KimberlyFlew with Delta-Oct 2026
Make sure you have over an hour at least to make flight. I had terrible problems trying to get my precheck TSA on my tickets and ended up waiting over thirty minutes going thru regular TSA line, while my husband walked right through. Two different Delta employees tried to help, and they still couldn’t fix it. I was very disappointed.
ManishFlew with Air New Zealand-Apr 2026
Long haul so make sure to get up and move around a bit.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Apr 2026
Bring your own snack/drinks and a book.
Verified travelerFlew with Copa Airlines-May 2025
Get to the airport 3 hours early, even with the help of the kiosk, you may still need verification from an agent at check in and by a certain time they leave the check in desk, and you may have to rebook. even if you get there early and the flight delays for 2 hours and altogether you have been waiting for 5+ hours. If you want to make your flight, you have to get there early and wait
Verified travelerFlew with Frontier-May 2025
If you are in the first group to board, stay standing early next to the gate entrance so you really enter first. Otherwise you end up entering all groups at the same time and will loose your carry on space over your seat.
HartajFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2024
RDU long-term parking can add 30-70 mins to your departure time. At terminal 2 in RDU, getting a taxi can take 2-5 mins, vs. waiting 10-30 mins for a car app pickup. :)
ROGERFlew with American Airlines-Sept 2024
Walk with something to eat, because everything on the airport is expensive.
MohanFlew with Frontier-Oct 2024
Check-in online and ensure your personal item is not big, these guys are a pain to deal with
KyriakoulaFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
Keep enough time to make it to your next flight. I had to take a bus, walk across the airport twice and take a train to get to the other terminal
StacyFlew with Sun Country Air-Jul 2024
I would get trip insurance and probably used Delta. There are more expensive, but have more flights to reschedule you on.
NickFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2024
Bring a bottle of water on board with you. It took three hours for us to be served.
AlexanderFlew with Delta-Apr 2024
Get to the airport early, the lines to go thru security are enormous. The line does move pretty quickly though.
VictorFlew with Southwest-Jan 2024
Be sure to get your boarding passes 24 hour before you leave.

On time departure and arrival. Had to be the oldest plane in the SWA fleet but it got me where I needed to be.

On time departure and arrival. Had to be the oldest plane in the SWA fleet but it got me where I needed to be.

Flight was delayed out of BWI unexpectedly / without a reason given but otherwise ok.

I got a bit sick on the flight, and was so grateful when the male flight attendant explained to me they keep the back row open for cases like mine. He took such great care of me! I was incredibly grateful.

Friendly crew. Snacks were carb-heavy. Flight was quite delaye

The service was fine, about the same as you get on most lower end airlines. I dont understand the perks of flying them much anymore for the cost.

I have not flown Southwest in awhile and had a very pleasant experience. From ticketing to boarding to the flight. The flight left on time and landed ahead of schedule. It won't be so long next time!!

It was cancelled at the last minute. Left us scrambling. Totally unacceptable

Seats are tight. You pay extra to get to board early so you can sit with your companion. If not, you possibly will end up sitting in a middle seat if you are boarding group C.

Lost cabin pressure and had go back to the originating airport. We were left sitting on the plane for more than 30 minutes with no directions from Southwest on what was going on, other than the app telling us there would be a flight at 12:30 AM. I finally got off and went directly to a SW desk and rebooked for the next day. I understand that malfunctions happen, but SW was totally unprepared to manage the situation and did not serve the passengers. To make matters worse, they took one hour to find my checked bag.

Appreciate that when flight was delayed, our next connection waited for us.

Will never fly American Airlines business class again. Medicore service and very old aircraft.

Awful. Delayed for unknown reason. Boarded late, part of a Tight connection ands had to go through customs and immigration. And they lost my bags.

The seats are very uncomfortable. They never have tomato juice. Usually late

Finnair was not able to get our luggage on a connecting flight and there was a substantial delay of two days to obtain our lugguage. They did not communicate well, and we had to travel a significant distance to finally get our luggage. It has been a very negative experience.

Comfort. Not good very little space after the person in front of you lay back.

Business seating is soooo uncomfortable. You can sit straight up or lay down. You need pillows behind you because the back doesn’t lay down. Those are need to “prop” you up. The chair has no padding whatsoever. Food was gross. I’ve eaten on Finnair before and the food was exceptional. This time it gave 2 people in our party diarrhea. It was the chicken dish. I took 2 bites and didn’t eat anything more. The flight attendants were nice. You needed an additional lounge in Terminal D at DFW Airport. After waiting 40 minutes to enter, we finally gave up and went to a bar across from the club doors. I’m unsure if I’ll ever book a Finnair flight again.

It was a good flight, very comfortable seats for sleeping in business class. Probably the most comfortable business class seat I've ever had (20+ times in business class on various airlines). Service was good, but the only downside is my screen didn't work and it had to be reset multiple times to get it to shut off. I had to block my eyes because the screen was white almost the entire flight and I wore an eye mask when I slept. But when eating and reading in my seat, my eyes hurt because the only way to turn the screen off was reset it and the screen would only be off for a few minutes at a time.

Very rude hostess. She embarrassed me in front of others. I went to sit after taking off in a different sit in the same economic cabin. Was the area where doors are. She come to me very laud and said: go back to your sit those sit are more expensive.wow! No diplomacy. Flight was super full except 3 of those sit. The only person in that row later during the flight occupied all sit laying down!. Once more disappointed at American Airlines. Early flight they lost my luggages for 4 days. Never refund money for replacement for some of essential items purchased..when I booked the flight I thought was Finlandair. I

Excellent service and always our preferred choice of airline. Was surprised we had to pay for soft drinks though. Other wise great airline and customer service!

The staff were helpful and polite, seat was comfortable, plan was clean.

Too little snack and drink for almost 6:00 hr flight. Should have serve some food.

As per usual for my flights with American Airlines, One flight was very delayed and caused me to miss my connection and they moved my flight to another day. I called customer support and was moved back to my original day but different flights. My layover flight was delayed by an additional 30 minutes while the flight crew confirmed that the plane was airworthy. Ultimately, it is less hassle to drive 10 hours than to fly 6 hours with American Airlines. I recommend my friends and family to hitch hike over taking this terrible transit.

It’s love good long way travel!! I always want more give me price down i want ever month travel I miss travel only North Carolina to Thailand in my love her !!

I found the seats ergonomically uncomfortable forcing the body to seat slightly hunched. For a short flight I worked on adjustments but for a longer flight, it would be difficult.

For some unknown reason, my checked bag didn't arrive at the same time. I got to my destination about 30 minutes late (5pm) and my bag was delivered to my hotel at 2:06am.... in the past 4 flights with AA, they been delayed and I've missed connections and my bags. Poor service.

Check in for 5am flight at RDU was hampered by American check in counters being seriously understaffed , was told even supervisor called out. Took so long in line for special services check in that we missed our 5am departure even after arriving at 3:30am. Had to be rescheduled to later flight from Charlotte to St Thomas.

Awfully rude American worker at door when we started boarding flight. Then, walk into a blazing hot airplane with no air conditioning until twenty minutes into the flight. Free entertainment was non existent! My husband, along with the fellow passenger in our row, and I could not get entertainment to work, no WIFI! Really?? Been flying American a long time. Was very disappointed.

Flight delayed and missed connection. Rescheduled flight cancelled after 6 hrs wait. Rerouted thru ORD, flight cancelled, overnight stay in ORD. Still in the air on new flight!

Very below average , plane from Dallas to Toyko was very poor designed plane. I had to sit for 13 hours next to fat man. Really bad seat and entertainment screen sucked

This flight never occurred because AA couldn’t get their act together.

Only coffee, tea, and water were complimentary. Seat did not recline.

EVERYTHING was charged for. Continuous Iceland advertising; it was off putting.

Overall professional and reliable; only complaint was the lack of complimentary food or beverages on the flight. I’m not accepting an upcharge on things one can reasonably expect.

Movies were old and third rate. Very poor on a seven hour flight. Food was OK but not business class caliber

Although the flight from JFK to Keflavik is not inexpensive, Iceland Air offers nothing but water, no soft drinks, to passengers without a charge. The seats are uncomfortable, there is no leg room, and there was no available internet to purchase.

Was hard to sleep, but other then that everything was good.

We got to the runway and had to go back to terminal to have plane worked on, which is fine, but the 40 minute connecting flight was already gone because of this delay and had to wait 5 hours to get on a different flight and only got a meal voucher which I didn’t see the email until after I had already ordered and paid for food. I feel I should be compensated.

Hard to figure out how to put back the seat, how to get the entertainment, how to upload passport docs. Also, a warning in the airport that food was all for purchase would have been helpful.

I DO NOT recommend Iceland air...missed connecting flight.....paid for isle seat upgrade for health reasons...had to do that over....baggage left in the rain so clothes got soaked other items ruined....called customer * dont care* service

I will never fly this airline again. Checking in was poor , we had to go back to the check in counter at Raleigh - Durham international airport three times because they didn’t issue my boarding pass but rather duplicated my husband’s twice which caused a big headache at the passport control at the airport which triggered security alert and wouldn’t let us pass through we we had to wait for long time to be able to explain and clear everything after talking to the supervisor.. No food on the plane , not even crackers. No food was offered to buy ether . No ear phone was provided . Very little time to make from one plane to another and nobody to assist with smooth transition. Flight itself , we felt safe so thank you to the pilots . But customer service was terrible . We spent $ 2500 on 2 tickets, so I cannot say that service was consistent with the price .

My luggage was lost at the airport but American Airlines contacted me and got it to me the next day.

All the above categories was great. Seats entirely too cramped.

I like American Airlines and their safety record. They provide quality service and a feel safe enough to prefer American Airlines over other carriers even if I have to pay a little more.

The crew is very friendly and helpful. The food is good for airplane food. The flight is long and hard to sleep. The leg space is great. The plane arrived in plenty of time.

Boarding crew is unfriendly as i was asked to handover carryon luggage too upto final destination Bangalore I was not prepared for that and i had to travel without my diabetic and hypertension medicines

They could do everything better!! From the rickety plane, to the flight attendants… when American Airlines is operated by British Airways, their standards are lowered! It’s like Macy’s, operated by Walmart!

Flight staff was amazing! They deserve a raise. Middle seat was very uncomfortable

I liked the hospitality, I didn’t like that I had only two wine bottles though I requested for more

Been on BA a number of times over the years. Usually great. This trip was going well until they dinged us £5.80 for a cup of tea and a cup of coffee. Buyer beware!

First leg of the itinerary from RDU to JFK was brought forward and was not communicated on time. Flight was missed and we had to pay extra to get to JFK. At JFK the British Airways kiosk initially refused to let us get on the remainder of the flight to LHR and ABV and Kayak couldn’tbe reached by phone. Poor poor service. Bad communication.
