I haven't flown United Airlines much before, but I had a wonderful experience with them…read more For starters, I got a random upgrade from my flight that was KC to Denver. Never happens. Everything was on time and the first flight crew was great. The next flight out, the crew was equally great, the boarding process was fast, and the flight arrived early. Hard to beat that. They also were offering a $1500 travel credit if someone gave up their seat, but on the heels on a fun but mildly exhausting trip, I couldn't rally for it. Just wasn't in the cards this time but I appreciate them not crapping out a low ball offer like I've seen from Southwest where they roll a few points onto your account. $1500 is a real, "we mean business" kind of offer which is a good sign. In an era of consolidated airlines and travel delays, this was a welcome breath of fresh air. I probably need more info to really gauge it, but glad to try them out recently.

I flew one of their small CRJ jets. And while I'm diehard Delta, United's CRJs are a million times nicer and more updated than Deltas. No janky seats that are broken and leaning backward even when not reclined. Nice, new upholstery. Very clean. And a better designed flight attendant galley. They even have an open and free snack shop in first class, with cookies, candy, etc. I didn't check a bag because it was only a 30 hour trip and I packed a backpack. Another nice thing is that unlike Delta's/West Jet's CRJs, you can actually fit your personal item under the seat. Flight attendants were kind and helpful. Pilots kept us informed.

It's a rather plain room, chairs, coffee/tea, and tables. Feels a bit like a break room for staff. The plane was clean, albeit a bit old. Flight crew was great, checking in often, without being a pest. WiFi worked solid the entire flight. The in flight service is an ecological nightmare. Everything has single use plastic. For a yogurt, I got a plastic spoon, knife, and fork. This on top of the plastic cup and two levels of plastic lids. A bottle of water was a tiny plastic bottle, and it soon felt bad to get anything more. My kid needs me to leave a planet to enjoy, not save. The Colorado ground crew was good. One guy was outstanding. I believe his name was Connor. He went out of his way to acknowledge people and help them. I watched how he did this with his colleagues too. If I were hiring, he's the type of employee I would try to steal. When I arrived into Boulder, the ground crew was less than pleasant, minus the previous mention. But when I flew out the entire ground crew was friendly and nice. The lounge isn't. It's just the lobby for everything, not just JAX. The coffee/tea machines were not on and are little more than the smallest Kureg one can buy. Back on the plane, service was top notch. We did leave two hours late. The plane was too heavy, given the luggage situation. (Some folks had a lot, and it looked heavy.). They got everyone's body weight and calculated if we were still too heavy. If we were, they would have to stay on the ground and burn off fuel. Great, more waste. Thankfully, some skinny people saved us and we left, arriving home two+ hours late. So it goes, it was still better than dealing with the crowded airport. The people make this business, so I hope they are taken care of well.

I recently flew Spirit Air and honestly think they deserve higher marks than 1 1/2 stars. True…read morethere is a charge for just about everything on top of the low price fare, but they are very up front about these costs in their website. On any third party booking app it is clear there is a charge for carry on bags. Given that this is unusual, it should prompt the consumer to investigate further and it is not the airlines fault if consumers do not choose to do this. My only complaints were that checked baggage has a 40 pound limit or it is an extra $60. I have traveled all over the world and am familiar with the 50 pound limit put on luggage going overseas. This charge on a domestic flight seems like a money grabbing scheme to me and seems unnecessary given that it is out of line with standard practice. There was no food offered on my 3 1/2 hour flight. I could only get over priced, unhealthy snacks. It seems reasonable to offer some small, healthy fare on most flights and I was disappointed that this was not an option. Also charging for basic beverage service should be outlawed on airlines in my opinion. Dehydration is a serious concern and people should not be denied water based on ability to pay. They are not the most communicative of airlines. They should definitely put some serious money into improving their website, especially for online check in which is needlessly confusing. Now on to the good stuff. For an additional $45 I was able to secure a roomy and comfortable seat close to the front of the plane, almost like flying business class for dirt cheap My flight included a long layover and both planes were clean and new. We were delayed on the tarmac for an hour and a half due to weather. In all my travels this is the only time I have been cool and comfortable during a lengthy tarmac delay. It made all the difference to not feel like you were being cooked alive in a tin can during a lengthy take off wait. The staff were all amazing. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly and professional. They went out of their way to help. They allowed me a free carry on when I opted to bring my checked bag down to 40 pounds to avoid the $60 surcharge. This turned a nasty surprise into a positive experience. Even with the additional seat fare and higher than average checked bag cost, I still paid less than half of what the average going fare was to my destination making this an overall positive experience. Would I recommend Spirit Air? Certainly, with the caveat to travel very light and stock up in food and beverage before boarding.

Denver is probably my least favorite airport, and that's saying something. Though it's smaller than LGA, it's less efficient and broken into east and west terminals. Better hope your cab or Lyft driver drops you off at the right one. My first time here, I was dropped off at the wrong one. Signage is confusing and poorly placed. TSA pre-check lines are long, standard lines are longer. Clear is the way to go here. Baggage drop offs are sprawling and spread across a huge area, rather than being in one convenient spot. It's long and winding to get anywhere. Construction interrupts pathways. Supposedly there is some cool art somewhere, but I never had the chance to see any of it--it's survival of the fittest to get anywhere in this place. The train is atrocious. ATL is the busiest airport in the world. Their train is never this crowded. It was ass to ass, shoulder to shoulder in this thing, every single time. Does have a lot of food options it seems (I went to the sky club, reviewed separately). I flew both Delta and United in and out of this airport. My ratings remain the same for both, except Delta flies out of terminal A so I don't have to get onto the cursed train. While some people are rating this airport positively, I am seeing that most people who travel as often as I do have the same complaints and offer the same lackluster ratings. Would've taken more photos, but I was too busy fighting for my life in the poorly managed foot traffic and confusing pathways.

Had gotten there extra early, even though the TSA website indicated short wait times at DIA. Boarding was easy. Sank into my seat and ordered tonic water to stave off leg cramps. The ONLY annoying aspect of this trip was the constant interruption of announcements, perhaps ten before takeoff. Flight attendant was masked. I read lips. I didn't note my lack of perfect hearing on my account, because I don't like people shouting at me. The mask made things slightly more difficult, but we communicated by her pointing at things and me speaking. It was fine. Lunch--cold salmon salad--was delicious. The wine was a generous pour, and I was able to sleep. Which was the desired outcome. I was exhausted. Entertainment selection, again, was okay. I didn't find any movies that I wanted to see, so watched SVU instead. The flight took off on time, and landed on time, too. All in all, a very enjoyable experience for a once-devoted Southwest flier. This beat "Choice Extra" hands down, and cost very little more for many more perks. It seems like a no-brainer.

In economy, within Alaska, two bags are free, which are a stellar deal; you're looking at about a minimum of 12 hours of flying. You better get comfortable. I'm from Denver, so flying from DEN to Sitka would be about 25 hrs and 27 mins!! HOLY COW. The other typical airlines charges to destinations: 1st bag $30, 2nd bag $40. Appearing to be stuck on a long flight to Alaska, it would make sense to comp bag prices. Most people choose other airlines to fly domestic, so the fees are understandable for checked bags. COVID INFO WHEN FLYING TO ALASKA March 2021: Negative COVID-19 test required within 72 hours before departure!! Hopefully things will change in the future. Overall, such an awesome airline and I'm absolutely impressed by their commitment to fly!

This weekend my sister and I flew to Denver for a concert. Everything went great, until the flight…read morehome. Our flight was an 8 am departure so we arrived around 6. We boarded as usual, all good. Sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes and were told that there was a mechanical issue and we'd need to deplane, the repair would take 1-2 hours. Most passengers had tight connections so we were told to line up and talk to gate agents about rebooking. Roughly half the passengers got in line. For the next 3 hours we had 2 gate agents to help over a hundred passengers. Their website wouldn't help us, the chat wouldn't help us, the phone wait time was over an hour. Mind you, the gate agents weren't given printer paper to print tickets so they had to literally run to other gates for each new ticket to print them. Their computers would randomly crash and delete all their progress so they were constantly switching from phones, to iPhones, to each others computers. It was a MESS! When it got to be our turn to rebook, we were given a 2:30 connection, great! Another hours of delay after this (yes, we are 4 hours into our 1-2 hour delay) we still hadn't received any follow up information, no updates, no emails. Nothing. We were all stuck at the gate because we didn't know when it would be time to leave. Oh but don't worry, they sent us a 12$ meal voucher, that may or may not work at food establishments around the airport. Yay! At 12:30, when we'd realized we'd be missing our new connection once again we got back in line to rebook once more. 30 minutes later of waiting, the co pilot comes out and announces they have no information, just keep waiting, and leaves. Wow, okay thank you sir! Another 20 minutes, there's finally only 4 people ahead of us to book, yay! The pilot comes out, we're boarding now! Everyone get on. So finally another gate agent appears. Where were you when these guys could've desperately used your help? Some people asked her, she was so aggressively rude and made it OUR fault. She wouldn't help, answer questions or assist any of the gate agents. Most of us had now missed our rebooked connections and had NO way of rebooking. Again, no website help, no chat bot help, no phone help. Now we couldn't talk to the agents either because we had to board right then. When it was our turn to board I asked what we should do ar our next airport so we could get home. "Go on the website on your flight, they will give you WiFi". When we boarded I asked the flight attendant if this would be possible. No, it wasn't possible. Talk to the gate agent after your flight. So currently, we have no way home. Ok. We are all seated now, waiting to fly out. We sit on the tarmac for another 30 minutes before we FINALLY leave. While in air, there's an announcement "for all the delays today all passengers above 21 will receive 1 free cocktail! This is all our company will be providing. We will come by shortly". What a weird thing to say after 6 hours of delays? Instead of making it a nice, hey we're sorry. It's yet another screw you. We land, deplane. Go to the gate agent for help rebooking. She can't help us. She tells us we'd need to fully leave the airport, come back and rebook a new ticket. Uh, what? Ok, since we had a connection previously, can you tell us where to find our bags? No, that's not her job..... Wow. So we go to baggage claim because, I'm not sure where to start but this seems like a good bet. Our bags never arrive. 30 minutes after waiting I go to Alaska baggage. At this point my sister is ready to burn them down and I'm trying really hard to keep my cool. I tell her with tears brimming that we have no way home, no bags, and we just need someone to please help us and tell us how we can get home. She is the one and ONLY employee who actually sees us and takes it upon herself to help. How odd a bag agent can rebook our flight in 3 minutes but we're not 9 hours into our day and no one else could? She was so nice, helpful, understanding. She put in a request for our bags, but couldn't tell us if they'd even made it to the city (they had unloaded all baggage when the repairs were happening because a lot of people just booked new flights). She said to wait 30 minutes for them to find our bags but we couldn't leave the carousel because they'd be coming from there. Also, we had just over 1 hour to get back through tsa before we missed our new flight. While waiting, we pull up our new itinerary and we get an error code. We had no flight home still. The link didn't work. The confirmation code only showed our previous flight that day. An hour goes back, she'd gone on lunch, still no bag. We go back up. The new lady once again, didn't want to help us. She told us to just go sit back down and wait. I'm sorry, are you kidding? Thankfully, our original lady had just come back right then from lunch by some damn miracle. She helped us again, got our tickets. Still didn't know where our bags were but assured us she'd get them home with us

Our first experience with BA wasn't great. For one thing, the legroom and space of their economy…read moreseat on an international flight was surprisingly small! It's about 1/3 smaller than the US economy seat. If you are claustrophobic, don't do the basic economy! The flight attendant in our section was useless. He just stood there and watch while we were struggling with placing our luggage in the very high overhead bin. Someone passed out on the floor during our 9 hours flight and it took a while for the flight attendant to get back to his area of responsibility and he didn't seem to know what to do. This maybe the last time flying on BA for us.

I travel quite a bit and recently had a trip to London for work. My return flight was booked on…read moreAmerican but somehow was serviced by British Airways. I arrived at Heathrow hours early as I shared a cab with a coworker and his flight was much earlier. I could not check in on the app or on the website in the day prior, so I stood in line for close to an hour at the American window where they told me I was actually flying BA (my travel record showed American) and I needed to go to another terminal. I got to that terminal and tried to get in line to check in but BA employee said I needed to use the kiosk. I explained I was unable to check in on apps or online and needed an agent. They insisted I try the kiosk first. Unsurprisingly.. it didn't work. I was allowed to get in the check in line with an agent where I stood for the next almost 2 hours. Yes, 2 hours standing on a concrete floor. My back was screaming (old people problems, I know). I finally got up to an agent who said I wasn't able to check in because I needed to show my visa. I pulled up my British electronic visa and she said "no love, your American visa".. while holding my American passport in her hand. I explained I don't need a visa because I am an American returning to my home country. She looked confused but decided she needed to call someone to help. I stood while she was on hold and transferred around to different places who eventually told her it was an issue in the system today and they would remove the error. She then told me I had no seat on the flight because it was oversold and they couldn't guarantee I would get on, so they may have to book my on the next flight which was the next day or would need to look at another airline for me. She gave me a boarding pass that was or standby and said to hurry to the gate to try and get a seat. I got in the security line and about 15 minutes later, I was up.. I scanned my boarding pass and it errored out, not letting me through. An employee told me I had to get in a different line to see what was wrong with my boarding pass. I stood in anther line for a good 40 minutes. Once I got help, they told me I couldn't get through because I don't have a seat and would have to fly standby. I explained, yes.. that's why I have a standby boarding pass. It says standby on it. She said it wasn't standby in the system and it needed to be fixed, so she had to call someone to assist. Another 15 minutes later and they couldn't get it to work and I was going to miss the flight, she said she would take me through a different security line so I could get to the gate. She did that and I had to take a train to get to the gate, which wasn't working for about 5 minutes because it was having a "security sweep" with officers and dogs going through it. I finally got on the train, got off at the right place, ran all the way to the gate as they were boarding. Asked if they had a seat for me, and they huffily said they did but I almost didn't because I waited so long to get to the gate. Are you kidding me? I got on the plane and will be happy to never fly British Airlines again. I guess all the great luck I've had traveling was made up for on this trip. Just terrible.
