MarcFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2026
In the Charlotte airport, eat at the Midwood Smokehouse: great pulled pork say, and try Old Mecklenberg beer, a local german style brewery. They make Altbier and Kölsch! The. AA terminal at La Guardia airport is bramd new, with great food and shopping. Free bus between airport and Jackson Heights subway station. Subway is much faster than. a cab to. Manhattan. Only problem is finding. the elevators at a station or on tne subway platform!
RobertFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026
Get there early so you can enjoy some of at the great restaurants at the airport before you board.
BelindaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
I prefer Oakland over SFO. I liked the self-check for my suitcase for the bag drop . Getting through security went smoothly. It would have been really nice to know my boarding time was 1/2 hour later than on my app. I only found out that boarding was 1/2 hour late after rushing to the gate. I would have had time to go to my airport club had I known. Bag pick up at JFK was fast once I got to baggage claim, that was great

Keep checking on AA flight status frequently. Do not leave home till the flight status is confirmed.
Verified travelerFlew with JetBlue-Aug 2026
My most frequent trip is between JFK and SFO on Jet Blue. Food options at SFO are amazing, but expensive. Sadly, getting through security at JFK is a hassle and takes an incredibly long time. Give yourself plenty of time. Also, when I arrived at JFK around midnight, there was no place to get food and I was disappointed to learn that I needed to take the air train all the way out to Howard Beach to get an Uber.
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.
NoahFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026
JFK airport was really hard to navigate, and security line took nearly 45 minutes; we nearly missed our connection to fly from JFK to San Paulo, Brazil.
pFlew with JetBlue-Apr 2026
Its a short flight and you dont wait very long to get your checked bags but it is a haul to get to ground transpiration from the terminal. Also, Jet blue terminal in Boston is meh...
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
As I said the terminal for Alaska at JFK is horrendous -- new but very , very large with long distances to get to the gates and not enough automatic walking ways for a terminal of this size -- and 3 escalators?? Really! If you can get a direct flight from another airline I would definitely change but they may be the only one around.
JeffFlew with Delta-Dec 2025
Worth being a SkyMiles member for the free checked bag Plan extra time at Miami, the walk from the MIAMover to the check in was very far and the moving sidewalks were not functioning.
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
JoanFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024
SeaTac should add sand to the painted floor from the terminal to the light rail. It is VARY slippery when wet and the northwest (Seattle) is known for rain.
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.
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.
Verified travelerFlew with Kenya Airways-May 2024
Get to the airport early especially for International flights so as to make sure screening is completed. The Delta kiosks are glitchy and do not always work
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.

Avoid arriving at JFK Terminal 5 if you plan on using ride sharing. Long slog to pickup area due to construction till mid-2025

No real issues on this flight other than the overhead bins said reserved for premium customers for a large section that was over non-first class seating

No real issues on this flight other than the overhead bins said reserved for premium customers for a large section that was over non-first class seating

Upon arrival at Eugene, they pushed the flight 45 minutes, then as that approached they pushed it another hour, then as that approached they pushed it another hour, about halfway into that they moved the boarding time/departure time forward about 15 minutes. More than a little bit annoying!

The back of the plane use to board first after handicap with children and first class. Now the back boards last and there’s a long line waiting to go back while everyone is putting their luggage up and standing in aisle just talking. It’s hard on the elderly. I’m elderly.

Trouble linking to the Tmobile wifi. The legroom on the 737 was fantastic. No more knees touching the seat back in front. Plenty of charging plugs and inovative clips to hold phones and tablets.

Free tmobile wifi was great! Crew was efficient and friendly. Crew gate checked our luggage and let us board in group C because of it. Loved that! The best part was that our family (3) was seated together. Thank you so much!!!!!

Crew was fine.at check out I didn't get my debit card back.and didn't know until I was in Seattle. There was a 5.5hour delay. I didn't get to Washington til 530this morning. So now I have to get a new card and change alot of stuff.

Delays. Again. Haven’t had a good experience out of Seattle in most flights. The flight was delayed and passengers were all bunched in one area even after the doors closed when there were tons of empty seats. Attendants chastised passengers for wanting to move and even embarrassed one man for telling him tons of the empty seats were actually premium seating and he needed to go back to the back of the plane the seats have been getting increasingly uncomfortable and the snacks are terrible if you get one. No options for people who don’t/can’t eat sweets. Prices keep going up and amenities and service keep dropping. Air travel has become more like taking a very expensive bus.

For the third flight I’ve taken on Alaska this year there were delays. It’s become almost a gamble and hope for the best especially catching the late flight out of Kalispel to Seattle. Don’t even get me started on the flight out of Seattle to Sacramento. I will try another airline whenever possible moving forward.

The entire staff were professional. I was surprised at their commitment in every aspect. My first time flying the airline.

As a deaf person I appreciate the assistance provided by the boarding staff and the flight attendants.

My flight from Atlanta to Oklahoma City was delayed multiple times. I ended up arriving in Oklahoma City nearly two hours later at around 1:50 am the following morning. This was a highly disappointing experience.

My Delta flight 2423 from Atlanta to Oklahoma City got delayed multiple times. It was originally scheduled to depart at 10:41 pm EST with a 11:58 pm CST arrival in Oklahoma City. However, after multiple delays, the flight finally departed Atlanta at around 12:40 am and arrived in Oklahoma City at around 1:50 am. What was even more disappointing was that none of the crew members acknowledged, let alone apologize, for the delays. These delays were not due to weather and were only due to operational/mechanical issues on the part of Delta. As a former Platinum SkyMiles member, I valued loyalty with Delta. However, after having similar experiences in the recent past, I'll be switching my loyalty over to American Airlines going forward. This was a highly disappointing experience.

Love Delta. I'll take connections to stay on Delta even if another airline has a direct flight.

The main issue was the quantity of the drink. The hostess gave only half cup full of the soft drink. I was thirsty and was expecting full glass like every other time.

Delta always provides stellar service. I am always impressed and will try my best to travel via Delta if I can afford it.

This flight was the flight we missed due to deltas delay at our first airport going TO Atlanta.

Wi-fi was out for the whole flight. I pay a premium to fly Delta because it has wifi and because it was out I didn’t get to work on anything I wanted to. I’ll have to make it up later this week by spending less time with my family.

I enjoyed the whole flight and the crew was amazing i dont usually fly delta

I upgraded to first. Quick and easy boarding. Comfortable seat with power and a nice IPA.

Flight was delayed due to needing a replacement flight crew. Delta changed the aircraft type in Detroit. One hour delay. But once in the air, good flight

The boarding agent and checked bag agent were both rude. It only takes a second to be kind. However, the flight crew was amazing. I got a turkey sandwich and it wasn't bad---not great but not bad. The internet was my biggest problem. This was a work trip and I REALLY needed the internet to meet a deadline but it didn't work for 80% of the trip. Very disappointing.

I tried to check in beforehand from Ireland. The Jet Blue website sent me to the Aer Lingus website and vice versa. I tried to get a boarding pass at Dublin Airport as well, but they said they couldn't help me either. I had to wait until I arrived at the gate in Boston to secure a boarding pass...it was a bit nerve wracking.

Great flight. Best in years. Very clean craft. Easy boarding. Communicative pilot. Friendly flight attendants. Absolutely smooth take off, in flight and landing. Very comfortable seats. Smoothest flight I've experienced in years. THANK YOU JET BLUE!

I was asked to pony up an additional $239 (over the $735 paid originally) for a one way middle seat, which was very uncomfortable. Where did you expect me to sit?

Jet Blue sevice was good. Just don't understand why they charge for earphones to listen to flight entertainment. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Mostly good, flight take off in time and land earlier I can’t ask for more..

The crew was not nice this time. I asked for a drink one time and the girl didn’t say anything to me and just got me the hot drink while walking super fast to the back. We were sitting in the back and she wasn’t doing anything except socializing. She was upset I asked for something and she had to do her job. I also didn’t fully have it in my hands when she handed it to me so it was dangerous. She was abrupt and rude. She wouldn’t allow for people to spread out like previous flights we had been on if they were empty, and there were empty rows. It was strange and she enjoyed being angry at us.

The plane was FREEZING COLD. Like I was wishing I'd brought gloves. Is this how JetBlue sells more blankets? Other than that, all fine. Crew just as nice as usual. A flight attendant asked (who? The pilot?) to have the air turned down for a great number of passengers who were as cold as I was. They (again -- who is "they") did not.

Not having an assigned seat until boarding and then having to check my bag.

Cancelled flight with no specific instructions to get a boarding pass for another flight. The whole flight of people were in line for an hour because there was only 1 person to help at the desk. This was unusual for JetBlue.

Cabin staff were very disengaged, spoke with no eye contact, dismissive. Disappointing compared to my United experiences.

awful delay, awful communication, zero updates throughout the experience of a giant delay

It was decent, there was no WiFi on the flight but the FA’s gave everyone a warning once we boarded the plane. Unfortunately it didn't give me enough time to download my entertainment content.

Delayed and WIFI was not working for most of flight.

I am generally an American Airlines loyalist but this flight was not good. I was seated in an aisle seat and the gentleman in front of my had his seat fully reclined which made it impossible to work on my laptop, eat or drink.. The gentleman in the middle seat was watching something on his phone without headphones.

Disorganized boarding. Mandatory to gate check bags. Curt flight staff. No space for cabin bag, even when I was in first class.

Like all of the flights I took to get down to Dallas. They were delayed

They are still charging me after taking 466 and 833 for round trip from AR to to Bradley airport from 19 to 21. Then poor experience. Am hurt and I will say it on social media. Please stay away from this airline. I see in my bank account they are still taking 644. Am trying to stop it. I used to fly United airlines and I suggest that if you don't want extra charges and good service you go back there. American airlines delayed my flight again and I was late for my meeting, no recompensation but charging me over and over.

Good communication at the gate and very nice crew in the flight

Unfortunately we had turbulence because of the weather and when we were about to land in Miami, the pilot brought the aircraft quickly up because another plane was in its way. The pilot was remarkable however we weren’t told until we started our second descent. Our flight was GOOD. The flight from Miami to Hartford was packed, so many people. It was late at night and we were tired and just wanted to be home. Obviously, the aviation staff preformed well.

Air was off while waiting on the runway and the temperatures became very uncomfortably hot. Flight attendants were very loud and rude the entire flight.

I booked tickets from San Diego to Cincinnati months in advance to attend my sister’s wedding, a wedding where I was serving as the officiant. At 10:00 PM the night before my 6:00 AM flight (just 8 hours before departure), I received an alert that my first leg to Denver was delayed, causing me to miss my connecting flight to Cincinnati. When I called Frontier customer service, they informed me that they couldn't get me on any other flight that would get me there in time for the Saturday wedding, let alone the rehearsal dinner. Because I had a critical role in the wedding, I was forced to buy a last-minute ticket on another airline for three times the original price, costing me well over $1,000 extra. Even with the emergency flight, I still missed the rehearsal dinner entirely. When I spoke with Frontier, they agreed to refund my original ticket, but showed zero care or accountability for the massive financial burden and distress they caused. Their "compensation" for causing me to spend an extra $1,000+ and miss an irreplaceable family event? A $75 Frontier voucher. Frontier completely dropped the ball. Their customer service showed zero empathy, and their reliability is non-existent. I will never fly Frontier again, and no one else should either if they actually need to get where they want to go. Tip for anyone flying from Denver to Cincinnati: Avoid Frontier connecting flights or layovers at all costs, especially for time-sensitive events. Book direct flights with an airline that actually offers reliable customer support and rebooking options when delays occur.

Their customer service showed zero empathy letting me know that it was Frontier who was the real victim by refunding my ticket price, and their reliability is non-existent. I will never fly Frontier again, and I strongly advise anyone who actually needs to arrive at their destination on time for an important event to book with literally any other airline.

Flight delayed and missed connection. Next available flight was a 10 hour delay.

It got me to my destination? However we were an hour delayed departing, and we never received any updates or notifications from staff. Poor communication and customer service.

Frontier didn’t give us enough notice that our flight had been delayed. I was just entering the airport when I received the notice, less than 2hrs before my scheduled flight. They delayed it 1hr 22min because another jet left late out of Vegas. Frontier needs better communication with customers because I could have eaten at home and had someone drive me instead of paying for an Uber.

Great flight, no problems. I wish they would increase the checked bag weight limit. Packing was very stressful.

My experience with Frontier was terrible. We were delayed for 2 hours. At one point during the wait at the gate I left to go get a sandwich - I was gone probably 15 minutes. In my absence, they decided to move our flight up, boarded and left. When I came back the two attendants were very rude and I unavoidably had to purchase another ticket on the next flight. During this whole time, the Frontier app did not update the departure time, so I was SOL.

Flight delayed 9 hours. On tarmac for over an hour after arrival. Will never book with Frontier under any circumstances ever again.

Pro: The stuff was great. Friendly, patient and caring. Our seat row was clean. The bath room was clean. Our flights were close to on time. Con: The leg room is too small. No blankets or pillows. No entertainment devices at all. I can’t remember to have a food choice. I would fly again with frontier for short distances.
