Cons: "JetBlue is awful. TVs don’t work. Staff isn’t friendly"
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: "The plane was nice"
Cons: "I’m still sitting in Minneapolis so I would have liked to be at my destination. And I had to pay for the overnight accommodations."
Pros: "Entertainment was awesome. Although airlines are stingy with snacks, Delta had a good overall selection and very generous."

Cons: "More comfy seats and entertainment options. Crew, however, was excellent."
Pros: "The crew was amazing."
Cons: "A better movie and the check in was grueling. They did not have enough staff and one person spent 30 minutes helping someone repack at the check-in desk while we all waited. Pretty unacceptable."
Cons: "They tend to be very sensationalist with the people sitting on the exit road. It would be nice to have some food for the people that are vegetarian, something; just don’t ignore them and continue walking. This happened in both flights. Not even chips. Nothing."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Meals and more options to drink during flight. No entertainment system"
Pros: "It was an old plane, no WiFi!!! There is was an hour and half delay which no one made it clear as to why ."

Cons: "Everything was good, even the luggage came out super fast."
Pros: "Good price compared to direct flight on United"
Cons: "The check in process..there seems to be no benefit in doing the early check in online because there is only one Copa attendant helping the premium and early check in customers while there are four Copa attendants helping the regular check in customers and that line moves twice as fast! Seems idiotic"
Pros: "Crew was very attentive and professional."
Cons: ". The economy seats on the Lufthansa A350 were extremely uncomfortable and seemed excessively narrow as well has having cramped legroom. I could not get comfortable let alone sleep, and my backside felt like I had been sitting on a park bench rather than a long haul coach airline seat."
Pros: "My flight was delayed four hours, so I missed my connection to Sofia and had to re-book for two connecting flights instead of one, which makes for a long, tiring trip."
Cons: "I understand the delay due to weather conditions, but I wish I was rebooked for one, not two connecting flights. Now, instead of flying directly to Sofia from Frankfurt, I have to go to Munich first and then to Sofia, which makes my trip 9 hours longer"
Cons: "They told us there were no earbuds so recommended using our own. Our children had left theirs at home so they ran to get a $20 pair nearby. But the the plane DID have the buds; what we did not have were blankets — the crew said none were to be had."
Pros: "On the first leg of flight - united, we were surprised by the stewardess' request. We have 2 small children. The stewardess asked the man to change the seat so we can have more room in the center seats. We are grateful for that otherwise it will be very uncomfortable long flight."
Cons: "I am hoping for games but didn't find chess or any other games on the Lufthansa flight. Please add that on the flight otherwise I will stuck watching the movies the rest of flight."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and provided excellent service"
Cons: "The seat could have been a little bit more comfortable. Then again for a long trip, unless you are in business or first class, it's not going to be that comfortable."
Cons: "Fight could have been on time! It was over 45 minutes late, because of the crew"
Pros: "Baggage arrived with me. Upgraded to First Class because so many of those passengers got other flights the night before."
Cons: "Original 5 pm flight was cancelled because there was no Crew or plane, even though it’s a United hub. Though flight cancelled early, United could not get me home same day so provided hotel and meal. Next day flight scheduled 7:05 then 8 am, but even that time came and went without boarding. 15 hours delayed and no hurry getting the plane to depart at the stated time. Total lack of customer service and concern"
Pros: "Underseat AC power and USB power was the highlight of the trip."
Cons: "Food portions were tiny. Totally dehydrated at the end of the flight, and water was passed out in 100 mL servings. Insufficient space under the seat for a backpack."
Pros: "I wasn't expecting free in-flight movies and meals, which were very welcome"
Pros: "Everything on the flight was very efficient and organized—the boarding process, the excellent and pleasant service, the food, and the entertainment selections. Thank you for making a long flight enjoyable."
Pros: "Everyone was perfect...!!"
Cons: "Real meal is necessary, we appreciate the snacks but real meal is necessary."

Cons: "The flight got delayed 5h. This is my only complain."
Pros: "I got food, and entertainment"
Cons: "Less check up, they literally checked my passport 5 times and delayed the flight for 20 minutes which made me be late for my class"
Pros: "Seats not with big space but ok for a two hour trip. Crew attentive and very nice."
Cons: "Boarding. Riding on a bus before having access to the airplane is not comfortable. Can Aeromexico not afford what other airlines do? Food is just ok. A cold croissant is a poor example."
Pros: "Boarding was ok, but I was traveling on business clas and service, seat comfort, and food was really mediocre."
Cons: "My seat had the arm rest as well as the cup tray all cracked. Service by the crew members for the business class paxs was really mediocre and very poor."
Cons: "Two one way tickets were purchased to Cancun. The layover was 2 hours... but since the first carrier was late, it caused us to miss our connecting flight. Because the 2 tickets were from different carriers, the airline charged us $1600 to buy new tickets. I would never buy tickets this way again."
Pros: "Um nothing"
Cons: "Checked in online and got the check in line only to have the lady tell me I’m too late and that I never checked in. They did manage to charge my baggage fee though? I had to book a different flight and tackled on another $500 dollars to my trip. Will bever use my Aeromexico club premier again."
Pros: "Everything went well for the most part.. food not that great but The staff was friendly. The only 2 issues I had 1) no movie on the way to our destinmovies/shows on the way back. 2) my daughter got sick on the way back due to turbulence & I ask for a bag to put her dirty clothes in & was denied. Would have been nice not to have been carrying around vomited clothes on my hand."
