--Everything was on time, easy boarding, easy exit, no frills and no fuss!--…read more This is my third flight on Spirit. I previously flew Southwest, but their prices have been getting more ridiculous so I finally tried out Spirit, in 2025. I am now a fan! I have flown one other budget airline (in Europe) before, which left a super bad taste in my mouth, so I was hesitant to fly another budget airline. Flying from socal to norcal (flight time: 1 hour 6 minutes) for $30, I wasn't really expecting much, just that it got me there on time in one piece. I expected them to nickle and dime me and measure my luggage, but none of that happened! The personal item size allowance in America (18x14x8) is way more generous than in Europe. My giant tote bag easily fit in the designated box. I didn't see them try to give anyone a hard time about luggage size at all. What surprised me the most was the flight itself. Planing and deplaning was easier because most people didn't have carry-ons. There were also no snacks (unless you bought some from them), so there was hardly any trash and the seats were way cleaner. Sure the seats don't recline and aren't as cushiony, but it's totally negligible for my short flights. I'm short so the legroom was plenty for me. Not really sure how they make profit charging $30 a flight (during off peak hours), with $20 of it going to airport/government fees, but nonetheless I enjoyed 3/3 of my flights with Spirit!

I had a partial pleasant flight experience with American Airlines, but in the beginning of the…read morepre-departure, I had some ticket issues that I had to let go for my peace of mind . The flight was booked, and unfortunately my daughter could not make the trip due to work reasons. So, I had to cancel which was done early on, abiding by American Airlines cancellation policy, but they issued a flight credit instead of a refund . I was on the phone with them going back and forth trying to make them be accountable for their own legal travel guidelines, and I was on the phone with various representatives who loved to tell me they can help and issue the refund, but they never did refund me! I could have complained to my bank, but they took out all the mental energy in my system that I just let it go! I was on the phone with them trying to get the refund about four different occasions (each representative) assuring me they could help, and some could not, that I gave up the fight to preserve my mental health. Why did they not follow their own travel (legal) guidelines)? They can get in trouble if they continue to not abide by their own legal travel guidelines. I was already taking time to prepare for this important trip and did not need added anxiety and stress on my plate. How many times does a customer need to be on the phone to get successful and satisfactory results? It should take one phone call to do that. Due to this inability to refund my money, and not abiding by their legal guidelines, even having their own customer service representatives on the phone telling you don't worry we will get you a refund, and it never happened. That is a real problem! The flight itself was smooth with no complications, but it needed to be effortless with my entire experience! In the future, I might fly Delta. Hopefully, American Airlines will take steps to improve in the areas that need attention to regain the trust of their travelers.

Never doing any business with American Airlines again!…read more I purchased tickets to Japan from AA, with the flight operated by Japan Airlines AA's email states: "If your flight is operated by a partner airline, see the other airline's website for carry-on and checked bag policies." Japan airline states "2 free checked bags" But they charged me extra fees for every checked bag I had, stating it was AA's decision. Both airlines had no idea what the policy was and they had to call each other to figure it out for 30 minutes. If I don't sign for the extra charges, my luggage doesn't go on the flight. The service being sold had very unclear terms and they have denied the dispute, stating I knew what I signed up for initially, and that I had signed for the charges at the airport. Total Catch-22 THIS COMPANY IS A TOTAL SCAM 0/5 stars. Fool me once shame on me. But I won't let them fool me or anyone else twice. (Prior to purchasing, I even looked up what other customers had to say about baggage policies on codeshare flights, and they all say it follows the operating airline. Which AA is denying)

We flew Alaska Airlines from San Diego to Fresno, super easy!…read more It was just and up and down flight but it was super smooth and the flight attendants were very friendly. Would I fly Alaska Airlines again, absolutely!

Overall a positive experience with Alaska Airlines from San Diego to Boston: the new airplane with…read moremore comfortable seats, a better place to prop your screen, more seat-back plug in options to charge your phone or computer, yummier snacks to purchase on board (the Mediterranean tapas box was pretty good for $10-pita chips, hummus, olives, dried mango, piece of chocolate). The staff on board the plane were friendly and helpful. However, my one major critique was that they only had one staff for general curbside check-in and luggage drop off. Despite using the kiosk to print out our tags ourselves, we still had to wait in a long line to have them weigh our luggage and check our IDs, easily remedied by having at least one more staff. The first class staff did call us over once she was through with her line but I really thought a second economy staff was needed, especially since half the passengers were waiting to check in until they reached the front of the line, old school style, so that the guy had to print out their tags for them and their boarding passes... Thank goodness for TSA precheck which made the security portion of the morning go super fast. In any case my overall impression of Alaska Airlines was improved by the efficiency and comfort of the flight itself.

Southwest used to be my favorite airline, but after this trip, I have completely lost my trust in…read morethe airline. My wife and I flew Southwest Flight 1794 from San Jose (SJC) to San Diego (SAN) on September 11, 2026. I was traveling to San Diego because my brother was critically ill and dying. I was desperately trying to get to the hospital to see him alive one last time. Our flight was delayed four or five times. We were repeatedly told the delays were because of air traffic. By the time I finally arrived in San Diego, my brother had already passed away. I want to be very clear: I am NOT blaming Southwest for my brother's death. His condition was already critical, and his death was beyond anyone's control. I am blaming Southwest for the repeated delays that caused me to arrive too late to see him alive and say goodbye. Southwest didn't take my brother's life. But the delays took away something I can never get back--the chance to see my brother one last time. And unfortunately, the problems continued on my way home. On September 13, I spent almost five hours at San Diego Airport dealing with repeated delays on my return flight. I was told the incoming plane was coming from Las Vegas and was delayed, and later that it hadn't even departed Las Vegas. A delayed flight may be just another number to an airline. To a passenger, those hours can mean everything. You can reschedule a trip. You can take another flight. But you cannot reschedule a goodbye. Southwest, you were once my favorite airline. After this experience, I will think twice before ever flying Southwest again, and I can no longer recommend you to my family or friends. You didn't just delay my trip. You took away my last opportunity to say goodbye to my brother.

The gate agent for JetBlue was so unhelpful on our recent trip. Our flight leaving San Diego was…read moredelayed by about an hour, which caused our connection to become extremely tight. My boyfriend walked up and asked if we could be moved closer to the front of the plane given the circumstances and she waved him away without even looking at our itinerary. Told him the gates were close together in Boston. The plane had several open seats closer to the front, so this would not have been a burden on her. The flight attendant on the plane was much more helpful, and the pilot made an announcement that a few folks had extremely tight connections so please remain seated unless you were one of them. Every single person in economy stayed seated, but I guess the announcement didn't reach the privileged, self-centered folks in first, as they ALL stood up and a woman told my boyfriend to move so she could grab her luggage. He said no, and I explained we had an extremely tight connection. A man in an Aloha Brewing shirt barked at me that everyone had tight connections. He started becoming very irritated and the woman in front of him told him that it was too early in the day to fight me. So that was fun. I hope dude felt really good about himself for going off on a girl. Anyway, he said he was going to New York so I checked the flights to New York. His connection was not tight. He was just rude. I recognize this is unrelated commentary but it's helpful context in the grand scheme of my experience. Our connecting plane was nowhere near the gate when we disembarked, so we had to run through the airport to another part of Terminal C in Boston. A JetBlue agent there asked where we were running to and said she'd call the plane to ask them to hold it for us. They did. JetBlue in Boston was stellar. All's well that ends well in the end, and the FA/pilot really did save the day, but I really wish the gate agent in San Diego had cared even an ounce to help us as a touch of customer service would've gone a long way. It could've been a different outcome if economy hadn't acknowledged the pilot's announcement.

Still love JetBlue!…read more The priority boarding extra leg space and TVs make it a great flight. The only issue is with this hub there seems to be more delays than leaving Boston. So far only 25 percent of my flights leave on time. From Boston not as single delay at all. Luckily I never had a flight get cancelled. On my last trip a majority of the TVs were not working. They kept restarting. I also had the worst passengers sitting in front of me. They took up Two rows and they were out of control the entire trip. They could not control their kids. It was horrible and like a scene from Outbreak. They kept coughing all over the place, they would also stand up on the seats and cough in your face. . Wouldn't doubt if it was the flu or something. The kids kept jumping on the seat and screaming and crying. They could not control the kids. The entire family manned 1 bathroom for like 1/2 the trip. At one point the father apologized to me because the kept throwing and losing crayons and the would end up in my row behind them. Why not control your kids instead? The was a nightmare flight. I was going to ask for another seat but didn't want to make a big deal of it. At one point the father kept knocking on the bathroom door when somone else was in there. You took up the bathroom the entire trip, maybe others now need to use it. I could hear other passengers complain about them but not sure if they said anything. This was like Romper Room and Daddy Day Care all mixed in one. I feel bad for anyone else that has to get on a plane with them. Ok my rant is over. Just wish a flight attendant woulda told them to relax. And keep seated. lol. Can't really blame JeTblue for the passengers so I'm giving this trip a 3.75 lol.

We had one stop in Munich before landing in Florence. Arrived in Italy and only 1 bag arrived at baggage claim. 2 of us had no clothing or toiletries for over 36 hours (they were delivered to the hotel the evening of the next day). After traveling for close to 17 hours and no fresh clothes or toiletries was not the start I was hoping for. On the return trip home, again 3 bags were all checked in at the same time at the starting airport. Again, all 3 bags were delayed. 2 were finally returned to my home the following day. 1 bag is still missing 2 days later. NEVER AGAIN will I fly United.

HORRIBLE. This airline is by far the worst I have ever flown with. Their fares are not cheap, and…read morethe baggage fees are outrageous. I was charged $85 for a carry-on and $115 for a medium-sized checked bag that weighed less than 45 lbs. Traveling with my family ended up costing us a significant amount in luggage fees alone. The only reason I booked with this airline was because they offered a direct flight from Aguascalientes to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the convenience was not worth the experience. The customer service was awful. The flight attendants were rude, unprofessional, and appeared poorly trained. As a frequent traveler, I have never experienced such poor service. They even charge for water onboard. To make matters worse, the aircraft smelled like urine throughout the flight. Overall, this was one of the most unpleasant travel experiences I have ever had. I will never fly with this airline again. I would rather take a bus than endure another flight with them.

The difference why I give Hawaiian 5 stars: Beverage service: full size can, plus free pour if of drinking age of Koloa Rum punch( refills have a charge) and they still provide a hot sandwich for breakfast. Today it was turkey, egg and cheese. Flight attendants younger, prettier at least on this flight, friendly. Nicer, respectful announcements for lowering window shades and flight time updates. WiFi: free compliments of T Mobile after watching a video. Hawaiian still has their snack carts in case you want to purchase items. Yes there are noticeable differences. Hubs told me Alaska will be flying from their hub in Seattle to London and Rome next month. That is exciting news. We will remain loyal to both airlines due to the merger and hope the best of each airlines continues more in sync with each other.

We flew Volaris after passing through CBX in San Diego, so we flew them domestically from Tijuana…read moreto Cabo. All in all, using Volaris was an okay experience. They seem very similar to Spirit in the way of cost and pricing set up. Everything is piece rate, so you want better boarding? Buy it. Want to choose your seat ahead of time? Buy it. Want a soda or snack on board? Buy that too. So the cost is no frills, just the flight, everything else is an add-on. It's not wildly expensive, but can add up quickly. The boarding process was beyond chaotic. The groups are massive, and once everyone lines up, the lines stretch well into the terminal depending on where your gate is. A few things I appreciated were the flight attendants keeping the luggage bins closed for the first few rows while boarding happens. They didn't open them until people in those rows began being seated. This and upon landing, they didn't allow the whole plane to stand up at once, they controlled this as well. Nice touches that I wish a few other airlines would adopt. Service was friendly and helpful at the gates and on board. Overall, a solid 3.5 as an airline overall. I wouldn't mind flying Volaris again when back in Mexico.

I'm currently sitting Tijuana waiting to board my flight which is supposed to take off in two minutes, and everything shows on time, although no one has boarded yet. Their website crashed while we were paying for luggage, so we ended up getting charged twice, and they said a refund is not possible, so we'll have to go through our credit card company. As I write this, they now have delayed the departure by 11 minutes, but as not a single person has started boarding yet and the departure time is eight minutes from now, you can draw your own conclusions. We've only taken them for nonstop flights, and that seems to be the safest if you need to use them.
