Mediocre is best way to describe. Bare bones narrow seats, Dirty pulldown tray, unfriendly cabin crew who were in a hurry to serve tiny drinks and tiny snacks. (Compared to much better Hawaiian Airlines experience, .. no comparison!)

It was really good and that's why we choose AA over other airlines.
The flight was about an hour late, and there was notable turbulence for a good part of it. But of course, that was not Alaska Air’s fault, and I think the crew did a good job of keeping it safe. Service suffered a little as a result (I wish I had been offered the option of purchasing food). Overall, it was ok, because we landed safe and sound. Thanks!
Sat on tarmac for 30 minutes despite staring at three empty gates, one of which we eventually pulled into
Flight was changed twice. Original flight was scheduled at 5:30pm. Weeks before flight, flight was changed to 7:00pm. On the date of flight, flight was delayed and departed at 9:00pm. This caused many problems and significantly affected our schedule at our destination.
They canceled my flight going back to SF after I was at the airport. Wanted me to take a flight 14 hours later. Not a happy camper.
I didn’t like not knowing my seat till I got to the airport - and my boarding group was F (last).
Clean plane, relatively spacious in Main Cabin. One experience: I'm 79, with torn rotator cuff (R shoulder). I asked for help getting my carryon into the overhead bin and was told that the staff "does not help with this" (or some such phrase. On previous flights, help has been offered (and accepted). I prevailed on a fellow passenger for this. Also, why not board back to front?? Would this not help in the speed of boarding?
No tv, movies for a 6 hour flight! Worst airline I have ever travelled!
Ground crew was great in Austin, flight crew left a lot to be desired. Not particularly friendly, helpful or nice.
Had a broken tray in business class. Crew just shrugged it off.
I didn’t not like that I could not select my seat and ended up with the worse seat.
Great, on time departure, friendly and accommodating crew, great leg room, Smith flight
Really impressive staff at airport and on plane, especially given how busy it was
I guess they don’t serve drinks on planes anymore
It was a very smooth ride. Not sure on a flight departing at midnight can be much better but it was late arriving and I had an early day so really just the logistics.
Really liked the choice of the 4 free snack options. Crew great. Good vibe on plane.
Good breakfast granola bar good crew seamless flight and baggage transfer we’ll done!
Everything was great but the difference in paying for comfort + did not seem worth it.
Very efficient and effective. Fight crew and captain did a good job given the weather delays and turbulence…
Dinner was okay but the breakfast was not eatable on the flight San Francisco to Zurich.
I’ve had a couple flights this week on United that were delayed by an hour or more
Should have video screens Plane audio was poor and without wired connection hard to understand crew. Should serve more than just cups of water and pretzels on six hour flight. Did not see crew rest of flight. Fix charging sockets to retain charging blocks.
Do not like the feeling of being in the basic economy. Everyone should feel good no matter what.
So so. Terrible aircraft choice for that leg of the flight.
delay several times and wait extra long to board. no entertainment service because there are problem for some rows. always encounter some delays for the last flight of the day.
This was a Lufthansa flight. Disappointing main meal. Very rough over Canada and arrival at FRA. IFE was almost unusable.
For a 22 minute flight all you expect is for it to be safe and comfortable
I was not able to buy food in the flight. They refer to include your Credit card in the APP, and if you are not from USA (i have a credit card form Canada) it is not possible
United airline kept delaying our flight back to Phoenix for 8 hours before they cancelled it! If they know that we are not flying out for whatever the reason is, why did they keep lying to us for hours. We could find another flight earlier or even find a hotel with a shuttle. But cancellation at about midnight was not fun. We stayed in the airport all night till the following morning when we bought an Alaska tickets to go back to Phoenix. Total of 14 hours in the airport.
Attendants were rude. Scowling. Seats were miserable and we paid extra.
The experience was great and much better than the flight going out. of course I was in first class but the service was excellent
Comfort of seats, ease of boarding. Food selection could be better
Somehow I got “offloaded” even though I had my boarding pass and was in transit Food is horrible Staff were nice and cheerful No headphones were provided on 11 hours flight
Food options were limited which is absolutely embarrassing for a Flight of this size The staff did not come around as much and I am not accustomed to such poor service from American Airlines Drinks I believe were limited to soda and water
Crew were attentive and friendly. Flight was smooth and early! I enjoyed the less crowded plane. Thank you!
Plane was good but was delayed. probably not AA fault but caused a 1 hour delay. Seating was cramped.
The staff were very helpful with lots of refreshments on offer. The toilets were clean. The seats were comfortable and entertainment was good. No complaints, it was excellent.
Nothing, flight was supposed to leave at 758 am. My flight didn’t leave until 430 pm. Spent the whole day at the airport.
Plane felt so crowded and tightly packed. The chair itself was not comfortable.
I did not enjoy the trip home on Frontier for several reasons: there is too much cost besides the flight, which was more than I would normally pay, then having to pay for luggage, and carry-on, seat (if you want to reserve when booking) then you must pay over $3 for a can of soda, and $4 for a snack. A cup of water is free.
I strongly dislike Frontier. I find them barebones, the seats not particularly comfortable, the nickel and diming is maddening, the app is TERRIBLE - super confusing to navigate, and the last 4 frontier flights I have flown have been on AVERAGE 2 hours late, one ruining a fancy night out in Vegas with reservations made well in advance, which was nodded to with a measly 5000 miles, which translates to almost nothing. At least credit a free checked bag or something.
8 hr delay. had to buy another ticket with another airline
I appreciated the upgrade to free cary-on bag and seat selection at no charge
The agent at check-in was strident, unwelcoming, and condescending to customers ahead of me.
Flight was delay 9hrs and nothing was provided at airport, had to go and get a room to sleep in, paid for Uber back and fort with no offers until we landed back home a 1hr later for a $75 voucher for a future flight.
9hrs delay and didn’t provided anything until after flight landed $75 voucher for fiuture travel no meals or anything.
Our flight was delayed an hour, then when we got to board our flight finally, we were waiting in our seats for take off for 45 minutes before it was communicated that there was a maintenance issue therefore we waited on the plane for over an hour while that was resolved. We did not get to Phoenix until almost 3 hours after we were originally supposed to. This was the first and last time I will be flying Frontier.
There were 3 leg for the trip and each leg was delayed by 90 minutes or more. The boarding process takes forever with people waiting on the jetway even though most folks do not have carry-on. The whole process is poorly managed.
They cancelled the flight then did nothing to help us rebook. It was awful - I won’t fly with them again
