The seats were incredibly small and the attendants were grumpy the whole time.
It was a tiny plane … even though I paid for upgrade, no internet… no plug ins, no entertainment… 👎🏻
Alaska continues to provide one of the best domestic US airline experiences.
I liked the fast internet and twice serving of snacks and drinks. Paid food options could have included more.
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.
I was not given a seat when I bought the ticket. I know airlines are trying to squeeze every penny out ot the customer, but we are buying a seat on the airplane, right? I find this irritating with all airlines, but especially Alaska because I fly it so often. No sense of customer use and loyalty.
It was adequate nothing special no entertain because flight was short. Crew pleasant.
Flight, itself, was good. Only one person to check people in at the gate. She was nice, but needed help. She asked several times for people to volunteer to check-in their carry-on baggage. When they finally called Group D, I volunteered, but after getting on the plane, I noticed plenty of room still left in the over-head bins. That's OK. I'm just very thankful for a safe trip.
I do not like the policy of paying up to get a seat assignment.
