Southwest is going downhill. I'm more apt to fly other airlines now. And I'd appreciate it if your gate agents didn't invent non-existent laws. If Southwest is having issues getting flight crews, you need to go out of your way to accommodate passengers instead of saying it's weather related and not in your hands. We can all see the other carriers are getting their planes off the ground and to/from the cities/regions you claim are weather-impacted.

Southwest is a discount airline. I get it. You take the (usually) good pricing with the bad (cramped). But Southwest is becoming more and more like the cut-rate airlines *cough* Spirit *cough*. It used to actually be a fun experience. e.g. paying for WiFi is bad enough - having to pay for it on each leg of a flight is ridiculous. Yes, I've seen your numbers that it only "impacts a small percentage", but you and I both know that is misleading at best. While I used to try to fly SW exclusively when flying domestically, now I'll look elsewhere very frequently and price being equal (or close) I'm going to the other carriers.
Not good.,At first delayed due to weather, then still had to load all the luggage, then a mechanical issue. Upon finally arriving, clothes wet as suitcases sat out in the rain. In a hard side suitcase! Ruined some paper items inside. Not happy!
The flight itself was good. Delays were the problem. Original flight was scheduled for 8:10 pm. Got notifications all day -- actual time is 8:40; then 8:25; then 8:35; then 8:45. Then once I get through security, it's actually 9:35.
Crew was great but because of fog they diverted us to Ontario instead of our Santa Barbara destination. Instead of cancelling the flight as soon as we landed in Ontario, they instead held us in Ontario for almost 4 hours before cancelling the flight. I had to rent a car in Ontario to get back to ventura on time to get an elderly relative his medication and take over his caretaking… otherwise if I had taken the buses you offered from Ontario I wouldn’t have even arrived to Santa Barbara till at least midnight (according to southwest airlines employees at Ontario), and then would have had to drive back down to ventura. At least renting the car I could get up to ventura by 10 pm to take care of my loved one.
Boarding was quick. The flight itself was good. However, no charging ports for cell phones. Also, the food provided was just a few snacks. For a 5-hr flight, I would expect at least a sandwich.
Healthier snack would be much appreciated. Love traveling on Southwest!
Left on time and arrived early. Brand new plane and no parts missing. Comfortable seats. The actual Captain spoke prior to the flight and reassured everyone about safety. Crew was so nice and fun. Perfect flight!
Long layover in Chicago. Wish that could have been lessened.
The crew at the gate in Baltimore were rude and intimidating and insensitive to the needs of traveling families. They treated us like nuisance children ruining their day rather than the reasons they were working, paying customers with children who were anxious about the boarding experience. I would only travel Southwest again if it were the only option, especially if traveling with my children.
The gate area was incredibly short staffed, with one representative manning 4-5 flights, which caused a 3 hr delay in boarding even though the plane was all ready to leave. Other flights also were delayed because of this. The flight crew was awesome and I feel bad for the only gate worker on call, but Delta needs to hire more employees.
The flight was excellent, I recommend people to fly with Delta
On my way home I had a layover. The flight from ATL to CLT was amended 5x while I was waiting. I could have driven home sooner. Overall from Dallas, Tx to Charlotte, NC I started my trip at 4:30pm, I didn’t get home until past midnight. I know things happen, but 5x to make me run back and forth in an airport from different terminals is excessive. I also upgraded to comfort + , I didn’t feel it was worth it. There was no benefit

It was a crowded flight. They did the best they could.
Super good crew... food was pretty awful- overall Delta is my favorite carrier- takes off on time, good boarding process etc.
Boarding was a little confusing as many folks were trying to get on through priority boarding instead of general. Everything else was excellent.
When checking our bags at the Virgin Atlantic counter, the employee told us that we should go to Delta because we needed to verify our passports and our names. Fortunately the employee organizing the line stopped us and asked why we didn't hand over our suitcases. He sent us to another line and told the employee that we already have the passports verified in the reservation. She understood and received our suitcases. In London they have a general waiting room, where you stay until the gate number of your flight is announced. KAYAK informed us the gate number hours before the airlines did. Just like the flight to London, the legroom is too small. abusive for a flight of so many hours.
Boarding was great. The flight landed early. It took the crew over an hour and a half to bring out drinks. I paid to upgrade my seat to Comfort+ only to be near a crying/screaming baby who was seldom quiet. Noise-cancelling earbuds didn’t even help. Waste of money to upgrade.
Seats were broken in premium select and so was monitored on my seat and other people around me
Boarded the plain and had to wait 1 hour for crew Captain to arrive from another flight
It was fine since it ensure we went to our destination in time.
The space for legs in coach is better than other Airlines you can even cross your legs!!
They canceled the flight 30 minutes prior to departure without any heads up.
All parts were excellent, especially staff at bag tag printing and inflight crew. Just the normal differences from past air travel could be improved but we’ve learned to accept those—cramped seats, minimal food/beverage, etc.
Attentive crew. Best of all was the empty seat between me and my rowmate.
We had a very scary attempted landing in Palm Springs and were redirected to Ontario. It was a stressful flight.
Every thing means , crew, service, timing, boarding is very good.
I really like Alaska airline, it's my favorite airline❤️
The messaging about the change in flight destination and options for getting to SFO was poor. There should have been frequent updates. When I spoke to the boarding agent moment before we were supposed to board, he was flippant and offered no help before the announcement was made that transportation would be arranged. It was as poor of an experience that I've ever had.
Great. Loved that there was WiFi on flight to keep in touch and excellent service of beverages and snacks.
Business class is great. New airplane, very comfortable, better than some of the major airlines I am used to
great flight. Pilot was communicative, flight attendants were excellent. Really nice experience except my tv didn’t work.
Overall, the flight was better than the flight I took to go to Florida, which had a bunch of problems. The crew is really nice and the plane was new so it had a small problem when we were on the runway, but the flight itself was great. They even made some time back up, which is always a good thing.
Everything was good except for deplaning in NY. Took way too long!!
Jet Blue keeps getting iit wrong. 4 hour mechanical delay followed by terrible boarding experience. This is my third horrific jet blue flight in 2024. I am going to try to avoid this loser in the sky
My experience with JetBlue was fantastic! The service was top-notch, the flight was smooth, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely fly with them again.
I loved the wifi, much better than Delta. Seats were old. and bathrooms dingy.
no wifi and the aircraft was very old with tiny 4” screens.
After we landed, we were held on the plane for 30 minutes. There was no one at the gate once we landed and we forced to sit on a plan that had already over an hour delayed.
Friendly staff at all very easy check in and organize process
Horrible airline, upgraded to sit on seats made of stone. Staff were rude and on top of it they charge an arm and a leg for luggage 🧳 never again
The seats are the worst I upgraded to premium big mistake and it seems like no one likes there job very unpleasant
they don’t have TV Seat to Type in space
