My return flight was much better than the flight there! I paid for seat to Veagas but not the return. Thankgoodness they assigned me a seat with additional leg room as I have back and leg problems. I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

I really appreciate it. With the flight already being super expensive due to gas prices and having to pay for bags (now) I needed to save some money.

My first flight from LGA to STL was not good. They didn't do service until over halfway through the flight, the internet didn't really work, and the crew all seemed like they didn't want to be there.

We were stressed about landing as our connecting flight was about to start boarding, being unfamiliar with the airport or where the gates were. We exited the plane to discover we were at the gate we needed. We would be getting back on the same plane but nobody told us we could have just stayed onboard. My wife and I were seated on aisle seats across from each other. We asked if there was a way we could sit together. Once we were at cruising altitude they let us move to an unoccupied row so that was nice.

It’s Southwest. The seats are small, the snacks are meh, it’s $50 to check a bag. It’s exactly fine. Could have been better. Could have been worse. It’s not Spirit

It's a shame that SW was previously my preferred carrier until they started imposing all these fees (luggage, seats,etc) and pulling back on other perks. I only flew with them this time due to time frame I needed to be at destination. Wasn't provided gate info during check-in, Gate info wasn't displayed at airport until last minute, gate info didn't match what SW personnel announced at fate. Kind of a mess.

Haven’t flown on SW in years. Flight was on time departing and arriving. Served vegan butter onion flavored pretzels which were bad. Coke served was in a tiny paper cup. Crew was not engaging. Felt like they were going through the motions. Old plane, tight seats and no leg room.

No delays and arrived to destination 30 min early. Staff was super friendly.

Pretty standard flight. We left late, but arrived early. The wifi entertainment is always nice. The free snacks and beverages are simple, but appreciated. I'm tall and the seats are an issue. I can deal with a short flight, but any longer, I have to find another airline where I know beforehand I have extra legroom.

Awesome experience. No in-flight video or meal. Still do not like the boarding process.

On time, good crew, easy flight. Just like the old days!

We experienced delays in small increments that added up to more than an hour. At the gate, staff showed little concern and compared our delay with the inbound flight’s two-hour tarmac wait, which didn’t address our situation. Once onboard, the flight attendants seemed tired and unfriendly. I understand delays are frustrating for everyone, but passengers shouldn’t feel blamed for them. During the flight, a bright light above the emergency exit stayed on. It was concerning, and no one explained it or offered passengers the option to move. After landing, we waited about 30 minutes on the tarmac for a gate, then waited again for an agent to connect the plane to the terminal. From the Reagan gate staff to the cabin crew and RDU personnel, the service felt dismissive throughout. Overall, this was a stressful trip and a very disappointing customer-service experience

delayed take-off, then had to circle in air for awhile, wi-fi did not work, then the cabin got extremely hot multiple times and the luggage was at wrong carousel at LGA. In addition, plenty of overhead space so they checked bags too early. Horrible flight.

WiFi only works on about 75% of my Delta flights. I rarely fly SW, but their WiFi works 100% of the time and is easy to connect. On my DL flight from DCA to BNA today, I try to connect to WiFi for about 30 minutes, but I gave up. I have a lot of work to do, and I lost two hours today. Very frustrating.

I don't know why the crew decided to board 15 minutes early without informing anyone not at the gate. Why would you have the app send a notification that we're boarding on time, instead board early, and then rush me to the gate. Then have me check my carry-on when I specifically packed my bag as to not do so.

Long delays at both DCA and MSP; Crew did not keep us informed (or very little). Airplane was showing signs of heavy use (not up to Delta standards). Food options for Business Class have dropped in quality. After landing we sat on tarmac for maybe 25 minutes with no provided chance to use the bathroom and crew did not tell us what was going on or give an estimated time to expect to be at a gate.

Flight was delayed for about an hour but overall good experience

The gentleman at the gate I think his name is RIE was exceptional

This flight was no comparison to our prior flight. I'm thinking it all has to do with the age of the aircraft.

2 of the seats in row 31 the entertainment system was not working, and one seat the tray table did not go all the way down. Flight arrived early and departed on time which was great.

Waited at the usual crowded gate at DCA where one ends up standing up because there aren't enough seats.

Tiny seat made for midgets. You can’t put a normal size human in such a tiny seat for 8 god damn hours! Hot plane, no air. Lost bags at Rome airport for 8 hours, lucky to have found them. Horrible flying experience, United Airlines should be embarrassed!

Terrible boarding - 4 flights boarded from the same gate. Chaos there; long ramps to the plane.

The couple in front of me were constantly talking over the announcement from the captain and this was annoying me.

Short. Nice quick flight, appreciated after Munich to DC leg.

The flight from Frankfurt to Pisa was cancelled and we were rebooked to route through London. The flight to London was delayed for maintenance issues and we missed our connection flight. Lufthansa automatically rebooked my wife on the next flight but I was not rebooked. I spent over an hour trying to get onto the flight. Ultimately my wife’s gate checked bag from Washington did not arrive in Pisa and remained in London. Very bad experience overall.

This was a small aircraft (relatively) and we were delayed half an hour on takeoff, which is not the airlines fault.

Flight delayed over an hour with plane on runway because of weather in an area of the country we were not in or flying to.

Flight attendant incredibly rude. Stuck her finger in my drink and didn’t even have the courtesy to apologize.

The very best airline service I have experienced. Better than domestic airlines first class and I flew Economy Plus!

The food was horrible. There was no. Wifi, and it was just terrible from bangkok to d. C

Good experience with this flight. Boarding was smooth with no issues. The short flight was good with quick drink & snack service. Nice easy way to get back from DC.

Flight is delayed by more than an hour without any reason, the jet blue gates kept changing every 20 mins and there is no proper communication. No ear phones provided in flight, there is a screen with entertainment but what is the use, I have earphones but the console has outdated audio connections, no usb C or bluetooth, they are living 15 years behind

A nightmare. Scheduled flight delayed 2 hours then cancelled because pilot timed out . Unable to find another pilot. Really?! Weather certainly a factor, but JetBlue seemed totally unprepared for the chaos that ensued when flight routes were cancelled. More cancelled flights, finally many of us who had been bumped from other flights were allowed to board a Boston bound plane around 3:00am, delay after delay, sat on tarmac for another half hour while pilot dealt with weight distribution issues (?), arrived in Boston 4:30. Crew were wonderful- same attendants all day and night and they were exhausted. Fortunately for me and my son that Boston was our final destination, not so lucky for many who missed connecting flights.

The flight was delayed 14 hours and communication was very poor. No one seemed to know what was happening and the gate agent was trying to help people for several flights. She was by herself trying to help 100s of people.

JetBlue worker, Blythe, was so amazing at the DCA counter. If it wasn’t for her, I’m not sure we would’ve made it through. Please thank her!

On time, friendly attendants, quick wheelchair assistance and help checking in bags. Also appreciated change in seats, more forward to make it easier for my 97 year old mother to board and exit the plane. Thank you, JetBlue!

Flight was on time and smooth. Customer service was decent

They forced me to check my hand luggage at the gate.

Still hasn’t left. Why are you asking how it was?

My flight got delayed and eventually canceled, then rescheduled. I and several others had a connection from Boston to Paris and asked several times if we would make it. They assured us we would and then rebooked us mid flight without our consent and closed doors early even though they said they communicated we were a bit delayed. We got stranded in Boston and I opted with being rebooked for a different connection to France since they refused to pay for a Hotel. I've now been in Europe for 5 days and still haven't recieved my bags. There was absolutely no urgency for the fact that I'm in a foreign country with absolutely no change of clothes or any of my medication. Such an overwhelming and frustrating experience.

Crew tried to accommodate late arrival due to late departure

I injured myself during my trip. The staff of American Airlines were very compassionate and empathic. They took additional steps to make my experience easier. Thank you!!

There was no ground crew at HSV gate when we arrived. The were busy with another arrival. We had to wait 20 mins for them to arrive and direct the plane to the gate. It took almost 45 mins to get my luggage. The luggage belt had 3 flights bags on it and the other 2 luggage belts were not being used. It looked like there was only 1 crew serving .3 arriving flights.

Liked: staff, no delays, Could use some improvement: Food, comfort, cleanliness, lack of chargers on the DCA -> DSM flight

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

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

Limited service due to turbulence, N/A Food and Drink. No entertainment

Flight was delayed which isn’t the airline’s fault, but the communication around it was terrible. I left the lounge to show up at the gate to board at the time in my app, and the flight in front of mine was still boarding and the inbound plane hadn’t even taken off yet. Delays were slow to show up in my app. Improved communication could have let me have a more pleasant experience in the lounge vs waiting 1.5 hours at the gate.

Wifi was good on the flight from DCA to Dallas and terrible on the flight from Dallas to Tucson. The forward head in the flight from Dallas to Tucson was putrid smelling entirely urine soaked. The flight from DCA to Dallas was delayed by almost 30 min with a plane change.

Sat on tarmac at arrival at DFw for more than 30 min waiting for a gate.
