I just boarded and it looks like someone from a previous went poo in the seat by me. Hope no one sits there.
Amy Lauren S.

When you board the plane and see a weird brown stain on the seat beside you, it's not a good first impression of JetBlue. We had to wait on the mechanics to check some things- which I was totally fine with because safety is always first, especially in the air. Then, we spent about 45 minutes waiting + taxiing to the runway, before the pilot told us we were going back to the gate due to said mechanical issues. Once we de-planed, we had to wait over an hour for a new plane to arrive at the airport to take us to Charleston. Walking around the JetBlue terminal at JFK airport, I saw most other flights were experiencing delays as well. The airline did issue us $12 meal vouchers on our credit cards, but by the time the voucher reached my email inbox, I was trying to stay close to the gate to avoid missing my (new) plane. I wish we'd been told about the meal vouchers as soon as we got off the plane so that we could have used it. Once we boarded the new plane, we still had a long wait to taxi to the runway and take off. We arrived in CHS about four hours late. The airport was still crowded at the gate, as the plane was flying back to JFK at 10:30-11 PM at night. The redeeming quality of JetBlue was the free in-flight wifi. I'm really glad the pilots turned it on as soon as the doors closed. I was able to crank out a few Yelp reviews and keep my airport ride updated throughout this saga.

I can't say enough great things about JetBlue. Price is right... Haven't ever experienced delays with this airline, and, yet still give you free snack options with light beverages.

Our plane had a few issues before takeoff and the engine needed to be worked on. In that moment, I was completely fine with waiting -- I'm a take your time type of girl. I only have one life to live, and I'd much rather be safe. The highlight of the trip was definitely the flight attendants, especially Noemi! Noemi, if you ever come across this, please know how much I enjoyed your energy. You bring joy in such a professional yet down-to-earth way. Flights truly need more attendants like you! During the flight, I watched the Claressa Shields movie (which was really good), snacked on my plantain chips, and sipped on cranberry juice. We made it safely, and when we landed, we had a cheer for safety moment.

Flew out of JFK the other day and it was a mediocre experience. Booked via a corporate travel agent and everything worked. Purchased economy and was able to purchase an Even More seat that also included priority security along with priority group A boarding in a separate transaction. The JetBlue app was great and was able to check-in 24 hours prior to my flight, including my Trusted Traveler number for TSA Precheck. Tracked my incoming plane before leaving Manhattan and was pleased to see my plane waiting at JFK since the night prior. Upon arrival to JFK, received a collection of texts, in-app notification, along with emails informing me of a 2 hour delay. Turns out they had to ferry a plane from Boston to JFK, which was also delayed by an hour, resulting in a 3 hour delay. At the 3 hour mark, JetBlue brought out mini waters and snacks that were identical to the ones that are found in the JetBlue pantry on board. Interestingly enough, this was also our boarding. I'm not sure if it was the agent, the mic, the speaker by the gate, or my ears, I wasn't able to hear a word that the gate agent was trying to say. It appears that all of the passengers around me were also having similar listening comprehension difficulty. Once on board our ~1.5 year old A321neoLR, the cabin featured larger overhead bins for storing luggage like a taco. Group A boarding is almost a must on domestic flights in order to secure a slot in the overhead bins. The Even More seat at the Emergency Exit row was gigantic at 37" of pitch. My understanding is that my row didn't recline. I've stopped reclining when flying Economy nowadays. The IFE was great featuring personalization in addition to DirecTV, TV shows, movies, and audio. Despite being a new plane, the seat cushions were starting to wear out, making the ~6 hour flight rather uncomfortable. Cabin crew were all in JetBlue uniform with their name tag. Some opted to wear tight nitrile gloves. Once in the air, cabin crew thanked the Even More passengers for their business and offered some chocolate chip cookies. This was followed by in-flight purchases, complimentary snacks, and then complimentary beverages. JetBlue's competitive advantage seems to be unlimited premium snacks along with their inflight pantry concept. It was also odd that the seatbelt sign was left illuminated for the entire flight...

Yes we are ready to jet!

When we fly from the west coast to the east coast, we usually fly Jet Blue. Flying from SFO to New York on a red eye works for us. Ticket prices are fabulous and the terminal has all you need while you wait for your plane to arrive. Flight attendants are gracious and the plane is clean. Don't forget that some in flight food items are not available on flights in the air after 8pm. You will get as many beverages as you would like and snacks too. There is free wi-fi on board and outlets to charge your ipad, phone, or laptop. Don't forget that if you book your flight using your Jet Blue Premium credit card that you get one bag check-in per ticket. Thank you Jet Blue! In fall of 2025, the Jet Blue Airport Lounge is supposed to be open and available in JFK Airport.

I loved flying with Jet Blue when they had flights out of LGB, so I decided to fly again with Jet Blue from a different airport. I was in first class or what they call MINT class on their Air Bus 321 going and 321 neo coming back. I sat in 4A going and 1A coming. A321 had a different seat configuration than A321 neo. On A321, I picked an even row seat as these are single seats and larger than the ones in odd numbered rows. On A321 neo, the seats in row A are their mint studio seats and are larger than the mint suite seats in rows B onward. Both ways I really enjoyed the lie-flat seat with the soft comforter and pillow. Mint Studio has the largest TV on a U.S. airline and extra space/side seat in case you have someone flying with you come to sit and chat. It is very private as it has a sliding privacy door. FAA regulation only allows to close the privacy door if 5 or more flights attendants are on board. Also, Wi-Fi was included along with meal service, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and 2 checked luggages in mint class. Directly behind the last row of Mint Class there is a snack pantry available to all passengers to get more snacks than what is handed out. I thought this concept made for efficiency. If you wanted a snack you can get it without having to wait for a flight attendant. The food options were great and tasty. The staff all had great attitudes and I felt at ease flying with Jet Blue.

JetBlue's main hub at JFK is T5, and all JetBlue flights departure at JFK are from here. I've experienced that their local staff weren't as helpful as other crew from different hubs.

Norse Atlantic Airways - More lies then my girl got tired and demanded answers others were yelling but Susie chose her not to board the plane

A great deal is you travel lean. I thought I got a great place but the luggage fee was just as…read moreexpensive as the ticket. Also, when I checked in, I found out there allowance for cabin luggage was very limited. I had a backpack and it did not fit their requirements. Another $85 fee. Fees , fees, fees should be the nickname. No complimentary items on board. To be fair, I should have read all the fine print which is why I am posting this review to alert others. Otherwise, if you travel super light and can pack all your meals (if it fits your baggage limits) it might be for you. The plane and staff were fine but FEES.

Formal Complaint Regarding Our Experience with Norse Atlantic Airways…read more I want to share the horrific experience my wife and I had while flying with Norse Atlantic Airways from Rome to New York, a flight of approximately nine hours. My wife is six months pregnant, and as you can imagine, sitting for an extended period of time has become increasingly uncomfortable for her. I had originally purchased a Premium ticket because I was extending a business trip, and my wife decided to join me. As a result, she was traveling on a regular ticket and was seated toward the back of the aircraft. Before boarding, we spoke with the staff at the gate and were given the option to upgrade to Premium, which made us aware that there were Premium seats available. Once I boarded the aircraft, I explained our situation to the flight attendants. I specifically explained that my wife was six months pregnant and would likely become increasingly uncomfortable during the nine hour flight. I asked whether, if there were unoccupied Premium seats after takeoff, she might be permitted to move up so that she could be more comfortable. Instead of showing any understanding or compassion for the situation, the flight attendants immediately focused on charging an additional $350 for her to move to Premium. At the time, there appeared to be approximately 6-8 unoccupied Premium seats. I understand that airlines have policies regarding seating and upgrades, but the complete lack of flexibility or consideration for a six month pregnant passenger was extremely disappointing. The flight attendants also pointed out that I had a Premium seat while my wife was seated toward the back. I explained that this was originally a business trip and that my wife had decided to accompany me. They then suggested that I simply switch seats with her which, ironically, was exactly what I had intended to do all along. I had simply hoped that the crew might show some compassion and allow my pregnant wife to sit in one of the clearly available Premium seats if the seats remained empty after takeoff. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Immediately after takeoff, I switched seats with my wife. A short time later, I wanted to check on her because I knew she was becoming increasingly uncomfortable from the swelling and pressure associated with sitting for such a long period of time while pregnant. As I attempted to walk toward the front of the aircraft to check on her, I was stopped by the flight attendants and told that I was not permitted to go to the front. I simply wanted to check on my pregnant wife and make sure she was okay. Rather than showing any understanding, the flight attendants became increasingly stern and unprofessional. I was ultimately given three options: 1. Return to my original seat in the back. 2. Pay an additional $350 to upgrade. 3. If I did not accept either option, they threatened to involve the authorities. I found this response completely disproportionate to the situation. I was simply trying to check on my six month pregnant wife during a nine hour international flight. The situation became even more disturbing a couple of hours later. Because we had left our respective bags at our original seats so that we would not have to repeatedly disturb other passengers, my wife came to the back of the aircraft to check on me and retrieve something from her bag. As soon as she did, a flight attendant yelled at her and ordered her to return to her seat. Shortly afterward, the same flight attendant followed her to her seat and told her that she had better have gotten everything she needed from her bag because she would not be permitted to leave that section of the aircraft for the next eight hours. The flight attendant spoke to my wife in an extremely rude and aggressive manner and threatened that if she got up again, the authorities would meet us at the gate. My wife was so upset by the way she was spoken to and threatened that she began to cry. This was particularly disturbing given that she was six months pregnant and was simply attempting to retrieve an item from her own bag and check on her husband. Her food was also with me in the back, and she was unable to access it even though she was pregnant and hungry. In addition, we couldn't eat the plane food because we keep kosher, so the food was a necessity for her. We were essentially prevented from even checking on or assisting one another because we were seated in different cabin classes. The entire flight crew was made aware of the situation, and I was treated as though I had done something seriously wrong simply for trying to make sure my pregnant wife was okay. I was effectively singled out by the crew for the remainder of the flight. There was also no Wi-Fi available, meaning I could not even message my wife to check on her. This experience was deeply upsetting and completely unacceptable. What should have been a straightforward situation involving a pregnant passenger who was becoming

I've never had a problem with customer service. I used their app to get updates and check in for flights. I love that they have a lot of destinations they fly to and their fares are fairly comparable to other airlines.

Yelp Review 2026 #240:…read more Coming from an international flight at JFK was very interesting and exhilarating having only 2 hours of a layover. Flying Delta First means boarding in group 1, exported security screening, priority luggage, and overhead space guaranteed. Recently, Delta has added Shake Shack as their inflight meal option but you have to pre-order it - the app and an e-mail will remind you about 2-5 days prior to your flight. I was enjoying the Delta One Lounge when I got an alert on my phone that my flight was boarding. The Delta One Lounge was in between A and B gates and I was boarding at gate B32 which was about 15 minutes away. So, by the time I got to my gate, they were boarding group 4 already. There was no overhead space for my bags right above my seat (1A) so I had to put my bags 2 spaces back. There was a bottle of water waiting for me but I missed the window for the welcome drink. There was one nice flight attendant, the other 2 were not welcoming at all. Flying first class on any American airline doesn't mean much. There's a bit more leg room and a 2-2 seat configuration and that's about it. And I guess you get unlimited alcohol, snacks and inflight meal with your ticket. I was happy with my Shake Shack as my meal onboard. I mean, there is a Shake Shack at JFK and you can just bring it and eat it on the plane. Instead of fries, we got a bag of crinkle cut chips. You get the burger served on a plate and you get utensils. You also get a Shake Shack brownie. There's no USB-C outlet but I brought my own plug that has both USB and USB-C slots so charging my electronics was not an issue. There's free WiFi onboard if you have a Delta account. They have a nice selection of new movies - some I have not seen yet despite flying almost everyday for the past few weeks. But when we arrived in Las Vegas, we had to deplane not from the front but behind first class! People in economy got to deplane first then why did we pay at a premium for this?

I flew China Southern Airlines from New York to China. We had a layover in Wuhan. The agent booking the initial flight from NYC didn't give us enough time to clear immigration, reclaim our bags, and check them back in. So we ended up missing our flight. China Southern rebooked our entire party on the next available plane which luckily was 3 hours later. They did this change without additional cost to us. I thought that was amazing because they did not have to do that! The flight attendants were excellent. They responded promptly and efficiently to everyone who pushed the call button. They anticipated passenger needs before they arose. The seats were large enough to make the 14-hour flight as comfortable as possible. Every seat has their own entertainment with a nice selection of movies, TV shows, and games. They kept the passengers stocked with pillows and blankets. They fed us multiple times and the food was relatively decent. The flights left on time and arrived early for the most part. On the way back to the States, I was able to speak with the ticket agent and they checked our bags all the way through which should have been done initially by the agent who booked our tickets so China Southern arranged that for us as well. I have nothing but good things to say about China Southern Airlines and I would fly them again :-)

The first time, we were on a very old airplane. It was about a 10-hour flight from JFK to Tel Aviv, so it would have been nice to have had some entertainment. There was a TV screen from 1984 on the back of every chair, and it played movies that kept cycling through, AKA you could not control the start or end time of it. Coming home, we were on what I was told was a Dreamliner, and it was very modern and much better. Each seat comes equipped with an iPad type of screen and there was a large selection of movies, TV shows, and even books to choose from. The food was actually very good for the most part, for breakfast yesterday they fed us omelets and I don't eat eggs, so I asked for something else, but they didn't have an alternate (they said they had ran out). Since I can't eat dairy either, and the breakfast consisted of yogurt and other dairy things, I was stuck eating the bread and the small cookie. On the newer plane that we got, the seats reclined far back, which I thought was a good thing at first... Until the rude passenger in front of me put her seat down all the way for the entire 12-hour flight. I initially asked her to move it up a little bit and she did move it all the way up (more than I expected). Later, she reclined all the way back again, and I asked her to move it up a little, to which she flatly replied, No. She must have told the flight attendant that I asked her this, too, because the flight attendant then asked me not to "tell" her that she has to put her seat up. (I didn't TELL, I asked....) Other than that, the trip home was much better than the trip there, due to the modern plane and the snacks and amenities offered.

So far my least favorite airline. Well, except for maybe United. I hate United. My first trip to…read moreIsrael. 11 hours. Started out getting on the plane thirty minutes early, all is well with the world. Sit down. Wait. Wait. Keep waiting. We left 80 minutes late. Guess how many announcements they made. I'll wait (I did already for so long). Yup, that's right, 0. We literally sat there from 11:20pm through 1:10am with not one announcement. So we finally take off, things are fine. About seven hours in, the elderly woman next to me tried to in-recline her seat in business class. Nope. Unsuccessful. So the staff comes and tries to fix it for ten minutes while she's standing next to them. She's 80 for chrissakes. Let the woman sit. So after over 20 minutes of this, they offer her first class, she wants to stay with her family, so they give her my seat and I take the first class seat. Yay. It's so....average. Literally the only difference between first class and business class is more leg room and better waitstaff. It's not special. So super long story long, coach would have been a nightmare, entertainment doesn't exist (there's a TV but it one from the 1980s with programming from the 19th century), there's no Wifi or outlets for an 11 hour plus flight, and the food isn't good. So why two stars? Well the seats are comfortable. I slept better on that plane than I do in my bed. I wouldn't go at all in coach, but business class is fine. And I felt safe which can't be understated. Back again and it's worse than last time. 2.5 hour delay with no announcement why. So for three flights, I've had waits of 1, 1.5 and 2.5 hours, respectively, and numbers of announcements of 0,0 and 0. My friend is in coach and he says that it stinks unbearably. It's also very warm, as the air isn't on despite us being on the plane for twenty minutes. I'm still not going to give it 1 star since I sleep so well in business class on these recliners, but this airline doesn't have much else going for it.

I had to call and could not do this online as we have a child flying with a different parent each way. I was trying to purchase tickets to Vienna today. Called the number online Austrian Airlines listed as 1 (800) 843-0002. Pressed 2 for United States, received message, "for organizational reasons, you will be redirected to Luftansa." I spoke with two representatives for which when they went to try to book the line was connected but remained silent - they didn't respond further without telling me to hold. I then called back and spoke with a lovely man Derriek who was reportedly able to make the reservation and took my credit card information, but didn't give me a confirmation #. I called back and rep Porgy said he could not find my reservation. I requested to speak with a supervisor Gabby who also could not find my reservation and said we could try to rebook so in the process of checking flights and giving her all our information, she kindly went to check how much extra baggage would be, but then returned and noted that since it was an austrian air flight, she could not book for us (?!!!) She said I would need to call Austrian Air. When I told her that I DID call Austrian Air and that the phone redirected me to her organization which I thought was Luftansa. I asked for Austrian Air's number and she gave me516.738.4422. I called that number and received a recording that it was a customer feedback line to which no live person would answer (!!!) I left a message to notify them of the issues. I then resorted to a travel agency. However, when just double checking if the Austrian Air number really did route to Luftansa, I got representative named John, who said they were a "Miles and More" Star Alliance center who would be able to book any of the star alliance airlines including Austrian Air and Luftansa. But THAT call got disconnected. This was so crazy and wasted hours of my day. I'm very disappointed by these airlines and wish they had the decency to at least be upfront about whether they could book or not and do it in a timely/professional fashion.

I am shocked by my own positive review of Austrian Airlines from exactly the same time last year!…read moreThis time, it was all largely awful as follows: 1- Tight, cramped seating that made the 8 1/2 hours really miserable. The aisles are so narrow that the flight attendants who walk aggressively, the carts, and other passerbys constantly knock into people in the aisle seats. 2- Barebones amenities: Poor entertainment choices on flights to and from JFK. Lots of 'B' movies and TV. 3- Poor quality food: Vegetarian dinner was simply pasta and tomato sauce- no vegs, no nothing. Breakfast was a hard sweet roll and the coffee was beyond awful 4- Filthy/dirty bathrooms! On most other airlines, the staff will check periodically to make sure the bathrooms are bearably clean. NOT on Austrian. How utterly disgusting after many hours in the air! 5- Hot and stuffy in the cabin with no ability to manually adjust air flow above our heads and the staff kept it warm- probably in the 80s. Who can sleep in such heat?? 6- Check in at the Vienna airport for Austrian Airlines is incredibly barebones. No personnel to check you in. Instead you must use the confusing machines, with only one assistant to help people use the many kiosks. The only personnel are the 2 people to receive your checked-in luggage. The Austrian Airlines experience was so poor that I now dread using them again if I want to return to Vienna. I probably would even chose using Luthansa with a stop, in order to avoid this really terrible airline!
