Understand you will have to check your bag if is cannot fit under the seat and there is no internet. Relax and enjoy the ride!

I wish I knew the deal to get uber/lyft in advance and if I should book while on plane or at baggage claim. I waiting’s about 10 minutes which I could have avoided had I known

Our flight to Philadelphia was full and the gate announced that there would probably be a full state for carry-on luggage at Zone 5 of boarding. In reality, they announced that the overhead bins were full after Zone 4 had boarded. Passengers need to be prepared.
LouesaFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2026
The airport is large so allow plenty of time even if you have TSA pre-check.
JacquelineFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2025
Get familiar with navigating the Portland airport. It’s been four years since I was there last visiting family and I believe the airport’s been refurbished and enlarged, etc. but it’s very nice.
CHARLESFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2025
There are no food or vendor services in the boarding areas of Terminal 4 at LAX.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2024
Do not check in your docs, and medication in a check bag. Carry with you to the cabin.
CHARLESFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2024
Make use of the food, beverages, and amenities in American Admirals Club in PHX before departure on any flight.
ElaineFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
If you have any metal in your body (e.g., spinal fusion screws) make sure you get in the line for the TSA security screening booth that makes you stand on the yellow marks with your arms over your head. I wish I had known this before I wasted time in the alternate line with the walk-through detector.

Watch out for “fake Uber drivers” know who’s coming for you

I didn’t realize that we had to take a train from check in in order to get to the gate. That took a lot of extra time.

On time departure and arrival. Had to be the oldest plane in the SWA fleet but it got me where I needed to be.

On time departure and arrival. Had to be the oldest plane in the SWA fleet but it got me where I needed to be.

Flight was delayed out of BWI unexpectedly / without a reason given but otherwise ok.

I got a bit sick on the flight, and was so grateful when the male flight attendant explained to me they keep the back row open for cases like mine. He took such great care of me! I was incredibly grateful.

Friendly crew. Snacks were carb-heavy. Flight was quite delaye

It was great and arrived home a little sooner than expected which is nice.

Multiple delays due to weather in Chicago, but the crew did their best to get flights rescheduled and on to their destination. I felt like the crews handled a frustrating situation very well, kudos to them! I was very glad to not have a cancelled flight.

The flight was delayed due to earlier issues at other airports. The crew was excellent & made it a good trip.

I flew twice this week on Southwest, was delayed over 2 hours both ways. From Pittsburgh to Chicago it was due to weather but the gate agents, pilot etc were great at updating everyone. Today from Midway to Pittsburgh the plane had come from an international location, kept getting delayed, no information was given until we were delayed for the third time. It was ridiculous, whoever scheduled that plane to fly to Pittsburgh after didn’t consider a lot of things.

The crew was very nice and respectful and everything went well.

Having a direct flight between Pittsburgh and Austin makes traveling so easy.

The baseline is to have everything happen as expected. That is what happened with the small exception that climate control in the aircraft sss not turned on when boarding started making the aircraft very hot. All in all great experience!

The crew was excellent but the entertainment did not work. The 3mm jack for the headphones was faulty and no sound was available for entertainment.

Very aggressive at the boarding area of only allowing one person passed a line/ sign

We were delayed so pilots can rest and had no WiFi the whole trip. First class seats are small compared to other planes

Only beverages were offered to first class and I thought the flight attendant could have also served the Delta Comfort as well instead of sitting down and staring at her phone and walking past all of us to the back of the plane to charge her phone more. There was a complete lack of turbulence and was safe enough for flights attendant to walk around in the front of the plane, collect trash and serve a few people water and turn off the seat belt light. Also didn’t enforce people putting their seats into the upright position and allowed two passengers to remain reclined during landing. They seemed out to lunch completely. Usually my experience on Delta is much better.

My tray was broken so i had no place to work or eat except my lap. Flight attendant said I would get an email with some credit or miles, it was a complete waste of time as I could only function at about 20% of normal. I have not received anything yet.

Delayed. Hot. Passenger next to me was so large I couldn’t move.

2+hrs delay without any reason provided and a cramped flight

Originally, I was booked in economy. I paid several hundred additional dollars to upgrade to first class. Then I paid several more hundred dollars to change my flight to a slightly earlier flight. I asked if the changed flight would also seat me in first class, and I was told that it would. When I boarded the plane, however, I was seated in economy. So, I paid $500-600 more than I paid for my original ticket for an upgrade and a changed flight - received the changed flight (which was nice), but did not receive the upgrade. So, I was not completely satisfied.

I noticed that the planes seem to be outdated. There was no entertainment per se. Also, the waiting area did not have any working electrical outlets

Just sat on the run way after we arrived early

New Max 10, first class seats have been shrunk. End of a 20 hour journey, it was United not Lufthansa, just glad to get home

Worst boarding experience, flight extremely delayed causing super tight connect and deplaning was a disaster as ppl were pushing and shoving to get off. Then after flying over 8 hours had to get off a job to next flight. Limited beverage service in Business class (water or white wine) no food. The plane was very cold (temperature) so uncomfortable

United didn’t even try to hold the flight for me. They knew I had a tight connection and when I arrived at the gate less than 10 mins after final boarding the flight had already gone. The gate agent wasn’t even notified that I was on my way. She was told I wasn’t at the airport

Everything went well except the turbulence what no one have a control of but pilot and crew handled very good!

I still prefer Delta, but Delta doesn’t fly to State College PA.

This flight was delayed multiple times and eventually canceled around 2-3ish. Original take off time was around 10:30am. By 3, there were no other options out of Houston, so stuck in Houston for from 3pm - 11am the next day.

Nothing bad to say about the actual crew or airline. It was nice to have a complimentary FULL can of soda, as well as a snack. Blankets and earbuds were also provided at no cost for this red eye flight. I especially appreciated the free WiFi and movie selection with the Bluetooth option. It helped the flight pass more quickly. No matter who you fly, boarding and disembarking are always SUCH a pain. As I mentioned, this is on the passengers and not the crew!!

Flight attendants rude and impolite… flight delayed by almost 5 hours.

Ok so apparently the new policy on United Airlines is that customers in the main cabin should NEVER be served more than once and besides picking up trash there should NEVER be another interaction with the customer for any reason.

We waitied for 2 hours for flights to take off. Make us to seat 2 hours in small space is not good.

Wheel Chair Access sucked. I had a guy from Bangaldesh drop me off without taking me to the gate

comfy and spacious seats for premium economy, nice flight attendants. only problem was the wifi did not work, and my entertainment screen was locked in Arabic language and all kids shows with no way of seemingly changing it. but the flight was fine and I arrived with no issues

Although it was a smaller plane, the flight was quick and uneventful.

We left nearly 40 minutes late, which is a long time when you're just seated and waiting. Otherwise, it went well.

Cabin was bone dry, no humidity whatsoever, and pretty warm; and beverage service didn't start for at least an hour. I had to go to the back for water and the FAs tried telling me it was always this way for all Miami flights, which is complete nonsense. Avoid the MAX8 like the plague.

Flight was 2+ hours delayed and they “misplaced” all 3 of our checked-in bags.

Internet is much improved, which is very important to me a s a business traveler. The off boarding of the plane was fantastic. Very quick and very orderly. We had to check our carry-ons before we got on the plane and they were retrieved and available to us very quickly. We left on time and arrived early. All very good things

I always looks forward to the Biscoff cookies and they weren’t offered….

The flight was overbooked. And the gate agent basically said that the flight will not leave unless two people came forward to give up their seats. Offered money. Raised the $$ too. But we were there for a while and flight was delayed. When passengers approached the gate agent asking what would happen if no one volunteered- the answer was flight would be cancelled! Ridiculous! It’s American’s fault for overbooking. The service level is going from Bad to worse it seems.

Not clean and was told I would get a great seat and it was not great at all

No knowledgeable staff at the counter or in a flight crew. No one knew why once flight landed at Philadelphia Airport then it took them 4 hours from runway to gate . Damn they took 4 hours to reach the gate . They messed up whole night for myself and for my kids.

Horrible communication about delay of flight and what options were available

Online check-in was not user-friendly. Too many fees, not cost effective.

FRONTIER SUCKS! The agent downstairs tricked me into booking, just to get to the gate. At the gate, they told me they couldn't help. I then called Customer Service. They and the gate attendants kept blaming each other. Neither side was willing to help the customer.

I had a terrible experience with Frontier. I arrived before the 60 minute cut off and was told that Frontier has a two hour window for bags. I was then told the next available flight wasn’t until the end of the day (I had booked a 6am flight). I took a look around and saw other people being told that they could not board their flights or that they had to pay additional fees. I opted to rebook on American Airlines. There’s absolutely no straightforward way to contact Frontier, so this ticket was a complete waste of money. Oh - and the kicker is that the lady lied about the two hour cut off.

My experience with frontier staff at the Denver airport was absolutely horrible. The manager on duty was even worst if was the worst experience I have ever had, I have never been treated so poorly as a customer in my life! The staff was extremely rude, eye rolls and attitude and then refusal to help me at all. I wish I could never fly frontier again that’s how horrible it was!

Good for the price. My only complaint is that the pilot should keep the air flowing while passengers are waiting to getting out of airplane.

I arrived 1 hour prior to boarding, and they said I was too late for a domestic flight. First time I heard that :-(

Crew members are very rude and not cooperate with passengers.
