BLUF: Small, clean airport with local flair convenient to downtown Sarasota…read more Typically my husband and I fly into Tampa when visiting Sarasota since we have many choices on SWA. However, recently we decided to go right into SRQ and we loved being at our favorite Sarasota spots right after landing. After landing we were quickly able to navigate the small airport, get our rental car, stop for caffeine and be at The Ringling all within 30 minutes of landing. The airport is small so it's easy to navigate but that also means there are not a ton of amenities. We enjoyed local artwork and displays throughout. Also, the volunteers that provide airport information and tourist information were very welcoming.

I did notice the parking lot was full, but I was lucky enough to be getting dropped off. That could be a major issue on a busy day. Getting through security was really quick and everyone was super nice. They even dressed up as the Grinch greeting people as you got on the plane, which was such a fun touch. Overall, it was a great experience and made traveling during the holidays stress-free.

Tried to explain that we are mid 70 year old customers but it didn't matter that we couldn't stand in lines for 2-3 hours.

Like many airlines they offer a low ticket fee but sneakily charge in other ways (usually baggage)…read more My disappointment is with how they hide the additional fee better than most... So maybe I'm mad at myself for falling for it but we shouldn't have to protect ourselves from sneaky companies. $75 to carry on your bag and I couldn't find that when booking. I would not recommend and will not fly Breeze again.

I was greeted by a nice young lady as soon as I stepped off the plane. I was shocked that when we finally left the ramp and entered the gate area it was practically empty. She wheeled me through the airport pretty quickly and we had a nice conversation about Sarasota and Bradenton. The attendent took me in the elevator with no mishaps down to baggage claims and was nice enough to get my bag for me off the conveyor belt. My return to Atlanta had hiccups. There was a ground stop due to weather. We were supposed to leave at 6pm. We didn't leave until almost 9:30pm. I understand things happen out for your control but it would help if you communicate what is going on. The crew was nice and accommodating but I don't think they knew what was going to happen. We had to de-plane. That took forever. They let me sit there for awhile but an attendant wheeled me off and wheeled me back on when it was time.

Unfortunately, I was told at the gate that there was no room left on the plane for checked bags and was forced to check it underneath the plane.

I have used Corin's driving service 2 times now and will do so in the future as well. She runs a…read morevery dependable and courteous service. She's a very top shelf person, friendly, and a very safe driver. Her cars are squeaky clean and in top mechanical condition. We all know what its like to drive to an airport, find parking, than let your car sit outside in the elements, or to other people that will door ding or damage your car. Then think of what it costs per day for parking, as well as the walk with luggage that many times is a long ways from the terminal you need to go to. After a day of being tired, running through airports, and travel stress, it is much safer to just be driven home! I would much rather pay for a dependable driving service like Corin's that will remove all the other worries and make the trip much less stressful. You definitely get what you pay for and will be very happy in the end! Thanks, SB Sarasota, Florida.

Tried a driving service to the airport for the first time and Corin's Driving Service was awesome!…read more I found recommendations for her on NextDoor, so I reached out. She was very prompt in her reply, which I appreciated. I had to fly out of TPA but was returning to SRQ which was why I was considering a driving service and I'm glad I did. I'll use Corin from this point forward - why deal with the hassle of driving and parking at the airport. I reserved Corin several weeks before my trip. She confirmed all the information at the time of our text exchange and then sent a follow-up text the day before my flight. She also confirmed the information before my return flight a day before my return. It was great having one less thing to worry about or follow-up on. Corin's vehicle is very nice and she was fine if we didn't chat, but we did and we carried on a conversation! She was on-time (actually early) to pick me up and had text me that she was already waiting for me when I landed! The airline had also canceled my flight and when I reached out to Corin to provide some options, she was prompt in her reply and was accommodating to what I might need! I can't express enough the ease and calmness that I received from Corin - which was very much needed when travel arrangements can go a little haywire!

I would NEVER recommend this company. I booked July 2016 to go with them to Cuba in November 2016…read more The trip fell through. They provided no communication along the way. Each person you would speak with would give a different reason for 1 - airfare, 2 - visa requirements, 3 - mandatory health insurance. The point was they never had their sh$t together and it ended up costing us our trip. They did refund the money but their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced. I travel the world and have used multiple travel companies - in addition to independent travel. LJ is unorganized and will nickle and dime the traveler with added fees. You get what you pay for, right? Take my advice, spend a little more money and go with a better company. NEVER AGAIN! Top it off, unlike other companies with a FB page, LJ blocks their page so you can't share a review - wonder why?!?

My partner and I booked a cruise last year for a cruise earlier this year leaving out of San Juan…read more Unfortunately, we didn't make the cruise because of severe snow storm however we did try to make our best effort having to go through 6 cancellations and re-booking through the 2 two airlines (where the average hold time on the phone at the time was 1.5 hours), going through 4 airports and being stranded in New York without winter clothes (as we were expecting to be in a place with tropical weather). The next flight back to where we came from was three days away so we decided to take the bus. All that effort and expenses for the most expensive non-vacation we've ever had. I called the travel agencies after-hours number and they immediately said we can't refund but can try to put us on the next port of call. We tried too however due to the severity of the weather, that flight got cancelled for 7 hours so we wouldn't be able to make it to the port to board in time anyway. I called my travel agent and she said she can't do anything, we can get anything back. She said the only way to get the money back is if we bought the travel insurance. Through them, there is no way to get anything back, not even credit towards another vacation nor will they send a request to the cruise. I think this company is lacking a lot of customer service and compassion given that we clearly gave it our best effort and had been frustrated the past couple of days. They didn't care about keeping us as customers and would rather keep the quick buck that they got from us. I do not recommend this business at all. CHECK REVIEWS ONLINE. You will find that this business have a lot sales/customer services related complaints. You're better off with more established travel agencies out there who clearly care about customer experience.

I was then booked a flight for the next day (Friday) with a layover in Philly. Arrived in Sarasota, checked in bags. After landing in Newark, my bike, gear and clothes did not show up. Waited 4 hours and nothing. The trip was a total loss. No cycling event, spent money on clothes because my luggage was lost and just before my return I get a "we are sorry" call telling me I can pick up my luggage at the airport. The customer service was poor in Newark Airport, no offer to reimburse trip either. Insane trip.I do not recommend United!
