flight and re booked seats were a downgrade. British Airways said the upgrade was t available but when I checked it was but then they wouldn’t make it right

Boarding was orderly, pilot and flight attendants were nice, entertainment options were good, and low sodium meals were quite tasty.
