Seems like a major hassle and ticket prices are pretty nuts.
Flown 3x in the past year.
- Lost luggage 3x (one bag sat @SFO for a week, no explanation why it wasn't ever placed on the daily flights)
- Told I would have to gate check an electric guitar because there was no space on board (there were empty overhead bins and plenty of room in the coat closet), the guitar was lost for three days and arrived broken of course.
Flights seem cancelled more than ever
Boeing
Got a message at home my flight was boarding in one hour (was supposed to board in 3 hours) I'm like WTF? Obviously seemed like a bad idea to try to call customer service and figure it out - was halfway done packing said f-it and jumped in an Uber..."Nah, we just sent that message out to try to get you on an earlier flight..you'll be leaving at the originally scheduled time."
Missed flight in SFO - the ended the boarding process and closed the gate 20 minutes early (apparently this against FAA regs)
City bus vibe on flights - rude stewardesses - everyone up and out of their seats when the fasten seat belt light is on - heavy turbulence and the guy in front of me decides to stand up an play around in the overhead bin.
Had guests coming this weekend - first no plane - then unannounced gate change - plane arrives but no pilot, then no crew - finally get pilot and crew - taxi for hours - pilot said time is up, we have to return to the gate - no gate available, wait more hours - offload passengers, flight cancelled.
