I appreciated the ability to choose between multiple flights both into and out of Portland from Burbank on the same day, so we were able to attend an event and return without spending the night. I am unable to appreciate what Alaska Air calls "streamlining" the checkin/boarding process at Burbank Airport. If you have a smartphone and the Alaska Air app, it is probably fine, but removing the option of using onsite kiosks to print boarding passes does not meet my definition of "streamlined". I also found it challenging that both Portland and Burbank airports required the plane to sit on the runway for some time due to lack of an open gate at which to disembark. It would not be so bad if we could at least remove our seat belts and move a little bit while we waited, but that is not an option. I honestly don't know whether this is because of how Alaska Air operates, or just the circumstances of the particular day and airports we were using, but I normally do not experience these kinds of delays to reach a gate using Southwest Air.

This flight was significantly affected by poor wifi connections. I couldn’t get my work done because the wifi kept dropping. Even texts were not going through. There is no seat power in premium class either. I fly a lot. Today was my 10th flight in 4 weeks. This was by far the only flight that was sub par.
Good! Although I wish I didn’t have to check my bag at the gate, when I got on the plane there was plenty of room for the bag.
The cabin stewart took care of my garment bag and then made sure I did not forget it on my way out. The stewardess gave me water after I missed the earlier service (I was asleep). I received good service overall.
It was just fine. Short flight so nothing special to comment on.
Everything was fine within the parameters of flying full aircraft. My only small regret was that the non-meal, "snack" type food options had 90% medium to high sodium items. They looked appetizing, but many, if not most older Americans are restricted in sodium intake, so maybe one low/no sodium option would entice people to buy them. I brought my own food. The staff, on-time and aircraft quality were great, as usual for Alaska.
Shorten up the country? All joking aside, it was fine. Thank you very much.
I arrived at 7:15 for an 8:30am flight. The winds in Burbank were keeping all flights down for the morning. What ensued next was absolute chaos, poor communication and chaos. I had booked a flight last minute because my boyfriends father was dying and o needed to be there immediately. There was absolutely no consideration for communication about what was happening with our flight after there was discovered to be a mechanical error. There was no mention that vouchers had been sent by email For food and I ended up wasting money on my lunch that was horrible. I literally bought the food when I had been emailed about a voucher. . I sat there now at 1:45 and tried to get some answers because the time was ticking. Your lady was so helpful and rushed me to get a flight out of United. I showed up to sfo 6+ hours late and was able to say goodbye to his father. But it was just a horribly communicated day. Please do better
Horrible, missed my connecting flight because Alaska did not give me enough time
Flights were delayed for hours. Once boarded, we were left sitting on the tarmac for too long. I had to reschedule some flights despite scheduling over a 2 hr layover between flights. I ended up running thru the airport both times. I missed getting a meal at the airport and airline required pre-orders for meals so I was starved and exhausted when I finally arrived at my destination 6 hrs later than planned. I hope I don’t have to fly again soon. This was tortuous.
Flight delayed about 2 hrs so it made it a VERY late night
Standard economy seats on Deltas 767 were better than Alaska premium seats on their 737 MAX9; more legroom, wider seats. Entertainment was great, no ipad or phone required. Could have included a meal service.
Plane was turned around due to fog half way into the flight, Delta did not properly direct passengers to stay on same flight and instead failed to properly rebook on Alaska
The boarding process was terrible especially with an indirect flight Chicago to Seattle to San Diego was terrible talking about we overbooked a flight idk if I’d take this airline ever again we got off our flight from Chicago to Seattle and we traveled for business and they told us our connecting flight was over booked and their was no seats asking people to take a delayed next flight and they don’t tell anyone coughing to wear masks seats 30A-B were terrible during the flight no one wants to sit next to people coughing all around I don’t want to be sick traveling for work or get sick anytime it’s very upsetting the staff doesn’t take this stuff serious to tell them to wear masks when they see people coughing and sneezing
Flight was on time, the crew was personable & professional, & the plane arrived early which was nice.
This flight landed early, but deplaned late. We were stuck sitting and waiting for a gate for over an hour
My flight was very clean and the location was comfortable. The service was great. A satisfying flight!
I appreciated being upgraded. I was very disappointed with my 13 hr layover in Seattle to geg, while my friends who flew Alaska made it home as scheduled. I had to reserve a hotel on my dime.
Really liked the choice of the 4 free snack options. Crew great. Good vibe on plane.
More filling food and more entertainment options would be cool.
Crew was great and did their best to make us comfortable and captain came out at the beginning to announce why the flight was delayed, weather situation up ahead, and kept us updated throughout the flight.
United WiFi is consistently unusable (it can take 10 mins to load a single web page). If you need Wifi to do work, be prepared to lose half a day of productivity.
Awful. I got stuck next to a person carrying a dog and behind someone with a dog. People need to board these dogs downstairs. The cabin is crowded enough with your pets
Packed in like sardines, very uncomfortable. Sitting the aisle my shoulder was rammed into numerous times by rushing flight attendants. Also flight was very cold.
the head jack on my seat didn't work and the power outlet didn't work for my seat
Left 2 hours later for delayed I had to take care a kid with special need since people don’t want to move to accommodate the rest of the family. . It wasn’t bad but that made me upset that people can be that selfish.
For a 22 minute flight all you expect is for it to be safe and comfortable
Flight was on time. Staff were friendly. I paid for Economy Plus but was required to check my standard carry-on luggage due to lack of space on the aircraft. This cost me 30 minutes, unexpectedly, in waiting at the baggage claim. This experience did not meet my expectations.
Wouldn’t let me check in said couldn’t find a ticket had to wait very long Time
Airline did not explain reasons why flight was delayed two hours. Explanations were badly needed and rarely provided. Problem seemed to clearly be the airline’s fault and not the fault of the weather or airport.
Food options were limited which is absolutely embarrassing for a Flight of this size The staff did not come around as much and I am not accustomed to such poor service from American Airlines Drinks I believe were limited to soda and water
Crew were attentive and friendly. Flight was smooth and early! I enjoyed the less crowded plane. Thank you!
We are gluten free, there were not any available complimentary gluten free options.
No meal on a cross country flight? SFO-MiA is pretty much the definition of a coast to coast flight. No meal provided. Sky high wi-fi rates too. Stop nickel and diming your customers.
The staff was unprofessional and didn’t communicate very well. The boarding process was very disheveled, potentially due to a power outage the previous day but there was no contingency plan to properly get passengers boarded the following day. Once boarded the aircraft stayed on the tarmac for over 45 minutes due to high winds. The communication was sporadic but an announcement was finally made an additional 30 minutes later that the flight was cancelled but we couldn’t get off the plane. Prior to deplaning one of the gate agents came on the plane and made an announcement for everyone to pickup their checked bags and take a card to rebook a new reservation because they didn’t have adequate staff. Flights were missed, passengers went to different airports and there was little to no assistance from AA.
I had trouble finding a boarding pass because I had an hour between Flights and American did not see my flight I believe because I was ticketed through KAYAK. I did not have enough time to go to the desk before boarding so I went to the desk and told them while I was boarding and they had a boarding pass for me within three minutes. Nice. I paid extra to have more legroom and it is definitely worth it for a six hour flight. I would’ve paid for a decent dinner, but they didn’t offer anything but a snack box —not good for six hours.
Apart from the delay due to unforeseen circumstances. The leg from sjc to dfw was fine. It was the leg from dfw to orf that we encountered issues mainly due to the flight attendant crew not being friendly. We had two small children and we needed some assistance to warm up milk so the baby would sleep. The crew just didn’t get it and made things very difficult. One made a remark that the baby’s dirty diaper smell was a “gift” to the plane in a rude way. Normally I’d brush that off as a funny comment if the rest of the trip the attendants were helpful or understanding of the difficulty we faced. But that wasn’t the case. We were met with rudeness on the second leg. Whereas on the first leg the crew were so nice and helpful.
Flight From PHX to CVG was on time, very professional staff
Flight was delayed and missed connecting flight. Did not give warning about delay until we showed up at the airport. Not good.
The usual wait at Columbus once you land to get to an open gate (20 minutes) and then the usual 30 minutes for your luggage to appear.
