Southwest has a serious issue with keeping their passengers in the dark about delays. They also appear to lack the necessary crews to deal with any sort of hiccup in their operations. The way they run their day-to-day operations is a joke. You are telling me that a hail storm in Denver, where hail storms are incredibly common, results in hours of delays due to every plane needing to be inspected for hail damage? Understandable, but there seems to be a skeleton crew of maintenance workers undergoing this daunting task. There was no particular order of inspecting planes, leading to some planes only having an hour delay or less in others having four or more just because of the luck of the draw of what plane got inspected with no consideration to how long the respective delay was. The entire time the passengers were told nothing except the fact that there was lightning in the area and the ground crews could not load the bags. This always happens that Southwest will incrementally delay a flight with no information given, leaving many frustrated passengers fuming once they find out that their flight is canceled. Don't make people wait around for hours at the airport giving them no information, just to keep them on the hook and prevent any action from being taken by the passengers in terms of finding alternate routes of transportation or accommodations for the night. How many hours of people's times do you think you waste by operating like this? How about having a fully staffed crew in one of your busiest hubs that is famous for severe weather that can effectively deal with a situation like this, or how about having planes on standby to quickly replace in case something like this happens, like all the other major airlines do. This is just like the Christmas fiasco but on a Denver scale, but again this is literally just from a single thunderstorm going over Denver in the spring. I'm glad I've stopped using Southwest as my primary airline and have switched to United. Every single time I fly Southwest, something has to come up. It's ridiculous and I seriously can't wait to finish using my miles so I don't have to deal with your garbage anymore. You used to be so good and I don't know why you thought you could just scrap your quality and expect people to deal with it. Oh, and I walked by someone getting CPR for over 5 minutes in the concourse. I hope he was ok. Southwest needs something similar.

Our flight to Oakland was great bc the plane was new but it was delayed by 15min not bad at all. Over all it was an 8/10
Our first flight was so delayed that we had 10 mins to board the next one. We requested if the flight attendant could allow us off there plane first and they denied our request even though I have seen this done before. Luck was on our side that we didn’t miss our next flight.
The flight itself was good. Delays were the problem. Original flight was scheduled for 8:10 pm. Got notifications all day -- actual time is 8:40; then 8:25; then 8:35; then 8:45. Then once I get through security, it's actually 9:35.
Crew was great but because of fog they diverted us to Ontario instead of our Santa Barbara destination. Instead of cancelling the flight as soon as we landed in Ontario, they instead held us in Ontario for almost 4 hours before cancelling the flight. I had to rent a car in Ontario to get back to ventura on time to get an elderly relative his medication and take over his caretaking… otherwise if I had taken the buses you offered from Ontario I wouldn’t have even arrived to Santa Barbara till at least midnight (according to southwest airlines employees at Ontario), and then would have had to drive back down to ventura. At least renting the car I could get up to ventura by 10 pm to take care of my loved one.
Boarding was quick. The flight itself was good. However, no charging ports for cell phones. Also, the food provided was just a few snacks. For a 5-hr flight, I would expect at least a sandwich.
Everything was great except for the in-flight wifi that wasn't working.
The crew was fabulous, outstanding, friendly, attentive and just great, really made my flight one of the best I've ever had, thank you southwest crew flight #474, from Los Angeles to San Francisco on April 2,2024
Everything was very good. I will fly Southwest again soon!
Luggage was intact and arrived at the destination. What more could you ask for.. haha. The delay in arrival wasn’t SW fault.. just selfish passengers not wanting to check their luggage knowing they were in the last boarding groups
I like the big picture of the Eskimo on the tail of the plane.
I would have appreciated notification that our flight was moved to another gate LAST MINUTE so that we would not have missed it. We got no such notice and had to spend another night to catch an available flight in the morning, which was huge inconvenience. We will never fly Alaska again.
Flight was delayed 2 hours. It was too cold inside the cabin. My seat mate had no jacket so she was shivering the entire flight. The stewardess says there’s no available blanket.
The airline was way too cold. We were freezing, I don’t know if that is normal. Overall it was pretty good flight. Always flown Alaska Airlines and I am not changing.
It was really good and that's why we choose AA over other airlines.
Seats are uncomfortable but let room was adequate. The snack is pretty weak and the staff not particularly friendly.
We landed in San Diego from Fresno 10 min late and our gate was occupied. We waited OVER AN HOUR to get to the gate and didnt get any updates about what was happening until I asked. Then we were told it would be another 5 minutes....which turned into 25. My wife was waiting in cell phone lot over an hour and finally had to leave. It cost me $40 cab ride and a fight with my wife. THanks for nothing Alaska Air.
The flight was delayed for 2 hours and the last delay was not communicated and had to check manually.
First time traveling with them and they were great leaving on time arriving on time very clean planes 😊
Great price on internet. I love that WiFi was so affordable. Got a lot done.
Really bad baggage handling. Had my Rimowa bag badly damaged at the latches.
It was good until there was a 3 hour delay because there was not any pilots to fly the plane.
Had to change aircraft due to a faulty door. Surprisingly it only caused about an hour and a half of delay. Delta handled this situation as well as can be expected.
Your crew could maybe answer the call bell at least one of the times I pressed it. I pressed it first time with 2.5 hours left in our flight bc my partner was hungry and wanted a sandwich. We finally got the sandwich with 40 mins left in the flight.
The Flight crew didn’t serve us until about 1.5 hours into the flight because of turbulence but after it ended it was fine to move around. They served us water only and snacks and then NEVER, NOT ONE TIME came through to collect trash until right before landing about 1.5 hours later. There was absolutely no need for that. They crew was just standing around talking and visiting with each other and really never tried to see if we might want something besides water or even try to come pick up trash. This is VERY unusual for a Delta flight but it was not what I would have expected for a 4 hour flight.
The plane from SNA wouldn’t start after 5 tries. The team gave me an option of flying direct from LAX and giving me a Lyft ride there! Perfect!
On my way home I had a layover. The flight from ATL to CLT was amended 5x while I was waiting. I could have driven home sooner. Overall from Dallas, Tx to Charlotte, NC I started my trip at 4:30pm, I didn’t get home until past midnight. I know things happen, but 5x to make me run back and forth in an airport from different terminals is excessive. I also upgraded to comfort + , I didn’t feel it was worth it. There was no benefit

There was a loud squeaky sound the whole time we were flying.
Had a broken tray in business class. Crew just shrugged it off.
The flight was excellent. The crew was welcoming and attentive.
Going through JFK’s security is a mess. The TSA security said no shoes on the bins. So, we place our shoes in the belt and they came out all over the belt. Boarding was delayed and Flight as well.
There were multiple delays but JetBlue tried to make the boarding and departure process as quick and efficient as possible. The crew was as detached from reality as could be, meaning: not very friendly and just doing things by the numbers.
40 minute delay before take off after boarding flight. Bright lights throughout night flight due Issues with light panels. In flight Entertainment nonfunctional
Another horrible Jet Blue experience. This airline has suffered the biggest decline of all from best to worst. TVs didn’t work (again). internet was temperamental. Boarded late and couldn’t get organized to serve snacks.
I hate their constant delays! It’s as if I cannot confidently make plans for timing when I'm traveling with them. I slept through it, so all I can say is it was good.
There was no wheelchair or wheelchair escort at the gate..unacceptable
From bag drop to boarding, it was great. In-flight is a little different. The seats were a little uncomfortable for that long of a flight. The rest of the cabin crew except for Eva was wonderful. Eva was not friendly at all. I've had to personally encounter her twice in-flight. First time was when I had to go to the lavatory in the back of the plane, and since it was the first for me to board such tiny plane, I didn't know we were using the crew toilet. She was giving me an attitude while telling me where and how to open it since it's not the regular push to open type of door. The second one was when I had to throw trash then use the lavatory again. I asked where to throw them, and unfortunately she was the only crew in the back doodling on her phone, she had to point it out to me with an attitude then told me to wait on the carpet, which I understand because I didn't realize that, but she could have been nicer. After all, I'm a paying customer, and assisting a passenger who isn't knowledgeable about the aircraft is one of the things she's there for. The rest of the experience and crew from bag drop to in-flight were excellent except for her.
It took an hour to get my bag after landing. Not exaggerating
Boarding process on JetBlue is an absolute disgrace. I can’t believe they can’t figure out a better way to board everyone. They called people with disabilities, mosaic and group A all at once and it was a disaster
Original plane sidelined. Had to wait an hour for replacement.
Crew was very cooperative and professional. Passenger's first checked in bag should be free.
Flight was delayed due to the late arrival of the catering truck, which is quite unacceptable. There was a beverage service, but no pretzel, or cookie, or nuts were served in coach.
Flighty delayed on boarding - then group 1 had to check their carry on bags but groups 3 and beyond could carry bags on - very inconvenient for weekend business trip with no checked baggage. Then delayed on the runway - before take off. No communication from pilot on why or how long. Wifi/Entertainment didn't work for 4+ flight. Upon arrival, attendants announced wrong carousel for baggage claim - everyone was waiting at the wrong place for their checked bags. This was a mess united!
Dinner was okay but the breakfast was not eatable on the flight San Francisco to Zurich.
There was no screens on board AND the WiFi didn’t work. My seat was broken and couldn’t recline so I couldn’t even sleep. The flight attendants didn’t offer anything to make it more comfortable. It was such an old cramped plane, when the person in front of me reclined I couldn’t even open my tray table. All the United ads talk about guaranteeing everyone gets a screen!
Fantastic. Smooth boarding with an infant. Never experienced it with any other carriers.
Food wasn’t very good, old business seating configuration on an old A340
An hour and a half late is UNACCEPTABLE. The negative impact to our family is unconscionable. And for the price we were forced to pay...
We ended up with seats in the very back. So they did not recline. Have no idea why, we reserved and checked in very early. The isles were very narrow and the seats had very little leg room. But they did give us water, and a snack.
