Pros: "The flight attendants were helpful, the flight was smooth."

Pros: "Great experiencing getting on and off the plane"
Cons: "Nothing"

Cons: "Everything was perfect. Nothing negative to report."
Pros: "Crew was good."
Cons: "Plane was late"
Pros: "Wonderful flight attendants"
Cons: "nothing"
Pros: "The leg room and freedom of not having another seat in front of me throughout this flight was great. It made getting comfortable a lot easier."
Cons: "We couldn't hear the overhead announcements at all. Seated right next to the turbine intake on the wing made the amount of ambient noise especially high, so all the in-flight announcements were pretty much unintelligible."
Pros: "The crew were AMAZING and made the flight so much better. Boarding was easy. I also love that the pilot acknowledged the Service men and women on our flight."
Cons: "The older plan didn't have some of the perks that I expected from Comfort +... No conformed headrest, no USB plugs... I paid extra for Comfort + and expected some of these things."
Pros: "Everything was great"
Cons: "Lost luggage,, will be delivered to our house"
Pros: "Staff were courteous. Captain explained reason for delay."
Cons: "Over 20 minute delay to begin boarding with no explanation. Boarding process very slow due to excess carry ones needing to be checked."
Pros: "Not much to like since the flight was canceled."
Cons: "Flight was canceled. The system tried to automatically rebook us but gave us a new itinerary from our original departure point, apparently un aware that we had already left. So, we were stuck in Atlanta airport with no good way to our final destination. Instead of waiting for 22 hours for the next available flight, or driving for 7 hours from Atlanta to Cincinnati, we had to fly into another city and drive to Cincinnati from there AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. It was a rebooking nightmare."
Pros: "The crew was amazing. We had a two hour delay on the ground due to thunderstorms, but the pilot kept us informed and the flight attendants answered any questions and helped with everything. The pilot even walked down the isle asking people if they had any questions."
Cons: "We booked our tickets through American Express over 3 months before the flight. Delta has a new policy that these tickets are not allowed to have certain privileges that tickets purchased on their own site have. Unbeknown to us, one of these is the ability to select your seat. On the ride from CVG to FLL we were assigned seats in the back of the plane, but at least we were next to each other. On the way back, we were not assigned a seat at all. We arrived to the airport almost 4 hours before the flight and were still not assigned a seat and were told we would have to speak to the gate agent. Even we when spoke to the gate agent, they still did not have a seat. It was not until we had already started the boarding process that they called us up and told us that we were going to be sitting 5 rows apart, both in a middle seat."
Pros: "Rebooked to Atlanta because of a delay."
Cons: "Delta notifications and Kayak notifications were giving me conflicting information, however once I arrived at the Houston airport a Delta representative clarified my issues."
Pros: "After the extremely long wait to check bags which made us miss the flight, the date crew got us in another flight...it wasn't direct which is what I paid for, but they did get us out, but i missed an interview because of the lack of crew and a missing luggage."
Cons: "Checking a bag, delta did not have enough crew to get everyone thru to their flights. We waited for 80 minutes inline to check a bag. Then we ran to the gate inky to find the gate was closed less than 2 minutes before we arrived. At least 20 others also missed the plane because of the lack of crew and long lines checking bags. It was frustrating, irritating, uncaring crew checking in, and a bit rude. Then on of my checked luggage was lost enroute - which made getting off the flights even later which made me miss a meeting that I was scheduled to be at. All because you didn't have the crew needed to check in."
Pros: "Really liked the Airbus A320 (or whatever we were riding on). Plane, crew and experience were fantastic."
Pros: "When we were landing!!!!"
Cons: "To crowded, seats to to!!! close need personal space not everyone baths!!##!!"
Pros: "All flights were on time. Captain of plane rides were awesome at their jobs. Flight attendants were courteous and friendly."
Pros: "I haven't traveled by air for a number of years, it had gotten to be so crazy at checkin. Well imagine my surprise when I was checked in within five minutes of arriving at the airport. KAYAK took care of everything. All the flights were on time, I received email updates along the way and I am so happy I'm planning my next trip already."
Cons: "Even the babies in the waiting area were quiet on the flight, which leaves nothing for me to complain about at all."
Cons: "Your seats are too small, but we know the airline industry is not gonna do anything about it."
Pros: "Smooth price getting boarding pass and we were anytime sit together"
Cons: "All good"
Pros: "Crew was great seats like always aren’t comfy"

Cons: "Broke arm off wheelchair"
Cons: "Flight delayed and bot enough overhead space."
Cons: "Tecnical problems dellay no good american arlines i dont recomended"
Cons: "This flight was delayed by almost 5 hours. While I understand there are some delays sometimes, this was the ONLY flight to Greensboro out of DCA, and the times kept changing throughout the day, even though the gate agents knew that the issue was that the crew was delayed. There should be backup crew available and when there are delays, the passengers should be kept informed. There should be other flight options available when this happens. I never received an apology from anyone I encountered throughout the process, and some personnel were rude even though I was polite."
Cons: "The food choices were terrible"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight delayed multiple times and then again upon landing at destination."
Pros: "Pleasant service ; courteous team"
Cons: "Flight delayed"

Cons: "X"
Cons: "Horribly bumpy the whole time, no drink service because it was so shaky"
Cons: "There was no one at the ticket kiosk located by TSA and no sign that said they would be back or to go to another booth. After waiting 10 minutes I️ went upstairs and found a chaotic mass of people checking in at the actual open kiosk. The check in process was not clearly defined and even after spending 30 minutes checking a bag I️ still had to care my checked bag down to another TSA check line. In their boarding area there were minimal phone chargers. The plane was small and no leg room and a rigid uncomfortable seat. Also the flight was at night and they kept the cabin lights on. That was super frustrating to an exhausted traveler who was trying to sleep."
Pros: "Smooth flight with great service."
Pros: "boarding process was efficient and the seats on this aircraft seemed a bit more comfortable"
Cons: "lack of in-seat video and no free wi-fi and no power connections"
Pros: "Vegetarian meal was actually good!"

Pros: "On time, good service."
Cons: "Lost my luggage and flight delayed"
Pros: "The flight was quick once we took off!"
Cons: "I did not enjoy the long wait for the flight. It was delayed about 3 times, which put us back about 2 hours. T"
Pros: "We did eventually reach our destination safe and sound"
Cons: "In flight service on AA was very disappointing. This was a cross-country flight of 5 hours at the dinner hour. The plane was full [ as usual these days ] seat space was tight [ as usual these days ], but cabin service was practically invisible. The two stewards made one pass with the beverage cart, and that was it for the duration!! On a five hour flight!! When I went back for a beverage, the stewards were chatting at the rear compartment. This was the poorest American Airlines service that I have experienced in fifty years. I will avoid them in the future. Don"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Lost connection"
Cons: "We boarded, sat on the plane for a while, backed up from the gate, then sat for a while longer. 3 hours later, we had to go back to the gate because we reached the legal limit they can hold us on the plane on the tarmac. Another hour and a half or so later, we finally took off for JFK. We missed our first connecting flight and the second connecting flight I was able to rebook."
Cons: "You make me deplane just to take my bags from me because they don't fit the plane when I just flew 4 hours across the country."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Both flights, to and from around had to go search for my baggage and on the return flight I even had to go to a different terminal. The service is unacceptable. I will never fly with AA again."
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "My flight was changed to later time; however I didn't receive any notification. Flight was later and didn't get seat I requested on original flight."
Pros: "The gentleman at the departure desk was first rate. Polite and accommodating he was just what you would expect from an airline. Especially American Airlines. The crew was the same and I was happy to have decided to use AA."
Cons: "The departure was delayed approximately an hour."
Cons: "No entertainment, ran out of meals by the time they got to the back of the plane."
Pros: "Good flight."
Cons: "A little crowded"
Pros: "All of it"
Cons: "America Airlines...worst service and just a horrible experience"
Cons: "Having to check my carry on bag. Brought only a carry on to avoid baggage claim, but was forced to check it anyway. There is NO organization to the boarding process, so in the free-for-all at boarding, people in any boarding group are let through with WAY MORE than 1 carry on and 1 personal item, leaving no room for my bag and I was in group 2 (not sure how many groups there are). Horrible disorganization at boarding. Board from back to front for goodness sake...its common sense."
Pros: "All aspects of flight were perfect. Couldn't ask for anything more."
Cons: "Everything was perfect."
Pros: "Quick, efficient flight"
Cons: "Packed light with no toiletries in our carry on to avoid having to go to baggage claim. They announced anyone in groups 3 or 4 had to check their bags. We checked our bag, boarded the plane, and there was PLENTY of overhead space. Wasted 35 minutes at baggage claim."
Pros: "The flight was fine - once I was on it."
Cons: "Thanks to weather (what weather?), the Friday 8 flight was canceled. My only chance to get to Cincinnati "on time" was to take a 6am two-part flight from Newark via Charlotte, arriving in Cincinnati at 1pm. All around the American Airlines section you could hear people say that flights had been canceled like this all week. I did not have time in Cincinnati to do half the things I wanted to do, and I had so little sleep on Friday night that I had to spend too much of my first Cincinnati night in bed trying to catch up with lost sleep, Thanks, American! This was to have been the head-clearing out-of-town break I sorely needed after a period of over-intense work."
Cons: "We were never offered our drink or snack. Then the male attendant called my wife "sir" when asking her to put up the tray table"
Cons: "Everything"
My only real issue was that when I booked this flight through Kayak, I somehow booked via BudgetAir.com (though I was on your website.) Due to this, I was unable to access boarding passes coming or going via the Kayak app, or the Allegient app. Luckily I was able to print them prior to leaving home (and the resort printed them for on the way back), but using this site is definitely something I'll have to consider for my trip. I should have been able to access boarding passes electronically via the app regardless.
Pros: "Everything (except the minimal seats)"
Cons: "Cushioned seats"
Pros: "Employees from the gate agent up to and including the flight attendants we are very accommodating and helpful!"
Cons: "I love the changes that have taken place. I last flew with them 5 years ago and vowed too never fly with them again. Times have changed and they are a great Airline!!!"
Cons: "Roomy aisles and seats, on time boarding and flight. Great job!"
Pros: "Crew was friendly and accommodating."
Cons: "?"
Cons: "The padding on these seats."
Cons: "It wasn’t explained to me that Zone 2 allowed no storage of bags overhead. What was that $50 fee for? Hidden fees confusing."
Pros: "Boarding was super smooth,"
Cons: "Offer some type of entertainment, ie internet or something"
Pros: "Cost"
Cons: "OMG, miffed and aggravated right now!! Currently on Allegiant Flight 1355. PIE to CVG A non-eating flight. These POSs MFers decide to have a friggen pizza party in the middle of the flight"
Cons: "More space under the seat in front of me for my carryon"
Pros: "Crew unfriendly, unprofessional, and not courteous,"
Cons: "After 2 hour delay we had to beg for a water and the stewardess brought a tiny cup. Made for a very long night."
Pros: "The actual flight was comfortable and the crew was good."
Cons: "Flight time was pushed back a few weeks ago. Slow boarding process so we landed about 30 min late."
Pros: "They let us board early with two young kids"
Cons: "Everything is a la carte from food and drink to baggage"
Cons: "Unfriendly Flight attendants"
Pros: "No The crew was not friendly at all"
Cons: "I honestly am angry that I was charged for things others where not.This is ridiculous"
Pros: "Nice pilot and crew."
Cons: "The warning about alcohol was a bit sarcastic, but I guess in today's world people who have acted out are the real culprits..."
Pros: "Very efficient. Arrived early."
Cons: "Seating very tight."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and the price was low."
Cons: "Communication during our delay."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Super rude personelle"
Pros: "Price and direct flights to popular destinations."
Cons: "No frills. Charging $5 for a printed boarding pass seems a bit excessive"
Pros: "For exception of price there is nothing I liked about"
Cons: "Uncooperative ground crew App doesn't work if you are not from the US"
Cons: "It was to uncomfortable to sit there in the plane for so long. I also noticed one of the flight attendants with the long brunette hair kept over looking me but would be in all the guys faces instead. Pretty sure it was a jelouse thing. The shorter brunette girl was really pleasant"
Pros: "To be honest nothing"
Cons: "Missed flight any no one was willing to help us pure BS"
Pros: "Flight crew were friendly and courteous and even added some humor. Flight was on time for departure and 20 min early on arrival. Couldn’t beat the fare. Only airline to fly direct non stop to my location."
Cons: "Had to pay for drinks or snacks. Seats did not recline. Fortunately only a little over a 2 hour flight."
Cons: "Baggage claim very slow"
Cons: "So many charges at every step. $5 for boarding passes?"
Pros: "Wow, what an awesome flight , crew, price, and nice airport. Doing to try this again next time."
Cons: "Took forever to get the bags but hey , it is Christmas !"
Pros: "Keep the free snacks and drinks, NA or soda, I really just miss the legroom (nearly 6’ tall) and cushions, a chair that can ease back a bit. All airlines do this but you are worse than frontier, the major carriers have skimped but not like this."
Cons: "3 hour torture chamber. When she said it was their goal to make us comfortable, but more importantly to keep us safe I snorted laughter. It was a bit better and a lot shorter than the dark passage"
Pros: "It got us there and back for a descent price. The flight was fine but the seats are not comfortable and do not recline. I wouldn't suggest Allegiant for anything more than 2 hours and that was even pushing it."
Cons: "We arrived 3.5 hours early and the line was very long. They must have had a system glitch but didn't communicate to anyone in the line as to what was going on. When it did come time to board, they told everyone in the line that was going to Cincinnati that we couldn't check in until 2 hours before the departure time. Apparently there were some other flights that left before us. If they had told us to keep our place in line and to let other people through, that wouldn't have been a problem. But, they didn't. Their own website says you should check baggage at least 2 hours before your flight and no more than 4 hours before. They took it upon themselves to change the rules on people who arrive early. Then, once they no longer had anyone else to check in, they changed their rules again and start checking in people for Cincinnati about 2.5 hours ahead of time. A little communication and brain power from the staff would have gone a long way. After all that mess, the flight was delayed leaving about 15 minutes without any updates from Allegiant either."
Cons: "They were late boarding maki h us late to arrive in Cincinnati. Had open seating even though we paid for a seat"
Pros: "No hassle. No delays."
Cons: "Sent email out asking for volunteers to reschedule her flight. Got on the plane our seats were not the same as selected. And we paid more to select our seats. Friend of ours seat was switched also and instead of him sitting next to his wife he sat next to a person who did not have an assigned seat he was extremely large and he was hanging off The seat into the aisle I noticed an empty seat and had to ask the stewardess if he could switch seats instead of the stewardess offering on her own. The flight out was delayed approximately one hour various mechanics coming on and off plane until finally we were able to leave."
Pros: "Flight was cancelled due to Irma in Florida. Customer service agent was fantastic. I was able to rebook die the following week without any hassle."
Cons: "I didn't get to fly to Florida when I first chose."
Pros: "Very cheap ticket Non stop flight to HTS with excellent service. Eat before the flight. It is a short flight but if needed bring your snack... airports near big cities..."
Pros: "I never have any issues. Everything is always great."
Pros: "Very comfortable; flight crew very professional."
Cons: "Getting off late - but this was due to a storm, so I am happy that the decision was made not to take off on time."
Pros: "Everything they could control went very well."
Cons: "The flight had a lot of turbulence, but that's not their fault. I thought the pullout handled the situation well."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Best flight for its Price. It was on time."
Pros: "didn't like anything"
Cons: "delays"
Cons: "Our flight was delayed dor 10 hours."

Cons: "No leg room!"
Pros: "Setas were good. Good price and good boarding system"
Cons: "Aircraft cabin was a bit dirty"
Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice and helpful."
Pros: "The business seats were comfortable & our service excellent"
Pros: "I was able to change my seat."
Cons: "Five hour delay, no entertainment, no food... A really poor experience."
Pros: "Staff found us two seats together. Food was good."
Cons: "Email telling us about pre airport arrival check in and seat selection."
Cons: "6 hours of delay"
Cons: "The food was the worst. The setup was old. The staff was indifferent"
Cons: "we had a 9 hour delay"
Cons: "i ordered a vegetarian meal and didn't get one."
Cons: "The delay was horrible and the captain said it was because they needed extra sleep. I found this offensive as i was trying to complete a very long trip and was exhausted."
Pros: "boarding was fast, flight was on time, nice crew"
Cons: "pretty basic creature comforts, seats so so"
Pros: "We landed in NYC -- although it was first announced as Dulles."
Cons: "This flight was on Canadian Air under the auspices of United. I was not allowed into the United Club lounge despite the fact that I had business class ticket. I was informed that a business class ticket isn't sufficient for using the lounge when flying domestic. It is only good when flying international. They call that customer service. I generally avoid domestic airlines because of the customer service. The flight attendants were not happy to serve you. It's a small flight but they didn't even offer a snack -- you had to ask for it. And then they brought over a small basket with nuts, chips, candy bars, and a muffin. I took a muffin and it stuck to the roof of my mouth -- very poor quality. When I asked for a snack the flight attendant replied cocktail or soft drink never saying whether or not a snack was available.. She said this a couple of times before I could repeat that I wanted a snack to which she replied you want something to drink with that. I've been on many short flights in Asia and they will deliver a full meal and you don't have to ask for it. There was no entertainment but United did send an email explaining how I could purchase entertainment to play on my own device."
Pros: "Flight was delayed by 3 hours. Hostess was super loud repeated destination at least 100 times."
Cons: "Pilot was calm and understanding"
Cons: "The flight was delayed by five hours due to a mechanical problem with the plane. Little information was provided by United. Frustrating experience."
Pros: "The flight attendants, service and comfort were very good."
Cons: "Because of plane maintenance the flight was 4 hours late. I stood in line for two hours to get my flight changed since I missed my connection in Frankfort, and never got it changed. I got to Frankfort and stood in 3 more lines to get on standby. I’m hoping to get to Naples before the last ferry to Capri in order to make my sister’s wedding."
Pros: "Quick flight, faster than schedule. Flight attendant was good."
Cons: "Absolutely no leg room or arm space in the seats on US express jets. If the flight were longer than an hour it would make for an absolutely miserable experience."
Pros: "Got a window seat and had an amazing crew. Everything went smoothly! Dinner and breakfast served!"
Cons: "Everything was perfect!"
Pros: "Comfort was good"
Cons: "Food appeared stale at times Drinks like fruit juices were given in small amounts like a quarter cup by stewardess Appears that it was being rationed Choice and scope of movies were poor and narrow"
Cons: "Never got the chance to make it to Norfolk with United. They would not provide us a plane same day or our money back or money for the rental car we required."
Cons: "Great"
Cons: "First flight was delayed so we missed our flight. The least they could have done was given us a pass to the lounge to relax considering we came in on a red eye or a lunch voucher. The staff was a bit rude."
Pros: "All of it was good."
Cons: "Nothing."
Cons: "2 short a trip to serve food"
Cons: "The prior flight was delayed because after taxing, a crew wanted to remove an uncooperative passenger and went back to the gait. Subsequently, we arrived in Washington DC with only a few minutes before our next flight Albany was scheduled to leave. Because we had to do check our carry-on bags, we were 5 minutes later to the gait where the airline refused to wait for us to board although another passenger who did not have to wait for her bag was able to board the flight Albany. We therefore had to take a shuttle to Reagan international Airport, fly on a different airline to Hartford Connecticut, rent a car and drive 2 hours to finally reach our destination in Albany."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything"
Pros: "It was hot...the whole flight"
Cons: "Hot hot hot"
Pros: "Comfortable, no issues."
Cons: "Being jostled by carts and people walking by"
Pros: "Pilot candor"
Cons: "In flight service"
Pros: "Crew on the plane were very friendly."
Cons: "Checking in crew were not friendly. Boarding process for IAD->CVG flight was very confusing and staff did not really appear like they wanted to help. Once on the plane, the crew there was excellent. Net - airport staff in Cincinnati and Washington Dulles (not good)."
Pros: "The flight was smooth and staff was courteous."
Cons: "Temp inside plane was freezing cold. Pilot was asked 3 times to adjust. People were bundled up, hugging themselves and had blankets over their heads to try to stay warm. After third request to pilot, the temperature was set to so hot people were sweating and complaining. Typical United Airlines crew who think they are driving a cattle car"
Cons: "- The flight out of IAD was overbooked and left late. - My hand luggage was taken from me with promise of delivery at final destination - Staff in EWR was unhelpful and just short of rude - My luggage did not make the connection at EWR - There was no United staff in PoS to take my report of lost luggage -"
Pros: "On time flight. And the upgrade was wonderful"
Cons: "Because of missed connection I had to go from Dulles to Reagan airport"
Pros: "I liked that I finally made it home despite all the drama."
Cons: "I didn't like that I booked a flight nearly 2 months ago to only find out I didn't have a seat. I do understand its legal but I don't get how you are putting customers first by causing this drama. I understand how that DR felt when your guards ripped him out of his seat. I spent nearly 3 hours trying to find babysitters and alternate rides all while the snotty lady at the desk kept saying "you may not be flying out today but I cant tell you for sure". So to insure the bottom line you overbook then bump people at your leisure? This little game effects many lives above and beyond just the passengers. I don't plan on booking with United ever again. Why would I? There are many other options that take customer service more seriously. I would love to speak to someone higher up in this organization. But, im sure that will never happen."
Pros: "The personal are very amability"
Cons: "There was a delay after boarding / door closing. We just sat at the gate without explanation so we arrived late in Boston. I assume we were held for some reason by the tower but an update from the pilot would have been nice."
Pros: "Easy to board and check in, good price"
Cons: "It was extra to check luggage"
Pros: "One of the friendliest and most customer friendly flights I've had in a long time."
Pros: "not to mention non existent entertainment. TV never worked no.map. no interesting info from pilot unlike last pilot we'd had on this flight who'd given us great information on our flight. no apologies. we were told about 50 tvs were out on the flight. the chicken meal was delicious pasta awful (we shared because of that). the couscous salad which lady flight had been super this time was too spicy for us much less if we'd bought a child. if this is the positive ... we got there safely and the boarding was better than sometimes."
Cons: "see above. united which ran this flight more intent on telling you what you can't do than making it a pleasant flight. no entertainment. 75 per cent of food was inedible. will be looking at Ba in future or Virgin despite being United mileage plus members. how about some customer service training?! as a repressed brit living in us I'm not normally a picky passenger. but a smile? sorry the movies aren't working? hi? just the greeting over the intercom makes you feel as if you are an inconvenience. not friendly skies thus time. put off."
Pros: "Flight attendant was extraordinarily kind, especially for the couple sitting next to me with their adorable 7-week old baby."
Pros: "Meals, for a coach ticket, were surprisingly good."
Pros: "Service"
Pros: "Everything went smoothly"
Cons: "Uncomfortable seats"
Pros: "Short flight, the express plane had more leg room than the regular plane."
Cons: "VERY DISORGANIZED in Dulles. Flight was delayed because we were waiting for a pilot?? Then one happens to show up? Sounded a little sketchy..."
Pros: "The flight attendant was excellent. Much better than most of your other ones."
Pros: "We arrived 10 minutes early which allowed me to catch connecting ground transport"
Cons: "They lost my bag.. I checked two bags and one bag did not make it on my flight. Very frustrated."
Cons: "4 hr delay on the flight, terrible experience never flying with United again."
Cons: "Flight was canceled and United offered no reasonable options for returning home that evening."
Cons: "Dulles International Airport on a beautiful June 3, 2016. Flight was from Dulles to Hartford and due to depart at 12:30 pm. 12:30 pm - Notified flight delayed an hour or so because they didn't have a flight attendant for the flight. 2:00 pm - Notified flight delayed because Flight Attendant was found but on way. 4:00 pm - Notified the Flight attendant would not be able to make it, but they were looking for another one. 6:00 pm - Notified a Flight Attendant was found and was on a plane that was inbound and would be landing any minute. Notified plane with Flight Attendant arrived at gate and they would be there any minute and we could begin boarding. 6:45 pm - Flight was CANCELLED!!!!! I could go on about how I was rebooked on an 11:00 pm flight on American Airlines out of Reagan, my checked bag was not returned to me and I was told it was on another plane United plane that would beat me to Hartford, they shuttled me to Reagan. I got to Hartford and my bag was not there......SURPRISE!! This was ridiculous and thank god I was traveling alone and had time. I felt bad for the families with small children who had to suffer through this stupidity."
Pros: "Crew was very upbeat and friendly"
Cons: "LONG walk to car rental"
Pros: "The crew was good in making the best of an exhausting situation. The pilots were good, too."
Cons: "The problem is with Frontier itself. We were about 2 hours beyond when we were supposed to have taken off because we had to wait on the pilots coming into Orlando on a flight which had been delayed in Dallas/Fort Worth. Because of the delay, the total time in getting home from London was 25 hours."
Cons: "Communication, customer service, booking adequate staff (I.e. pilots) so that flights don’t get delayed until 1 AM"
Pros: "Price and on time"
Cons: "Hard seats that do not decline and lost my luggage"
Pros: "Liked the sense of humor for the crewmember"
Cons: "Charged for everything overcrowded"
Pros: "Nothing other than sitting on the first row"
Cons: "Waiting for more than 3 hours to check in my bag then pay a lot of money for it.only 3 people at the checking area."
Pros: "I liked that the staff was friendly and the tickets were affordable"
Cons: "I didn’t like that there was no complimentary food or beverage options."
Pros: "More snack/food options"
Cons: "Too long trip without free food"
Pros: "Smooth flight."
Cons: "Seats don't recline. Paid to "upgrade" to 5th row but no perks. No power outlet. No recline. No tray table. A small mini shelf. Attendants barely walk around and don't even offer you water."
Cons: "We were never told where our baggage ended up and were sent upstairs to ticketing, only to be told to go back down to carousel 5 to get it. It never showed up on the screen. The seats that do not recline were uncomfortable."
Pros: "Fast boarding"
Cons: "Pilot didn't show and he airline gave poor reasons why."
Cons: "I arrived at DAI at 6 am for a 7:35 AM flight today to CVG. The line probably had over 300 ppl in it! The Frontier staff kept telling everyone to get in line. What she should have been asking is where they were going, as not everyone needed to get in that terribly long line! After realizing I didn't need to be in the line, I got out, went to the kiosk (most of which were unused) , got my boarding pass and on I went to TSA. You need more staff, and staff who know how to manage the crowds to make this run more efficiently."
Pros: "I like that the pilots were careful of the storms around us. Flew around the worst. Approached the airport with the least turbulence. Our flight was 45 minutes late, but that was because the plane coming in was 45 min late. An airline can not control the weather, but I do appreciate knowing they take the safest precautions even if it costs more for fuel to fly around the storms. The plane was clean. The stewards were pleasant and smiled."
Cons: "I hate being nickeled and dimed. I think Frontier did make one change since my last flight. They gave someone a free glass of water - which I think was a good compromise. I don't mind being charged for drinks - even sodas - but water is too basic when poured into a glass. I did like if we had to pay for overhead luggage at least we boarded first to be able to store it. Although, being charged for a piece of overhead luggage to the point of adding $70 to the ticket for roundtrip - may remove Frontier from my idea of being a budget airline. Southwest with free luggage still looks good to me."
Cons: "The flight was delayed and we got a notification from google, but when we called Frontier, they said it was on time. And when we reached the airport they said, its been delayed. It caused a lot of inconvenience. Very unprofessional."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "The flight was delayed 2 hours, which I didn't get the text message until after I had dropped the rental car and was waiting in line to check my luggage. so many hidden fees.... would have been cheaper to go with delta."
Pros: "This was an economy ticket and everything about the flight was fine but not wonderful. It made me think about what I value when I fly. The next time the 'cheap' ticket price draws me in - I will just add another $30-70 for a carry-on and/or checked bag which will make the price comparison more aligned."
Cons: "Have your credit card ready - nothing is included."
Pros: "Not much"
Cons: "Plane was delayed two hours, then we sat on the plane for another hour all for a one hour flight. There were maintenance issues and things done wrong on the plane. There was no incentive or even snack to help the customers get through the three hours."
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "The seats and no music hookup"
Pros: "Got me from point A to point B"
Cons: "Small cramped seating"
Pros: "Very friendly!"
Pros: "Operation went smooth. Early arrival."
Cons: "N/a"
Pros: "Nothing was good except that we landed safely both times."
Cons: "The flight attendants on both flights were extremely rude. When boarding the flight They'd slam the overhead comparments shut practically onto people's hands and shout that they were full. On the way there we went through a bad storm that kept us in our seats for over two hours. We weren't offered comp drinks or an apology in delay. They'd turn people away who needed to use the restrooms and treat them unkindly. I asked a flight attendant for a drink when the cart went by the third time and she stopped her cart, looked at me, and then kept going. Also on our flight back a woman fell in the dark and clearly hurt her shoulder. She was screaming in pain and at the top of her lungs "medic!" The flight attendents never came over the speakers and asked for a doctor or nurse, it was awful to see that poor woman in pain and the passengers helping her more than the attendants. We'll pay the extra money and use delta next time. They have class, well trained flight attendants who clearly show they care for their passangers and treat them like people instead of cattle."
Pros: "I liked the price, It was a last minute flight to see my mom before her surgery. The boarding was smooth. The cons though were the tiny seats from the 1970's and that even a coke, water and/or snacks were for sale and not complimentry."
Pros: "Direct flight, great rates, no delays or cancellations."
Cons: "Could not check in online or check luggage in online from Frontier's website. A message said In order to change any information, I needed to call. Apparently, using a third party to book flights prevents one from accessing which would normally save time and money saving features."
Pros: "The fast and friendly services."
Cons: "The seats were very uncomfortable, but remember it's a budget flight so it's normal."
Pros: "Plane was comfortable."
Cons: "Check in was crowded and under staffed, however I understand that is part of the pricing."
Pros: "Flight was canceled and I was not notified. Flight sat on tarmac, unloaded and then canceled"
Pros: "I liked that the boarding was really quick once it started. Overall I was satisfied with the timely manner and the friendly staff."
Cons: "My only real complaint is the seats. I know its a budget-minded flight airline but research shows the height of the average male is 5'10. Women 5'5. The seats did not reflect this at all."
Pros: "Cheap price"
Cons: "The late departure time"
Pros: "Boarding was easy, flight crew was friendly"
Cons: "Seats need to be more comfortable with more leg room, drinks were $2.99 and cost of carry on and checked luggage"
Pros: "The flight attendants were so pleasant and humorous. They also explained why things are done a certain way on planes. For example, the one flight attendant explained to us why we put our devices in airplane mode, so we don't drain our battery d"
Pros: "Our flight arrived early"
Cons: "The hidden costs are terrible. We were charged so much for every checked bag, every carry on, for seat selection and for any food on board. The cost for the ticket seemed like a good deal, but all of the hidden costs made it more expensive than it would have been on another carrier."
Cons: "It was absolutely terrible, start to finish. There is ZERO customer service, from the the check-in to the customer service hotline. DO NOT FLY WITH THEM. Absolutely horrible experience. Worst of my life."
Pros: "On my trip to Orlando I didn't get charged for a carry on bag and I only saw on the flight information about check bag charges. On the return flight they charged me $45 for a bag that fit in the over head easily. Don't like these kind of charges and will not pay them. So this means I will not fly Frontier again. Anyway to stick it to you and drinks were $3 for a can of juice or soda. Also after the fact saw they had almost a 1000 complaints and a 1 out of 5 star rating."
Cons: "The extra charges for carry-on bags and for drinks."
Pros: "Cheap flight!"
Cons: "The add-ons. The final price does not include picking your seat (thought that was automatically chosen when you pick your flight), carry-on charges, or snack/meal options."
Pros: "The flight crew was amazing."
Cons: "As the title states, both departure and arrivin flights weee delayed. Screaming children, mediocre aircraft, made for an unpleasant experience"
Cons: "My boarding pass did not work so I had to go and stand in line for an hour in the baggage counter to get an actual ticket. it still didn't actually work. The security gave me a pass to go with my ticket. Then the Pre check line didn't exist so I didn't get pre check anyway. Carry on baggage cost was too much."
Pros: "price"
Cons: "comfort level"
Pros: "On time, not overbooked, comfortable seats, clean."
Cons: "I hate paying for a beverage."
Pros: "The price was good"
Cons: "I did not like that Frontier charged $40 for a carry on bag Rediculous"
Pros: "Frontier offers amazing rates on domestic flights. Their crew is friendly, boarding is efficient, and they make sure you are told about all extra fees up front. I appreciate the simplicity and think flying with Frontier is an exceptional value."
Cons: "As much as I like the price, traveling like a sardine in a can is never an especially pleasurable experience. The seats are thin, uncomfortable, and do not recline. The staff provides no free food or water (but if you want ice, they'll be a little accommodating). And entertainment? Forget about it."
Pros: "price was very good for a one way trip"
Cons: "seats are not comfortable at all"
Pros: "I had a few extra seats around me. Used them"
Cons: "Seats are not comfy and Trey tables are stupid small."
Pros: "Cheap, didn't die. That was the only redeeming qualities of this flight."
Cons: "Pretty much everything else. They lost my checked bag (checked is cheaper than carry on for some reason). The seats weren't padded enough, didn't recline and window seats didn't have enough headspace. The attendants didn't tell us that cups of H2O we complimentary until we were on our flight back."
Pros: "Price was good for a direct flight"
Cons: "Pretty much everything else. I checked in online - where they clearly state that there will be a bag drop for prepaid checked luggage. There was not. Instead there were three people behind the counter (only two were actually taking anyone from the long line) - who seemed completely confused. They at least knew that the gate had changed, but they didn't know where it had been changed to. I found it. It then proceeded to change 3 more times. The final change was not announced, we all just followed another passenger who had seen the change listed on the airport departure screen. The final gate was "39" a door in a hallway that opened up onto a tarmac. We waited there about 30 minutes (after the scheduled boarding time) before the door opened. They had no scanner for passes, so the attendant had to write things down on paper when we showed him our passes!! The actual cabin is tight, but that's to be expected. What wasn't expected was the random turning off and on of overhead lights throughout the (red-eye) flight. It was like a torture technique. To round out this great experience, the flight attendant instructed us to de-board the plane in order. Row 1 (left side) then row 1 (right), etc. This clearly pissed off many passengers who had no carry-on luggage and could have just walked off while those with stuff in overheads waited. When I finally got to exit the plane, I heard a guy somewhere behind me say "f-you" to the crew as they gave us the traditional "have a good day". We all felt the same, just didn't say so."
Pros: "Boarding was average, crew was good, trip on a whole was good, you get what you pay for."
Cons: "Paying for what I think should be included, it was still the same price as if I bought from other airlines by the time I was done"
Pros: "The flight attendants were very nice."
Cons: "I have nothing bad to say."
