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 
JacobFlew with Breeze Airways-Oct 2026
Whether you're flying out of Arcata California, Las Vegas, or Provo Utah, I recommend flying with Breeze Airways. If your trip allows, go with one carry on and pay for that carry on 12-24 hours before your flight while you're checking in on their website, not when you book the flight weeks before. It's super easy and you get the best discount this way ($45 instead of $50-$75 when you're at the airport or if you try adding the baggage while booking your flight through a third-party).
CliffordFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
Download any media content prior to your trip, take a tablet for a bigger screen, and take some ibuprofen or Tylenol prior to boarding so your butt and back will not be sore from the very stiff slimline seats.
WeiFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2026
This flight usually departs from gate B28. Enjoy a quick meal at Legal’s or Stephanie’s, refill your water bottle at the water station nearby, and enjoy the very quick boarding process implemented!
GeraldFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Try to fly as early in the day as possible. Delays compound as the day progresses. I always try for a flight where the plane arrives the previous night.
PAULFlew with Southwest-Oct 2026
You likely don't have to pay to check a bag since SWA always asks for volunteers to check bags for free at the gate.

JerryFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2026
Always watch the flight connection window. If it is less than an hour and changing concourses (like Dulles), you're asking for trouble (have your travel insurance contact number ready). Of course, that doesn't apply to American or United Airlines as they are typically late. If you get an Embraer 175 or larger aircraft, you will have a great flight. If longer than two hour flight, hope you don't get a Boeing 757 aircraft - the most ungodly uncomfortable sardine can with wings, ever made. Have a chiropractor or massage specialist waiting at your destination. If you have a 757 for Trans-Atlantic or Trans-Pacific flights, choose business class seats.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
They boarded us as usual, but then we had to wait on the plane for a long time until for some reason they had to switch flying crew. The plane was newer, so the seats were semi comfortable in economy class and everything was working. One good thing the crew on the plane asked people to stay in their seats and let people with connecting flight to go first as they were getting late for connecting flights to go further on their destination.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2026
Check your watch carefully! I was afraid I was going to be late for my flight because I thought my watch said it was an hour later than it actually was. Also, if you need special services, like a wheelchair ride between flights, be sure you make it at the same time you make your reservation and get a confirmation for it.
AnneFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Can upgrade from Basic(no change, no refund) to changeable ticket for $100 more -BUT then you must pay another $75 to reserve that new seat PLUS any difference in airfare. Not as great for changing flights as for cancel & rebook using credit received for original booking.
ChipFlew with Cape Air-Sep 2026
Since we live on an island, we try to arrange for a Plan B when making travel plans. There are two ways to ‘escape’: ferry or flight. The available flights on Cape Air, Jet Blue and United are scant, so plan accordingly.

Nothing much. just when it's time to check-in, try to check in at the exact 24 time limit window in order to get one of the earlier seats at the front of the plane
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Sep 2026
TSA had passengers at SEA-TAC shuffling a long distance between screening locations when one got backed up, but otherwise it was a smooth dropoff, check-in, shuttle to terminal experience.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
Be sure to dress warm & have plenty of cushion on your bottom. The seat of the economy class is not that comfortable. If you can afford to upgrade, get better class.
PatriciaFlew with Southwest-Oct 2026
Be prepared for full flights, check in as process has changed on seats, check in early as boarding has changed to groups now. if you can reserve your seat early
NicholFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2026
Ensure you leave yourself enough time at the airport. It is a busy airport so can take a little bit to get through security if you don't have TSA precheck.

Two different Delta employees tried to help, and they still couldn’t fix it. I was very disappointed.
BenFlew with Austrian Airlines-Sep 2026
Be prepared for a prolonged journey from the new car rental center to the terminal. Shuttle buses are a mess, it takes a long time to get on one and they don’t take you directly to the part of the terminal you need. Also LAX still has old on-board luggage scanners which means no liquids in carry-ons.
PaulFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2026
That you don't get much help making connections to a domestic flight after an international flight in Philadelphia. At least that was our experience. Get assurance your bags have been loaded. Or bring a carry on bag rather than book your luggage. Maybe Philadelphia is just a confusing airport, I don't know, but most trouble we've ever had.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Make sure you bring a fillable water bottle as often turbulence makes in flight drinks or snacks unlikely. Plan on delays and don’t expect any kind of exemplary service. I would love to say it’s a fluke but my last 4 flights have been the same. Mediocre to worse is about all you can expect.

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.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2026
Even though Tulsa is usually not busy, it is better to pre-check in online to get your travel and award numbers into the system. You can always go to the counter agent. I like to print the ticket because when going out of country or when luggage is delayed, you can hand the information over to the customs or baggage service agent.
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

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.
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.

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.

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

The service was fine, about the same as you get on most lower end airlines. I dont understand the perks of flying them much anymore for the cost.

the flight was significantly delayed. Not much was done by the airline to compensate passengers

the flight itself was totally fine. The crew were great and very helpful. The flight was delayed, however, over an hour without a lot of information as to why.

Had to walk back and forth between concourses to figure out which gate I was supposed to be at. The app and the flight board in the airport had different gates listed. Was told numerous times to check bags only to get on the plane and find that there was plenty of room for bags. The flight was over an hour late which had me landing after the last train departed. WiFi was unusable

My experience was okay I changed my returning flight and I was charged extra money which I dont think should be the case, especially because I experienced small delays from my going flight. And many flights were either canceled or delayed after my original flight time. I believe some customers should have the ability to change flights due to certain situations

I've taken four flights with Southwest within the last three months and every single flight was delayed.

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

Everything was pretty good. I would like to have more drinks (water) during four hours of the flight.

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

Very nice the whole crew was amazing and very professional. I had an offer for a drink it was handled great and amazing crew and nice flight.

I just wish the boarding process/time to take off after boarding was quicker and more efficient. I also wish that the overhead luggage was managed better. almost every time i fly there is no space for carry ons and they are either checked or I end up having to store it several rows back from my seat. Delta should not offer carryons for all customers if there is not actually space for everyone

Boarding was delayed by an hour and then we proceeded to sit on the tarmac for another 30-40 minutes. No clear explanation was ever given and the delay caused me to miss my connecting flight home. Was forced to stay the night in the connecting city which impacted my following workday and cause personal issues at home as well.

I didn't like like much about my experience with Delta. I had to spend the entire day at the airport due to some mechanical issues. My flight was supposed to leave at 8:30am didn't leave until 6pm. Horrible experience.

Bad. Flight was delayed due to maintenance issue with Delta. Seats were small, no service, bag got broken on initial flight. Cramped and hot. Sitting inside with no ac.

Flight attendent didn't let me sit in the empty window seat literally next to me. Doors had closed already so I moved over. She came over, asked for my ticket and made me switch back to the middle. The man on the aisle and I were right on top of each other. Seemed like a real power trip for no reason at all.

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

Stored my cloth purse under seat in front off me as instructed. When I retrieved it, half of it was soaked, along with everything inside it. I don’t really know how that could have been prevented because the area did not look wet, but I was not happy about it.

Seats needs to be wirer and food is very poor

Seats are uncomfortable and left me in pain in my tailbone area. I got about one hour of sleep.

Phx - ORD was nice 737 with starlink and the ORD - grr was ancient bare bones airbus with not even a power port lol

No white linens in premium economy . Salad was literally frozen. Food was terrible. No snacks. Ran out of food. I asked a flight attendant for snack on hour 8!of 16 hour flight and she said they don’t offer snacks and called me crazy for not having my own snacks for the flight.

It was easy to board, and the staff was friendly and helpful. What could have been better is that I shouldn't have to pay extra for a seat that doesn't recline.

Was on the plane sitting longer than the actual flight in air was, boarded at 5:45p and didn't take off until 6:50p flight was only about 30 minutes long. Just was poor experience will booking more with American Airlines.

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.

On Time. AA is late due to maintenance all the time.

Seats were very tight for a 17 hour flight. Baby cried for 15 out of 17 hours.

Flight attendant super rude demanding I remove my carry on baggage from overhead and place under seat. I stated I am an ADA passenger and need the leg room as the seats are very tight. That’s why I boarded early for the extra time to get situated. She said, we need the space. I replied “How can that be as only a few passengers have boarded so far? I am executive platinum status so I understand the rules and you are discriminating against ADA federal law. Please stop”. Her answer… then you should find another flight! Not ok. Addressed with senior flight attendant. So unprofessional and discriminatory.

Perfect from check in at the airport to the flight all staff were very friendly The plane was nice and clean and modern Because I’m here in the UK to visit my Dad who’s critically ill the details of me getting here were very important and nice to see staff being pleasant and professional

Both departure and return flights had mechanical delays. Their planes are antiquated resulting in a two hour flight taking almost four hours to complete.

Flight attendants were pleasant and helpful. Pilot gave fair warning about turbulence.

It was close to its perfect the flake could be took off early, landed early, didn’t have to wait for my daughter stroller luggage came out quick, very efficient, very good flight

Unfortunately the flight was delayed. On a positive note the status updates in the app/text message were good

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.

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.

My ATL–CVG Frontier flight was disappointing due to both an operational issue and unprofessional customer service. After everyone had boarded and the aircraft had pushed back from the gate, we were delayed because the passenger count did not match the flight manifest. The crew counted passengers approximately six times before the aircraft returned to the gate and gate agents boarded to help resolve the discrepancy. We were ultimately advised that a family had been allowed to board but not all of their boarding passes had been properly scanned. This resulted in a departure delay of nearly an hour. I did appreciate that the pilot kept passengers informed and tried to reassure us that some of the delay could be recovered during the flight. My greater concern was the customer-service experience. I am a Frontier Elite Platinum member and was seated within the first five rows. When I boarded, the overhead bins near my seat were already closed. I opened two bins to see whether my small backpack would fit. A female flight attendant sharply told me that a closed bin meant it was full, although the second bin clearly had available space. When I tried to ask whether I could simply place my backpack in that available space, she ignored me. Later, while the gate agents were working to resolve the passenger-count problem, I heard the same flight attendant make jokes about how many gate agents it takes to count passengers. She then made unnecessary comments about the male gate agent doing the count, men thinking they can do things better than women, and women knowing better and outliving men. Later in the flight, she also commented that passengers should know that the first thing they need to do is always be nice to the flight attendants. Courtesy absolutely should go both ways. Flight attendants deserve respect from passengers, but passengers also deserve respectful and professional treatment from the crew. Joking about colleagues who were actively trying to correct an operational problem, making gender-based comments in front of passengers, and being dismissive toward a passenger asking a simple baggage question were unnecessary and unprofessional. I fly enough to understand that delays and mistakes happen. What determines the quality of the experience is how those situations are handled. Unfortunately, the customer-service attitude on this flight made an already frustrating operational delay considerably worse.
