This was a connecting flight for me and I had already traveled for 7 hours. First, the Pilot didn’t show up and then the gate changed twice, after which the flight was rescheduled for 2 hours later. This made me late and I had to make other transportation arrangements to get home to Astoria another 1 hour & 45 minutes away. This cost me $250 more than it should have. Will not fly southwest again.

Southwest has a serious issue with keeping their passengers in the dark about delays. They also appear to lack the necessary crews to deal with any sort of hiccup in their operations. The way they run their day-to-day operations is a joke. You are telling me that a hail storm in Denver, where hail storms are incredibly common, results in hours of delays due to every plane needing to be inspected for hail damage? Understandable, but there seems to be a skeleton crew of maintenance workers undergoing this daunting task. There was no particular order of inspecting planes, leading to some planes only having an hour delay or less in others having four or more just because of the luck of the draw of what plane got inspected with no consideration to how long the respective delay was. The entire time the passengers were told nothing except the fact that there was lightning in the area and the ground crews could not load the bags. This always happens that Southwest will incrementally delay a flight with no information given, leaving many frustrated passengers fuming once they find out that their flight is canceled. Don't make people wait around for hours at the airport giving them no information, just to keep them on the hook and prevent any action from being taken by the passengers in terms of finding alternate routes of transportation or accommodations for the night. How many hours of people's times do you think you waste by operating like this? How about having a fully staffed crew in one of your busiest hubs that is famous for severe weather that can effectively deal with a situation like this, or how about having planes on standby to quickly replace in case something like this happens, like all the other major airlines do. This is just like the Christmas fiasco but on a Denver scale, but again this is literally just from a single thunderstorm going over Denver in the spring. I'm glad I've stopped using Southwest as my primary airline and have switched to United. Every single time I fly Southwest, something has to come up. It's ridiculous and I seriously can't wait to finish using my miles so I don't have to deal with your garbage anymore. You used to be so good and I don't know why you thought you could just scrap your quality and expect people to deal with it. Oh, and I walked by someone getting CPR for over 5 minutes in the concourse. I hope he was ok. Southwest needs something similar.
Southwest is a garbage airline and the people who fly it are garbage people.
Left GEG had the first flight of the morning and couldn’t leave due to broken plane then got redirected on to another flight which then I missed my connecting flight so they rescheduled my connecting flight then that one took off 3 1/2 hours late my 4 1/2 hour day turned into a 12 1/2 hour day
Easier that prior flight. The airline attendants didn’t really do most of their job as I noted in prior email.
There were 20 wheel chairs to pre- board… suggestion for those that can walk to do so, and wouldn’t loose pre- board. Prob half of them walked. Our flight was over 45 minutes late, weather related we were told… hummm. We almost missed our connection in Baltimore. My A-27 boarding placement on Baltimore flight I paid $25 for had already gotten on plane. So lost that too. No time for lunch… no service on Baltimore to Hartford flight. No one checked that seat belts fastened etc. before that flight landed… The whole thing was just very stressful. I just don’t remember a Southwest experience being that way before.
We stood on the tarmac for over an hour. Very bad turbulence the whole ride. Very to get to the restroom.
Our flight to Oakland was great bc the plane was new but it was delayed by 15min not bad at all. Over all it was an 8/10
Our first flight was so delayed that we had 10 mins to board the next one. We requested if the flight attendant could allow us off there plane first and they denied our request even though I have seen this done before. Luck was on our side that we didn’t miss our next flight.
Delay after delay after delay. Very disappointing I am about ready to give up on Southwest. One of the crewmembers sat and played games on her phone for the entire trip from Chicago to Baltimore. Unbelievable, very unprofessional, and very disappointing.
Sat on tarmac for 30 minutes despite staring at three empty gates, one of which we eventually pulled into
The flight was mostly smooth and quiet. No seatback screens.
I do not feel the priority seating I paid for was was adequate for the cost. there was no difference from coach on any other airline, and it was very uncomfortable
First flights on Alaska Air, and I will go out of my way to fly them whenever I can in the future. An incredible experience, above and beyond any other airline.
Great flight. No problems. Everett Airport was so easy to get into and out of. Great alternative to SeaTac. Alaska was excellent!
It was warm on the plane. Perhaps the people who were coughing quite often should be encouraged to wear a mask?! It was a long 4 hours.
I enjoyed the leg room at my seat, but I was in an exit row.
Why do you ask about food when only a snack is served? Actual food needs to be bought.
There was an older male crew member that was very rude to me when doing the last checks before pulling back from the terminal. There is a polite way to tell someone to put their bag under the seat. It was Mother’s Day and my mom has recently passed so it was a tough morning for me in general. There was no need to make for the snide remark “ I don’t know how many times we have said this already” as you walked away. I had held it together all morning and this interaction brought me to tears. love Alaska Airlines and this is the first time I’ve had a negative experience.
Alway a a breeze! And great mountain views on left side of plane during entire flight!
Flight was late. Club was full. Experience is exactly what I expected.
Inflight entertainment stopped working as we taxi to runway and never worked again until landing and taxi to gate. Grrrr
The seat could use more support or cushion. I'm in my 50's and have back issues so the seats are a bit hard for longer flights.
Delta flight overall it was goodT!the crew could do more and the food could be better.
This flight was supposed to land at 10:55 pm on January 14th. Instead, it landed at 3:20 am on Monday, January 15th, resulting in a completely lost day due to not going to bed until 5:00 am.
Airline stewardess service is good. The check-in attendant had a bad attitude and was unprofessional. We did not complete the trip as originally planned. Very dissatisfied☹️
Crew was wonderful, very professional and pleasant. On time performance. Excellent flights,smooth. Thank you!
Fast boarding and exit. Different snacks other than almonds and sun chips.
The flight was overbooked and the staff at the gate started calling for volunteers to drop out and offering incentives. That delayed the flight
Update the cabin with tv screens or at least music sources.
We were told that our flight would be delayed for 90+ minutes because of weather, so we went to get something to eat only to have them randomly start boarding 15 minutes after the announcement, with no warning.
Entertainment... No earphones passed out. Many including me couldn't use the TV. Legroom was good. Crew was indifferent and a bit surly. Free wifi was a nice convenience. Check in desk location was unknown. Gate number on the boarding passes was wrong.
Going through JFK’s security is a mess. The TSA security said no shoes on the bins. So, we place our shoes in the belt and they came out all over the belt. Boarding was delayed and Flight as well.
Safe and on time were the positives. The plane wasn't cleaned before boarding, there was garbage and food on the floor and in the seat pocket. The TV screen was small and the picture fuzzy, audio quality was poor. Seatbelt was fraying and seat did not recline properly. No charging ports near the seats,
Confusing. Delay updates were out of whack At one point it said my flight was 25 hours. Three gate changes and two delays only to change back to original departure time. Gate announcer and on board flight attendant (Alejandro) making the announcements was impossible to understand due to accent and speed of speech. After beverage service the rear flight attendants sat back there on their phones. No refills no checking in, one sweep through for trash collection. Very impersonal. Bring back Coke products
Delayed departure. Delayed after landing pulling into gate. Delay due to sky bridge malfunction
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
Terrible. Flight was cancelled due to the weather in the east and sout east(florida). Did not get any compesation of any kind. According to them, it was not under their control so I lost all the money paid for the 2 fairs from Raleigh, NC to Orlando, Fl.
great flight. Pilot was communicative, flight attendants were excellent. Really nice experience except my tv didn’t work.
Was the longest flight I have ever taken to Orlando. Not Westjet’s fault necessarily. There was a traffic issue in Orlando. We sat in the airplane for about 2 hrs before leaving Calgary on a 5 hour flight was just a little long to be stuck in the plane. Once we arrived in Orlando we were stuck in traffic on the ground for another 30min. I guess maybe the flight could be delayed so boarding would have been later so we wouldn’t have to have the discomfort of being on the plane so long.
Airport monitors did not give the gate for our flight returning Detroit to Vancouver Juice served from glass storage containers are a far more healthy alternative for people. And would also minimize the need for recycling plastic or aluminum containers
I wish that seats closer to the front of the plan were available, but when I booked the flight the seats were VERY expensive so I did not book seats at that time. The day before flying only seats at the back of the plane were available. It takes so long to board the plane and empty the plane on arrival due to SO many roller bags.
I was seated next to someone so obese I had no space and was pushed against the window. I could not even put my tray down or work. My neck still hurts from that experience. They should not let that happen. Large people should have to pay for enough space.
We requested 2 wheel chairs upon arrival. On board an attendant told us to remain in our seats until everyone was off the plane. we were in row 11 and thought we would be off early. After all were off, a different attendant said we should leave, and that the chairs were gone. One was available for my friend who had just spent 9 days in hospital but I had to walk quite some distance. Eventually a cart arrived to take us the rest of the way. This was over an hour after our arrival. The staff at the terminal did their best to help us but if we had been allowed off with the other passengers, our ride home would have been an hour earlier.
Good flight. No I’m seat entertainment. But my phone worked just fine on the west jet app.
I had planned to watch the Westjet entertainment for the entire flight however, because the seat mounted outlets in our row did not work.
Over all good. I had some issues with trying to buy my seat. The Westjet system kept trying to charge my credit card, without getting the seat. In the end after 5 times being charged, I got my seat.
I did not have a meal or entertainment, but flight was comfortable, beverage service was quick, crew was very helpful and pleasant. And a very smooth flight overall.
Not a bad flight but our priority tagged luggage was the very last to come down the carousel.
