Cons: "ORD and the roads approaching nothing short of a nightmare. Chicago should be embarrassed by the whole experience at ORD."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Having to check our carry ons. We noticed another passenger had placed two carry ons in the overhead. If others are doing that, it forces others to check their carryons."
Cons: "Three of my five most recent flights with American have been delayed. Champs."
Pros: "Fine for a domestic flight. Normally, American Airlines offer a small snack to go with the drinks. But on this particular flight, they went the United way and offered nothing but drinks. Crew was pleasant enough during the flight, although they didn't greet half of the passengers entering or exiting the plane."
Cons: "Flight was a little late taking off and therefore getting to Denver. But there was no announcement about it. There was one announcement from the captain, but it was so soft that I couldn't hear anything. Upon landing and arriving at the gate, we stood there for a while with no lights on and seatbelt sign on, but no explanation of what was going on. There was no welcome to Denver message either. Maybe their announcement system was down."
Pros: "Great crew and entertainment. Fairly comfortable seats."
Cons: "Bit tight betweeen seats. Fortunately had three seats for two of us. Slight mechanical issue caused small delay that pilot tried to make up. Better food and amenities on Delta."

Pros: "Great service in first class"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "I was able to choose a seat in Cabin with more leg room and complimentary alcoholic beverage."
Cons: "It was late going to Chicago and late returning to NYC. There were no crackers. I don't like pretzels. The ONLY reason I flew American is because my company paid for it. I absolutely hate LaGuardia. It has a bad spirit."

Pros: "Was on time."
Cons: "Not eventful."
Pros: "The crew was amazing - agreeing to work extra because it was Christmas eve and they wanted us all to get to our destinations for Christmas. They were very gracious and helpful."
Cons: "We were over an hour late to leave. I understand the reason for the delay because of weather. What I was disappointed in is that the delay was not announced until our actual scheduled time to leave. It meant people coming to pick me up didn't get the change information in a timely manner."

Cons: "Employee got us in the wrong terminal"
Pros: "Easy, smooth."

Pros: "it was fine. flight left on time and the crew was nice."
Cons: "that you have to pay $100+ for economy plus to get the legroom you used to get for a regular ticket."
Pros: "Friendly crew. Due to the apparent regularity of excessively delayed American Airlines flights, they had the staff at O'hare bring a cart filled with cheap canned juice and Diet Soda to lessen the blow of their consistently delayed flights."
Cons: "Like every other American Airlines flight I've ever been on, it was delayed. Including the American flight from Denver to Chicago. We pay entirely too much money to these airlines for them to deliver such painfully mediocre service and consistently delayed flights. I recommend that this airline do a SERIOUS audit of their Preventative Maintenance/Service division across their hubs. If I fly American, I would bet my entire checking account that the plane will be delayed well over 2 hours."
Pros: "Ease of boarding and on time flights"
Cons: "Leg room"
Cons: "Missed that flight because my finair was delayed at Helsinki"

Pros: "Nothing. AA is the worst airline. Period."
Cons: "Rude flight attendants, delayed flight (as always), just AWFUL."
Pros: "Flight not entirely sold out. So they let my 14 month grandson have an empty seat between my daughter and I. That was a great gift since he doesn't sleep and is jumping and crawling all over the place. And I'm sure the other passengers were breathing sighs of relief!! Also super smooth landing and nice flight attendants."
Cons: "Flying with an active 14 month old toddler boy and of his "stuff" is nothing less than anxiety provoking. Not much the airline can do.."

Cons: "Didn't hapen"
Pros: "Stuck in Chicago. Never made it to Denver because of weather. Had to get hotel."
Cons: "Better accommodations by United."
Cons: "It sucked in many ways. But that wasn't united's fault. The weather was threatening lightning in Denver and of course because of that the world stops turning."
Pros: "Delayed. Bagage mis-rerouted."
Cons: "Be honest when bags are not routed correctly after assuring passenger twice that bags will be at the same airport they were re-routed too. Do not ask passengers for a bag delivery fee when the mistake was United's. Keep passengers informed of delayed flight and keep inconvenience to a minimum."
Cons: "It’s just crowded. The crew was great. Safe landing"
Pros: "Crew was nice and very efficient"
Cons: "Maintenance didn't have plane ready to depart on time"
Cons: "First flight of the day and there aren't enough floor assistants to address the sea of blinking red check-in kiosks. One poor soul is running around frantically trying to address all the check-in issues Pre-TSA doesn't start before our 5:15AM flight so after walking all the way down to the Pre-TSA checkpoint, we encountered a sign redirecting us back the normal tsa checkpoint which was overflowing with late check-in customers upset with the long kiosk check in delays"
Pros: "The crew was very nice. The flight was smooth and enjoyable. I was able to charge my phone and had WiFi access."
Cons: "There was no entertainment except on my phone. The food was a small bag of pretzels."
Pros: "Everyone was really nice, and there was a decent amount of leg room etc."
Cons: "I honestly can't say that I have any complaints about it. Thank you. :)"
Cons: "Placed in middle seat with no options for isle or window due to my ticket. No problem with that if the people next to me were not so big. Young woman to my left by window was tall and broad and slept but took up all elbow and shoulder space. Guy to my right was very obese, sweaty so kept wiping his neck, head, and face with a cloth. Also had terrible body odor. I spent the entire flight in a narrow middle seat, hunching my shoulders due to lack of space. Both people taking up some of what little room I had."
Pros: "Great staff, pleasant flight, nice options on the screen to choose from, etc."
Cons: "We were delayed in Chicago due to weather coming home from Europe. We were not allowed to use the business class lounge even though we paid for business class tix. My family is still sitting in the airport waiting on their flight to dallas. We have been up now for over 24 hours. We should be allowed to be someplace comfortable for the price of the business class tickets. poor form on Lufthansa’s part."
Cons: "Delays"
Pros: "Fast boarding and friendly staff."
Pros: "We had no difficulties and the crew was friendly and helpful."
Pros: "I will try to avoid Ohare in the future. Long wait to take off. Had to RUN to make the connection. Again."

Pros: "It was on time."
Pros: "Newer planes and pretty comfortable considering tight quarters"
Cons: "Disappointed that my seat assignments were dropped so had to go to gate to get middle seats."
Pros: "Crew was nice and professional. Bags arrived in tact in the right place and so did I."
Cons: "The corner cutting is starting to cross a line. I had so little room that my knees touched the seat in front of me and I couldn't grab my bag below the next seat without disturbing the people next to me. I didn't pay to request a certain seat, so I was in the middle seat of the last isle for each flight. The "free" entertainment was ads to purchase entertainment. Obviously they now make you pay a about 20% of your ticket cost to bring a rollaway now."
Cons: "I want to clarify that I boough tiquests with Lufthansa not with United... and I had to travel United most of the time to Africa and Bach to the USA... united socks terrible ... bad food and old plain to cross the Atlantic... besides the service and the bad actitude of the employees... when I travel international I want only Lufthansa. So, kayak you tricked me ....horribly!"
Cons: "internet & movies intermittently worked"
Pros: "Everyone was very respectful"
Cons: "Sight delay and having to pay for internet"
Cons: "The boarding process is horrible. You have to stand in lines that disrupt the other people trying to navigate through the airport."
Pros: "The boarding and check-in process was quick and seamless. The crew was attentive, friendly, and informative. Ohare airport has Garters popcorn!!!!"
Cons: "Seating was a little cramped, even for a small guy like me, and the only way to watch anything on the small screens provided on seats in front of you, is to pay. Honestly, I know that everything is about the bottom line, but you can at least provide 1 free movie or Channel and charge for optional premium material."
Pros: "The crew was polite and offered an extra six ounces of water in addition to the usual beverage service. The flight departed and arrived on time, which is a rarity when dealing with ORD."
Cons: "The cabin was near 80 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes of boarding. During the boarding process and taxiing, the DirecTV add ran theee times. The commercial was annoying and loud. Once would be enough."
Pros: "Was able to fly standby and get home earlier. Crew was nice and friendly."
Cons: "Slept most of the way, but this plane didn't have television screens, so limited entertainment options."
Pros: "Very windy decent into denver but pilots and crew were great."
Cons: "How they canceled one of my flights just as I landed at my layover for that flight when I look back at Boston they had a direct flight ready for my destination. Very poor management I was stuck in Chicago with no money or food for hours then after they start boarding for my new flight they tell me that I may not be able to get on even with ticket in hand. It was a joke and very stressful"
Pros: "The fact that priceline said there was nothing they could do."
Cons: "The fact that my pregnant wife and i were stranded in la guardia airlort and had to shovel out 800 dollars for last minute one way flights."
Pros: "Friendly crew."
Cons: "Passengers are stowing personal items/multiple bags in the overhead bins. This is an ongoing problem that needs attention. Armrest protocol should be made explicit. My in-flight entertainment control was covered by the passenger next to me the entire flight."
Pros: "United payed for the room and 20 bucks for food."
Cons: "Late. Missed the connection to Gillette and had to stay overnight."
Pros: "It was Great Thank you"

Pros: "New, clean United planes! Happy crew! Snacks!"
Cons: "My boarding pass was not scanning which was holding up the line. A second person came over to approve me getting on the plane. That person made me check the size of my carry on bag, which had gotten bigger from some things I purchased in the airport but was just a touch too large for their sizer. She attempted to check the bag meaning I wouldn't have it until my final destination, which I was NOT ok with for two reasons. One was i had a 3 hour layover after this flight and needed work materials inside. The second was i was on a time crunch to get my ride at my final destination and was only traveling with carry on. She was very rude and insitant on it fitting inside the sizer as she stood over me with the tag to check my bag. I managed to take some things out that I moved into my backpack, which meant I had to awkwardly carry my blanket and travel pillow onto the plane. The most frustrating part was when I got on the plane, it was oversized top carryon bins, so the extra inch my bag grew would have been fine. Because of the time it took me to rearrange, i was the last one on the plane and all the bins had been filled with tiny second bags, but a few people on the plane had seen what happened and they rearranged a space for me. Also my video screen was broken and everyone else's worked. And there were two screaming babies around me the whole flight, but that is no one's fault."
Pros: "Customer service"
Cons: "Delays. More than an hour and missing our connection in Denver which made us miss our car reservation and had to pay double for another car at the last moment"
Pros: "I liked arriving home in a timely fashion."
Cons: "The first gate agent responding flatly, "I have NO idea." to a gate change question. OR the Mother Superior flight attendants that couldn't wait to point and nag about seat backs and tray tables. I wonder if either of the women noticed they were talking to someone who wasnt't an English speaker? United needs to fly Southwest to learn the right way to do things."
Pros: "Crew was great and the boarding staff was very friendly."
Cons: "Flight was delayed"
Pros: "The flight attendants were all super kind."
Pros: "The flight is comfortable and the no hidden fees."
Pros: "The flight attendant finally took care of it after I complained a couple of times."
Cons: "That you changed our seats, and, that there was no room in any of the overhead bins. So, the flight attendant told me that I needed to fight my way through the people coming toward me back up the aisle and check every overhead bin all the way back up to see if there was room for my one suitcase. Others had brought more than one bag up there. Finally they checked my one carry on bag. The ride was also really bumpy, worst that we've ever experienced. But that was due to weather conditions."
Cons: "..there was a very drunk passenger on the flight. He spilled wine all over another customer. The flight crew kept serving him more alcohol even though he could barely stand with out falling down. Unfortunately, he would shut up the whole trip, speaking in a very loud voice to his seat mate who was clearly not interested in the conversation."
Pros: "1st time I ever watched the safety/instructional video. Great job because it is important stuff and I saw others paying attention as well!"

Cons: "It's been 45+ minutes after landing that we have been stuck on the runway unable to dock the plane due to some delays. How Terrible is it that the pilot gets on the radio to say he has no updates or much information to give! People are antsy, children crying and this delays all passengers with other accommodations.

The person in front of me reclined his seat and I (a short woman) was crushed AND could feel his hair if I used my tray table. TOO CLOSE."
Cons: "Bags can't weigh over 40 lbs. Everywhere else is 50 lbs. $100 for carrying on a bag at the gate is outlandish. Very rude staff"
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "Everything with spirit is terrible. The trick prices (you think it's cheap??? Not if you want a seat, a bag, a drink, to breathe!!), the terrifying folding chair seats, the horrible leg room, the worst service. Now I remember why I NEVER should EVER fly spirit."
Pros: "Plane's leather seats were comfortable and not as squashed as I thought they'd be. After I deplaned, I was lugging a heavy bag. One of the staffers insisted on carrying it to the gate entrance, then called over a wheelchair that was free, saying "That bag's way too heavy for you to carry that far." (to baggage claim) I was a little embarrassed -- but SOOO grateful! Thoughtful people like this make me want to keep using Spirit."
Pros: "the price"
Cons: "too cramped/ Plane felt rickety, even when there was clear skies. Seats were uncomfortable with no head support. No tv. When the trays behind were down could feel it in my back"
Pros: "It was an airplane that was able to fly to my destination....."
Cons: "Service, baggage fees, leg room....overall, it's simply not worth "saving money" with these inferior airlines, after baggage fees you would be paying the same for a higher quality carrier"
Pros: "I got a mini deep dish pizza in the Chicago airport. It was real tasty!!"
Cons: "Uncomfortable seats"
Pros: "Planes were new and clean."
Cons: "Airport was disorganized. Check in was long and a mess at 8:30 in the evening. Long lines. Staff not helpful. No checkin kiosk to get bag tag. Probably will not fly Spirit again."
Cons: "Hidden fees for bags and seat assignments."
Cons: "It was cancelled without warning or explination."
Pros: "the price"
Cons: "And what you pay for is rude service, delays and uncomfortable seats"
Pros: "Friendly on plane"
Cons: "Crowded gate"
Cons: "Attendants were not pleasant, seats not comfortable, no options for good food, no movies"
Pros: "Clean plane"
Cons: "You charged an extra $30 for luggage. I couldn't feed my kids lunch!!!! Terrible customer service from Dania and a lady named Nueua(?) in Chicago at the Spirit airlines check in desk. Unacceptable lack of compassion."
Pros: "I liked that I eventually made it back to Denver"
Cons: "The fact that the delay was all based on Spirit not being able to properly maintain their aircrafts and gates. The hour and a half delay that ultimately made me late to work the next day was not even due to weather issues. I blame spirit for the inconvenience and this will certainly effect my future decisions to fly with spirit."
Pros: "The initial price seemed fair."
Cons: "The airline lets you bring a purse for free. If you don't realize this policy when you book: there is an additional fee for a carry-on. Unless you book through Spirit, this policy is not well communicated. Beverages-- including water are associated with fees."
Pros: "Spirit is the cheapest"
Cons: "Spirit is the cheap, by a couple bucks. I'd gladly have paid the few dollar more for a comfortable plane."
Cons: "Spirit airlines employees are not friendly and difficult to deal with. Were not accommodating"
Pros: "Price"
Cons: "Managed to catch a virus so couldn't travel (doctor's orders). Partial credit was given when I'd much rather just have a refund."
Cons: "Delayed for no reason"
Pros: "The ticket price"
Cons: "That the seats couldn't go back but I understand tht part of keeping the prices low"
Cons: "The additional charges. Plus all of the talking, and people getting up out of their seats."
Cons: "Have no idea why there were more flights between Chicago and Denver on Spirit, but the most likely cause is neo-liberalism and the decay of public infrastructure under several negligent mayoral regimes in Chicago. I wish more than anything that Spirit did not fly out of Chicago, at all, and instead Virgin or JetBlue (or both) had more departures. Whenever I'm stuck on Spirit I'm sure to complain to anyone who will listen."
Pros: "Everything went smooth. Cheap."
Cons: "The seats are small and cramped. They charge for all baggage except for a single personal item of something like 12"x14"16"."
Pros: "Staff is good. Suggestion is to check on needs for bottled water. Aisles are pretty tight so having the signage on when lavatories available is good."
