I thought every thing was good with the acceptation of the long layover between Seattle and the Tampa trip.

I had never flown Alaska before but I definitely will again . Their app is great and the staff was nice , the plane was clean and comfortable . I've been trying to think of something to complain about but I honestly cannot think of anything . And Alaska itself - wow! Such beauty everywhere out there

It was really nice as always and i enjoyed the flight this time around wasn't as much turbulence.

Multiple delays and when we landed zero help getting to and making connecting flight.

entertainment (use your own hardware) was difficult and I don't like tiny tiny screens for movies. "we're locking the bathrooms" messge came as they locked them. how about a warning, e.g. we will lock bathrooms in 15 on our final approach...

First time having to use a wheelchair after a surgery. It was great and they were so very helpful and accommodating.

My flight was delayed in Fairbanks by 45 minutes with no explanation. My next flight was delayed 3 hours in Anchorage then cancelled altogether. Alaska Airlines App was not helpful as it auto-booked me to reach home 2 days later than planed. And I had to fly back to Fairbanks if I wanted to continue with that change. The only real assistance I received was from the Alaska Airlines gate counter supervisor. She was able to get me home one day earlier. This was my 1st experience with Alaska Airlines and it will be my last.

I thought everything was good we were told about turbulence that we were getting ready to go through and the flight was pretty smooth after that good service from the flight attendants overall. I do enjoy with flying with Alaska airlines

I was beat it was a late flight don't remember taking off or landing was a good nap.

Everything went as smooth as it could. Felt a little frowned on for having bought a ticket from Kayak from the air lines, always the last to board, was told my ticket was a saver fare tickets and does not allow changes.
