I booked flight for my son. He had an epilepsy episode while in line boarding the plane. No refund. WTF? Never again book with Kayak.

The queue before check-in was long and slow moving due to too few desks being open. THEN, WHEN WE FINALLY REACHED THE CHECK-IN DESK WE WERE CHARGED US$70 FOR 2 BAGS. What rubbed salt into the wound was the incredible number of large bags in people’s “carry on”.

I was unfortunately placed in the middle seat. Very, Very cramped.

Seats are uncomfortable but let room was adequate. The snack is pretty weak and the staff not particularly friendly.

Flight was on time, boarding was efficient, and crew was pleasant. It would have been a nice feature to have the seatback tvs as this was a cross country flight, but entertainment is not a requirement.

Flight was cancelled just before we boarded. I had to stayed an extra night in SF and arrived one day late. Also I had to flight back JFK and not Newark since they didn't have flight to Newark until very late the following day. A real bad experience on this flight. It took me 2 days to get back home.

Plane was very cold, but other than that, it was a perfect flight

My baggage did not with me , which upset the item that were inside as gifts . Well over 24 hours .

The flight itself went well, except it left 1.5 hours late, and about 10 of us missed our Alaska Airlines connection by minutes; they wouldn't hold the plane, even though our arrival delay was caused by Alaska. No gluten-free options among the snacks; you had to order meals separately, but there was no consideration for food sensitivities. NO TELEVISION on a flight from Washington, DC to Seattle or from Seattle to Anchorage. I didn't know that ANY airlines offering cross-country flights didn't have screens for entertainment. This alone is a "never again" for me.

Full flight where I had another passenger sitting in middle seat who said that he had lost 250 lbs from 500. The stewardess on exiting the flight advise me that I was going to receive a refund. I thought she was talking about another passenger. The stewardess saw that to make him comfortable I had lifted the armrest and flew for 5 hours to Seattle from Reagan DCA with a portion of his body on my seat. I survived. I flight to remember!!!!

Boarding was somewhat chaotic. Unable to evaluate crew or food/drink because captain kept them seated due to turbulence. Have no idea if entertainment was offered.

Worst flight in my life. Only was scheduled for a 45 min flight to get our connection flight. It was late by 40 minutes and we missed our connection. Delta was totally useless trying to help and unable to get my family on the next flight because they overbooked it Thus had to get a hotel at my expense and lost a day at Disney as a result. Cost me about a $1000 if you add 2 hotels meals shuttles etc to get thru the day Awful customer service by Delta in Detroit totally useless people

Delta did an awful job w logistics at DTW. Missed connection. We were there an hour early. SUCKED

Had to run to make it only to have the flight delayed to wait for all the late connectors Second drink service skipped up

Uncomfortable seats on 14 hour flight. Mediocre food. On time and great crew.

The landing was bad and the hostess came two times and i was sleeping but when she served the person that nexts to me I woke up and she didn’t even asked me if I need any drink or snacks two times!!!!

Crew were exceptional. Plane was quiet and quite empty, so I had a row to sleep across.

Gate crew helping to scan tickets was a little short tempered with customers. Flight crew was very friendly, welcoming , and provided excellent service on board.

Waited 3 hours on a plane to de-ice due to manpower issues. Waited another hour and a half once we landed because of a gate issue. Missed my connections. Created. A total of 13 hours of delay.

Was a great smooth flight from Detroit to San Diego.

This flight was canceled and delayed several times without explanation. The plane was freezing cold and no wifi for messaging. Getting off the plane was terribly unorganized and felt like it took forever….

The flight was delayed several times without explanation. The seats were terribly uncomfortable and wifi isn’t included. All these make for a less than ideal flight.

The flights was delayed by hours and it was the firmest landing I have experienced in my life. My back is still sore.

Internet service was erratic. Crew service was poor and slow. My luggage on this non-stop flight was lost and not recovered

Terrible. I didn’t fly and I had an important meeting the next day.

Equipment swap led to 2+ hour delay on international flight. And to top it off, boarding took forever.

Wretched scheduling - they got themselves into a critical crew situation and didn’t try to address it until 15 minutes before they had to cancel my flight

They cancelled two flight and got us onto another airline, which was also delayed.

Nothing, terrible travel experience due to weather and maintenance delays and was left stranded in Austin.

My husband and I pre-ordered our food, but they did not have my husband’s order, and my cheese plate was very average. I asked for a blanket and was told they don’t carry blankets on domestic routs. The flight was on time and smooth!
