Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to New York 
MarcFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2026
Arrive at the gate before boarding time starts because the small plane can be full boarded in less than ten minutes.
NedFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2026
DONT USE AMERICAN, I always have the worst time on American flights. Enroll in TSA precheck touchless ID to skip the line, so worth it.
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
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.
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.
MathewFlew with Delta-Jun 2025
Make sure to pack 2-3 days of clothing in a carryon.
Kent ThienFlew with Korean Air-Feb 2025
Try to check in online to avoid the lines
Verified travelerFlew with Breeze Airways-Dec 2024
Take a screenshot of your reservation, so you have evidence of what you booked.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Oct 2024
Bring a snack with you in the event you are not happy with dinner.
mauriceFlew with Iberia-Sep 2024
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
JayFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
Bring entertainment since there are no screens available to watch movies or check on current map of destination.
NettyFlew with Delta-Apr 2024
you may have to valet check your bag. overhead space is very small
andrewFlew with Delta-Jan 2024
new terminal C at LGA is the way to go for delta vs JFK or newark. getting a n uber or lyft was easy
AdeleFlew with JetBlue-Dec 2023
Avoid arriving at JFK Terminal 5 if you plan on using ride sharing. Long slog to pickup area due to construction till mid-2025

Another pleasant experience flying Delta! Boarding was easy and efficient. The gate area was clean and uncrowded, and the gate agent was friendly, courteous, and professional. The flight itself went like clockwork. We experienced a slight delay, but that appeared to be related to operations at LaGuardia rather than Delta. Once underway, the flight was smooth, and the landing was gentle and uneventful. The flight attendants were equally courteous, attentive, and professional throughout the journey. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Thank you, Delta, and well done to the entire crew! 🙏🏽💗

No beverage/snack service without any explanation or reason. Late boarding and delayed flight.

Gate agent in LAS named Juliett should win an award for excellent customer service.

Leslie the gate agent was incredibly helpful with helping me get on an earlier flight! I saved several hours of airport time thanks to her, and she made the process easy and quick.

The flight was delayed to board, then delay in landing and extremely bumpy landing.

For some reason, there was very little volume on the cabin announcements. You could not hear what the pilot or crew were saying.

Carmen was an absolute delight on the flight staff! Everyone was lovely and made it a very pleasant flight.

I don't know why the crew decided to board 15 minutes early without informing anyone not at the gate. Why would you have the app send a notification that we're boarding on time, instead board early, and then rush me to the gate. Then have me check my carry-on when I specifically packed my bag as to not do so.

No headphones, forced to sit in another seat that I did not book, had to check my carry on when I boarded the plane I saw backpacks and other non carry on items stuffed in the carry on holder! Horrible experience Wi-Fi did not work either

Terrible - the flight was delayed taking off after boarding. Then the flight circled lga before landing. Significant delay

Good flight, even though there was a delay, still got back on time

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.

Our seats were moved for no reason. The plane was old and wifi and tv were slow. The flight was delayed over an hour for a paperwork issue. Only bright spot was the flight attendants good service.

The crew did not ensure the Evermore seats had their carry on space available. When my family and I boarded, we saw people putting their carry on suitcases in the overhead spaces above our seats and then proceed to the rear part of the plane. This resulted in us having to check our bags and being late to our meetings/events.

The crew was friendly and helpful. The entertainment system in my row did not work for movies and TV shows and the Direct TV cut off in parts and stopped showing the baseball playoff game.

Non-stop commercials were frustrating when trying to view direct TV

Great. I was in mint class. Security was spectacular. A lot of room on the flight! And the WiFi worked this time- it didn’t work the last time and I am on a business trip so that was a problem.

My original flight was cancelled. My replacement flight was delayed over 2 hours. I lost my whole day in NY

Delays were crazy long (over an hour) both for boarding and baggage claim

awful expereince. boarding was a mess and not communicated, then we sat on a hot plane and were at risk of getting kicked off

2 hour delay and a lack of air conditioning on the plane. Not a good combination

Poor, had a 5+ hours delay. Kept sitting in the aircraft with three kids. It was terrible

We had bad delays and waited for hours on end, we did receive a 12 dollar coupon to use in the airport though. Oh wait, we got that on the plane so we couldn't even use it. I truly never want to fly American ever again.

I was able to enlist on standby for an earlier flight, and eventually made it (last row). However, the experience was poor and felt unfair. On the standby list, I was ranked #2 (#1 had been cleared a seat). The person ranked as #3, who was also in the queue alongside me was given a seat much earlier - with group 4 boarding (a seat within the first 2 rows after business class). When inquired about why I was skipped-over on the priority list, the gate agent first paused (likely cuz she couldn't explain) - and then gave me the standard expectation that if a space opens up, she'll give me the seat. Despite my priority ranking being higher, I was unduly held-back, and could have missed the plane - unfairly giving advantage to someone else. Luckily one seat opened up; but given the unfair assignment of standby seat by gate-agent, this was a subpar boarding experience.

It was a short flight so there were no entertainments nor super comfortable which is OKAY, just the review system doesnt allow for N/A which is why okay was put, but overall good! No delays and nice crew

AA was fine....the overall experience was subpar, but not due to the airline due to broader issues

Good flight, regional jet so old and seats could use an upgrade

Flying on this airline is nothing short of a full blown circus clown show. On a recent return from my mother’s funeral, my only available choice from IND to PWM was American, which I hesitantly booked as I rarely fly them for many of the following reasons and never will again. I was booked IND-PHL-PWM totaling about six hours. The flight was cancelled due to NE weather. They rebooked me on a two stop flight IND-DFW (Yes DALLAS)-PHL-PWM, still all on the same day. After arriving in DFW, they continually delayed the DFW-PHL flight due to maintenance issues on the arriving flight. Finally it was delayed to the point that my PHL-PWM connection was no longer possible. They then rebooked me thru LGA with the short flight the NEXT DAY to PWM and offered to put me up for the night in NYC (or so I assumed). The flight DFW-LGA was then delayed so much that I asked to be put in an earlier flight with a lessor delay. Throughout this day chats with their AI assistant were useless as were subsequent chats supposedly with a real person(?). Only one customer service agent in DFW was actually helpful and appeared to care. Upon arrival at LGA post midnight, they issued me car and hotel vouchers in Trenton NEW JERSEY at a very old Howard Johnsons ONE HALF HOUR from LGA. The hotel was an $85, 1.5 rated hotel in a very sketchy area of NJ that I would have never voluntarily booked. As I prepared to catch the car back to LGA the next morning I received a text that my flight was cancelled. TWICE IN TWO DAYS. I went to LGA hoping to have AA book me on an earlier Delta flight. The full service line was at least 200 people deep, so I tried to reach a real person agent by phone. After 1/2 hours on hold I gave up and waited for my later LGA-PWM flight. It actually started boarding on-time, but only shortly after announced a maintenance hold. We were told it was nothing serious, just an adjustment to the Captains seat. Only one update was given while we waited 1.5+ hours for a “SEAT ADJUSTMENT”. Can’t forget to mention that on all of these planes the WiFi only worked on two. During that time at least three others flights in my area announced that they were overbooked and were taking volunteers before bumping people. Another flight to ORD announced a gate change and less than five minutes after announced that they were really not changing and announced for everyone to return to that gate. Can’t forget to mention that on all of these planes the WiFi only worked on two.🤡🤡

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.

Sat in the airport waiting for my flight for 5 hours. Finally got on the plane only to be thrown off and told that my flight was cancelled. Zero customer service. Nobody spoke to us. Just the worst

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.
