We were impressed with American from check in at the originating airport to getting our luggage in Rome. We loved service before the flight in the Flagship Lounge and on the plane in business class in the lay flat seats. The food was delicious, and the service exemplary in the lounge and on the flight. Eric & Carmen were fantastic flight attendants. We were on time flying into Rome, even though we had a slight delay in Miami. We were kept informed the whole time. This experience with American has motivated me to look at their flights first for upcoming flights in the US and overseas!

Delta's handling of my travel disruption was incredibly disappointing. My original flight from…read moreLaGuardia to Atlanta was cancelled, followed by my rebooked flight to Greenville after I had already spent more than seven hours at the airport. Delta offered no meaningful assistance, and I had to ask an agent to find another option. I was eventually rebooked to Columbia, SC, had to pay for a hotel, modify my rental car reservation, drive 4.5 hours to Atlanta the next morning, and pay additional parking fees. After all of this, Delta's response was to reimburse me $24. That amount doesn't come close to covering the out-of-pocket expenses I incurred, let alone the stress, lost time, and complete lack of customer service. I understand weather can disrupt travel, but how an airline takes care of its customers during those situations is what matters. Delta failed to do that, and their resolution was frankly insulting.

Your job is to apologize for the inconvenience and try to help, not have an attitude, Frontier…read moreAirlines MIA. Yes, I booked through Priceline and prepaid $67 each way for a checked bag. You didn't "see it in your system" so you "couldn't do anything" and charged me another $90! How is that on me when you're company agrees to work with Priceline? As I said it could have been your company's fault for not having the info. You're not above making mistakes or having glitches "in your system" and you should be able to waive fees if proof is shown that it was already paid for, especially if you're a manager. Otherwise what good is a manager? Also, don't argue with a customer and blame them for things out of their control like being unable to check in online or having slow internet in the airport. And don't glare at someone and tell them you can't help them right now when it's a quick, easy request and the person you're talking to says they don't mind if you do it. Not impressed with the MIA staff on Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 1pm. Once on the flight, which was on time, I remembered Frontier doesn't provide entertainment so I was alone with my thoughts for three long hours. The other two good things besides being on time were the smooth landing and good snack box.

I mean, they are the ones who unleashed the hell of nickel and diming for air travel (I mean charging for a checked bag??). They take Randian economics to its most extreme, with different prices between their mobile app and the webpage. Oh and of course, it was hard to make payment thru the mobile app so I ended up being stuck with the higher fee! Their app and website are chock full of annoying advertising to buy extra features that for the longest was basic to what is air travel. But especially in these times, when there's must-take business travel, you have to come through for your clients! After my usual airline canceled my puddle jumper (west coast of Florida) business trip at the end of the day, my company and I had to scramble and thus found Spirit. The terminal itself was fairly clean, and my low rating doesn't speak to the personnel. The gate agents, flight attendants and pilots were courteous and professional (I got there and back in one piece :) Heading there on an early morning flight, I was able to get essentially first class with a seat in the second row. Although my seat was really comfortable, the seat in front looked a little ragged with part of the "bones" of the seat showing. My return flight I had a mid cabin (though still window) seat on a mostly empty flight. These seats were firmer and slightly less comfortable. Oh and they didn't recline. The planes did seem a little noisier than the one I took on American last such trip. I did join the $9 Fare Club if for the understanding of getting what I pay for. Still, just 3 stars for unleashing the virus of a la carte flying :)

Spirit Airlines turns honest mistakes into a profit center…read more I've flown a lot. I understand low-cost carriers, fine print, and trade-offs. What I don't accept is a business model that appears designed to trap customers into accidental purchases and then stonewall them when they immediately try to fix an obvious mistake. On January 26, 2026, I went to Spirit's website to buy a seat and a checked bag. I believed I was purchasing a $69.95 Savers Club seat option. Instead, Spirit quietly charged me for: A seat ($47) A checked bag ($69) A Spirit Savers Club membership ($69.95) This was clearly an error, identified within minutes of purchase. What followed was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. I immediately called Spirit: First call: 17 minutes and 39 seconds on hold, then disconnected. Second call: 18 more minutes, only to be told the agent couldn't help and transferred me again. When I finally reached a representative, I was told I was ineligible for a refund because I had supposedly "used" the Savers Club membership... on the same transaction in which it was mistakenly purchased. Let that sink in. I calmly proposed the most reasonable solution imaginable: Refund the seat, bag, and membership, remove them from my reservation, and I'll immediately repurchase the seat and bag at full price. Spirit refused. Repeatedly. Instead, they tried to push bonus miles and a small credit--completely useless to me, since my employer pays for my travel and does not reimburse memberships. I explained this clearly. More than once. It didn't matter. For over eight minutes, the agent refused to help while I remained polite and cooperative. At one point, I informed them I was recording the call. The behavior didn't improve. This wasn't about policy. This wasn't about fairness. This was about extracting $69.95 from a customer who caught a mistake immediately and tried to resolve it in good faith. Spirit Airlines has mastered the art of hiding behind "policy" to justify behavior that would never fly (pun intended) at a customer-centric company. The experience left me with the clear impression that confusion isn't a bug in their system -- it's a feature. If you value transparency, basic fairness, or customer service that treats you like a human being instead of a revenue opportunity, think very carefully before booking with Spirit Airlines. I certainly will.

Another review for Delta Airlines, this time flying into/from the Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) at…read morethe end of August/beginning of September in 2026. There is one daily flight from/to Los Angeles on Delta, and the times worked a bit better than flying to Miami. Ended up working well as the flight to enjoy the week-long cruise from Miami on the Icon of the Seas. It's about a 5 hour in-air flight between the the two cities, so Delta uses one A321(N) with Miami/FLL flight attendants. I'm guessing it's primary a flight for cruisers, and we followed the standard path. My wife, her mom, and I were traveling from Los Angeles, meeting my brother (who was flying same day from Houston) in Miami. So the three of us planned to come one day early on the 08:20 - 16:17 LAX to FLL direct. The same plane is then used to go back to LAX (17:30 - 19:56), which is what we decided to take for our return on the last day/night (this did mean a 8+ hour wait at the airport, since the cruise ship rooms need to be vacated in the early morning). I ended up booking the 3 round-trip tickets about 4 months early, spending about 34,000 miles per each Classic Main roundtrip ticket (Basic would have been cheaper, but would have meant no chance for upgrade and no entry into the Sky Club). I check regularly to see if the price goes down, and this time it was worth the effort. Two months before the flight, the price went down about $50 each, so was able to redeposit about 5,000 miles each back into my account, all doable via the Delta website. The flight from LAX to FLL was uneventful, with automatic upgrade for the ladies to Comfort+. Free wifi worked well, and got my free Dots pretzels for being a Amex Delta Reserve cardholder. The flight back was not full, so ended up getting upgraded to First Class for my wife and her mom a couple days before the flight (what's nice is then you are able to choose a meal beforehand). My wife upgraded her seat (which I ended up using) from Main to Comfort+ for $49 the day before. I ended up having the row (3 seats) all to myself. The flight left almost 3 hours late, because of lightning storms in the area. There were people on the flight who missed or were about to miss their connection in LA. One person was trying to get to Sydney and would probably miss it (since even if they got there on time, their checked bags would probably not). Later learnt that international flights do not allow checked bags to be flown if the owner is not on that flight. The opposite is allowed however, with the passengers flying without their luggage (a special exception is made for that same luggage to be flown on a later flight to join their owner).

I try to fly Delta as much as possible. When given the opportunity, it is my airline of choice…read more years ago I was medallion level and that's always a nice perk. Now I have the Delta SkyMiles, American Express, which gets you a free checked bag for not only myself, but one other person flying with me. In the day and age of flight travel that's a great perk. Delta is one of the very few airlines that allows all passengers to take a 22" carry-on, and a personal item. Definitely makes traveling a little more comfortable. The flight from flight from Fort Lauderdale to Raleigh was delayed 3 hours. They did notify me via email and text way in advance. Communication from Delta was excellent. The gate agents were nice, they emailed all passengers $12 food vouchers for the delay. I lost my day in Raleigh and the baby behind me cried the whole 2 hours. Some things are out of your control and I'm thankful Apple makes noise cancelling headphones.

The pilots were exceptional going to Rome and returning. We hardly felt the landing in Rome, it was…read moreso smooth. We returned to Miami in a bad storm and they did a great job landing as well. It is not their fault that we couldn't taxi to the gate for another 45 minutes. Honestly, I was just happy to be on the ground. The seats were horribly uncomfortable. I would never pick the same ones again. The middle seats were roomier. I found a way to sleep anyway. The flight out of Miami at 7:00 pm was best because within an hour, they fed us dinner and then I rested. The food is not the best. The ravioli was just okay. I had the meat on the way back and it was somewhat better. I would bring some fresh fruit or some snacks next time. The wine that they provide is very good. I was happy to have a glass of red wine before calling it a night. The return trip seemed so much longer because we were flying for 11 hours in the middle of the day. The flight attendants did their best to take care of us with beverages and snacks. A few movies later and we were on the ground. My only real complaint is that they know it's a long flight. Why not upgrade the seats to have more cushioning. I've been on busses with seats that are more comfortable than the one I sat in.
