Smooth flight, especially take off and landing, and great crew on board. Really loved the stroopwaffles!

Its good expeince but in enternteiment please be like you tube the music i like or movie

So far so good but food and entertainment are not available for this flight

Electric plugs didn't work. Entertainment system wasn't working

My suitcase was destroyed. The top part where the handle is is completed broken. And unusable now.

Easy to board. Flight was super crowded though so I didn't sleep well on that cross country red-eye flight. The aisles seem ot have gotten narrower and the seat smaller whn luggage and people are getting bigger so it would be AWESOME to have more space and breathing room in general ;)

We were Polaris passengers and found the service poor. The food was ok but the flight attendants were not attentive and rushed the service.

The flight was heavily booked so boarding was a lengthy process. The FA’s were rather abrupt during this process but became more gracious as the flight went on. Breakfast (puffed pastry and chewy sausage) was pretty horrible but there was fruit and yogurt which they didn’t mess up. Overall it was fine.

I had a bad experience with the security at IAH and felt like a sardine on all 4 legs of my journey.
