SKYWEST AIRLINES review : 13 June 2008 : by A Arndt

Customer Rating : 1/5

DEN-MLI (United branded flight). Had to walk outside to board plane, which is fine. However left 15 minutes late since 3 other planes boarding from same gate at same time and people getting on wrong planes. CRJ-200 extremely outdated interior and air conditioning inoperable. FA told us to close shades for entire flight to keep plane from heating up, which helped. Cabin crew pleasant. While I would say worst flight I have been on, subtle nuances made up for it somewhat.

In Modesto, CA (a city of about 200,000), Skywest is the only airline that serves our airport, with multiple daily flights to both SFO and LAX (LAX service unfortunately to end soon). Realizing that one can't realistically expect a comfy Boeing or Airbus jet on these short, thin routes, Skywest does, at least, get you there - although anyone beginning his or her trip with Skywest or any regional should try to depart as early as possible, as these planes easily get backlogged during their multi-segment days, and are given last priority to land and big hub airports. I have flown Skywest many times to both airports recently. Unfortunately, they use the dreaded Embraer Brasilia turboprop on those routes, which is very cramped, loud, seats don't recline, and the "lav" (it's a bit of a stretch to call it that) is nothing but a mid-sized compartment that even I, at only 5'10", can't stand up in. There is no running water. The sole F/A must actually crouch under the galley counter to allow you into the lavatory. All of us mid-sized Western city residents will breathe a huge sigh of relief when Skywest finally gets rid of all these dreadful, beat-up planes and replaces them with regional jets!

I've flown SkyWest on the SFO-EUG route many times (under United ticket and livery). They used to fly mainline United (737) on this route, but have resorted to more frequent flights (5 a day) on this route with SkyWest. The CRJ 200s are spacious for their size, and the FA is usually very friendly and attentive. I wouldn't want to fly more than 1.5 hrs on the CRJ 200, since leg room leaves a lot to be desired.

Travelled skywest while on honeymoon from Oakland to Salt Lake City in codesharing Delta. It was a CRJ flight, for about 30 people -only 1 flight attendant on board. First time travelling in such a flight, as in Asia, smallest planes are B737/A320. Flight is comfortable, flight steward very friendly, made 2 rounds of drinks.

Flight on Skywest June 1 SLC to HLN. I am not fond of Skywest but living in Helena, MT we have little choice since Delta pulled out in Jan. 04. My flight from SLC to HLN was great. I travel with my two boys, 2.5 yrs. & 8 mo.. Jim our flight attendant was very accommodating as was the ground crew in SLC. I had a meet and assist all the way to our seats and Jim was very friendly. We even all applauded for him at the end of the flight. The flight crew was friendly and our journey was smooth and quick. The ground crew in Helena was also helpful in assisting me with the boys and setting up my stroller to get off the tarmac and into the terminal.

I recently flew Skywest as a Delta Connection from HLN to SLC. Although I don't like the level of the windows in the CRJ (you have to bend your neck down halfway to see out), the flight was very good and comfortable. It's amazing the room those little planes have. It was a very full flight. The F/A was a delight - very conscientious and attentive. The flight crew were good, too. We got there way ahead of schedule. I was very impressed with Skywest.
