Flight Delayed for hours. The Airlines must have known the exact time of delay but just kept adding time to the delay to keep everyone hopeful. When it was time to load the loading process was very unorganized and seemed to take twice as long as on other airlines I have traveled

Got there quickly and safely. I didn’t have to check a bag I had one carryon which was small my kids took backpacks. The snacks are pricey so I didn’t purchase any. I would’ve like more variety.
