Airline reviews
Cons: "Nice flt, competent and diligent cabin crew. But at ck in they assessed a $20.25 carryon bag fee even though my reservation via Kayak said one carryon was included. (It was within their weight and size limits) Even with empty seats they assigned me the non reclining row that abuts the restrooms (noise, smells, etc.)"

(It was within their weight and size limits) Even with empty seats they assigned me the non reclining row that abuts the restrooms (noise, smells, etc.)"
Cons: "left Houston more than 2 hours later, arrive in Mexico over 2 am"
Pros: "El check in estuvo bien . Rápido y atento"
Cons: "I flight en clase premier. En general el avión hacia Chicago no es nuevo ni confortable. La comida horrible. El vuelo atrasó sin dar explicaciones. Nos hicieron llegar a la puerta a pesar de que sabían del atraso .El equipo nada amables"
Cons: "Plane was delayed for an hour, Mexico city federal police was there and some other teams to ask quest about if someone had approached us to hide something or if they touched us without our permission...it's was weird but this delayed the whole trip."
Pros: "The service was great!"
Cons: "The flight got delayed 5h. This is my only complain."
Pros: "Actually, the flat bed seat is not an Aeromexico virtue, this is part of the 787-800 series. Fortunately, All Nippon Airways is serving Mexico City and there is no doubt what is gonna be my next option."
Cons: "1. Delayed departure. 2. Mediocre flight attendants with poor understanding of what this kind of long haul flight should be in business class. 3. The two only meals were uneatable. The chicken was carved 2 weeks ago and stored in permafrost before serving. 4. I've flown 7 times the same route with Aeromexico and this was the worst of all of them."
Cons: "The flight wad great, but the main problem wss thr smell. For almkst the whole flight it smelled like trash combined with someone's toilet left ovet smell. It was really bad."
Pros: "friendly staff"
Cons: "scheduled layover was 9+ hours. It became even more painful including a delayed aircraft."
Pros: "I upgraded to premium economy and the extra legroom was great Very clean and comfortable plane and great entertainment selection"
Cons: "The breakfast was truly awful. Scrambled eggs with bits of string bean and a portion of black beans all sat in a puddle of hot melted butter. It was so sad and tasted worse"
Cons: "The flight was oversold and my daughter and I couldn't check in online and or seats were given away. We were sent to a hotel far from the airport."

Late. Then next flight was an hour late due to mx.

Room on aircraft was nice main cabin. Interaction with cabin crew could of been nicer....only seen them once

Pros: "The crew was very good & a great selection of movies."
Cons: "More selection of snack would be great."
Pros: "Crew was amazing, very helpful and nice!"
Cons: "The touch screen for the entertainment didn't work so I wasn't able to watch or so anything"
Cons: "Was not allowed to get on slightly early with a car seat and a 3 year old to get situated in the seats, though on every other flight we have been allowed to. There was a delay that caused us to miss our connecting flight."
Pros: "It was standard AA service"
Cons: "After flying in Delta Comfort+, American’s forward economy section is just nothing."
Pros: "efficient boarding process, friendly crew"
Cons: "boarding time was delayed, too hot, seat was in the last row middle, crew delayed the flight unnecessarily by trying to seat a family together, lights were on when people were trying to sleep at midnight"
Cons: "no air jets. told it was an old plane with no air jets. Very uncomfortable flight for 7.5 hours."
Cons: "Another delay on second segment of cross country flight — this time for maintenance issues that were never fully explained. took off an hour late from DFW."
Pros: "Great flight overall"
Cons: "We were told that we get one checked bag free, but at check-in were told we had to pay. So much for low prices!"
Pros: "Liked the option of multiple snacks rather than being restricted to pretzels."
Cons: "The seat cushion was not very comfortable--like it was squished from having been sat on several too many times."
Pros: "Polaris seating is very roomy and comfortable"
Cons: "No jet bridge for our flight. We had to be bused way across the airport and climb stairs to board, which made the whole boarding order meaningless. Surely this flight deserves a jet bridge from the actual terminal gate. Also, our bags did not come out in Houston and a United person told us there were no more coming, so we cleared customs and went to our next flight. This caused us to wait 1 hour in San Antonio for our bags to show up on the next Houston flight!"
Pros: "The flight was delayed so much that we would not make the connection, so United placed us on an American flight coming home more than an hour later. I really got to see how much better the flights are on American:more leg room, free movies. However, United's cookies are much better."
Cons: "The flight was delayed so much that we would not make the connection, so United placed us on an American flight coming home more than an hour later. I really got to see how much better the flights are on American:more leg room, free movies. However, United's cookies are much better."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "I was exiting your airplane bathroom and my wife was entering when the flight attendant placed her arm in front of my wife and said, “I’m sorry but I’m working so that means I have dibs on this bathroom.” She then entered the bathroom and shut the door on my wife’s face. I was furious and speechless to witness such frank rude behavior and horrible customer service. I would like to think that United Airlines prides itself on better customer service than this. My wife and I have other choices when we fly and we will certainly think twice before we fly United Airlines again."
Pros: "The team did their best to get everyone boarded quickly and make up time for the delayed flight. Even the captain was doing what he could within safety limits."
Cons: "The TV would not change channels or turn off. It was very distracting on my night time flight. And maybe it's just when you're trying to sleep, but there just seemed to be less personal space than I remember on other recent flights."
Pros: "Relatively short TSA, arrived at gate just as Group 1 was boarding, hopped in my seat, and enjoyed a quick, easy flight with a surprisingly good lunch of paella, salad, and torte. Very tasty. Service was great. Nice route."
Cons: "It was a 737-300 so a bit dated of an aircraft, but it was - at least - clean."
Pros: "Easy, convenient and everyone is nice and accommodating. We always get to SFO under an hour"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I paid $50 extra for a flight to leave at 5 instead of 8 and they ended up so late that the cheaper flight left before we did. Overbooked and packed to the point of immobility."
Cons: "Flight was cancelled. Rebooking was a nightmare. Baggage was lost."
Pros: "Everyone was quite friendlly and personable, especially our flight attendants."
Cons: "It was hard to hear the captain over the speaker. The inflight entertainment was expensive"
Cons: "people completely ignore social distancing when boarding and deplaning. Not enough emphasis is made on this."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Delayed flight, next time send the alert in time for people to stay put instead of waiting at the airport. And why keep your stupid vip seats empty and crowd people in the back in the middle of a pandemic. I hate volaris and I'll selling all my shares with them. Go vivaaerobus"
Pros: "Crew was amazing. Felt safe from check 8n to arrival"
Cons: "Second flight that was not on time. Seat was a bit uncomfortable."
Cons: "Hand sanitizer and temp check at gate. I watched a crew member pick her nose."
Pros: "The flight was mostly empty"
Cons: "The flight attendant Paola was super rude. None of them had a pen even though they know every single passenger has to complete a customs form. Also, the gentleman at the counter was rude and said several expletives when I was boarding bc he had to do a little extra work to print out a boarding pass for my infant."
Pros: "The crew were fantastic and the seats were comfortable."
Cons: "Leg space was a bit tight for a tall person so if you can get an exit row do it."
Pros: "Crew was poor in preparing for boarding. Boarding happened 30-50 minutes past final call."
Cons: "They could have been more open about checking in. They had a long line that was a mix of three flight leaving in the same hour. They could have organized the boarding better as well. Splitting the passengers in three groups didn't play out so well."
Pros: "Departed on time. Non-stop to PDX was appreciated"
Cons: "Packed in like cattle, seats were not comfortable, no WiFi"
Pros: "Timeliness its great to be on time."
Cons: "The seats it’s too cramped, also paying 4 dollars for a water is ridiculous and to top things off children crying the whole flight I rather spend my money on another airline"
Pros: "The crew was ok no contact no interest on mi is ok"
Cons: "The checking line ,soo bad , need much improvement!"
Cons: "Desk should be more accessible to clients that are a bit late to their plane"
Cons: "To: VivaAerobus Airlines I requested a mobility chair and was denied, however they did get a chair for my grandma at the airport. I was told by my grandma that there was a portion of the walk to the gate that she had to walk, she made it, but she got tired. This is not professional at all."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "We borded plane and stayed and did not depart until 1hr and a half after. No explanation from crew as they sat and joked around. Once plane did leave the crew was extremely childish having full blown personal conversations loudly during the flight. During the emergency briefing crew was laughing at eachothers jokes. Super unprofessional overall"
Cons: "Communication! Flight was delays over 5 hours. The flight changed from delayed to on time twice throughout the day."
Pros: "We got VIP Boarding without choosing in advance."
Cons: "Very little legroom, seats were not reclinable at all, not a single snack included. Cheap."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Many things could have been better. There was no kiosk for check in, the crew was not helpful prior to checking in, multiple occurrences where a group member was stopped for no reason by airline crew member, there were at least two seats that were duplicated on the airlines part, there was a delay on the flight due to over booked seatings, seats did not recline, no phone charging services."
Pros: "Price is unbeatable. Convenient direct flight. The rest is all charged so I didn't make use of it. But for those who did pay, it seemed to be fine."
Cons: "If at least water was provided for free."
Cons: "I was early to aborde and I wasn’t allow to check in due to apprently being late"
Pros: "I liked that they got me to my destination alive."
Cons: "The seats, being on time, docking at the right terminal so we didn’t have to bus to another terminal to go through customs, the food, the check in process... everything was sub par. For a thousand dollar ticket, I’ll never fly Volaris or Viva Aerobús again."
Pros: "I didn’t get chance to flight . They changed departure time . At the first time when I showed up at my gate 17A , 50 minutes before the departure there was a lot of people waiting for flight to Hermosillo , not the Cancun. ( wasn’t any information about Cancun flight on information display) When I asked crew from desk about my flight to Cancun they told that I need to wait for announcement . I left for 20 minutes , when back 20 minutes before my departure time on my gate crew told me that my flight it’s gone. I didn’t hear any announcement about it. They didn’t change me for another flight , only the told me that they can change my ticket for the flight which is 18 hours later."
Cons: "Everything need to improve"
