Flights from the United States: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew from the United States to anywhere 
ChristineFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
I am able to drop my bags off up to 4 hours prior to flight. This is a nice feature when I have an appointment that could run over a bit and timing could become an issue. I like to drop my bags off, then go to my appointments and not worry about getting to the airport within that perfect hour mark. The airport security line isn’t a time consuming process, so this alleviates worrying about getting to the airport to drop off rental and drop bags off prior to the hour mark. It gives a bit of flexibility and makes for a stress free travel day.
KathrynFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2026
If you have a larger group that needs to stay together the concord coach line is more reliable, clean and cheap down to Portland or Boston for a busier airport. I’ll be avoiding small regional airports until my kids are old enough we can split the family for rebookings
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
If you qualify for wheelchair assistance from gate to gate, don’t hesitate to take advantage of it. That was a lifesaver since they know their way around and have the latest gate info. They are in contact with gate agents who are expecting you.
ShashankFlew with Delta-Jun 2026
Fairbanks airport is rather small with one terminal so it is very easy to navigate the gates and tsa. We were able to get from ticketing to tsa to gate in less than 30 minutes
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2026
JFK was a convenient airport to fly out of if you arrive for an early flight. Download all your media ahead of time. don't buy the internet in-flight if you don't have to.
NicoleFlew with Delta-Jun 2026
Terminal has great options for food. Lots of seating and charging stations. If checking luggage and already paid online just drop them at the curbside and continue to the check point.
DeidreFlew with Frontier-Jul 2026
I found Trenton airport is a dream and very easy to get to . Parking for long term is very reasonable. I enjoy traveling with Frontier very accommodating airlines.
Verified travelerFlew with Qantas Airways-Jun 2026
If you have the ability and can afford to, I would DEFINITELY recommend upgrading to Premium Economy seating. It is well worth the extra money.
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
Pack healthy snacks. When a 2 hour flight turns into over 7 hours, mini servings of pretzels or cookies doesn’t cut it.
NandiniFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2026
Worth paying for the extra legroom in economy. The regular economy seating in UA is too cramped for a long haul flight
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
Develop a list of essentials, prepare for 3 or 4 interchangeable outfits, 2 pairs of shoes and try not to overpack!
RobertFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026

Once you’re past security, you have to take the tram to your gate area. It’s quick and easy.

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2026
Take a morning flight. Less chance of delay
LaneFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
When you are booking with Delta make sure you look at the features of each aircraft. Most Delta mainline planes have seatback screens and free WiFi, but they do have a couple aircraft you want to avoid if you would like these things. The smaller regional aircraft EMB-170/175 the CRJ 200, CRJ700, and CRJ900 do not have screens and sometimes they are not internet equipped. The only Delta mainline aircraft that doesn’t have seatback screens is the Boeing 717-200, but they usually have internet unless it’s not working. They also don’t have consistency in their first/business class product. It varies greatly, even among some of the same aircraft types so make sure you do your research before committing.’ To specific flights.
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
Check a map and take the train between gates. Signage is terrible. Detroit has allowed restaurants and boarding to spill out into the concourse, so can be a recurring narrow struggle through crowds walking between gates. If you see food you want, get it. Not as many food options, and not many healthy food options, as it would appear along concourse A.
ChristinaFlew with Allegiant Air-Jun 2026
The “Allegiant air only” airports are bare bones. They are packed. There’s no lounge. You want all that stuff you better fly a major carrier and accept at least one connection and pick a different Florida airport. But you don’t have to arrive a million hours before your flight so it’s almost like your house is the lounge.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2026
Our gate at terminal J was very crowded and seating is extremely limited. Security check was quick and smooth. They only ask to remove laptops and tablets. Liquids can remain in your carry-on if you don't check them. As usual, allow plenty of time to get through bag check and security - 3 hours like they recommend.
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
Find the speakeasy in Denver International concourse A and put your name on their waitlist. If you are going to any of the lounges, reserve ahead or immediately get on their waitlist. I was 50th on the wait list by the time I went from rebooking to trying to go into the Capital One Lounge.
LisaFlew with Allegiant Air-Jul 2026
Pack plenty of snacks, fill your water bottles pre-flight, bring in flight entertainment (book or download a game you can play on your phone) and order the aisle seat for additional leg room for comfort. There is no complimentary snack or beverage options, no in flight entertainment options, and the seats do not recline.
NFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2026
You need to check your own bags in, meaning you wait I line to print the ticket, put the tab on yourself and then go to another line to make sure the suitcase gets placed on the plane and under the 50lb weight limit. A lot of back and forth.
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jun 2026
Take photos of luggage (if you care about it) prior to boarding. Also, report issues at destination airport and not after leaving. Unfortunately i let my fiance handle gathering our luggage and didnt take note of the damage until we were back at home the morning following our return.
SarahFlew with Delta-Jun 2026
Delta had a very organized boarding process which I appreciated. The construction on the way to JFK meant my Uber had to detour through some residential areas which was annoying. I would have used the subway and AirTrain if I hadn't been traveling with my cat.
MariaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
I dont think any of local airlines now offering food for flying under 4 hours, so if you fly with kids or during your lunch/dinner time. Pack your own food or you will only get tiny bag of pretzels or peas during your trip.
CourtneyFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
Delta, Delta, Delta. JFK has first priority to NYC's airspace, so if weather is dicey, go out of there versus LGA. Due to limited airspace, LGA is more likely to cancel flights which is outside of Delta or other airlines' control.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
Check your flight the night before! My flight was canceled and rebooked but it is a common thing to have flights cancelled. The airport is small so going through TSA is fairly quick.
JulianFlew with Delta-Jun 2026
Be prepared for new screening processes including dog sniffing. You're asked to walk in group of 2 for about a 15 foot stretch while a sniffing dog follows just behind.
WaymonFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2026
Always select seats in 'A' aisle and remember overhead storage is extremely small which required gate checking bags if your carry on is med to large. (Ref to United Airlines.)
DadeFlew with Japan Airlines-Jun 2026
Lax airport was confusing and took forever to get around in. You need lots of time to get where you need to go. So give yourself lots of time
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
Expect to leave for JFK 3 hrs prior to flight if traveling by car from Upper West Side. You will want to arrive 1.5 H prior to departure
JeanieFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
Bring your own food and entertainment. The buy-on-board program may require advance ordering, and it can be expensive. Also, the on-board wifi may not work.
AngieFlew with Southwest-Jun 2026
Pay a little more and go with American or United. Also, fly earlier in the day. It seems that night flights have the crankiest crews on Southwest.
PatriciaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
Seattle is a huge complicated airport. Allow time to change gates if your passing through. And to get thru TSA and to your gate can take time
JonathonFlew with Aer Lingus-Jul 2026
Don’t sit on the inside seat during a lay flat flight. Don’t order the beef short ribs, they’re kinda fatty, and chewy.. Try all the whiskey.
ScottFlew with Air Canada-Jun 2026
Make sure you have enough time between connecting flights so ½ of your baggage doesn't miss the flight and take another 24hrs to show up
ErnestFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
If you are in zone 5 or higher be prepared because you may be asked to gate check your carry-on roller-bag.
ArturoFlew with Royal Air Maroc-Jul 2026
Bring a good set of wired earphones to access the onboard entertainment system. The airline provides a set that is less than ok.
Verified travelerFlew with SWISS-Jun 2026
Check the recline of your seat and the seat in front of you to make sure you don’t get crushed/crush anyone.
JoanneFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026
The runway to gate took a bit of time. So if you have a short layover pay for a seat up front .
RasheshFlew with JetBlue-Jul 2026
Hafw the outlets at Ft Lauderdale Airport were not working, but the bag drop off and security line went without a hitch
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
I wish I'd know where Alaska's ticketing was, since there were only 2 little counters. Also, cincinnati's TSA lines were pretty formidable.

It’s a mess checking in through TSA. Lots of travelers but only 2 machines open to get through. The same goes for car rentals. Lots of renters but only a few desk workers. Plan to arrive early by about 2.5 to 3 hours early in Lihue
DeidreFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
At PDX, the Alaska Airlines section is large and confusing, especially for older people needing assistance. So arrive at the airport quite early. The staff at the airport also need to remember that the newly remodeled space is unfamiliar to many passengers.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026
Be ready for delays. The airport only had one active runway and that caused a huge line of planes waiting to take off and that really delayed the flight

Only do carry on the checked bag was stressful and time consuming.
MitchellFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
security access line for Premier access was very reasonable, process was less than 10-15 minutes. Leave time for dropping off a rental car - is a bit of a walk and then AirTrain transfer due to the current construction - so allow time for less stress. take advantage of the tables in the boarding area for charging devices or doing work.
BabuFlew with United Airlines-May 2026
If you want to get into a lounge, I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time if you can. Otherwise, you have to get there, scan some code and then get in a queue. Everywhere you go you have to wait. Just be ready for that.
ChristineFlew with EVA Air-Apr 2026
Look up the actual seating room on the plane you fly, especially if you're over 5'3" and flying economy. EVA Air does provide vegetarian meals by early order and they seem to be vegan.
Verified travelerFlew with Turkish Airlines-May 2026
Turkish airlines was very generous in baggage allowances. You do have to pay attention to the weight limits, but we were allowed a personal item, a carry-on, and two checked bags per person.
HartajFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
My main tip is to allow a bit of extra time at SFO, since the airport is currently undergoing renovations. It is nothing unmanageable, but giving yourself a little buffer can help avoid delays.
MaryFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
Also there is a lot of walking always make sure you have enough time in between flights get situated on your gate and tsa then use the restroom and snacks it helps alot

RobertFlew with Allegiant Air-Apr 2026
Fly from Flint. It is a smaller airport so easy to park, short security lines, short walks to the gate, etc.
DeepaFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2026
The TSA precheck feature is useful, and the security checkpoint to gate walk is around 20 mins, not too bad.

It's always best to arrive early if possible in the event that there are any delays with TSA.

Most overseas flights to Europe are tedious. I try to eat a little lighter the day before to stay comfortable. Also I like a neck pillow and eye coverings. We've flown on many different airlines and out of a few different airports. This flight with United went smooth, no delays. Food could be improved and flight attendants could smile a little more.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-May 2026
Don’t plan on using overhead bin space if you board after group 4 on any American flights using 737’s. They are frequently full by the time the 4th group boards. And, if your carry on bag has to be checked at the gate, be sure it has nothing breakable inside, as it may not survive that process.
MichelleFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
Remember that if you do a savers flight to include your bags in the checkout process. Otherwise you will have to check it in at the airport and there is an additional fee. Also Remember to print the boarding pass before arriving.

Here’s the part that confused me the most. JetBlue flies only from terminal 5. Delta (at least) arrives in terminal 4. Be aware that there is a lot of walking to get out of terminal 4, then you board the sky train, then you walk more, and finally get to terminal 5. There, surprise! You have to go through security again. At JFK, some security lines are ridiculously long and slow. It’s very annoying that transit passengers must go through that again when moving between terminals. One more thing related to terminal 5 where JetBlue flies - there is absolutely nowhere to sit and almost nothing to eat before going through security. The security lines were better organized though and it didn’t take that long.

Chicago airport is super chaotic. We had come in from an overseas flight and were required to get our checked bags at Baggage Claim and recheck them for our next flight, which took a while. Then after going through a LONG customs line (again) and rechecking my bag, I was told to take a shuttle to a different terminal for my final flight. Even though I never left the building and had no access to the outside world, I had to go through security AGAIN (boots off, dump out my water, wait in long lines…) My advice is to be sure you have at least a couple of hours between flights to deal with the insanity.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
Make sure the flight you select has more than 3 hours as time allotted for transiting to another flight. Most of United Airlines flights get delayed and if you don’t have enough time, you’ll be missing the next flight for sure. Have extra budget for shelter expenses because most of the economy tickets does not qualify for shelter accommodation/ voucher when your flight is delayed.

Flight time kept changing and so did the gate. It was very frustrating

Flight time kept changing and so did the gate. It was very frustrating

Exceptional. The gate crew responded quickly and got me onto this earlier flight as the final passenger, saving me more than four hours of wait time for my reserved flight.

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

Boarding process of asking for volunteers to check bags goes against the system you had before with 2 bags checked free. This process is more of a guilt trip than a caring attitude toward the customer. In addition bag-size scrutiny has increased which also slows down the process of boarding. My wife said she will not fly on your airline again unless there is no other option.

Eveeyrime I fly they are begging for bags due to cabin overhead space. What they should so ia take the bags that are clearly too big to fit wheels first on their side. And those of us who give up the bag should really get their bags first. When boarding, nobody wants stupid jokes about how hot it is on board. Give us some cool air. Im usually sick from the heat by the time we take off.

No wifi, seems to be very common with Southwest currently. Everything else was normal.

Poor customer service, no accommodation for passengers when the flight was delayed over 5 hours.

Friendly crew kept coming by to make sure all was ok, provide additional refreshments, etc.

It was good. Last flight was delayed but I always say that is in God's plan

Red eye from San Diego. Temperature of the cabin was way too warm and the air duct flowed very little air.

overall the crew onboarding and providing service during our flight was great; they were friendly and helpful. I said ok to the entertainment because there was none, but the crew explained why which was very helpful. I am a diabetic and the type of snacks are not diabetic friendly (full of carbs and sugar). However, I am always prepared because I know the catering is for the larger population.

While it wasn't the crew's fault, it was a frustrating flight. We sat on the runway for 2+ hours. Both of the flight attendants were excellent and did a great job checking on the passengers. The pilot did keep us informed about the wait. I appreciate the crew apologizing for LaGuardia airport's backup.

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

This a short easy flight. No food or drink but that was not an issue since we were only in the air for 35 minutes.

The meal tray was not usable it was completely uneven

My experience with Delta started with my luggage being found ripped open with items missing. The baggage office told me to bring the bag, and I wanted them to see how I found it. The agent refused, so I carried my bag into the office myself. The agent was nice enough to fix the zipper and gave me a red card with a number to call. I followed the steps; first one department, then the baggage department took over. This took more than two hours on the phone. The return flight was okay. The flight lead was checking her meals and then asked if we wanted anything before departure. However, throughout the flight, I had to ask for things because she was reading her book;which I have no issue with if she had been more attentive. At the end of the flight, the pilot appeared annoyed with the flight lead for not following his instructions regarding a meal he had requested; a chicken sandwichand said, "I asked for that for the flight." On the positive side, my work event in Vegas went well, and now I'm home relaxing.

Internet connectivity still seems to be touchy on these flights, making it difficult to rely on it for getting work done.

The ac must have died, it was way to hot on this flight. Boarding g was chaotic. The flight was delayed for boarding. Not a great experience.

Comfortable seats. Nice service online. Short flight, so not a lot of time to enjoy.

Awful. There was an unexpected delay of nearly three hours because there were not enough flight attendants. I understand this is likely due to FAA regulations; but in that case, Delta should coordinate with smaller airports such as RDU to have extra flight attendants on the ground and "on call". In addition, this was the second 2-hour+ delay to Boston on this route in one week.

Old 757 with poor entertainment system. United no longer partners with United for free text and email. O'Hara an absolute disaster! Limited gates clauses two hour delay. Unfortunately this appears to be the norm.

The flight to America was freezing. The overnight flight back to the UK was boiling hot and the cabin stank of toilet or occasionally perfume, even though I was several rows back from either bathroom. Food was tiny portions. Two small pieces of tough and dry beef in random gravy with pretend mashed potato raking up most of it. Very little veg. Salad was ok. Wooden cutlery broke within minutes of using. Lots of old films for entertainment. Some new ones. Generally a bit rubbish.

It was a good experience, unfortunately my checked baggages were come late and not arrived on time.

Very stressful to locate United Airline boarding area, delayed flight, changing boarding area again to another location with all tiredness 😩. But flying was fine.

Staff and flight attendants were very polite. Flight was smooth. My seat on the plane was a bit broken so it would not stay in upright position but it was fine for the most part.

Flight staff and all was fine. Food always sucks on planes so nothing new.

The flight crew were very helpful. The seats were very close together. There was barely room to sit without touching the person next to you.

I’m an EP on AA every year for more than a decade but this was a very pleasant and surprising experience. Clean and sizable plane for HOU to CHI. 5 row first class. And excellent food in first class the steak option was really good. Your flight attendants even better. Seat 5A

It was hot and not as comfortable as the flight to Chicago. Must have been a different plane that needs to be worked on or replaced.

My flight was delayed so bad i missed u it so i just said never mind

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

There were alot of delays without any information. First, my original flight was overbooked so I volunteered to stay back. The layover was hell, I sat in the airport for 4 hours. I was highly disappointed because no one was around to provide answers.

The flight was over an hour delayed. The problem was they had the wrong aircraft at the gate, Joe in the world does that happen?

My flight was delayed several hours, which is to be expected (American never fails to disappoint me!), but the parts that really bothered me are as follows: 1) I was unable to add myself to the standby list for another flight in the app, nor could the gate agents figure out how to help me do so (the app is difficult to work with and simply did not allow me to perform the action of adding myself to the list) 2) When I asked the gate agents to add me to the standby list, the agent said that he had added me, but I was not able to confirm that I was on the list in the app; as it turns out, I had NOT been added to the list after all. He had lied to me and/or failed to add me to the list. 3) I figured out I had not been added to the standby list when I spoke to the (rather rude, snippy, and dismissive) other gate agent, who finally did add me to the list after giving me some pretty unnecessary attitude. I understand that gate agents experience the worst of stressed travelers every day, so I appreciate that I was eventually able to make it onto the standby flight with their help. However, the app needs some SERIOUS attention!

The power outlets were not working for my row. Also felt like the seats have gotten smaller. I was in the window seat and felt like suffocated, as the two passengers next to me were tall and wide.

Delays and multiple changes in gates. In accurate info sent to phone. Worst flight in years. With no apologies or recompense.

No AC, no beverage service and no explanation from the captain. 4 flight legs in 2 days with no internet service.

No service on New Orleans to DFW or DFW to San Antonio. Also no explanation from the captain why we had no AC. Unacceptable!

They lost my bag on both the going and return flight of my round-trip.

Flight was on time and the flight crew was exceptional.

I know Frontier is a “no-frills” airline. I understand the concept. However, I jumped on some tickets for our family vacation, expecting to play a bit of a game to figure out the family bags and not over spend. In the end, I got the short end of this deal by far. 1. I did not expect them to charge the baggage fee for each direction. It makes the fee look high-ish at a glance, but reasonable. Then when you get to checkout and realize you have to pay it twice to come home with your luggage, it becomes ridiculous. 2. The low checked bag weight limit. I am used to packing a 50lb bag with my preferred airline. Frontier’s artificially low 40lb limit more quickly triggers the extra weight fee, which almost DOUBLES the price of the bag if you go over ($79 for the bag/$75 for the next 10 lbs) 3. The fee for a carry-on bag is the same as a checked bag but with a lower size and weight limit. Make it make sense! 4. The seats are terrible. My 2.5 hour flight almost had me losing my mind. I’m 6’3” and my femurs barely fit in the space provided. My knees had to wiggle just right to jam into the crack next to the armrest of the seat in front of me. The cushioning was thin and inadequate. I am tall but I’m not a freak. These seats are unacceptable. 5. I overheard the woman next to me speaking with the gate agent about being charged a $25 fee for not checking in online - she checked in at the airport counter when she arrived. That’s ridiculous. She was old and in a wheelchair. She had a paper boarding pass, and was obviously not tech savvy. She should not be punished for that. 6. They do not have good placement in the terminals. It was always out on the end or down on a subfloor, and we had to walk out on the tarmac almost every time. In Denver. Their home airport! 7. Every time I loaded a new page on the website while buying my tickets or my bags, it was constantly trying to upsell me on some esoteric bundle. Like, a pop-up every time. Very annoying. 8. No screens in the boarding area (at least where we were) to confirm you’re in the right place. Just static gate number signs. I am sure these are standard practices for Frontier, and I should have read more about them before I purchased tickets, but as a result of this single round trip, I do not plan to ever use this cut-rate airline again. I would rather pay the normal amount for a ticket and be treated like a customer instead of a mark.

Our flight was delayed 2 hours and when they changed the the time to 1 hour I wasn't alerted and when I checked the gate the plane was still there but they already shut the doors so I had to buy another flight.

Great except upon arrival it took them a long time to open the doors

Frontier feels like a family I Worked for Eastern Airlines back in the day and I felt the family vibe that I had then. Thank you

Terrible. Delayed my family flight for several hours affecting family plans

During the flight I suddenly felt very sick, and no one from the crew even tried to help me or check on my condition. They seemed completely indifferent and showed no concern for my well-being. I was very disappointed by the lack of care and compassion. I hope the airline improves its customer service and trains its crew to respond better when passengers need assistance.

Tiny seats, no entertainment, no amenities, delays, they charge for carry on and their allowed personal item is smaller than in other airlines.

The seats are tiny and they don’t recline. The planes are dirty and very small. You have to pay for carry on and even the personal item that you’re allowed is smaller than with other airlines. Flights are usually delayed and there’s no screens or any amenities or entertainment.

Flight was delayed but it was very smooth. Crew was very nice. Seats are uncomfortable but ok.

Flight was delayed and then my second leg was completely canceled. Had to get a refund
