    At least we never got a chance to board this dangerous flaming plane !
    Alan C.

    Flying back home to SF on a clear Tuesday AM. Arrived early and waiting at the gate in concourse B when we notice some commotion look out the window and our airplane has burst into flames ! Yes,....flames were pouring out the back end of the parked airplane as they were loading our bags and preparing to start loading passengers ! Fire engines and firefighters swarmed the plane as we sat horrified that a few hours later that could have been us in the air ! We had that happen to us a few years ago on a flight from Newark, NJ to SF and glad this one happened before we took off. Customer service has been ZERO. Left to fend for ourselves on an app. Had to ask for help re luggage and still waiting to hear from the operator who put me on infinite hold via the 1K number ! Boy they really don't want returning business anymore ! Horrific service, old planes that spontaneously combust on the tarmac and not a word of apologies or understanding. Went to the UA Lounge for help w my ticket and since I haven't renewed my membership this year (tired of bad service and prepackaged food) was treated like dirt by the desk staff. 1K means nothing anymore. We will increasingly take our business elsewhere - friendly skies my ass ! Try another airline....

    Back in the day, I used to fly a lot on United, traveling with them primarily to Chicago, LA, Dulles, and various Asian cities. However, with the rise of airlines such as Jetblue and Virgin America, along with choosing other airlines for international flights, I've considered United as a secondary option, even though I had quite a few miles with the legacy carrier. My past experiences were mixed, though nothing as horrific as my experiences with Delta. Long story short: Delta made me spend Christmas eve at JFK (the horror!) and ALL Christmas on the plane. I recently had to fly with United and it was the first time since the United Continental merger. So yeah, it's been a while. It's nice to see the airline having a newly-built modern terminal with more organized and roomy gates for boarding. The plane I took was clearly a Continental holdover and so was its crew (I'm guessing they were from the old Houston hub). So I don't want to give full credit to United. The ride was okay, though bumpy throughout. The service was rather nice, as the flight attendants were polite and professional, which is all I require. Having electrical outlets with every seat was a pleasant bonus. The shock for me during my ride, more than the turbulence endured, was the fact that you had to pay to watch television, not just movies. Having flown Jetblue and Virgin a lot the past several years, I took that privilege for granted. Lastly, the legroom was lacking in comparison to the two other mentioned airlines. I checked-in for a boarding pass online, I didn't check-in a bag, and I had my boarding pass on my phone app, so I limited my interaction with ground staff to almost zero, which was likely good for all parties concerned. United is still a secondary option for me, but my experience wasn't as bad as I previously feared.

    After yearssssssssssss of being afraid to take a Spirit Flight, I finally did it. When I say, all…read moreof the horror stories I have heard and seen on social media were NOT my experience. The Spirit Airlines website was super easy to navigate. I got on, created my account, booked my flights, and was all set within a matter of minutes. The confirmation provided all the details for my flight and my gmail was able to pull the details and add it to my calendar. 24 hours before my flight, the check-in reminder came and the checking process was super easy. I didn't have any changes or additions so I was checked in within a minute. Arriving at the gate was vibrant as the Spirit Airlines yellow set the tone for the area. The lines were long but the staff was smiling and friendly. As it came time to board, I was a part of Group 5 which is the bulk of flyers. Though the line was about 3 gates long, the Spirit Airlines staff had an efficient process for getting us out the gate area and onto the aircraft. Of course you can't do anything about the people who hold up the line, but the Spirit Airlines gate agents even had a process for them to step to the side. Woo Hoo! Once on board, the plane is standard size, and the seats aren't as tight as I have heard. I'm 6' 3" and though I didn't have ample space, I didn't feel like I was being crushed either. The seats don't have as much cushion as some of the other airlines, however, my butt didn't start to hurt until I was 2.5hrs into my 3hr flight, so I was good. The Spirit Airlines Flight Attendants are unique in style esthetic, however, their service was industry standard and they always appeared with a smile. As you pay for everything on the flight, the process of purchasing is easy and swift. The pilot was professional and ensured we had a smooth flight into the Boston area. He kept us abreast of weather changes, altitude changes, and gave us ample time to prepare for landing. I deplaned without incident and went on about my day. My return flight to Atlanta was the same experience quality. Coming back, I did add a carry-on ($70) and it was easy to add it during my check in process. Once at Logan, the kiosk was unable to scan my boarding pass, however the ticketing attendant put in my confirmation number and I was good to go. I tagged my bag, headed to the counter, dropped it off, and was on my way to security within 3 minutes. Thank you Spirit Airlines for the safe trip and streamlined standard operating procedures. You and the staff are appreciated.

They dont start collecting checked bags until 2 hours prior to departure. The employees dont speak fluent or proficient english. This is in Boston Mass. Get one person who can speak fluent English. Check in took an hour and 7 minutes. We were 12th in line. It was like it was each agents first day living life. When we finally got up the woman was rude and vile and set a bad tone. I had our passports and bags all ready. Obviously she woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Don't take it out on my family and I. Cabin crew are decent but the bathroom going to and from dublin on the planes was absolutely disgusting. I flew in a seat next to it. They did not even clean it. It smelled awful. There was trash under the seats. Aer lingus also does not dispatch staff to the terminal until its time to board. So you cant even ask them a question. Not like they speak any English. Seriously the app said the plane was boarding at Leeds Bradford. But the terminal display said delayed. Couldn't even ask a human what one was correct. Upon returning they lost my luggage. I went to complain and was told in broken English to fill out a report via qr code. Federal law states im entitled to fill it out in person. 7 days ive been without my luggage.

The first leg out of Chicago was inexplicably delayed for over 2 hours which caused us to miss our connecting flight in Dublin into Paris and as a result it added 3 more hours to our trip. On the way back, our flights was once again delayed, which caused us to miss our connecting flight in Dublin once again. This time they put us on a whole new flight but forgot to add our luggage. Our luggage sat in Dublin for a day and we ended up getting them back 3 days after our arrival after several phone calls where no one seemed to be able to answer a simple question, when do we get our luggage? While the experience of flying the airline was bad enough, I was more bothered by the nonchalant and cavalier way they airline dealt with the delays and the lost luggage. I don't know if this is a cultural thing, but they seems totally unbothered. No one ever apologized for the delays, added travel time, missing connecting flights and the lost luggage. Not once they offered anything complimentary or a voucher. It was mostly an "oh well" and a shrug of the shoulders. I've traveled a lot and I am aware that the travel experience has gone down the tubes in recent years, but this is not some low cost budget airline like Ryanair and they should do better.

This is a unique service offered only on the A321T and offered only from Boston to LAX, JFK to LAX, and JFK to SFO and JFK to SNA. The A321T is uniquely configured with Flagship First, Flagship Business, and economy. The amenities and seating in the premium cabins is much more akin to a widebody aircraft with lie-flat seating offered in first and business and seatback screens throughout the aircraft. Sadly, these aircraft will soon be retired as AA moves toward eliminating Flagship First systemwide. The seating in first is 1-1 which offers a lot of privacy. The seatback screen is large and high definition with a wide selection of movies and other entertainment options. Noise cancelling B&O headsets are also distributed. The meal service in first is enhanced versus what is offered in business including higher end touches on the meal tray like individual salt and pepper shakers and a metal napkin holder. There is also actual champagne in first versus prosecco in business. There is also a soup course in first which is not offered in business. The flight attendant was great and offered an attentive and premium service. Baked on board cookies are also offered prior to arrival. Overall, this was a great transcon flight on AA. Sadly, it's the exception and not the rule as service and amenities on other AA flights leaves a lot to be desired.

Don't fall into this trap. American Airlines is unequivocally the absolute worst airline available (yes even worse than Frontier - at least then you get what you pay for). This week I made the terribly misguided decision to book an American flight from PVD to DCA. The flight was at 7pm and was quickly delayed until midnight (I had anticipated this would happen given I was flying AA so not a surprise). What I didn't account for was a full flight cancellation despite the weather situation in DC clearing up at 8 pm (well before our flight was supposed to depart). I was still unfazed, however, since I had recalled similar experiences prior. After painful dealings with customer service I was finally able to rebook on the 6 am flight the next morning (this is at 10 pm the night before mind you). Though this was all a major inconvenience to me (my entire schedule for the following day was thrown out the window along with those of the people I was supposed to be meeting), I didn't expect much more from AA. The real shock came at around midnight (4 hours before I was going to wake up for my 6 am flight) when my morning flight was cancelled. I have to admit, this caught me by surprise - I figured that even for an abhorrent airline like American they would have some level of decency in servicing their customers. Alas, I was wrong. Cancelling a NEXT DAY flight 4 hours before boarding is well within the bounds of normal business operations for AA because coordinating an aircraft from an airport that hasn't had problematic weather for 12 hours prior to the new scheduled departure is just too much to ask for from a global carrier. I have now lost an entire day of my planned vacation along with the added inconvenience and expense associated with trying to find a place to work and eat tomorrow all while wondering if my flight will actually take off within 24 hours after it was scheduled to. Let this be a lesson for all of you and my future self - never ever, under any circumstances, fly American Airlines. They are truly terrible (which, by the way, is why they are being run out of business by United and Delta - two carriers who understand the value of actually being reliable and treating customers with care)

My husband and I could hear nothing of this important information, because it was quite loud as the door was still open. Once the door closed, I called from the back that we hadn't been able to hear anything he said. His response was surprisingly dismissive. My recommendation is that pilots wait until the door closes before their important review of safety and emergency information. Now, the pilot on our return flight (Friday, May 15, 7 a.m.) did just that. He was the best! ******* I still give Cape Air four stars, because it provides a helpful service, even if the little planes are extraordinarily loud and rickety and terrifying.
