Flight was delayed and we were left in the plane with planed turned off, took so long to get to destination and luggages were lost. Such a hectic travel
I've been loyal to Alaska Airlines for nearly 25 years and before the merger I had much better benefits. However, since the merger with Hawaiian Air, you've bumped me from group A to B or C and I now get poor selection of seats in the back of the plane.
The response was very helpful and quick. Overall, it was very professional.
WOuld have liked coffee or pretzels but other than that, crew and pilot and flight were great. Seat was great, too.
The flight 2161 was cancelled after repeated delays; for some reason the crew and not the tower located in Billings, Montana made the call. A cancelled flight is not a big deal, it happens. It was very disappointing that upon cancelling the flight it was a free for all to get to the counter for rebooking. Priority seating and first class ticket holders should have been giving priority to get on the next available flight. Most would agree that the process of moving states away, w/a cat, is stressful. A cancelled flight, 90 minutes to rebook, no place to stay, medication that was to be refrigerated and trying to find a local pet friendly hotel significantly added to the stress. Had I been able to rebook (per priority boarding SOP) I could have called the place I had just checked out of as my room most likely was just as I'd left it, including with pet supplies (which also had to be repurchased). While waiting to rebook, many of us called Alaska Airlines 800 number hoping to get a new flight; the waiting time -- this is not a joke -- was eight (8) hours, which dropped to "just" two (2) hours about 45-minutes later. Due to the cancellation I had to spend $268.75 and I still have not been refunded for the change in ticket (first class to regular). Each time I've call, five times now, the wait time was absurd, or a message of call back is given. Hopefully visiting the airport and talking with an agent face to face will be the final chapter to this experience. Alaska has been my go to air travel for years, hopefully this trip was just a hiccup. A system that forces customer's to spend hours of their time (money) to get a just due refund is not a working system. I suggest Alaska Airlines hire more representatives to handle calls; time is more valuable than money, spending 90 minutes to rebook a flight, without the difference being automatic is absurd. There are things called computers, they do amazing things. Once the flight was cancelled, only three agents were working to rebook the PAX, This too was unacceptable. First class ticket holders pay for first-class service, this should include rebooking on flights that are cancelled. I recall a time when flights were cancelled the airline would offer a hotel should the next flight not be until the following day? I had no idea that was no longer SOP; many could return home, several of us could not. The agents were pleasant once the PAX had their turn to rebook, this was true down in baggage area as well. The flight out the next day was also what I'd come to find of Alaska Airlines.
Would not let us check in our luggage. Flight was 40 minutes late, so we really did have time to check in our luggage. Could not get on another flight even for the next day, calling the Alaska service numbers provided, it stated the average wait time to speak to anyone on the phone was 8 HOURS! Alaska would not refund our tix. Never again!!!!!
The crew inside the airport for Alaska was rude, lazy and incompetent
Morbidly obese dude took half my seat. Sore shoulders back from being squeezed. Shame on the airline for not making this guy purchase two seats
I had a medical incident on the flight. The crew was very responsive and kind, making the situation as "good" as possible. (I believe they were overly cautious, but it's understandable.) My only complaint is that the seats are too small. I was so cramped for so many hours, that it exacerbated my medical incident. I will probably not be able to fly in coach anymore, and cannot afford otherwise, so it looks like flying is a thing of the past for me.
Attentive, caring. Loved the communication in the app even before boarding and while on plane from pilots.
there were two flight attendants that were up front...that were the best! They get KUDOs for making my trip only fantastic. Tell them Jeff said that!
OKay. I sat in the back of the plane and it was really loud between babies and little kids, and adults who.like to talk a lot and loudly most of the flight.
Flight coming out of Buffalo was delayed, so we had to be rescheduled on another flight from Baltimore to Phoenix which means we had a long layover and got home 3.5 hours late. Shuttle to parking stopped at 10pm, so we had to pay for an Uber to the parking lot and got charged an extra day of parking since it was after midnight. Not the best experience. Long day!
Was fine, delayed and feels like southwest is always late
I don't know why flying out of Sarasota requires two plane changes.
The first time I flew in the extra legroom section. It was difficult to notice a difference. I had bad luck with my neighbors. The crew was okay. Southwest has reduced the live TV options.
The flight was smooth. The Southwest experience has degraded overall, but this one was okay.
No gluten free snacks. Seats felt worn or bare bones even though it was a new 737 MAX 8.
One major problem that was very unprofessional and uncalled for. Plane landed and we had to wait 20 minutes to get off the plane since they were waiting for someone to come to the gate to drive the jetway. Southwest couldn't have someone available and waiting for the plane to land? Is there only one person in Hobby airport who knows to drive the jetway? Was he at lunch? In the bar? Uncomfortable and uncalled for!
The checking experience in Orlando was terrible, almost missed the flight. Too many travelers and Southwest completely understaffed.
Only beverages were offered to first class and I thought the flight attendant could have also served the Delta Comfort as well instead of sitting down and staring at her phone and walking past all of us to the back of the plane to charge her phone more. There was a complete lack of turbulence and was safe enough for flights attendant to walk around in the front of the plane, collect trash and serve a few people water and turn off the seat belt light. Also didn’t enforce people putting their seats into the upright position and allowed two passengers to remain reclined during landing. They seemed out to lunch completely. Usually my experience on Delta is much better.
Long story short, it was one of the better flight experiences I've had in some time when compared with other airlines.
Flight was great! This flight from Atlanta was even better than when I paid for Comfort from SNA to Atlanta.
Connection flights should be spaced out farther because too close I missed my connection.
Definitely a southern flavor. Cordiality was evident even though no drinks or snacks were served.
On time! There were plenty of airport employees who were able to keep us moving in the right direction. The crew on the plane were professional.
Left /arrived on time. Decent seat space. Like the wifi/plugs and entertainment. Windows and tray table were kinda gross. Attendants didn't start snack service til 40mins before landing. Two rows before us, captain came on to say there's turbulence and recalled staff to seats. So, no drink/snack. Later, attendants didn't stop to see if we had trash nor even look our way. Felt invisible! Almost all pilot announcements were not only unintelligible, but so quiet. We had no idea what she said.
Average seat comfort, a drink and chips were provided, early boarding because we checked a carryon at the gate was nice. Ticket pricing shenanigans, including fees to pick a seat, check a bag, and get food onboard - evidence the industry is reinvigorating last century’s strategies- destroys the experience before one ever arrives at the airport. It’s difficult to recognize any value or sustain loyalty in the end-to-end process making air travel more drudgery than pleasure.
Gate agent was unhelpful for handicapped boarding. Flight attendant seemed untrained.
No service flight that took 5 hrs and a stop at an unscheduled airport. Crew and pilots did their jobs
Packed flight, which makes it tough on crew and boarding staff (and the customers of course). But this was great boarding, clear instructions, etc. Traveling on the weekends are always fraught with danger as you have families and less frequent flyers thus more confusion. But this flight went as planned.
Boarded early, left early, arrived 40 mins early! A win win for me!
MY FAMILY'S LUGGAGE WAS LOST FROM ROME TO BARI. I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT RECEIVED MY LUGGAGE FROM ROME TO BARI. AFTER DEPLANING IN BARI, WE WASTED A LOT OF TIME AT BAG CLAIMS LOST AND FOUND REPORTING THE CLAIM AND PLEADING FOR THE BAGS TO BE DELIVERED THE NEXT DAY. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT TAKES 3 DAYS MINIMUM TO DELIVER. MY DAUGHTER AND MY GIRLFRIEND NEEDED THEIR PERSONAL THINGS AND WE WERE STAYING 3 HOURS AWAY FROM THE BARI AIRPORT. WE HAD TO DRIVE 3 HOURS TO THE AIRPORT TO COLLECT OUR LOST LUGGAGE THE NEXT DAY. WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE EXPERIENCE
We had a delay, but thankfully I made it to my connection. Overall it went smooth
Friendliest Flight Attendant I’ve seen since I flew on Southwest Airlines. The whole trip was outstanding…and arrived Early!
Left an hour and a half after the listed time. Up side was it had TV screens on the seat.
Great flight. Got to watch a movie. Smooth flight and early arrival at ORD.
Fine. The issues I had were associated with luggage being delayed from Turkey to Tanzania
I've been flying American mostly, and it's been very frustrating. This united flight makes me realize maybe the issue isn't flying, but the airline. United was a significantly better experience. The plane was more comfortable, with a normal amount of leg room (vs the ridiculous reductions AA has made), more comfortable seats, screens to watch movies. It was a much better experience!
We had excellent customer service despite the chaos at George Bush airport in Houston!
The plane was large, not full, but one with 3 seats near each window and 4 in a row in the middle of the plane. There were screens on the backs of the seats for entertainment and information. To use the entertainment one needs ear plugs that physically plug into the screen. My husband had some he let me use as I only had blue tooth type. The stewards gave out some headphones to some, but when my neighbor asked for some, the steward said no. So maybe they ran out? Idk. Bring the old kind of headphones or earbuds if you want entertainment in case this is the type of entertainment offered. We had a very tight connection in Miami. 43 minutes. The other economy passengers allowed us to get ahead of them because I asked if we could since we were near boarding time for our next flight and 35 gates away. They were extremely kind. First class wasn’t going to allow us to pass through. We did make the next flight. Our baggage didn’t, but they were delivered to us the next day and we were prepared with essentials in our carry on packs.
Everything went as planned. The only issue I had was with the gate C31 attendant. The person could barely speak English and was very difficult to understand.
They made nearly everyone check their bag because the overhead bins are way too small. Extremely inconvenient
Was put into a seat right behind the toilet that had no entertainment possible but did have plenty of leg room over noisy part of plane.
Movies on my phone are great. It would be nice to have a gluten free snack option.
They lost my baggage and I am still struggling to the information and update
Flight delays for communication overall not a good experience uncomfortable on the plane. Person in front of me reclined his seat, putting them inches from my lap.
Cancelled BOYH legs of our flight home 30 min before initial boarding
The flight was delayed about an hour for a maintenance specialist to approve the maintenance repair
This flight was delayed but it worked in my favor because my Atlanta to Dallas flight was delayed.
