    **Phone Line immediate 24/7 help, *CALL American Airlines at 1 (8.7.7) 5.1.3-0.6.2.0 ^^@.@^^ 1(8.3.3) 6.0.6-6.2.0.0**phone number, They can help with booking . As an Emerald member with the oneworld alliance, I have always received complimentary seat selection on partner airlines. That changed with . I paid $140 for two seats that were clearly shown as a two seat row. When my wife and I boarded, we discovered the row actually had three seats. No one pays extra for a middle seat -- ever. My seat number was k6 and the seat has no cushion whatsoever, I had to stack pillows and blanket to prevent back pain Most incompetent company I've had to deal with. Called someone in Detroit to get information about the plane and flight, he gives me another number to call I believe it was in Chicago. I call that number, another person tells me we don't handle this, you have to call another number. Called that number, that person gave me the original Detroit number. I called Detroit back, another person answers and gives me the information I was asking to begin with. Not done yet. I finally check in and get on the plane, plane was gorgeous and flight attendants for most part were very hard working. Half the people on this flight were idiots, loud, arrogant, dirty and bathrooms even after a couple hours in flight were dirty, urine on the floor, clogged up sinks. Absolutely disgusting!!!! Like a fourth world country on a top of the line plane. I will never ever fly Royal Jordanian again!!!! Would rather pay twice as much and get to Amman in 3 days then fly this airline. Rather take any other airline that go through that hell again.

    Flight down to Texas was a breeze. From check in, flight staff, baggage claim all om point! Flight updates and ease of change to tickets using app after delays was spot on. The flight from DSW back to Seattle was good up until the flight attendant told me I needed to sit back down until after they had serviced the back 15 rows because they didn't want to let me past due to a medical condition in which the use of the bathroom was an immediate need. He was rude, spoke poorly about my small request to let me past (while in the bathroom he continued his behavior with other staff and passengers of the flight. The snacks. Airline kibble at best and do not ask for any extra pretzels. You can only have 1 per seat paid for. If American Airlines wasn't my preferred airline, Id probably pass on telling my fellows to fly em if you have a disorder or just get a seat closer to the bathroom and save the aggravation.

    We've always loved flying with Delta, but this experience really reminded us why they're our go to…read moreairline. A few days ago, after everyone had already boarded the plane, we were asked to deboard due to some confusion surrounding a pilot delay. Unfortunately, it would've put us over an hour behind and risked us missing our connecting flight. Stressful to say the least. Thankfully, one of the Delta attendants immediately jumped into action. I wish I had caught her name because she was incredible. She was already helping rearrange flights for passengers and within just a few minutes of speaking with her, she managed to get us on a direct flight to our destination instead! Not only did it save our trip, but it actually gave us extra time to relax and enjoy breakfast at the Delta lounge. A perfect example of the "burnt toast theory", sometimes an inconvenience ends up working out even better in the end. Amazing customer service and such a kind, efficient employee. Thank you, Delta!

If there's a Delta flight to your destination, BOOK IT!! AA or United is on my do not fly list as Delta leads in the best airline.....but who is number one? Stand-by for more reviews.

    This is a low-coster. It is disingenuous to expect full-price service…read more Your gates WILL be in the farthest corners of the airport. You will be pestered with emails suggesting to pay for this and that in advance to make your trip more pleasant or predictable. You MAY be asked to prove that your hand luggage fits in their size bins (there were two next to my gate with stern warnings, so you can try in advance). You CAN pay through the app in the airport if you need to convert your personal item into a carry-on but that will eat some of the savings. The seats do not tilt; because of that the seating area is actually wider and pant size 42 man comfortably fits with no intrusion to the neighboring space. IMHO 44 should fit too. Your flight crew WILL be nice and bottomless tea or coffee will be 4 bucks. The lavatory is, probably, not cleaned between the flights. I was first and the seat was already "sprinkled" and one of two rolls of toilet paper was already down to the bare core. Short delays are very common with Frontier (at least on LAX-SEA they are) but usually they recover most of it through the flight. My flight left 20 minutes late but arrived on-time. If you fly with just the "personal item" AKA small backpack 18x14x8", accept the toilet situation (I am not saying that they never clean, only that on my flight it was not - for sure), and OK with the need to walk / take a free shuttle from the gate to the airplane, you will save 35%. If you have carry on, you will save ~15%, and if you are flexible with your travel dates, you will fly half-price comparing to the major airlines. The caveat is the usual - no changes and no upgrades of anything.

    I flew from LAs Vegas to Seattle today on flight number 2407. The flight attendants were, by far,…read morethe most unprofessional, unhelpful, and rude attendants I have ever encountered. There was a woman and a man who were in the back of the plane where the restrooms are. Before the flight even took off, the woman said to her male coworker that "the higher ups" don't like her and that's why she's in the back. They then continued talking extremely loudly to the extent that I and several people seated near me thought the conversation was coming out of the overhead speakers. Their conversations consisted of a kind of flirty exchange where the woman was sharing her entire dating life, stories about being drunk and even saying that she has 6 months clean. They continued talking extremely loudly despite multiple passengers looking back and questioning how they could be so unaware. The plane was extremely quiet as many people were returning from Las Vegas so extremely tired and trying to nap. After about 45 minutes, I went to the bathroom near them and politely asked if they realized that the whole back half of the plane e could hear their entire conversation. The response was that this is how they keep themselves awake on the job and began laughing and exchanging undermining and outwardly rude glances. I went back to my seat and about 10 minutes later, a man who was two rows from the back of the plane stood up and asked something similar to the following...would you guys mind keeping it down? We have spent the entire time on this flight listening to your discussions about inappropriate subjects and we would appreciate it if you would remain professional and spare us the details of your personal lives. They laughed and did not respond at which point t he said, "no wonder the higher up's don't like you." They continued to converse loudly and snicker about the passengers requests. At one point a different flight attendant approached them and we thought she would be asking them to quiet down but within moments she was laughing and clearly not informing them that they were out of line. At this time, I was filming and attempting to Document the situation. The woman then approached my seat and demanded that I stop recording. She had a red card and said if I did not stop recording she would hand the red card and I would be met by the police upon landing. When I tried to explain the situation, she said that she was unaware of that and when I asked for a supervisor, she stated the there was no supervisor on board and reminded me that it is against privacy rules to Record anyone without their permission. Overall, this was the worst flight I have ever experienced. The lack of professionalism and common courtesy was astounding. I will never fly with Frontier again.

    We had a flight booked on Air France from Marsellie France to Paris then on to Seattle Washington…read morewith a connecting flight to Portland. Before I made the reservation I somehow did not see the 55 minute connection in Paris but I certainly noticed after I bought the ticket. I called the airline and they said people make th3 connection all the time with no issues. On the return travel day, we departed Marsellie 10 minutes late. Upon landing the pilot of our Air France plane said we arrived only 5 minutes late. After pulling up to the gate, there was no announcement about letting transferring passengers deplane first. By the way, We were assigned seats by the airline in the back of the plane. We had also been told our arriving and departing planes would be relatively close. We landed at 2F and had to get to 2E Gate L53. After getting off the plane we scurried ahead to find Passport control and only 4 agents working a line of 200 people. 2 of the 4 agents were helping priority customers only, like first class. The other 2 were helping the vast majority of us. After 25 minutes we made it through Passport control. We then ran. We ran and ran. We ran on the moving sidewalks and shouted "pardon" in French a hundred times. By the time we got to L53 we discovered the gates were nearly as far apart as possible within the terminal 2. Anyway, our flight was to depart at 1:10 pm. We arrived panting at 1pm. They asked us who we were and entered our names and then wouldn't talk to us for another 5 minutes when I finally blurted out, are we going to be able to get in the flight or not? They said "Sorry to say you have missed your flight". A moment before she said this I saw AFrance escorting a passenger down the gangway, probably a first class passenger, we were just steerage. At 1:20, 20 minutes after we arrived, we were sent away to another desk to try and find a different flight. As we walked away, our plane we should have been on was still sitting there. By the way, I heard Air France tell 6 other customers the same thing, "Sorry YOU have missed your flight" rather than the appropriate "Sorry, WE caused you to miss your connection ". We ended up getting home only 5 hours later than anticipated but we had the worst seats imaginable on our remaining flights, and of course we did not get to sit together!! I don't think I will fly Air France again, ever.

AF used to be a quality airline but it is obvious it has gone down hill. I won't fly with them again. The condition of the plan matches that of SEATAC airport. They both need a lot of work. SEATAC is dirty and dingy and outdated. Avoid it if you can. It is a depressing place to fly from The people working on the plane were really nice. It is a shame they have to work in such dismal planes. They should think about going on strike. I'm sure someone in France can tell them about it.

    I mean, at this point what can I really say about Spirit that we all don't already know?…read more I still say in certain situations; they can be a decent fit. Take our recent quick 2-day trip from LAS to SEA. Roundtrip tickets were barely over $100 per person round trip. Holy crap! Say what you want, but that is a real good price! Bag fees are tricky for me. If I have a short trip I don't need to pack a lot. No matter what you do, you do get a free personal item. That is really calling it too tight for comfort, IMO. So, for this last trip I did an upgrade on their website for $35 per way, per person ($140.00 total). My extra $140 got us assigned seating to sit next to my partner for both flights near the front of the plane for both legs. It also got both of us a free carry-on item each, both ways in addition to our personal item. More than enough for a 2-day trip! Considering the fact that, if you checked in a bag at the airport day of, it could cost you $65 per bag, per leg that feels like a great deal! I mean, even with the extra money my total ticket price is still under $200 each round trip. I can totally live with that! As for the flights themselves, it is still Spirit so keep your expectations reasonable (read:low). Both flights were delayed, but nothing too bad. Usual mix of some very nice employees and some mildly passive ones as well. Nothing too bad. Honestly, I can bitch all I want, but I know for the right price and a short enough trip I will use them again. 3 stars.

    Turkish Airlines is a newer airline flying into Seattle as they only started nonstop flights to…read moreIstanbul in 2022. The airline is known for offering flights to the most destinations around the world. I flew on Turkish a few years ago from Seattle to Thessaloniki via Istanbul during spring break. For the most part, it was a good experience. The pluses are mostly with the in-flight experience. They use Dreamliner planes and serve tasty meals on all flights, including my short haul flights to and from Greece. The IFE system has extensive entertainment and they give all passengers an amenity bag on long haul flights. Lastly, the baggage allowance is generous as you can check in 2 bags. I do also want to bring up some items to consider booking on Turkish. My flight to Istanbul was nearly a hour late, but I still made my connection. Try not to book flights with short layovers. Also some of the connections have long layovers to destinations in the Middle East and Central Asia with flights arriving at odd hours. You may want to consider doing a stopover in Istanbul instead, which Turkish has a good program for. Lastly, gate security in Istanbul is extensive. So expect a thorough check of your carryon items before your flight. Overall, I enjoyed flying on Turkish. It is a well run airline with good fares to Europe and a great in-flight experience. However, you should consider travel time, especially layovers and the amount of backtracking needed to get to your destination when deciding whether to book.

    We flew Turkish Airlines from Madrid to Seattle in 2025, via Istanbul, and we had a great…read moreexperience. Our layover was long enough to be able to get to our next gate, and yet short enough to feel like we weren't wasting time. The flight was frankly luxurious compared to other long international flights. We flew to South America yearly for a while, and the economy experience on Turkish Airlines was like the Business Class experience on the unnamed airline to Montevideo. There were always two options for the meals. My wife was able to get gluten-free meals. The help staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It may well have been the best long flight experience in my life.

    Had amazing experience flying from Seattle to Helsinki to my home country Latvia with Finnair…read more Finnair expanded their flights and I was happy to see that I can fly trough Helsinki instead of Frankfurt to my home country out of Seattle because layover was shorter and it's also only 1 hour flight from Helsinki to Riga. Finnair partner up with British airways business lounge and it was very decent food and drinks (compare what I had with Lufthansa last year few celery sticks and a cookie). The lounge wasn't so big and one can hear some rude people speaking loud on their phones but it had a nice view of the runway. Our flight was on time and I was settling in my Business class seat after short boarding process. They welcomed me with the drink ( I choose their signature blueberry juice and Northern Blush cocktail -must try) and they also provide amenity kit (which was disappointing) It didn't had toothbrush or any socks, also their cream had very bad smell and texture. I hope they will improve that. The wireless phone charger didn't work for me because my phone has a case and it was not picking it up. Pillow blanket and pad were provided, also I noticed that I didn't got any slippers because when I was leaving the plane I saw many people had same slippers. Food was very good on the way there. I had for an appetizer crab meat with mayo mousse, caprese salad and nice piece of salmon with veggies. For dessert I had raspberry tart with tea. And plenty of blueberry juice- thats my favorite! (Unfortunately food on the way back wasn't great. They ran out of their signature drink Northern Blush at Helsinki which is Finnair hub!!! Smocked salmon on the way back was too salty and too smocked. Weird food options like shrimp quiche for breakfast or pork dinner which is not so appealing even to person that doesn't have any dietary restrictions. Both breakfast and dinner were bad, breakfast looked poor and tasted poor and dinner I couldn't even eat. Also why to serve cauliflower as a side on a long haul flights). Important to note seat doesn't recline but it lay flat! So you can't adjust it for a recliner like on other planes. Also belt is like in a car. But it didn't bothered me because I could adjust leg part of the seat but not the back. Entertainment was good and they had a lot of good new movies available. I wasn't bored at all! I watch Missis Harris goes to Paris (what an amazing inspirational movie) and The unbearable weight of massive talent. Bed was cozy and I had 4 h nap and woke up to breakfast. Hour and a half before landing in Helsinki they served us Breakfast which was very generous. It had cheese & ham, croissant, bread muffin, fruits, omelette, yogurt and mini jam. I was full and ready to spend 6 h layover at Helsinki! (Originally was 1h40m but then they changed it) Enjoyed my flight and definetely will consider again. Hopefully they will keep their good pricing compare to Swiss and Lufthansa!

    I recently flew with Finnair from Seattle, WA to Vilnius, Lithuania; it was a wonderful experience…read morefrom start to finish. I was a bit skeptical at first as I had originally booked with British Air, only to find out that the flights were operated by Finnair. Thankfully, there was clear communication regarding flight details once booked. Onboard, the cabin crew were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring all passengers were comfortable.The meals served were well proportioned for "airline food." You must try their signature blueberry juice! There was a slight delay departing Seattle, but I had no issues with my connecting flight in Helsinki. All of my other flights took off on time, and we arrived a few minutes early each time. The only drawback is with luggage. My particular ticket was for carry-on luggage only. Finnair has a max combined weight of 8kg (~17.5 lbs), which can be difficult to meet with most suitcases. I used a light-weight travel backpack and just barely made the cutoff. Overall, Finnair exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them for anyone traveling from Seattle, WA to Vilnius, Lithuania. I will be flying with Finnair again!
