Erick W.

Thanks for getting us here even though it seems the airline broke our reservation up/apart so that the passenger who booked with the Southwest rewards card was separate from the other three to possibly get bag fees? We will certainly be calling customer service to figure out what is going on but this is not how we booked and we will be learning from this experience to make sure it doesn't happen again - and it hasn't happened in the past either. This is our first experience post all the changes. We will see - the folks took care of us at check in so no complaints and lots of praise for the check in agent.

First time flying Southwest into and out of Hobby Houston. On time arrival, but a very delayed flight out by hours. So why the four stars? Exceptional flight crew flying in. Extra snacks and full cans of water. Bejurve it or not this is unusual. On time arrival into Houston. Great communication when delay was initiated and called my name on overhead to arrange bags. Very unexpected meal vouchers of $15 each. No issues with departure on adjusted timeline. Checked luggage was handled appropriately and arrived at final. I will continue to be loyal although the new baggage fees hurt this time around with vacation. The new boarding worked fine.

I'm loving the total remodel of Houston Hobby airport. It's close to my family so I like flying in. Southwest has been flying here for years. They've added a whole lot more restaurants and services. TSA line moves very quickly and I always have smooth sailing getting in and out of this airport. While the George Washington airport has more flight options this one has the options I need and is always fast and easy.

Southwest out of HOU/Hobby was wonderful! We came in on an international SW flight from Cabo and connected to a domestic flight to Nashville. Both crews were excellent, informative and friendly...especially our crew from HOU to BNA! They were the best crew I've experienced on a Southwest flight to date! Gate crew was solid and efficient as well. Our flights were on time, stayed at the original gates, boarded without issues and got us home on time and safely! The more I fly SW, the more I love them!

Southwest One of the go to's for domestic travel. Some history about Southwest: The name was changed to Southwest Airlines Co. in 1971 when the airline began operating as an intrastate airline within Texas. The name reflects the airline's initial focus on serving cities in the southwestern part of the United States, mainly Texas. If you know, you know. Every time we book a flight, it's like we already winning because somehow, some way... we got a deal. Like always. Straight up, Southwest stays coming through with that perfect balance of seaffordability and comfort, and it's been long overdue for me saying this but it's much appreciated. First off, shout out to the unassigned seats. And listen, two free checked bags? Stop playinnnn Flights are usually smooth, on time, and efficient. Complimentary Snacks and Drink? Yessir. Customer service can be a hit or miss, just depends how the staffs mood are. Just give us our complimentary pretzels, a ginger ale, and keep it pushin'. Southwest is that airline for the people.

Stupid people on the plane.

They make NO accommodations for people with connecting flights. They make it impossible to catch your connecting flight without sprinting to the next gate. They make sure to land at the farthest gate from your connecting flight and then change the gate at the last minute to make you run laps around the fucking airport. Total joke will never fly with them again.

Sloppy dressed flight attendant

Cheap flight Flight attendant looks like she crawled out of a dumpster. A fellow attendant should have alerted her to this fashion faux pas. See picture

For those who always seem to lose their chargers and cords, they have you in the terminal.

This was a nicer experience on Southwest. The flight attendant crew was nice, friendly and attentive. The plane was clean and stocked. The boarding process was seamless. Kudos to Southwest.

I LUV SWA From HOU it is a breeze to travel to see family and friends. MDW. LGA. MSY. MCO. LAS. BHM. FLL. TPA. LUV the Rapid Rewards program. So easy to use points with no black out dates. Take a companion for free with a companion pass. A-list preferred for boarding in the A group. Sign up for their emails to learn about offers like Wanna Go Wednesdays or 50% off birthday specials. If you are not an A-lister, make sure to check in for your boarding pass. The e-checkin starts 24 hours before your flight. Pretzel Plane Snacks included.

GREAT CUSTOMER service

After being BLOWN AWAY by Delta (5-star) on our trip from IAH to ROC, we had American Airlines on…read moreour return trip (2-star). My main "put off" was the old, dirty, worn, "ridden hard and put away wet" planes that we had... especially he ROC to CLT flight. I used the restroom and couldn't believe how gross it was. Parts of the trim were peeling off, just looked overly used and icky. American's planes were like night and day from the crisp, new and flashy Delta planes we had on our flights to Rochester. Then there's the technology or lack there of. Delta had fancy touch screens in each headrest allowing you to watch movies, play games, etc. American Airlines did have free entertainment that you had to access through your phone/tablet but there was an issue with trying to get it. On our last flight, the guy sitting next to me helped me get to the entertainment but after that, HE kept getting kicked off his. He kept trying the entire flight and got so frustrated, he quit trying. (I felt bad bc he helped me and I was able to watch a movie and there he was, struggling the whole time.) I got kicked off once but was able to get back on but it was still annoying. Never had issues with Delta. AA had fold out phone/tablet holders and usb charging ports on our second flight. Meh. No refreshments. Wow. I know airlines are getting stingier and stingier but holy moly! When waiting at the gate in Rochester, the gate attendant states over the loud speaker that they will not be serving any snacks/drinks on the flight and that if you wanted something, you needed to get it in the terminal to bring on the plane!! Whoa! The second flight did offer pretzels and a drink but honestly it was super off-putting to not offer anything on that first flight. I wasn't able to get e-tickets to have on my phone so we didn't have to worry about paper tickets. When I checked myself and my 4 year-old in the day prior, it offered digital tickets if you put in your email. So I put in my email for both me and my son... oh, they can't send them to the same email. So apparently, a 4 year-old needs their own email account to be able to get an e-ticket. SO STRANGE!!! Saw that there was an offer for airline credit in you give up your seat. Was tempting BUT I wasn't wanting to fly with them again anyways and we just wanted to get home. Flight attendants weren't overly friendly but they weren't terrible either. Checked bag cost us $30. All in all, American Airlines was completely different than our Delta experience. I won't seek out AA. We WILL be flying Delta again!!

I'm a pretty loyal and frequent American Airlines flyer, and I have never experienced the severe…read morelack of customer service that I have during this trip from hell. Every single gate agent at the terminals was nasty and unhelpful. Particularly a woman named Shakira, whose hips probably lie like her mouth does. When my flight was rebooked, I asked if she could assign me a new seat she told me straight up to my face that she can't see the Dallas flight she only handles Houston ones. Strangely enough the only helpful woman there WAS able to look it up and even assigned me the seat in the same class I was in on my canceled flight. Shakira's little friend, who knows her name they all had their name tags covered, (I asked Shakira for her name) also treated me with disdain and like she had no time for me, in fact in the middle of our conversation (about my Dallas flight before the other lady stepped in to help) she started other tasks and once she finished those, WALKED AWAY. Walked AWAY. While I've been standing at the counter right in front of her face for at least 20 minutes. When I said to the other woman standing there that had already gone through 4 people behind me that she was helping me and just left... she said oh she must have forgot. She must have forgot? So she helped me and said woman returns she says to her... you forgot about her and she's like "yea she was talking about a voucher yadda yadda yadda" so you didn't like me inquiring about what every single other person is inquiring about when you cancel flights so you choose to ignore me and WALK AWAY?? Fast forward to this morning after having been up for 28 hours now, arrive to the airport to ANOTHER DELAYED FLIGHT. Supposed to leave at 825 now scheduled 905 meaning I will miss a chance for a flight I was first on the standby list for. I now will have a 10 hour layover in Phoenix because it's the best they could get me after the flight delays/cancelations. I said good morning to the gate agent do you know why this flight is delayed? Crew rest. Ok cool can you see if there are any flights out of Phoenix to Reno since I will miss the 10 am one? NO. She will not. Oh ok cool. Thanks for nothing American Airlines workers at IAH.

Chicago to Houston flight, terrible, terrible wheelchair service in Chicago. We arrived at 3:30 am…read morefor a flight leaving at 5:20 am. Everything was going well. An agent helped us with our luggage because there is a weight limit of 40 pounds not 50 like other airlines. I was bringing back luggage I had intended to keep in Chicago but things changed. She helped us with tagging and getting us through the process through our phone to avoid the $25 agent fee. When it came time for my friend to get a wheelchair, we waited an hour and were told to get walking because we would miss our flight. My friend is 73 years old with spinal stenosis. We had to rush to get through security which took forever for her since she wasn't in a wheelchair and I have TSA pre check. She told me she was almost in tears because she didn't know where I was. Needless to say we barely made it to the gate on the other side of the airport where everyone had already started to board. As far as flying everything was great and we got in to Houston early. I would give 5 stars but because of the wheelchair fiasco I won't.

I want to recognize Mr. Jody at the Delta Airlines check-in counter at George Bush Intercontinental…read moreAirport for his exceptional service. My parents do not speak English well, and traveling internationally can be stressful for them. Mr. Jody went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and supported. He patiently helped them with their luggage, clearly explained how the wheelchair service works, and even took the time to walk them through the transit process in Korea. What stood out most was his professionalism and kindness. He remained calm, friendly, and respectful throughout the entire interaction. He did not rush the process and made sure my parents understood everything before moving on. That level of care and attention made a big difference for our family. I truly appreciate his dedication and highly recommend Delta for anyone traveling through IAH.

The flight attendants were gorgeous and nice enough to take a picture with me! I have only traveled to Jamaica internationally as an adult and it was a very good experience to use Emirates. My only 2 complaints are the whole bag weight/fee and when I got on the plane there were two different attendants giving me conflicting information! The whole max 25kg thing (55 LBS) when you are on a military orientated flight was kind of frustrating. Just an FYI it's $50 if you go over. Also, they won't even let you bring the bag on if it is more than 32kg (70 LBS). Your carry on bag must weigh less than 7 KG (15 LBS). They won't let you on the plane if it is more! The flight was long but there are plenty of movies and I didn't buy it but there was wifi I believe. All in all, if you fly Emirates.... Especially first class it is definitely worth it. Make sure you check in early the line gets really long!
