Pros: "The service and smooth fly"
Pros: "Service frequently interrupted because of turbulence; they apologized profusely and made sure everyone had what they needed"

Cons: "it was delayed"
Pros: "So friendly and on time. Great!!"
Pros: "Excellent and smooth"

Cons: "Everybody hates peanuts. Please consider providing outlets at the seats so we can charge our devices, and little tvs on the backs of the seats. As-is, $8 for internet on a short flight is dumb and my phone can't last very long playing media anyways."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "No charging ports on airplane"
Pros: "The crew was very nice."
Cons: "I don't like the free for all seat situation. It would be nice if we could pick our seats depending on when we book our flight, etc. The seats are rather tight. If you have wider hips, it will be hard for you to sit in the center seat or on the aisle when the plane is packed. I also wish they sold food on the plane. My total travel time with two flights is almost 6 hours. I always start to crave the protein boxes or healthy food options American Airlines sells on their flights. SW should sell food. They would profit."

Pros: "Comfortable seats and smooth red-eye transcontinental flight."
Cons: "If there weren't a 15-minute delay due to maintenance."

Cons: "Most service good"
Cons: "It is much better now"
Pros: "The only enjoyable thing about my flight was the couple sitting next to me."
Cons: "We weren’t served drinks until nearly 2 hours in. They kept making announcements saying “it’s really turbulent and not safe” but I’ve flown a lot and we barely had any turbulence the entire flight and at no point was it unsafe. When it was calm they were hanging out and taking in the back."
Cons: "flight delayed 4 1/2 hours!"
Pros: "Lots of legroom. I was in the middle seat and was very comfortable. The staff was excellent. Left on time and arrived early! Bags were delivered by the time we got to the carousel."

Cons: "The only thing that I didn’t like about this flight was having to use LAX. I wish I could have caught this flight out of Long Beach!"

Pros: "I liked the drink service and the general boarding process and flight."
Cons: "I did not like that I was not notified that I was in a section where my seat could not lean back during a cross country flight. I also did not like that the only snacks were super sugary cookies. I would have preferred pretzels."

Pros: "Everything was smooth, great service, friendly staff and captain. Arrived ahead of time. Free Wifi. Great inflight entertainment."
Pros: "You can always count on JetBlue for good snacks and free WiFi."
Cons: "But the snacks and free WiFi is not enough to payback the delayed departure experience. Just a week prior, my JetBlue flight was scheduled on time and then three things delayed thre flight for three hours right before we took off and now this! I was told it was due to needing to replace a crew member from another delayed flight. How can that affect so many people? The seat was also super uncomfortable and the back of the cushion was rolling forward, which made it hard to sit for that long. we also didn’t have a gate when we landed so that added on an extra 30minutes. Really disappointed."
Pros: "I always shop on kayak. It's reliable because of the consistant results."
Pros: "Crew was nice. Took off on time."
Cons: "A little wobbly on the landing. Felt like I was going to be sick. Crew could maybe enforce opening up path to the gate a bit more. People that get in the way of those called to board."

Cons: "Crew member was rude"
Pros: "Smooth, great service, free wi fi that really works and lots of free snacks and water which nowadays may seem like a real perk."
Cons: "Everything was great!"
Pros: "The flight itself was fine. Food pricey but good enough. Seats are comfortable. WiFi is intermittent. Cabin crew basically OK."
Cons: "Contradictory and incomplete texts about a 1.25 hour delay in departure time. Text should say to arrive at original time. Almost missed the flight because text did not say that. Got 2 different texts within minutes, one with incorrect info. Why did I have TSA Pre-Check status on the originating flight but not on the return flight? Not enough overhead space, and cabin crew wasn’t helpful in finding space. Flight 30 minutes late, but probably not JetBlue‘s fault."
Cons: "I got to the airport just to find out that the airline cancelled this flight. I had to repurchase an already paid for flight Again! $1019!!"
Pros: "Jetblue can't be beat! They are simply the best."
Pros: "Space n comfort"
Cons: "Delay, staff at airport n on board not the nicest"

Cons: "2 hour delay and gate changes were ridiculous"
Pros: "I have not flown JetBlue in awhile, and am sorry I havent! I was so impressed with the efficiency of boarding and the takeoff. Not to mention, the seat space in economy was AMAZING! Any little extra bit helps! Great prices, efficient, and the flight attendants were so nice and has great attitudes!"
Cons: "Nothing."
Cons: "We were delayed due to mechanical issues"
Cons: "The crew was either rushed, tired or something...not as friendly and that made for a long trip."

Pros: "Everything was perfect!!"
Pros: "Great boarding great snacks great entertainment"
Cons: "Nothing"
Cons: "The ambient lighting used throughout the cabin was too bright and stimulating to let me fall asleep in an overnight flight, should have been dimmed more or turned off. The seats did not help the comfort levels either, should have been able to recline a tad bid more. The carry-on-bag situation is getting out of control, you should crack down on people who bring too many bags or oversized bags that should be checked in instead."
Pros: "we had space and although we left late the crew was very accomodating"
Cons: "Not having anywhere to store my bag, or put a cup or anything. Couldn't stretch out legs under seat in front as usual. Cramped. No warning. Uncomfortable. David Shenk."

Pros: "On time, comfortable flight. Great crew and service."
Cons: "Nothing. Everything was great."
Cons: "Late"
Pros: "The crew was communicative and courteous."
Cons: "There was a flight delay in LAX due to a maintenance issue. The captain and crew informed us before we boarded the plane which was excellent. However, they could not figure out what was wrong with the planed and delayed the boarding for another 3 hours, putting our 1900 departure time to 2100."

Cons: "food options"
Pros: "Crew was friendly, cabin was clean."
Cons: "No Tvs"
Cons: "Friendly crew and lots of good free snacks!"
Cons: "The boarding process at LAX was awful. I’m sure the horrible shuttle wait and transfer from terminal to terminal is the airport’s fault, but the airline did not do anywhere near enough to inform passengers of what was in store. It was confusing and annoying."
Cons: "Delta delayed the flight from LAX to SLC, which subsequently made me miss the connecting flight from SLC to ORD. Completely unacceptable"
Pros: "Arrived on time and smooth flight though it was completely full"
Cons: "Rude to passengers and then went to the back and loudly complained about other passengers. Very unprofessional."
Pros: "I arrived safely."
Cons: "Space on board was horrible. Diffenately not enough room and I'm an average guys."
Cons: "There was nothing I didn’t like."
Cons: "Baggage was delayed overnight. With modern tracking, should have been notified that the luggage was not loaded on the same flight as me, eliminating my wasting 45 minutes at ATL realizing that my baggage was not coming and then having to queue to notify the airline that it had not come."

Cons: "Hour late"

Pros: "Every thing good"
Cons: "That's the flight is clean"
Pros: "The movies were spectacular"
Cons: "Food was a bit plain"
Cons: "Customer service"
Cons: "Due to the earthquakes, the film festival I was going to was cancelled. Ten days prior to the flight I called AeroMexico to cancel and they said there would be a cancellation penalty, which was fine. When I tried to redeem my credit, they said there was also an additional "No-show fee" even though I called to cancel 10 days prior, which left a total of $70 credit after all their penalties. I called and emailed to complain but they did nothing but pass me to someone else who was equally unhelpful. I will never fly AeroMexico for any reason in the future."
Pros: "The gentleman at the gate was super helpful and helped us check our bags at the gate."
Cons: "Zero leg room. Zero arm room. The entertainment system did not function. No food for such a long flight unless you pay more then the food is actually worth."
Cons: "Basic economy has way too many restrictions"
Pros: "Food available was good."
Cons: "Very tight space- could not reach floor when person in front of me moved seat into recline position. Could not get out of seat to go to bathroom when my seat mates were sleeping. Tough to load- tight spaces."
Pros: "Short, straight-forward flight."
Pros: "We were treated very well and it was a short, sweet flight. Nothing to complain about."
Pros: "how short a flight it was!"

Pros: "The crew on Delta create a welcome atmosphere every time I have flown with them."
Pros: "Flight was delayed for over 6 hours. Not an ideal way to spend the day."
Pros: "Availability of flight. Quick flight, on time"
Cons: "Lay over"
Pros: "Delta does a great job overall. We used free skymiles from Amex and it was very much appreciated."
Cons: "Not enough leg room! BS!"
Pros: "Got lucky, and got an upgrade!"
Cons: "Good staff on the plane very sweet like. Actually arrived early. Thought we would get breakfast on the flight from Madison Wisconsin to New York City."
Pros: "On time...great service!"
Cons: "Seats were a bit narrow."
Pros: "crew was very respectful and kind"
Cons: "Flight was moved to a different gate, then delayed. We were given the absolute last seat in the plane that could not recline- not the seats I had selected before hand."
Cons: "Delayed and crews attitude. Also being seated next to someone when the plain is half empty"
Pros: "Short flight time"
Cons: "Delayed for 2 hours due flat tire. They should've checked tires before we boarded. Cabinets were almost full. I had a hard time to put my skateboard and backpack in a cabinet. Attendant didn't help out at all! It took over a minute to figure out to fit my stuff in there like Tetris. One passenger was upset that I took his bag out. It was frustrating when attendant didn't help to store my bag."
Pros: "Delta crew are always attentive."
Cons: "Snack quantity and choices."
Cons: "The fact that seats could not be reserved ahead of time. Having them assigned at the gate is illogical and does not reward the passengers who reserve / check ahead of time. Additionally, it creates unnecessary rush at the gate."
Pros: "The prior flight arrived late and then due to what appeared to be some mechanical issue, the plane was towed into the gate at about the time we were due to board. I mention this only because this was the only glitch during the rest of the flight. Loved the wide variety of entertainment available inflight, the AC outlets on EVERY row, and though I didn't need it this time, the availability of Wi-Fi Internet is appreciated. And though we left 40 minutes late, we made up part of the time and arrived only 20 min later than scheduled. Bravo Delta! I'll have to check out your version of Mileage Plus."
Cons: "I couldn't understand the gate agent's announcements due to language issue but most of all competing announcements from the gate behind me. One of the flight attendents was more bossy I felt than necessary. She told me not to put my backpack in the overhead bin, even though there was enough space and the back 3rd of the aircraft was half empty (I was in the last loading zone so there weren't many more people after me)."
Pros: "Again, despite poor flight schedule I made it on my connecting flight and it all worked out in the end."
Cons: "Again, Kayak should allow at least 2 hours of transfer time when booking flights through LAX. I had to go from one terminal to another AND go through immigration and security. In order to make sure I had enough time to make the connecting flight, I didn't check in my luggage which lead to me having to minimize liquids and pastes in my luggage (no vanilla extract or tequila). Also while making the transfer I felt rushed and stressed out. I might search for tickets using Kayak but I would not buy tickets directly from Kayak if my route involves a transfer at an airport that I am not familiar with."
Pros: "The crew were friendly and professional!"
Cons: "prob nothing more with in reason , could have been done - how do you eliminate fellow stupid humans ?"
Pros: "The crew were awesome! Was comfortable"
Cons: "The USB ports were not charging"
Pros: "Crew was professional, effective communicators."
Cons: "No complimentary snacks offered. BYO entertainment."
Pros: "Head cushion on seat"
Cons: "Customer service needs to be worked on. From ticketing to flight attendants. Poor service"
Pros: "I like the price of the ticket."
Cons: "Seats were uncomfortable, staff looked like they rolled out of bed, we didn’t get any snacks only one small cup of juice for the entire flight, landing was a bit harsh. I don’t know if I’ll ever go through Sun Country again."
Pros: "More seat room than usual—very nice. Seems like a new plane."
Cons: "If the people boarding the plane had been more considerate! Some of them blocked the aisle for quite a while. The crew asked them to step out of the way, but they weren’t very responsive"
Cons: "Add in seat screen for entertainment"
Cons: "Entertainment app/WiFi was down. Apparently a know issue on this plane for over a week. Staff didn’t announce, you had to ask."
Pros: "Our flight was delayed over 2 hours and there was ZERO notification from the airline - we found out once we were at our original gate. Paid substantial amount to check bags and for seat assignment......after choosing seats when flight was booked online! Crew and flight were fine but will not fly Sun Country again. Too much hidden BS!"
Cons: "See above"
Pros: "More leg room than typical coach. Allows a bag up to 50 lbs, not 40 like spirit. Much more doable"
Cons: "Didn’t offer complimentary snacks like peanuts or pretzels, only for purchase. Baggage fees are ridiculous! WTH is happening with fees at every point of your travel. Outrageous"
Pros: "Stewardess Alisa was very attentive. She realized my disability and did all she could do to accommodate me."
Cons: "Seats too small."
Cons: "Very rude ticket counter. They wouldn’t allow me to to board even though I showed up an hour, twenty minutes before take-off at their online POSTED terminal BUT they’ve moved (unfortunately no update on their web site). By the time I managed to get from terminal #2 to #5 (around LAX on a busy morning), a half hour later, the counter help wouldn’t even consider issuing me a boarding pass!"
Pros: "If you’re not looking for a super boujie experience while flying this is a great choice for you. It’s quick and simple and I had no problems at all! This was my first time flying alone and I am so happy with how it turned out :)"
Pros: "It was fast and had nice crew members."
Cons: "There wasn’t much leg room on the plane, so it was hard to get comfortable."
Pros: "NA"
Cons: "The flight was delayed by 2 hours and I could not reach MSP ontime due to which my career has had an negative performance impact. I am unhappy about the flight delay"
Cons: "all ok"
Cons: "We were an hour late taking off because the pilot waited for a late passenger causing us to miss the take off firm which I feel was unfair to the entire plane who all boarded on time."
Pros: "NOTHING"
Cons: "When I checked in prior to flight, the staff person asked me if I wanted an exit seat. I asked if it is roomier than Sun Country's regular seating since I feel their regular seats are very roomy. She said yes and that they are very comforable. When I got to my seat, I found out that they do not recline. DO NOT FN RECLINE. The lady forgot to tell me that. With lower back pain, I was extremely uncomfortable, in fact I could ot sit still. Horrible flight. THe stewardess could not help me, they said flight was full. I told them of my back pain, they didnt care, nothing we can do. THen I asked for a pillow and blanket so I can support my head. I was told there was a fee for a pillow and blanket.??????? I said ok since I was looking for relief, and comfort. She came back saying she was sold out. WTF"
Pros: "I needed wheelchair assistance and they helped us quicky and directly to get thru the people to get on the plane thanks again"
Cons: "Small seats"
Cons: "I've flown twice with Sun Counrey and both times I was late in arriving by Two hours! That's a lot!"
Cons: "A lot of delays but they handled accordingly - weather is out of their control"
Pros: "Polite and efficient"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Found an an amazing deal on Sun Country through Kayak. Easy purchase and confirmation process. Will definitely use Kayak again."
Pros: "The staff seemed to be friendly."
Cons: "Everything else was horrible."
Pros: "picking my aisle seat ease of boarding soda options"
Cons: "no free snack"
Pros: "Great flight great airline. I have always had a good Experience"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything was awful about this travel experience. I was delayed all day and my flight from MSP to JFK took almost 8 hours. They delays were due to weather which I can understand but there was absolutely no communication from the airline and had everyone including myself extremely frustrated. We landed in Stewart, NY with no warning or information. Was a nightmare."
Pros: "Check in was easy & fast! We were pre checked & that was lovely being that it was the day before Thanksgiving. The staff on both flights were delightful & pleasent!"
Pros: "I changed my flight because of an emergency to the next day with no charge because of a "one time courtesy." So amazing and so thankful for that."
Pros: "Crew was amazing and super helpful. Flight was very comfortable and spacious."
Pros: "Everything was great!"
Cons: "The temp in the plane on the return flight was 55 degrees and freezing but they eventually turned the heat on. That was strange."
Pros: "Sun Country is the best airline in the world -"
Pros: "Good prices, good friendly crew, arrived at least a 1/2 hour earlier than we were supposed to..overall excellent"
Cons: "Better snack selection other than that it was an excellent experience"
Pros: "I am a large woman and they were so kind in helping me with those embarrassing issues like needing an extender descretely. The ladies were professional and personal. I really appreciated them."
Cons: "As a general idea for Sun country maybe have a Google map up to see where we are. Maybe it's a bad idea but I love looking out the window and knowing."
Pros: "The flight was fine. Uneventful which is wonderful. I did not eat & did not utilize the entertainment so can not comment on those items."
Cons: "My only comment is that a child was using an electronic device during the flight without headphones. It would have been appreciated if the attendants could have suggested earbuds, headphones, or at least asked that the volume be decreased out of respect for other passengers."
Pros: "Excellent price and it wasn't over booked. The flight had no food so I can't give it a 5star rating (sorry)...."
Pros: "Their alcoholic options are much better than Delta. The flight from LAX to MSP was quite smooth, only a couple instances of turbulence."
Cons: "My known traveler number did not sync with my ticket, so I couldn't go in the TSA pre check line."
Pros: "clean plane and legroom good, esp. for tall person."
Cons: "On return flight, gates changed without any announcement. About 1/2 hour before return flight boarded they announced there would be no bathrooms on flight available. This would have been prohibitive for me flying that flight. Situation was rectified and they got two bathrooms working but it caused a great deal of undue stress. Is flying without facilities even legal?"
Pros: "Nothing"
Pros: "I was unable to use the ticket from LAX to MSP due to a death in my family!. I had to book another earlier flight with another airline to get home to a funeral. Unfortunately, Sun Country didn't have a flight back to MSP the day / time I needed. When I contacted the regarding my cancelation they refunded my money, no questions asked!"
Cons: "Had to CALL airline to get seat assignment. No was to check in online otherwise."
Pros: "It started with the crew at the desk being very helpful, attentive when we came to check in. And both times, coming and going, they were this way...and friendly. This sets the tone for the rest of the trip."
Pros: "We were able to board first as mom was in a wheel chair"
Cons: "Everything was weighted in favor of passengers. Very nice"
Pros: "Short lines and prompt check-in. Flights took off and landed on time. Lots of young kids but generally quiet. "Budget" airlines like Sun Country and Southwest have separate Humphrey terminal but it is less crowded and easy to navigate."
Cons: "Staff managed to spend almost the whole trip passing out drinks/snacks. Like, does it really take 3.5 hours to do that? Maybe it does. Announcements were informal - really felt like we were on a training flight. Staff wasn't helping people with bags or to find their seats like other airlines do. Maybe this more relaxed atmosphere is why the prices are lower? If so, that's fine with me - but doesn't seem like you're gunning to attract more business or be anything other than the airline in between the disgusting model of Spirit and the lame cost-cutting of major airlines. Like, innovation is only possible via dissension, and I'm sure your business is having the same troubles with idiot senior leaders as every other US corporate business is, but if you're going to ask for feedback, the feedback is stop being so blah and stand for something other than your Board. Plenty of ideas out there - stop being so pro-short term profit and start having some fun!"
Pros: "Crew, on time, wheelchair service"
Cons: "Cramped seating, food"
Pros: "Friendly crew"
Cons: "Late arrival. Circling MSP due to weather"
Pros: "The luggage fee is reasonable. The flight was on-time. Spacious seat."
Cons: "The luggage fee is cheaper when paid on-line, but when I tried to pay on-line, an error message popped up. I ended up paying at the registered desk which is $10 more."
Pros: "the pilot seemed very nice and had a good sense of humor."
Cons: "It took a long time to get through ticketing as the line was long and there was only one person for the "non elite" passengers. The crew seemed nice except for one woman who seemed grumpy Overall excellent value for the flight. Thank you"
