Keep checking on AA flight status frequently. Do not leave home till the flight status is confirmed.
BillFlew with Japan Airlines-Dec 2025
Take the first flight out in the morning. Always your best chance!
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.
JeffFlew with Delta-Dec 2025
Eat before boarding or bring your own snack on board.

You should arrive early, take a lighht snack and be prepared for delays.
RolandoFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
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.
HenryFlew with Breeze Airways-Aug 2024
For MCO arrive with plenty of time to make it through the TSA checkpoint. Stewart / Newburgh is a great smaller airport to fly in or out of.
ChrisFlew with Frontier-Jul 2024
Ship your larger items and clothing. Bring a backpack only on plane
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
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.
AlexanderFlew with Spirit Airlines-May 2024
Know your connection options — specially when LaGuardia Airport (LGA) only has buses going to/from the airport to the rest of the city. Luckily, the one to the subway station (Q70) is free-of-charge to ride on!
LuisFlew with American Airlines-May 2024
Google the airplane they will fly in to see if it will be comfortable or not. I recommend the 777-200ER

Bring entertainment since there are no screens available to watch movies or check on current map of destination.

Pushing back flight and ultimately cancelling it after multiple changes and hours of delays. Comm were terrible as to what was going on and what options were available.

Although I know the Airlines cannot control the situation when there’s a ground stoppage, it would’ve been nicer if we would have had more up-to-date information clarity around the delays. Additionally, I think the delays also took a toll on the Cabin crew, particularly the lead flight attendant in first class. She was not very friendly when we boarded the plane for many of the passengers. Number one she refused to hang a garment bag in the front closet for a first class passenger, she was unwilling to dispose of an empty bottle in the trash as I was boarding (despite drinking a bottle of water herself and needing to disregard), and she was very combative with a passenger, who needed to access something from his bag that was Gate checked. Frankly, it was really unfortunate as I’ve never seen a flight attendant behave that way directly to the passengers, particularly when none of us had done anything wrong.

the flight got cancelled - few hours before the departure time - no time to change

The meal tray was not usable it was completely uneven

Flight from Savannah arrived very late and we did not take off till 2 hours after scheduled departure!

My flight was canceled, and instead of rebooking me on a non-stop first-class flight for the same day, which I originally had, Delta rebooked me on a one-stop flight for the following day. When I checked the Delta app, I noticed that there were available flights for both the same day and the next day. I believe this indicates poor management on their part.

So terrible. My flight was 4 hours delayed and we weren't notified til last second within an hour of boarding. WE had to sit on the plane for 4 hours. ridiculous.

The CRJ-900 was clean but the overhead air vents were broken in our First Class row, making the cabin very hot until about 30 mins into the flight. The flight attendants were both extremely apologetic and accommodating though so that is why I rated the flight as very good. They checked on us many times and truly showed they cared. The snacks for an hour and a half flight could be better. Would be nice if there was a small plated meal over convenient store snacks. WiFi also was not working. And it would be nice if Delta had adjustable headrests on these planes.

The plane was old and thus the seats were not good. No cushion left whatsoever, and it all was a bit worn out.

flight was delayed 4+ hours. there was really no understanding of why? weather? the last hour of delay was post boarding. pilot seat was broken. was that the real reason? nonetheless, long day of inconveniences.

Flight was late to take off Plane broke down Had to move everyone to another plane Told we weren’t going to LGA but Newark Also told we would be taken to NY But United lied and we ended up at Newark at 2 in the morning Horrible experience. And the experience of trying to get compensation from United is just as bad. They could not care less about their passengers Never again!

It would have been better if the crew has supported my husband's reasons for needing to keep the space clear around his feet, rather than insisting that he put his knapsack in that space.

Evidently, my seat had the only broken TV. I couldn’t plug it in, get it to come on, or watch anything, and of course, no one could fix it while we were on the plane. The service was good and the boarding was quick

Delays from united along with Newark air space caused delays. But an average flight! Unfortunately we come to expect delays from the airlines.

Fast checkin with the self serve terminal, good communication at the boarding gate.

The plane’s radio wasn’t working. This delayed the plane for an hour and a half. Then we all broaded and taxied down the runway only to get called back because the radio was still not working. Had to get off the plane and then find another plane making the trip 4 hours delayed. Maybe a different plane should have been chosen sooner?!?!?!

There was no screens on board AND the WiFi didn’t work. My seat was broken and couldn’t recline so I couldn’t even sleep. The flight attendants didn’t offer anything to make it more comfortable. It was such an old cramped plane, when the person in front of me reclined I couldn’t even open my tray table. All the United ads talk about guaranteeing everyone gets a screen!

Wheelchair assistance was not complete. The person left me at the departure gate without informing the groundstaff of my requirements. I had to walk to the departure counter to ask for help to reach the plane door. The crew informed me that in future they were not allowed to help passengers like me, senior citizen and Wheelchair passenger with placing their carry on bags in the overhead compartments!

The Flight was good, pilot seemed very skillful. My wheel chair sister who could barely walk was allotted the second last seat in the aircraft, with great difficulty she managed to reach on her seat, as she required attendance we were given separate seat, even on request no one cared, so much so there were single passengers who were given twin seats. May not be taken as complaint but a reminder to the checkin staff to keep in mind in future the allottment of wheel chair passengers seats.

Taking a bus or train from Newark to Albany is perhaps the better (safer and faster) option for such a short distance, especially with winter weather. Due to complications caused by snowfall, our flight had to circle around Albany airport for about half an hour before the conditions on the runway were sufficient for landing. (The pilots did an excellent job getting us on the ground safely with limited runway-length, snow covering the runway, and poor visibility.) The flight had a lot of turbulence due to the snowstorm and small size of the plane, but all was well in the end.

Boarding was horrendous! Took absolutely forever… and the delay from the broken coffee pot was really kind of ridiculous

gate crew was courteous and helpful, flight attendant was nice and friendly once we got going. But we pushed off from the gate relatively on time, then sat there like 10 ft away, for an hour, with no announcement or explanation. Taxiing then took forever, and I get that there was runway congestion, but would be helpful to keep us posted on whats going on

Uncomfortable seats, spotty WiFi, only Biscoff for snack (no one likes those).

boarding announcements werent clear/loud. Tired of those cookies. Of the 3 staff/attendants, 1 was good and the other 2 were mediocre.

They cancelled our flight two times after rebooking us for a later flight. We never got on the plane. We found another solution by driving.

Long delays to board due to mechanical issues with plane.

Flight canceled because they didn’t have enough flight attendants. No refunds or credits for future flights

Boarding was awful - no order, people cutting in line, completely chaotic Planes are very old and uncomfortable. Noticeable difference between Delta and United on same route.

The plane was spartan, the seats not that comfortable. It was like flying a super low budget airline. They charged for coffee!!! I have never, ever experienced that before.

This flight moved Gates several times in a short time period, from B to C, which required a substantial walk or rail ride. Then the flight was delayed more than 2 hours and the food was subpar compared to other flights.

It was my first time in Jetblue flight in 10+ years(?) and the experience was horrible. You were better before. There were ATC delays sitting/waiting in the tarmac for 2 hours, I understand that this isn't Jetblue's problem but how the matter was handled poorly is. Cabin was so warm and hot couldn't get it to cool down for the entire waiting period worse, even during cruise flight. Start, the passengers were spoken to and treated like a little children with no respect. Constant/multiple annoying tone/voice PA announcements of mentioning "... only big/large suitcases are for the bin and small ones need to be placed under the seat, etc,..." I see that flight was delayed and crew were trying to get the plane ready to board as soon as they can but the way they presented was lack of better word, condesending and scolding tone to cattle. It was definite unpleasant, unwelcoming flight experience I have ever had with Jetblue. Whatever happen to smiles and fun employees , pleasant/helpful gate agents, flight attendants, crews, where have they gone? It was dissapointing flight experience overall from everyone. Sorry for the direct transparency.

JetBlue cancelled the flight. We had to rebook on another airline.

The seats were roomier than other airplanes I’ve been on.

Horrible - for the first time in my life i was denied boarding an international flight because the name used on my ticket - Josh - was not exactly the same as my passport - Joshua. At no time during ticketing, online check-in, or at the airport flying from Boston to NY was i notified of a problem. It was only at boarding from NY to Costa Rica I was informed of the problem and by then it was too late. After missing the flight I was told by airport Jet Blue staff, including a supervisor, that it was my problem and they could not assist because i bought "the cheapest fare". i was hung up on twice by JetBlue customer service, including once by a supervisor. I blame Kayak and your awful partner ChatDeal for even allowing me to purchase an international ticket without verifying this - you effectively sold me a ticket i could not use. Shame on you and shame on ChatDeal for doing nothing to help me resolve the situation. What a scam.

Complete and total debacle from start to finish. HUGE mistake picking this airline. NEVER again! Rudest staff in the business.

Domestic flights are good. Just stay away from international travel

I tried to book a flight with Jet Blue. Your third party company hijacked my attempt with a website that looked like I was booking with Jet Blue. I realized it when I paid. I tried to cancel and was told by a man in India that there were no refunds. $735 stolen, Thanks Kayak!

They lost my luggage and refuse to help. Terrible airline. I've never experienced worse customer service in my life. Pretty much just told me too bad that I lost all my luggage, not caring that I am stuck in Europe for 2 weeks with absolutely nothing.

You should have had Wifi to make it much enjoyable.

The flight was delayed for more than 3 hours the flight attendant was so angry, it was my first flight with JetBlue but i don’t think I flight with them again.

A 630departure flight Delayed 6hours! They changed my gate, I moved to the new gate. Had our flight on the screen for 12noon departure. I go get above to eat, check screen again and the flight was gone, no notice no announcement, nothing!! They sent my bag on the flight I wasn’t on, got it back to me 3days later. Thank goodness they did refund my money but I will NEVER fly them again.

Plane and crew on board were fine. Everything else was terrible.

Disaster. They lied every step of the way. We ended up being delayed due to crew and then allegedly abandoned the flight because of a curfew at LGA. No rebooking to LGA at any reasonable time. No hotel. No meal vouchers. Had to sleep in the airport and fly to Newark instead. Will never fly Frontier again.

My first flight was delayed 5 hours. The 2nd flight was canceled til the next day and the never even tried to compensate for it. Worse I was delayed again on the flight the rebooked me on.

Would be great if Frontier can Assign Seats together under one PNR

They cancelled the flight and did nothing. I should be compensated for my uber rides to and from airport. Not a good service by frontier or kayak.

food not having to pay for it, reclining seat would be nice, more leg room, HEAT!!!!!!!

Very easy with the app to board and staff skills

Delayed for two hours due to trivial issues. No reimbursment. Also on arrival further delay due to terminal malfunction.

Booked two aisle seats and were switched to an aisle and middle. Not happy.
