Cons: "Gate agents consistently telling paxs to SIT DOWN if their boarding group hasn’t been called yet."

Cons: "Plane was old and could have been cleaner"

Pros: "Seats were very spacious and comfortable."

Pros: "The Agents at the counter in the terminal gate were courteous."

Cons: "My flight was delayed because an attendant had to be swapped out, then the replacement was stuck in traffic for an hour (why not have all attendants ready on-airport?). Comically, we taxied on the runway for over an hour, which caused more delays with the plane needing to be de-iced. Figured I'd put all that behind me, but then the flight experienced one of the worst turbulences I've been in. We jerked through the skies many times, and the pilots weren't reassuring. Thankfully we landed okay, but not after being late by multiple hours. Also, JetBlue needs to invest in its planes, esp. its Couch section. I felt like a pretzel with on room to breathe."

Cons: "We waited at least 8 hours in the delay and I wasn’t texted early enough to plan ahead. We waited in the airport and then we waited on the turnpike before take-off."

Pros: "They have hot towels and unlimited snacks"

Cons: "The crew on this particular flight was rude and one flight attendant in particular waddled so her hips hit everyone on the aisle seats and I'm not here to bump and grind with middle aged women. The inflight entertainment kept having issues and it was turbulent for most of the flight."

Cons: "One Flight attendant grouchy and tense"

Pros: "Captain ended up being a good pilot with a very smooth landing,"

Cons: "Our flight was delayed 2 hours because the crew was comprised of members from flights delayed by the snowstorm. Even though gate attendants knew they were on their way, attendants refused to let us board until the crew was all on board. Then we had to wait some more....... Also they were lax on pre-boarding announcements, not letting families with children on first. And waiting until each group was fully boarded before announcing the next. Plus the enunciation of various announcements was difficult to understand and/or way too fast. It wasn't funny."

Pros: "It stinks when you plan on the TVs, but they all don't work."

Cons: "It stinks when you plan on the TVs, but they all don't work."

Pros: "The Jetblue lounge at JFK.. and the TV was pretty nice"

Cons: "To start, the plane was delayed due to inflight crew getting in late which is fine.. but our departure time never updated and the attendants were transparent but never mentioned a new time. After onboarding we got stuck on the tarmac due to traffic. Flight took off with turbulence to start and finally after 45 mins we got bottles of water. I asked crew if they would come around with more... I was starving and also have the perk of free alcoholic beverages in flight. I was offered neither and we only received chips 1+ hour into the flight. One of our TVs broke and the crew wasn’t helpful in an alternative... Overall worst Jetblue exp I’ve had to date, and I’ve flown with them a lot due to my Mosaic status.."

Cons: "Was delayed almost 4 hours and I lost a meeting that I had in Boston"

Pros: "L'espace dans l'avion - c'est la 1ère fois que j'en ai autant en classe éco ! Le personnel de bord, vraiment adorable, drôle et à l'écoute"

Cons: "Pas de distraction et collation limitée. Mais c'est vraiment un détail !"

Cons: "When I arrived at JFK after 14 hours long flight on Emirates, the service counter was understaffed with 1 hour long lines! Un-acceptable! Especially, since all I needed is to re-print my boarding pass, because US TSA would not accept the boarding pass printed by Emirates in India. The kiosk would not recognize my name on reservation! The kiosk did not recognize my recently issued US passport! Bloody annoying! Only able to print the pass after keying reservation code - yet, again not acceptable! The other, earlier attempts should have recognized me and found my reservation! Very upset with quality of service on the ground!"

Pros: "The atmosphere was just right for flying except when I entered the Aircraft I was totally turned off when I encountered a woman and her child and her carry-on pieces was already established in my seat 2A. She did move when I requested but what got me annoyed she had me locked in my seat because all her belongings remained in the passage way making it difficult to make my way to the restroom. IN MY OPINION THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. I had every reason to suspect that she is known to the captain because he came to greet her. ERROLD"

Cons: "NO EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON ENSURING THAT SAFETY IS CARRIED OUT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TRAVELLING EXPERIENCES ON A VARIETY OF AIRLINES AND THIS WAS THE WORST FOR SAFETY. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO MAKE USE OF THE RESTROOM AND HAD TO BE USING MY ATHELETIC SKILS TO GET BY. THIS REALLY SPOILT MY FLIGHT. MY FLIGHT # WAS 881 TO ST. LUCIA SEAT 2A. SAFETY SHOULD NEVER BE COMPROMISED EVEN IF FRIENDSHIP IS INVOLVED."

Pros: "Cabin crew were great at looking after us and we had plenty of legroom in coach!"

Cons: "The entertainment selection was a bit limited and there was no wi-fi."

Pros: "Unpleasant. I requested some water, it arrived far too late. I stated I had diarrhea. The staff stated “Take your seat.” I stated I was under a doctors care for some injuries, I needed to be able to stretch my hip.” Once again the staff stated “take your seat.” The staff was rude, condescending, seemed annoyed and angry with having to do their job. I declare under penalty of perjury the formentioned is true and correct under the laws of the state of California. Karen Schuber"

Pros: "The crew was great, and so was a JetBlue pilot dead-heading in the seat next to me. I liked the space in the MoreSpace seat I paid for. I relieved that the upgrade seat came with boarding in the first group. Some airlines you pay for the seat, but you're still group 3 or 4 and, meaning all sorts of anxiety about the most miserable part of any flight, the dreaded fight for the overhead bins, wondering it you'll have to check the bag and then wait for it at the destination. Thank you for removing that."

Pros: "Seating is spacious, food was okay, entertainment was sufficient but not the best. Overall I was impressed with Jet Blue and will most likely fly with them again in future."

Cons: "Didn't like a huge argument taking place between one family which held the flight up by at least 30 minutes. The crew were very patient with this family, but the passengers were not. I think the family should have been removed and asked to take another flight so that my flight could leave on time. It made everyone very nervous because we didn't know to what extent this conflict would escalate, so we had to sit listening to 3 or 4 members of the family arguing and constantly removing passports from luggage and going back and forth in and out of the plane. One member of this family actually entered the cockpit, which unnerved me because of the risks with terrorists these days. The family appeared to be of muslim descent."

Cons: "I was delayed half a dozen times, only to be canceled. Rescheduled on a flight that was scheduled to depart two hours before the original flight. Rescheduled after an hour hold. That flight was delayed the following day. Was diverted to Baltimore only to find out only some of us on our flight are getting out by a rude agent. Then no information at all. Had to run to catch an amtrak. Later found out if I stayed I would have stayed another 13 hours in Baltimore. Missed work and had no one home to take care of my family. Oh, and travel insurance will not cover anything. The plane itself was falling apart. Seat was broken and dirty. Everyones lights were broken and it smelled."

Pros: "Literally the worst flight I’ve ever been on in my life."

Cons: "We were seated behind a woman who brought a sick cat into the flight. The stench of cat feces was overwhelming. When we addressed it with the staff, they were incredibly rude. I also shared that I had a very significant cat allergy. The staff continued to be incredibly rude, and eventually offered a single seat in the back, which would not accommodate the two of us. The woman next to us also expressed her extreme discomfort and was condescended and disrespected, as well. Shocking, miserable experience."

Pros: "The entertament options from new releases to tv shows was good .."

Cons: "The staff was disorganized and seemed a bit frantic at one point they announce a need for a doctor on board .. we where never told that the passanger was allright .. There was a chilld who sat behind me that kick my chair the entire time and stuck his hands in between which where sticky in between the seat over and over again grabbing me he was loud and sick with what seem to be a cold and kept touching me though the seat would not listen to the adult that was with him i understand that he is a child but this went on the entire flight which was over five hours my back is still not ok .. snacks where serve late into the filght once.. staff was not friendly..."

Cons: "It was the worse flight of my life. There were a big gap of delay. I lost my pick up cab in New York. I was very tired due to the long delay."

Pros: "Very responsive crew who kept us well informed of conditions during our delay. They worked really hard to keep everyone informed and did everything in their power to get people where they needed to go."

Pros: "It was on time and hassle free.The crew was great."

Pros: "The crew was nice and the boarding was efficient"

Cons: "The flight was over an hour delayed in reality, but we were only told it would be 30 minutes late. We then waited on the runway for a very long time, which wasn’t incorporated into the information we were given. This made me miss a dinner reservation in buffalo."

Pros: "Food was really good, but the cabin crew were up to JetBlue's normal outstanding service"

Cons: "The range of movies is still pretty poor (if you're a frequent JetBlue traveller)"

Pros: "Virtually nothing."

Cons: "Direct TV didn't work -- provided only one station, with a constant scroll across the bottom of the screen promoting the imminent start of movies that we're impossible to access. And even this one station would disappear from time to time. None of the seat-mounted controls worked -- including channel, volume, brightness, and music. And you couldn't even turn the damned thing off so it glowed in your face all through the overnight flight. In short, a terribly boring 6.5 hours aloft in terribly uncomfortable seats."

Pros: "We boarded right on time and the boarding process was smooth."

Cons: "Our flight was delayed three hours because of air conditioning malfunctioning on the plane. We sat on the tarmac for almost two and a half hours, and it must have been around 85 degrees on the plane. There was a lot of miscommunication about whether we would be switching aircraft. They finally told us to deplane because we were probably going to switch planes. After 15 minutes in the terminal, we reboarded the same plane. Got to LA 3 hours late so had to deal with horrible rush hour traffic, which we had hoped to avoid had we taken off on time."

Pros: "The convenience of landing and being so close to home. Only wished there were more flights avail with better times."

Cons: "1) The time of this flight is a bit much. I understand that it is close to my home but I know if Jet Blue adds 1 or 2 more flights, they would totally get booked up. The leaving JFK at almost midnight and then the time difference is horrible. 2)This flight had a child that got sick and we were delayed about 40-45 mins. Totally worth it but it made for an even harder time getting in at almost 630am PR time. 3) The turbulence was horrible. We were warned but so many customers were getting sick. Its was unpleasant to say the least."

Cons: "Unable to turn off the movie screening"

Pros: "Lots of leg room and good entertainment."

Pros: "Thant is was on time..."

Cons: "Pilot decended to fast and there was a lot of turbulence..took 2 hrs flew too high and very slow as opposed to going to NY pilot flew low and fast no problems and got to New York quick and easy..."

Cons: "Flight was delayed over 5 hrs. Not the airline's fault but waited in the help line for over an hr before the agent told me there was no earlier flight I could be placed on - she was incorrect. Pointed out that there was another flight that had also been delayed and therefore hadn't left yet - she agreed, put me on standby. At the gate, the boarding crew did not know what they were doing. The plane was 20% empty but crew made situation very hectic by giving standby passengers seats, taking them away, and then realizing there was actually enough room on the plane. Crew was friendly but incompetent in terms of problem solving."

Cons: "TSA held me up with a 30 minute bag check so I arrived for an 11:30 AM flight at 11:16 AM. I was told that because I was a minute late they wouldn't let me on even though the plane was still in the runway and connected to the terminal. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the agent disappeared for 10 minutes while the plane took off. I then went to go speak to a customer service agent who wouldn't even look at me while I spoke. She actually started listening to and talking with another agent while I was talking to her. Then when I was finished, she started arguing with me until another agent said "he's not worth it." JetBlue just lost my business."

Pros: "Jet Blue is always a great experience due in great part to your staff! I was running late. They accommodated. The flight was late but the checkin crew was stellar and kept us informed and in a great mood. Then the flight crew took it from there and they were, as always, true professionals. Thank you!"

Cons: "They don't have free meal services and they ran out of the meals you can purchase, we weren't pleased"

Pros: "We got to our final destination."

Cons: "We needed to wait for "just a few minutes." The Captain said. Then, no other communication at all and we left over an hour late for a 45-minute flight, no explanation. I hate when they leave you in the dark and aren't upfront. The connection from Emirates to JetBlue we had was almost impossible. Two healthy adults, arriving on time in NYC with two hours to make a connection. With walking as fast as possible and not even going to the bathroom, we barely made the flight. Customs. Change terminals. Go through security again. ridiculous."

Cons: "I have never had so much trouble with a website/app as with JetBlue for this trip. Checking in was super stressful, since it was a short layover and I had to go through customs. There were few employees to help when I couldn't print my boarding pass, and when I handed my already checked bag off (it was checked through) without a boarding pass the JetBlue employee was extremely passive aggressive and acted like it was somehow my fault I hadn't been able to get it printed and there had been no one around to ask. The flight crew was highly professional and the flight was good, but I was pretty disappointed by customer service on the ground."

Pros: "The people who worked there were professional. The other passengers were nice."

Cons: "The seats, even the upgraded ones, didn't recline sufficiently to let my head drop back. This meant that for a period of four plus hours, I was stuck in an incredibly uncomfortable sitting position -- tilted slightly forward, via the placement of my head. And it also meant that the only way to try to sleep was by pitching forward over the tray, hunched forward in a way that didn't allow me to breathe fully. I tried slouching down, and it didn't help. The way that the lumbar was positioned also pushed me forward. The pillows were too small to lift my head much off the tray. Perhaps it's my height and weight. If I was shorter or taller or thinner, my options might have increased. Regardless, if the airlines are going to squish us together, they might consider how to give us some flexibility with regards to placement of back rests, like we have in cars -- adjustment of lumbar curve."

Pros: "I liked the spacious seating of course"

Cons: "I was disappointed in the boarding, I traveled with my young daughter and infant son and when they announced those who require additional time, handicap assistance,etc I proceeded to board then all these other folks also jumped up skipping me and my children when it was not their turn. And the gate people allowed them to do so I had to be the one to say excuse me we were here 1st. On top of that when we landed back in NY I heard my stroller get tossed and discovered when I got home it was broke. So upset!!!"

Pros: "There was no food or entertainment options so should have a N/A option"

Pros: "Good boarding process. Comfortable seats with decent leg space."

Pros: "Nice plane. Could have used a plug."

Cons: "The food was ok. But worse than the food I had on the way to the us. I didn't get all of my boarding passes in NYC so I had to go get them in Orlando which ment changing airport terminal to get to the LAtam desk and back doing 1 hour and a half of TSA security check..."

It was the smoothest flight ever! Even though it was the tiniest plane.

Cons: "Everything was great!"

Pros: "The crew was very professional and accommodating"

Cons: "TVs on plane were not working...food was cold."

Pros: "Fly on time, nice food."

Pros: "Nicer plane than the one we flew from San Francisco to San Salvador"

Pros: "- Plane seats were comfortable - Inflight entertainment - Friendly airline attendants"

Pros: "The way they are with the passengers"

Cons: "Not enough space between the seats in front of me"

Pros: "The blanket, pillow, headphones and food."

Pros: "Nothing. Airlines changed the flight time for connecting flight with out informing us. Whole reason, I booked a earlier flight so I can get to spend time in Lima but Avianca airlines changed the connecting flight from Bogata from 125pm flight to 330pm flight. I paid additional $250/ticket to get these tickets so I can get to Lima earlier than 7pmso that my wife and I can enjoy our honeymoon. I am very disappointed that airlines decided to switch flights without our approval. We did reach to Bogota at 1155am and we even tried to catch the 125pm flight from Bogota to Lima. but the staff was not helpful at all. All they kept on saying, “sorry nothing can be done, go file a complain”. Are you kidding me by saying that to your client, “go file a complaint”, instead of assisting. I guess Avianca airlines crew needs to learn about hospitality and customer service. NO AIRLINE MAKES Involuntary CHANGES with out notifying customers. Even on United Airlines, they don’t change flights with out informing customers."

Pros: "Food. Blankets. No delays."

Pros: "very nice experience nice flight food and beverages"

Pros: "The personal in the counter are very professional."

Pros: "Connections very easy. Flight arrived early. In-flight service exceptional."

Pros: "The outstanding service that this airline always provide"

Cons: "The seat were a bit uncomfortable"

Pros: "Everything was perfect !!!"

Cons: "They keep canceling our flight"

Pros: "Food. As usual with avianca was amazing."

Cons: "The staff. Completely unprofessional. Flying executive from SJO to JFK with the Costa Rican staff was amazing. This one compared, was deplorable."

Pros: "comfort crew entertainment passable for the age of the plane clean quick boarding"

Cons: "not enough food.............................................."

Pros: "The crew was very polite. The airplanes are comfortable"

Cons: "They changed my original itinerary and the flights were delayed."

Pros: "The trip was on time, plane was clean, crew was nice, duty free is excellent"

Cons: "The flight was delayed out of JFK for some unknown reason (definitely not weather or missing plane since it was the first flight of the morning). Several passengers were told their connecting flight would definitely be held for them. A few of us asked for a guarantee because we would rather pay to rebook another flight than get stuck, and the gate attendents at JFK said it was certain we would make our flights. Once we got to El Salvador we were told they never intended to hold our flights. Avianca agents there told the handful of us going to Cancun we we're rebooked on Copa Airline and would have to go to Panama first, then Cancun, and arrive around 10 pm instead of 11 am. Other passengers were stuck in El Salvador for even longer. For our trouble, they only offered a $70 voucher for Avianca which is essentially useless to most of us since it has extensive restrictions. On top of this, the plane seating was small and the food was terrible. When we got switched to Copa there was at least slightly more leg room and better food. Do not fly Avianca!!"

Cons: "Late for no reason. Boarded late, arrived late"

Pros: "The food was alright."

Cons: "No in-seat entertainment."

Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating, poor service. I asked for and extra cup of water and they said no! I mean it's a 6 hour flight and we took the red eye. I would expect to atleast have drinks. Overall staff was very rude. Service was very poor and slow. Plus the seating is extremely uncomfortable no leg room no offer to up sell first class. Terrible flight company would never use again or recommend ever! Stay away there are plenty of other ways to get to Colombia. One positive is they did have a decent movie selection honestly that's the only thing. Other then that this company does not even deserve one star I will make sure to tell all my friends family and social media to never use this company"

Pros: "smooth transition .."

Cons: "Wished the seats has more spacing."

Pros: "The flights wers on time"

Pros: "The flight attendant were very attentive and nice."

Cons: "The food was too salty. This is especially bad for me since I have high blood pressure."

Cons: "They destroyed my son's stroller"

Cons: "The aircraft was very cold"

Cons: "El aircraft was totally awfull. too mcuh noise, toilets smell bad, no coffee because machine was broken... such a bad experience"

Cons: "2times was cancelled and I have to Stay 2 nights in Bogota"

Pros: "I am impressed! I will be booking through Avianca again!"

Pros: "Being moved to a copa fligth"

Cons: "They had us 3hours con the plain and after that it was cancelled. Several people lost a full day of work no responsability from Avianca."

Pros: "Free Drinks and Food."

Pros: "There was no one sitting by my side!"

Pros: "absolutely nothing!!!!"

Cons: "Everything!!! I came to Kayak to purchase a cheapest flight ticket and as they say you get what you pay for. I ended up paying twice as more than original price. First I had to change the dates because of family emergency and that costed me $400 extra. When I got the gate about to board the plane, the system did not update the change and someone else had my seat. I missed my flight and was not compensated for this error. I was stuck in the airport or whole night and the next morning I had to pay $400 again to find a different flight. OVERALL, it was the most horrible experience ever. Never buying these kind of tickets again."

Cons: "1 bag delivered whithout padlock and stole belogingns."

Pros: "The complimentary blankets and pillows"

Cons: "The crew constantly putting our window shades up"

Pros: "The food was good and the crew was nice"

Pros: "the wind was high on the landing into costa rica but the pilot made a smooth landing"

Cons: "Boarding crew not very friendly"

Cons: "Small plane, feels cramped"

Cons: "Terrible flight experience from delta"

Pros: "The crew was amazing"

Cons: "Other travellers where rude"

Cons: "Explain why there’s over a 2 hour delay"

Cons: "No WiFi. Little service."

Cons: "Please reduce your delays - again we took off with more than an hour delay and by definition you are responsible of that disagreement, you are the company I am paying for the service...."

Pros: "The Updated Delta Airline A320 Airbus Inside & Out"

Pros: "Chairs was comfortable"

Cons: "I had a kid kicking my chair the whole flight."

Cons: "There was no rhyme nor reason for who boarded first"

Cons: "flights all on Delta - about one a week for 3 months straight - and yet when Delta cancelled my flight and re-booked they did not give me any upgrade or loyalty as I saw it - I had paid extra for Delta Comfort and they told me the flight they re-booked me on simply did not have any comfort available. However, I was not the one canceling the flight and re-booking - that is their problem and after so much loyalty for years I feel like I should have gotten some kind of upgrade for free...If I have to cancel - I have to pay fees - but if they cancel - I lose ...despite being a very loyal SkyMiles customer. I am quite disillusioned with Delta now and will have to look around to see what other airlines there are now - and my entire family - and what kind of loyalty they give to their loyal customers. It needs to be a two-way"

Pros: "Boarding and Arrival went smooth and quick. We were early to our destination. Short 3 hour flights are always easy."

Pros: "entertainment and leg room on regular seats"

Cons: "delay, boarding process"

Pros: "No delay and friendly crew!"

Cons: "Not much leg room and the coffee was horrific."

Pros: "There were many delays and cancellations due to bad thunderstorms at LGA. Despite a few hours delayed (because the airport was closed due to the storm), the flight was still schedule to leave! I was very happy about that. They did issue waivers for those who could not make the later time. Once delta got the ok to fly.. The flight left the gate very fast and we arrived and exited the plane super fast too. The process was so efficient and quick, I did not feel the waiting period. The flight attendance were so happy and positive, they made he flight very enjoyable. Great job delta!"

Pros: "In-flight entertainment, speed of flight"

Cons: "Delayed because waited on a stewardess to show up. Wasn’t able to book my seats when we checked in. The last seats on the plane are horrible. Still waiting on the plane to unload. Definitely will rethink ever flying this airline again."

Cons: "They need to raise the temp on these planes. Give free blankets or put a warning on the boarding pass saying that you will freeze."

Pros: "The flight was smooth and on time. We even arrived a little early in Rochester."

Cons: "LaGuardia Airport was the worst airport I have ever been in. It was so crowded that people were sitting on the floor! The gates are squished together with totally inadequate seating. It was extremely noisy."

Pros: "Everything went as smoothly as possible. Not a hiccup. Great price, great flight, great experience!"

Pros: "The on time departure. The air hostesses were very attentive. Fast baggage arrival"

Cons: "Small seater aircraft was cramped"

Pros: "Late. Poor communication. Crying kids"

Cons: "Flight was delayed longer than the actual flight time. Smallest plane I have ever been in in my life."

Pros: "Very good flight. Nice staff, modern and clean plane."

Pros: "The LGA team did great in difficult situation"

Cons: "Got put on standby despite having purchased my ticket over 1 month in advance"

Cons: "Paid first class. Got served after people in coach."

Cons: "Delayed by 3 hours"

Cons: "Food .gate changes"

Pros: "Made friends on the way to Maine!"

Pros: "Could not use the bathroom"

Cons: "Due to weather patterns, we sat on the runway for 3 hours waiting to take off. There was approx. 50+ planes ahead of us. I know this because I was sitting next to an off-duty pilot on his way home. About 2 hours in, there was 30 planes left to take off, and then us. They air traffic control people were only letting off one plane per minute which is what was holding us. THEN after the 3 hours on the runway, our crew timed out and the brought us back to gate saying we were not taking off. At the gate, they informed us the flight was not 'cancelled' but 'delayed' to the following morning. I/m not sure how a 16 hour difference is considered 'delayed', but I digress. All Delta reps had NO idea the time of the new flight the following morning and told us all to just 'keep checking the app'. Now, fortunately for me I live in Brooklyn and could just go home. But what about everyone who was at LGA as a layover? I heard from multiple passengers they had to spend the night in a hotel, that Delta did not pay for. We finally got notice the new flight was scheduled for 9:30AM, which they AGAIN delayed until 11:30AM. Many people did not get the second change, and were already at LGA for the 9:30AM flight. To say Delta's handling of this was poor is an understatement. We knew when we got on that plane the crew was going to time out. Again, I was sitting next to an off-duty pilot who told me to 'get comfy, we're gonna be here awhile' the minute I sat down. Delta should have given us a fresh crew, or had a backup one prepared. I understand the weather is out of there control, and I understand you can't have a tired crew piloting an airplane, but there are other ways to have us take off remotely on schedule."

Cons: "Delta doesn't manage their flight schedules and personnel with backup or standby crew in order to assist whenever there are delays across domestic flights. The plane was late to arrive at the gate and we were also told that while the pilot was ready to take off, we couldn't leave because we were waiting for a flight attendant to land from Pittsburgh (we were in La Guardia airport in NYC). delta would rather I convenience the flyer instead of hiring more personnel or figuring out standby or backup plans for delayed flights."

Cons: "We we missed our connection they wouldn't help us at all."

Cons: "The delay on the runway"

Pros: "Service in the flight !!"

Pros: "Seats were reasonably comfortable."

Cons: "Boarding process was ok (they bused us over to the plane and then had us walking out halfway to the plane's stairs before frantically sending us back on the bus because the plane wasn't cleaned yet). Not a big deal but we were traveling with a 10 month old so miscommunications like that cause a larger inconvenience than usual. The real downer on the flight was when we needed hot water quickly to warm our infant's bottle. The stewardess had begun beverage service and was about 8 rows away from us. My wife hit the call button, expecting the stewardness to come over somewhat quickly. Instead, she just continued beverage service and got to us about 15 mins later. By that point it was too late and the baby was wailing from hunger. When we asked why, knowing that we had a small child, the stewardness didn't just push the cart forward and attend to us more quickly, she said she didn't want to do that. No apology, not even a sense of remorse. At the end of the day, a customer's experience will always be tainted by poor service and that is what we received on our flight."

Pros: "Was a nice flay , thanks"

Pros: "Friendly crew, on time"

Pros: "Delta changed me to another flight without charge and the rep was very accommodating and pleasant"

Cons: "Multiple delays, from 8:15 to 8:49 to 9:05 to 9:39 to 10:12 to 10:19 to 10:25. I am not joking. Honestly, if the delay is due to 'maintenance' for an incoming plane that has not left its originating destination, why quote any time at all? The check in rep did provide an announcement at 8:15 that although the time of departure had moved to 9:05 , he did not see how that was possible since our plane was on the ground in Richmond undergoing maintenance. I was in LGA. When I heard that, I changed to another flight, so the outcome was not as bad as it could have been. I am aware of these other times since my email is packed with Delta's notifications, which I welcome usually."

Cons: "Access to LGA has become too problematic due to the construction. We will use other airports on our future trips to NY"

Pros: "Friendly service. On-time."

Cons: "No tv's in airplane."

Pros: "Flight was fast and direct."

Cons: "Flight left 45 minutes late because the crew wasn't there."

Worst airline I’ve ever been on. Flight was cancelled after being delayed several hours at the airport and another several hours on the plane itself. Weren’t even offered food or compensation.

Pros: "The timer all the flight was excellent"

Pros: "Profesional, on time and quality service. A tremendous difference to the US Carriers. A+ based on price, service and amenities"

Cons: "Everything was great"

Cons: "Same thing from previous flight. The crew is not capable to attend passengers traveling with toddlers or kids. We had an emergency on board with a 3yo and the plane had no emergency kit for children. The seats for toddlers and children are not adequate for their height or weight. Seatbelts don't fit a child. They travel in such uncomfortable seats and conditions. The aircraft was a 190, too small to make passengers feel comfortable, and this is how Copa always manages their flights to all cities in Central America. Very poor service and old aircrafts. People are paying for a quality service not to be treated like cattle. You need to improve your services."

Pros: "Boarding process, inflight service"

Cons: "Flight was canceled, was booked on flight 812, that flight was also canceled. I didn’t get to Quito until 24 hours later. Customer service was terrible in terms of providing accurate information to passengers."

Pros: "The whole experience was great. Pleasant crew, food excellent. I will recommend this airline for future trips."

Cons: "More affordable especially because this was a last minute trip because of death in my family."

Cons: "Limited movie selection"

Cons: "Lost one of my bags Food barely edible. Above was flight jfk to Panama City This flight had no tv that worked. Audio was broken."

Pros: "Que el avion era de 2 filas conn2 lugares"

Cons: "La comodidad.. Son muy estrechos..."

Pros: "An online departure, good service, and ontime arrival"

Pros: "The attention with Copa Airlines was great"

Cons: "Poor costumer service . Luggage was wet . All of the clothes ruined"

Pros: "Flight made it on time, exactly as scheduled, despite a delay during boarding of almost 1/2 an hour. But other than that, good flight."

Cons: "Boarding and takeoff were delayed almost 1/2 an hour."

Pros: "Single best value for flying in years... very attentive crew. Wine was complimentary. I enjoyed shopping in the Tocumen airport."

Cons: "Checking process in Miami was slow"

Pros: "All the crew in CR and Guatemala were very courteus and professional."

Pros: "Meal was good and plane was clean and well maintained."

Cons: "Just a little tight but overall good"

Pros: "Comfortable and puntual"

Pros: "Services food on time"

Pros: "Friendly staff, clean and comfortable seats and good food!"

Cons: "Two out of our three flights had no onboard entertainment."

Pros: "The welcoming and attentive service"

Pros: "Everything’s was very good."

Pros: "This was a nice experience for a fairly typical airline. Meaning, not Emirates, Qantas, or the others that are supposed to be top-notch. To be fair, I haven't flown them, I'm just thinking of things I've heard and read. The seat was fine and typical as far as leg room and reclining goes. The food was what you'd expect on an airline (it was fine, but I don't despise airline food). The crew though, was wonderful. Really. Friendly, welcoming...I bothered one attendant a couple times for more water as I was very thirsty, and then asked for a beer after the beverage service was over. Often flight attendants will act as if you're demanding a foot massage or something, but this particular guy was very nice. All of the crew that I interacted with was just lovely."

Cons: "A flight of this duration should really have wifi access."

Pros: "Everything went very smoothly and on time. The captain did an excellent job of describing our flight course and other detailed information about the flight. It was a very pleasant and comfortable travel experience."

Pros: "I thought the entire cabin crew were friendly, polite and very helpful."

Cons: "If you are on a seat at the back, it takes too long to get off because the people in front especially first class, take their sweet time getting their luggage while the rest have to wait. Then my contacting flight only had 22 minutes to transboard."

Pros: "For the price, it was an incredible deal. Not fancy but kind flight attendants, standard economy class (meaning, as bad as all the others for space, definitely not the worst Ive flown, much better than cheap european airlines), had an on time connection in Panama... I would definitely fly again. I speak Spanish but all Copa staff speak English, so it was really easy."

Cons: "They do not have a way to order vegetarian food on their website so I did not eat on either flight, which was really frustrating."

Cons: "No air conditioning, small gates, too crowded."

Cons: "El aeropuerto internacional de Panama es sencillamente horrible y extremadamente caro y ni siquiera wifi free hay para los pasajeros que como yo tenemos que hacer escala. La señal para llamar por teléfono usando mi propia proveedor. Es un aeropuerto del siglo pasado que ya es hora COPA que tiene su centro de operaciones pongan de su parte para hacer más placentero la estadía en ese aeropuerto; aeropuertos como el CR o el de Bogotá no más sale uno del avión y hay excelente wifi que le permite a uno estar en contacto con la familia."

Pros: "Service on the leg to Panama City was great, but the flight was delayed about one hour in departure"

Cons: "Because of the delay leaving JFK, I missed my connection to Santiago and had to take a later fligjt in Economy and only received a $400 voucher"

Pros: "I was treated SO well as my flight was bumped back a day. I was given a stay at a wonderful hotel with all meals and transportstion as well. It was exquisite! Not to mention $350 reimbursement & wonderful interactions every step of the way."

Cons: "I didn't like delaying my schedule 1 day, but the positives outweighed the negatives without question."

Pros: "One of your crew members went above and beyond to help a family that was sitting next to me. That kind if service was unexpected and a huge help to the family. We were all impressed. They were all very cordial and polite."

Cons: "Second plane from panama to Costa Rica, the crew embarressed me and my friend and I will never fly on that airline again if Sandie Machida ever works on it. She is the ruddiest and most unprofessional flight attendant and needs extra lessons on costumer service and how she hosts guests."

Pros: "Everything about them. The crew is so helpful and kind, flights are always on time, the planes are in great condition and the amenities included with your tickets makes it worth to choose COPA!"

Cons: "Touch screen didn't work"

Pros: "Katherine was helping me perfectly with my extra luggage when I was doing my chek-in. She was helping me to pass security check because I was a bit late. really thankful."

Cons: "Breakfast (especially egg) was inedible. I choose aisle seat in advance (laptop) but finally I was in a window seat."

Pros: "everything was fine"

Pros: "Staffs were so kind and professional."

Cons: "when we got to the airport, we were told we had NO TICKET!!!"

Pros: "On time is the most important feature of COPA. The other is that COPA remain as a full service compared to most that cut services more and more."

Cons: "Sometimes price are quite high that makes flying COPA impossible, way too high"

Pros: "Ground Crew is alwyas super friendly and very polite. I Normally love to fly with COPA for a number of reasons...but this short trip had two inconviniences that are noted here on the what I thought needed to happen."

Cons: "Male Flight Attendant had attitude and asked me to put my set back in upright position...it was and I had a broken foot, so it would not have been appropriate to put my seat back due to pain. He jkumpoedf all over ma and even the lady next to me...she to was reading and did not have her seat back either! Food was a bag of chips...1 OZ bag of Frito Lay Chips..... HERE IS A HUGE HINT: BEST TO NOT GIVE ANYTHING...DO NOT INSULT US MORE!!!"

Cons: "Not complain was very good"

Only the seats were uncomfortable

I liked the crew members and boarding personnel. Food could have been much better. It felt like a frozen snack. There’s no organization and a very poor way to communicate changes to passengers.

Pros: "Flight, plane, and crew were great."

Cons: "MEX customs was a nightmare."

Pros: "Everything was fine excellent."

Cons: "Everything was excellent."

Pros: "Nothing in particular"

Cons: "A more organized boarding process"

Cons: "In JFK, they asked to check in every single carry on. This is very inconvenient and adds time upon arrival. Considering that this is a late evening flight, the more you wait the later it gets. If this plane has not enough space they should use other plane"

Pros: "Ease in ticketing."

Cons: "The hardest part was the long layover. I didn’t dress warmly enough, so I had to keep moving!"

Pros: "Food, entertainment, leg room much better than any US airline. Crew is smart and efficient."

Cons: "I’m still stuck in Mexico"

Cons: "With one hour to go, a man in my row in the AMPlus section (which costs extra for a bit more comfort in economy) was joined by his companion who started the flight in the back, the basic economy fare which does not cost extra.. I didn’t appreciate the fact that she got to sit up front without paying and that the AeroMexico crew did nothing to call her out or send her back. The lesson: Don’t pay the extra money for AM Plus. Just wait until no one is watching and move up front. No one cares—except your fellow passengers who paid for the added comfort."

Pros: "Un avión en buen estado con buena variedad de Filmes"

Cons: "Quedamos mucho tiempo esperando dentro del Avión antes del despegue y después del aterrizaje"

Pros: "Horrible! They changed my flight to much later. I’mnstill in mexitco city waiting for my flight to Lima. Hated it."

Cons: "It changed last minute. I was supposed to be in Lima for my dad’s surgery"

Pros: "Vuelo acorde con el horario establecido"

Cons: "Regular atención del personal en el aeropuerto"

Pros: "Great service , and very convenient"

Pros: "Comfortable and service was great!!"

Pros: "The cabin attendants were very professional, bilingual and smiled."

Pros: "amazing plane large easy new"

Pros: "Fantastic Chicken dinner for economy fair.. Will fly AeroMexico again next time. Great (the BEST) service !"

Pros: "It was a direct flight."

Cons: "The delay when departing, and the attention of the flight attendants. Also very limited kind of beverages."

Pros: "The crew kept us informed and the flight attendants were nice awesome plane!"

Cons: "Having to check in my carry-on because the plane is full. Lost a meeting because I had to wait for my bag at my final destination."

Pros: "Food was good. In flight crew was nice."

Cons: "Food portion was slightly too small. Boarding crew (not on flight but in the terminal) was NOT nice-- I had a garment bag that in past experience does not count as an additional carry on since it can be placed on top of carry-on in overhead bin. Boarding crew member insisted I was over the limit (when though at check-in, the staffer saw how many pieces I had and made no comment) and she insisted I had to check one item AND pay the baggage fee. But this was a problem only because it was a full flight, and I was being punished just because my seat was in a tow closer to the front and boarded later, therefore there was less room left in the overhead bins. Also seemed ridiculous to charge for the first checked bag, with most other reputable airlines, there is no fee for the first checked bag for international flights."

Pros: "Pretty average experience. Did not like that first checked luggage was charged for an international flight."

Cons: "Food was by far the worst of any airline I’ve flown. It was unreal....the smell...wow."

Pros: "I liked the service and the food that was provided."

Cons: "My suitcase was ripped on the back"

Pros: "Dreamliner experience. Service on board"

Pros: "THE ATTENTION WAS EXCELENT . NOT DELAYES, EVETHING WAS GOOD LETICIA ESPINAL"

Pros: "Everything. Flight was great."

Cons: "That delta operated the flight back to NY"

Pros: "5 stars to the supervisor Octavio"

Cons: "The rest of the Team do not know what customer service is"

Cons: "Poor communication about serious delays."

Pros: "The snack - such as it is - is certainly a step above what I get when I fly the same route on United. Also the entertainment system is much better, and free! Cabin staff are friendly and efficient. The seating is about the same as on every other airline. I was in steerage for the Mexico City - San Jose leg. A lady was seated in my window seat when I boarded, and seemed surprised when I insisted on reclaiming my seat (She had the middle seat). In contrast to Mexico City, the San Jose airport is a model of efficiency. Immigration is rapid, luggage comes out on the carousel in good time, and best of all there is a duty free shop right in the luggage claim area, so it is unnecessary to buy liquor ahead of time."

Cons: "Mexico City is a terrible airport to have to pass through. Everyone has to go through Immigration (similar to US airports in that regard) even if just in transit. However, they have few officers there, and almost half of the available booths weren't even manned. The result was chaos, with the immigration hall filled with grouchy travellers, and other travellers stuck in aircraft waiting to disembark. Expect to be stuck in Immigration for a minimum of an hour after landing; maybe plan on 1 1/2 hours just to get through Immigration and Customs. And if you are making a connection, whatever you do don't go through the sliding doors on the other side of Customs - I made that mistake once! I speak Spanish, so the following comments are not coloured by language difficulties ... Security staff are unfriendly. While there is supposed to be free wifi in the departure lounge, I couldn't figure out how to use it. A gate agent told me there wasn't any free wifi, all the time standing beside a sign that said there was. I was also singled out for a spot check of my hand luggage right in the jetway. The unfriendly lady doing that search so disarranged my stuff that I couldn't find my Kindle when I got on the plane, so was without my planned reading material."

Pros: "It's an average flight with so much area of opportunities."

Cons: "The traffic waiting to take off."

Cons: "Everything worked well"

Pros: "Because of a leg wound, we could not make the flight. But AM ticket refund is one of the worst in the business."

Pros: "I missed my flight but when I got to the gate, the staff was really helpful. They got me a seat on the next flight and gave me a voucher for food during the wait. I will definitely be flying Aeromexico again!"

Pros: "EverythING were great"

Pros: "Un pequeño retraso a la salía de México, sin mayores inconvenientes"

Pros: "Great selection of movies to watch"

Cons: "The crew seemed to be in a bad mood that night. One of the flight attendants hit my elbow as he was speeding through the aisle, causing me to knock over my drink. He didn't apologize or try to help. The other one"

Cons: "I am still waiting for my connection in Mexico City as the flight was 2 hours delayed in NY. I am missing a big family event due to inneficiency."

Pros: "On time boarding and fast but good service."

Cons: "Not enough drinks offered"

Pros: "My experience was great. The plane was comfortable and I enjoyed the food and the entertainment provided."
