Flights were full but SWA still managed to get everyone loaded and depart on time. No snack or beverage service on the first leg due to turbulance. Seats were clean but very little cushioning. Reasonable amount of leg room.

AC wasn't working then we sat on the tarmac in Austin for 40 minutes waiting for a gate.
Had a long layover in rainy Chicago. The staff were attentive - my husband needed a wheelchair due to a recent fall and unsteady on his feet. They are wonderful for those of us who need a bit of extra care. My only complaint was discovered upon unpacking our suitcases at home. One (we had 3 carry on size and one just a bit larger) had water damage to everything inside. All the clothing (just happened to be the case with the clean clothes) were wet. I know it was raining, but why would items inside be wet? The paperwork packed in this case was damp with ink running. There were momentos from our 10-day European vacation that I was hoping to scrapbook - but alas, they will be scrapped - too damaged to keep. The boxes of French chocolate were damp on the outside. My expensive camera now has a cracked screen and a Gaudi tea-for-one was cracked - even though it was packed in clothing. I know it happened on this flight as I repacked all four suitcases before leaving New York in the morning. My first unhappy experience with luggage at Southwest.
it was a short flight, so no refreshments. Could've used some water since I was running from the end of one terminal to the end of another to catch this flight
The flight took off late, which really stressed me out for 5 hours worrying about my connection. We started boarding late... not sure why. There was a long line for preboard of folks that needed assistance or were in wheelchairs and not enough attendants to help. There was one lady who seemed to hold up regular boarding bc she needed to consolidate her 3 bags into 2. I'm wondering why we all had to wait for her and not board around her. Crew on board was great! So funny, so helpful and very nice. They reassured me my connecting flight would wait... and it dead. Seems it was waiting on several connecting flights, so it took off late too. Overall a very long trip but I'm glad I didn't have to spend the night in the Baltimore airport. And why are SW terminals so far from each other. I had to haul from the end of one terminal to the end of different terminal to catch my flight.
Great no problem boarding suitcase on time for pick up
With early bird check in, I might start flying southwest again.
I stopped flying southwest a long time ago. I don’t care for their boarding process, especially when I have a family to try and seat together. The early bird check in made it so much easier. As long as you do that, it’s great.
Very helpful, convenient, nice crew members, no extra fees, helped us saving 4 hrs of travel by booking is on an earlier flight
They were great: helped us to get on an earlier flight without any fees. We saved over 4 hrs! Everything was great and affordable
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.
I was sitting in row 31 and felt bad smell coming from the toilets especially when boarding and exiting not much during the flight.
The flight was delayed by more than two hours. A notification ahead of time would be most helpful.
Great. They got us on an earlier flight. Really appreciated that
I had very little legroom and the only food available was really salty
Offer snacks/meals for people with food sensitivities. HAVE TV SCREENS!
Plane hit turbulence diverted to Houston. We'll probably get in after 3am
Cabin crew very friendly and pleasant. Flight left late but we didn't know why. Alaska Airlines app was not user friendly -- app wouldn't let us upgrade our seats, but no indication if flight was full. We wound up having to call the airline to request an upgrade and we were told none was available. Waste of time. Baggage retrieval was easy.
Given incorrect gate upon check-in, corrected by the gate attendant, D6 rather than D5, minor inconvenience. As with the previous flight, passengers were admonished to voluntarily gate-check carry-on luggage with the statement that those in the last boarding group would have no choice but to do so. If the Boeing 737 MAX8/MAX9 doesn't have room for carry-ons it's an interior design flaw on the part of Boeing. Posting an advance warning would be helpful, such as "Boeing 737 MAX planes feature limited carry-on space. Please be aware." SFO's amenities and TSA much better than MCO's. Crew was amazing! Brought my own food because Alaska's onboard selection has soy in everything. Beverage service was excellent. This was the first and last trip with Alaska after the previous flight's issues. It's no reflection on the crew of this flight. They were great.
The boarding gate is literally just an aisle to the concourse. There is no seating and it's shared with several other airlines. It's crowded, hot, and standing-room only. It's difficult to hear gate announcements over the PA system with too many other carriers crammed into a small space. I've enjoyed flying AA in the past on the west coast, but the BNA single gate experience is horrendous! Never again from BNA to SEA with AA.
Really bad baggage handling. Had my Rimowa bag badly damaged at the latches.
It was pretty good I was worried with the short Layover that I might not catch my connection but the gate was there
It was good until there was a 3 hour delay because there was not any pilots to fly the plane.
There was plenty of overhead room but half of the passengers were told they had to check their carryon bags. My partner and I checked in as early as possible and our seats were split across the aisle.
Friendly flight attendants. Comfort plus seats were very comfortable and had lots of leg room. 10A and 10 B.
Flew first class so everything was great. But maybe because the flights were red eye, no meals were served, just chips. I flew Alaska Air 1st class at 9PM (2 hour flight) and they served beef short rib sliders!
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.
Awful. Flight was continuously getting delayed and gates kept changing without any reason. Flight was delayed for more then 3 hours
Paid premium for Delta only to be on safe but tired old 767 with ancient cabin in mediocre condition. Poor wifi and horrible inflight entertainment. Hardly a premium experience. Should have flown SW and had fun flight crew and no pretense
Our flight to Zurich was delayed by almost 3 hours, so we missed our next flight. There was no indication it would be delayed this much. We were told the gate had changed and then it apparently took over 2 hours to load the "catering" on the plane. We were not compensated in any way for the trouble.
Great! I love Jet Blue. My favorite airline! Very efficient, clean and timely.
We were told that our flight would be delayed for 90+ minutes because of weather, so we went to get something to eat only to have them randomly start boarding 15 minutes after the announcement, with no warning.
Entertainment... No earphones passed out. Many including me couldn't use the TV. Legroom was good. Crew was indifferent and a bit surly. Free wifi was a nice convenience. Check in desk location was unknown. Gate number on the boarding passes was wrong.
Confusing. Delay updates were out of whack At one point it said my flight was 25 hours. Three gate changes and two delays only to change back to original departure time. Gate announcer and on board flight attendant (Alejandro) making the announcements was impossible to understand due to accent and speed of speech. After beverage service the rear flight attendants sat back there on their phones. No refills no checking in, one sweep through for trash collection. Very impersonal. Bring back Coke products
Business class is great. New airplane, very comfortable, better than some of the major airlines I am used to
Delayed by almost an hour - I also noticed that all JetBlue flights departing from PBI were delayed yet the weather was perfect.
I loved the wifi, much better than Delta. Seats were old. and bathrooms dingy.
There was no wheelchair or wheelchair escort at the gate..unacceptable
Delayed 4 hours because of maintenance issue they knew about all day. Get another plane. Time is precious!
I liked that boarding and take off were timely despite a 15 minute delay due to weather. The pilot communicated with us the entire flight keeping us informed re: turbulance and slight delays on the runway after we landed.
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.
On time take off…US cabins look tired and need of refresh!
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.
Should have video screens Plane audio was poor and without wired connection hard to understand crew. Should serve more than just cups of water and pretzels on six hour flight. Did not see crew rest of flight. Fix charging sockets to retain charging blocks.
Crew was great and did their best to make us comfortable and captain came out at the beginning to announce why the flight was delayed, weather situation up ahead, and kept us updated throughout the flight.
they made me check my carryon. There was space in the overhead bins.
United WiFi is consistently unusable (it can take 10 mins to load a single web page). If you need Wifi to do work, be prepared to lose half a day of productivity.
Awful. I got stuck next to a person carrying a dog and behind someone with a dog. People need to board these dogs downstairs. The cabin is crowded enough with your pets
Packed in like sardines, very uncomfortable. Sitting the aisle my shoulder was rammed into numerous times by rushing flight attendants. Also flight was very cold.
The plane was delayed 2 hours. The wifi did not work. The seat in first class was not comfortable because the bottom felt like it lost all of its padding. And I did not like when the flight attendant made me wait at my seat to use the bathroom and didn't tell me why. If there were too many people using the 1st Class bathroom, she should have told me to go in the back, coach bathrooms. I guess I have to feel fortunate that they found 2 local pilots to still fly the plane tonight after the original pilots ended up at an airport 60 miles away due to high winds.
