SKYWEST AIRLINES customer review : 26 February 2010 by F Coleman

Customer Rating : 5/5

This was great for a low cost, 55 min flight. Flew Perth-Albany and return. Check-in was fast, large baggage allowance, and check-in women was attentive. Boarding call clear, and we were boarded within 10min from the call. 2 flight attendants for a small Fokker 50 (prop plane), great seats with good leg room and recline. Served a meal of great food. On the way back I was surprised that there was no security check at all! What great trust the airline/airport (Skywest is the only airline to fly to Albany) has in there passengers! On the way back they served a chicken sandwich with carrot cake and cookies! Only problem I had was that it was in plastic containers.

Perth to Karratha on an F100. Friendly staff from the ground staff through to the cabin crew on-board. Aircraft showing it's age but the cabin service was efficient and friendly. Hot breakfast served with tea and coffee, all included in the very cheap fare of $159. Skywest has lots of positives going for it, and whilst these flights are aimed mainly at the mining companies, they will continue to pick up other business with their good product.

PER-LEA return. Perth quick and efficient check-in and no queues at security screening. Boarding by walking across tarmac. Flying north I was travelling on a F-100 jet, down they use a F-50 turboprop plane. Seat pitch is impressing. Catering okay and free of charge except if you'd like to drink beer or wine. FA attentive, friendly. For the (high) fare you pay, you get pretty good service. Check-in in Leamonth took ages due to a printer problem and there was no security screening in service which I found rather remarkable.

RDM-SLC-DEN. Not real happy with Skywest/Delta Connection on this route. At RDM, took agent a full 15 minutes to check me in, she continually was having to refer to "how to" manuals to guide her through the process. Late incoming flight causing late departure, was not told upon checkin, nor was this reflected on monitors in the gate area. Later, an announcement made that those with tight connections in SLC should come to make new connections, however, my ticket showed RDM-SLC-DEN as a simple stop in SLC, same flight number to DEN, single boarding pass. You guessed it, it was one of those flights that shows up as a one-stop but is actually a different plane (I knew airlines did this on intl connections, but didn't think that the regionals did it too.) Skywest ground staff in SLC were very shaky: three seeming trainees, one slightly-more knowledgable one who had to guide all of them through the various situations they were trying to rebook.

Perth to Esperance return with SkyWest and most impressed. The breakfast going was real food, fresh and tasty. On the return mid morning flight back to Perth, the muffin was tasted just out of the oven. Nice coffee, not bitter at all. Attendants were efficient and friendly. Legroom the best of any domestic airline in Oz.

Perth to Darwin, via Broome. Fokker 100 was clean, quiet and comfortable. The cabin crew were polite, friendly, and helpful. The food among the best airline food I have tasted. There was a large selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. Overall I had a highly enjoyable experience, and would not hesitate to recommend flying with Skywest in Western Australia!

Perth to Exmouth. Very friendly crew and a good flight with the captain indulging in an overfly of Exmouth bay for a spot of whale watching!! Hot meal was supplied on the outward trip which was better than some other Carriers travelled. Highly recommended.

Had a flight with Skywest from Perth to Broome, it was one of the best flights I have ever had. Flight attendants were excellent, food services was very nice with the full tray that included very fresh food. The FA’s came around with trays of drinks all the time, and the nice touch was when we boarded at Broome after take off the came around with ice hand tows, as it was very hot and humid at broom. What a 5 star service, and I love there Fokker 100 aircraft, very neat with all leather seats and the most leg room of any airline in Australia.

The Flight Attendants were very professional, efficient, warm, always smiling and extremely attentive. I felt like a guest rather than just one of their customers. I highly recommend flying with them if you come to visit Western Australia!

There is also a SkyWest Airlines in Australia, that has a fleet of Fokker 50's and Fokker 100's. They also have frequent flyer agreements with Qantas.
