This is why i only travel on non holiday. September-October is the best.
JUDGMENT IS WORLDWIDE!
I don't see how anyone can enjoy traveling.
To me it just looks like a complete and total nightmare nowadays…
i was there .crazy' and chaotic
Secretary of Transportation’s answer should just be “airlines are private corporations. The federal government does not control their operations. Sorry, privatization isn’t always the answer you think it is.”
See how much damage Biden is causing
This is why I’ve been home. The Pandemic ruined everything.
Commercial flying sucks and so does its service because it doesn’t have to be good. They don’t care. Competition increases quality of service, and with TSA-compliance and cost of breaking into that industry, there’s no real competition. It’s a closed market. They don’t care it’s a miserable experience and might even be a nightmare. What other airport in your city are you going to go to? SMH
Pete Buttigieg is NOT doing a good job!
This job belongs to someone with experience!!!
Mile long lines, and they want you to stand there begging for a ticket, waiting and waiting and waiting. Then your flight gets canceled now look at you stuck there for days. They inconvenience you.
I don’t fly at all you would never get me into one of them submarines with wings how they cram everybody on there if you’re too big, you don’t fit, drunks on the airplane drunks in the airport. Crazy people on airplanes, causing problems, mental health people running around, screaming in the airport, TSA agents feeling everybody up you would never catch me in one of them airports.
And these are just some of the reasons you would never catch me at an airport not to mention the other pricing for bags ridiculous. They’re a rip off all of them.
Who would fly anymore with how bad safety, prices and customer service is its a scam
It's a finely tuned System -When it works! So many floating variables however! This is why most Carriers have War Room Desks to Repo Aircraft; Coordinate with Crew Scheduling and Dispatch Deadhead Crews to various Hubs and Outstations Have Infill and Reserve Crews in place to make Flow Through and Interline as seamless as possible When you add in ATC Staffing shortages it further complicates things The Main Goals are Safety and Dispatch Reliability! With Safety being Paramount! It's still frustrating when you've been T-Side(Terminal Airport Side) all day waiting on that flight ✈️ to Cleveland to visit your Aunt Flo for the 4th of July Steamfitters Annual picnic on Lake Erie! Negotiate what Food and Beverage Vouchers that you can! Also if you misconnect at a Hub and you've missed the last flight ✈️ of the day to your destination some Airlines used to have and may still have 'Red Coat Agents who can give you Distress Rates for Airport Hotels in the area.Good Luck!
At this point, I don’t feel bad for these people. It’s been bad for a few years now and the airlines can not handle holiday weekends…..
This is all part of the corrupt Democrats, and Biden's build back better plan!
All inclusive hassles /stress happens in airports 😂😂🙄🙄🙄
Whenever I fly internationally, I always always try to avoid making connections in the North America and Europe. Not only the weather, in the US, you have to go through immigration/custom, risk missing your next flight, even though US isn't your destination. Europe, risk of protests and missing baggage. I like flying Emirates. Dubai has been problem free for me so far.
Biden's America with travel by Peter Butt Cake
Lesson, don't go on vacation via air travel on peak holiday seasons it really sucks all the time, even here in ph same scenario.
Im young yes, but in my eyes I would rather be delayed and make it to my destination safe and irritated than be a part of the next major airplane disaster and be dead with my body in 5 pieces do to overwork, and the lack of people getting confused, playing around with my life. That's why I got travel insurance. 😊
Don't fly on hollidays
Secretary of Transportation is incompetent. The Biden administration is Riddled with Incompetence. How Pathetic.
It was Newark.
Why bother to travel by air on holidays. We left for CA day before memorial day and airport was almost empty. Came back after holiday. Try that if you are able. Fell bad for you guys.
Thousands stuck at airports it’s ok they can sleep on the floor for seven days 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, no refund at all. Whenever you pay for something you expect a service in return and if you don't receive a service and you still lose your money? That's straight up steeling!! Smh
pete buttigieg should be held more accountable.
