I flew from Seattle to Nashville via United and it sucked. Had to take a 3 hour layover in Houston, very little amenities on the plane. Couldn't sit next to my girlfriend on the second leg of the flight. This was basically a red eye journey too. Only thing at a decent price. No carry ons allowed btw, just a personal item. Didn't affect us this journey but it has in the past.
I flew from Nashville back to Seattle on Alaska. It was awesome. We got to pick our seats. I got amazing views of Montana and the Cascades/Rainer/Volcanos. And there were free movies we could watch from our seat via screens on the seat in front of us.
United has only ever offered that "watch on your phone" bullshit where the connection is always crappy.
If you have status and accept that US domestic is shit tier compared to Asia and more like Europe but without the dirt cheap options, then Alaska has the best on time, baggage, service and Mileage Plan record, year after year. If you don't have status, it can be less awesome. For example, if you have even basic MVP status, you can check a bike for the same price as a normal bag. If you have MVP Gold 75k, you can check a bike for free PLUS a free suitcase of basically any size, pick your seats (with more legroom and treats) and get frequent (I mean, like, more than 50% of the time) upgrades to First Class depending on route.
Wow...
That's a far cry from my experience with international flights like Emirates lol
Damn, no carry ons and only one device, I guess the trip is short and the pricing is a good thing...
As long as you don't have expectations of flying Air Emirates or something like that, Southwest is usually the best option. Open seating, good customer service, good flight staff, hardly any delays or cancellations, decent entertainment options on board, best leg room of the major airlines, free carry-ons and checked bags, and cheaper than Delta, American, or United's non-economy options. Others may have had different experiences, but I don't fly with anyone other than Southwest if I can. I did take Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines on my honeymoon, and loved them as well. But they don't fly everywhere in the US.
I've flown quite a bit, and had nothing but awful experiences with Alaska and Frontier. United has been the one I've been going with recently as they seem to have a lot of flights that don't require a layover. The customer service at United is by far worse than the other two I mentioned, but the actual flights have been okay (minus some non working plugs).
I've never had a good experience with Air India in my whole life and stopped flying them around 11 years ago on my trips to India. "Highlights" include:
Even with all that, I'd rather fly Spirit or Air India then step foot inside an Aeroflot plane. I value my life too much.
- Some of the surliest, most unfriendly air crew
- Stewardesses and Stewards getting into verbal fights that once escalated to what sounded a lot like slaps and then quiet sobs back around 2004
- Two stewardesses kicking passengers' luggage underneath the chairs to make them fit in the space
- Awful meals and terrible handling of meal change requests
- Ridiculously dirty interiors
