I bought the cheapest ticket. No meal, no checked luggage so I didn't expect much and was surprised by how good the flight and service was. Alaska is now my favorite airline.

While the flight and the legroom was good boarding took a long time. The different groups Boarding made no sense as those in the back of the flight boarded last causing delays as people try to find room for their luggage in the upper bins. While there were plenty of seats on the flights We were spaced so that some rows were filled and others were empty. My first flight was very crowded and uncomfortable. On the way back both flights did not have Wi-Fi nor the entertainment package. We were only made aware of this a few hours before the flight. Since the flight was in the morning, I was asleep and was not able to download Books or other media to my phone. This is my first time flying Alaska airlines and I will admit to thinking twice before I do so again.

I did not like anything about that flight. The check in at the gate was horrible. The inflight service was bad and WiFi was not available for me to be able to entertain myself since it was a long flight.

dont re-route to San Jose. Re-route to closer airport. Provide shuttle bus to go to SFO, not just LYFT vouchers.

The flight crew was super friendly. All flights were on-time. Everything went smoothly!

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

only refreshments and biscuits available but it was a short flight from LAX to LAS thus it was fine.

On check in, the agent would not accept the credit card that I booked the flight on to pay for a checked luggage. It had the agency name that I work for on it, but my flight was booked on it so it did not make sense. So I used my personal CC. Then they could not give me a receipt for the checked baggage, and directed me to go to Alaskaair.com and find my way around to print up a receipt for my expenses. Should have been a lot more customer friendly for something so simple.

Flight got delayed by 2 hrs and the reason was not communicated then second leg got cancelled and the airline couldn’t rebook me with a different airline, I had to do it myself and pay more out of pocket.

I really like the wifi movie option. It made the 4 hrs flight go by fast.

SO disappointing. I spent so much money on this ticket, for them to cancel and not be able to rebook me in time. They were very unhelpful, and condescending throughout the whole Swiss airport. Will not be flying again.

Super friendly crew. Leg space and entertainment system are below average

The plane was so hot upon boarding. Their boarding process was so unnecessarily long. Service was subpar.

There were multiple delays and the food was poor. Better food.

Wheelchair was the excellent service. I didn’t have any food or used entertainment. Overall for my trip experience was excellent. Thank you very much and keep up good work. Best regards

Motivated and friendly crew on a somewhat dated but well kept plane. Hd seats in economy may section, so legroom was excellent.

Thank you to the cordial crew and good hydration throughout the flight, food was good too. Carry ons usually weight by themselves so it does reduce option for cold weather clothes that are heavy, so carryon weight is tight.

United Airlines flights serviced by Swiss Airlines provide for zero communication with Swiss Airlines almost impossible to contact Swiss airlines to make seat selection, upgrades or changes. I won’t do that again if it can be helped.

The two meals were plentiful and excellent. The drinks were continuous. Thanks, Crew very polite; however a bit "hazard" at the end as they were rushing us off; to prepare for the cleaning team and next flight. Baggage from Berlin was delayed; however through the apps etc; they kept me aware and informed.(.did receive my baggage about 36 hours after my flight arrival). Good experience; thank you.

Swiss Air rerouted me at the last minute and lost my luggage. At this time they still have not been able to locate it.

Boarding - It is unclear where the line for the group are given the signs. A solution would be a diagonal arrow pointing to the lane in which the lane for boarding of a given zone should form. As it is now, you are guessing which side of the pole the "zone 3" sign is telling you to form the line. Inflight Entertainment - The Spanish subtitles function didn't work for movie watching (in fact, all subtitles didn't work), so was difficult to follow along and I watched the movie in silence without words.

Some entertainment and food/snack service would have been nice

1 hour waiting for suitcases to come out traveling in business class and food in business class is a sandwich? Avoid Aeromexico .

Aeromexico es siempre una buena opción, relación precio calidad adecuada!

Business class was economy with a table in the middle seat. That is worse than economy. No food and no entertainment. Very poor representation.

Newer plane with large seats. No meal, but snacks were plentiful. Inflight entertainment was good but movies were dated.

Cons: "boarding, we were told the flight was overbooked and we would have to wait for another flight"
Cons: "left Houston more than 2 hours later, arrive in Mexico over 2 am"
Cons: "El problema es que nunca pude cambiar mi vuelo y con ustedes fue imposible comunicarse para que me auxiliaran. Muy mal por ustedes no por la línea."
Pros: "The crew was amazing , the site is ok"
Cons: "I love Aeroméxico , thanks for de service and the food."

Nothing beats ANA customer service on my opinion. Maybe because of their Japanese culture (and food). Arigatō

Good dinner and nice plane.Smootz flight. Breakfast had no sweet option. Seats hardly reclined.

Flight was delayed by 3 hours. The pilot made up 1 hour during the flight, but that made the wait at the airport 5 hours once you factor getting there 2 hours early.

We waited too long to get water while the plane was on the Tarmac awaiting de-icing.

Got automatically assigned a middle seat, unless I fork out extra money for seat assigment.

Boarding went well, staff was friendly. Food was not goods at all. I had ordered vegan meal. The seat I picked didn’t have storage area in the front and so had to put my small back pack at the top.my flight to Bangalore from Munich, the tv was broken so I got complimentary wifi which never worked. Food there too wasn’t good. I had paid extra for the seats. The only good thing is that the fact we have a flight direct from Charlotte to Bangalore with one stop in Munich!

Nothing bad to say about the actual crew or airline. It was nice to have a complimentary FULL can of soda, as well as a snack. Blankets and earbuds were also provided at no cost for this red eye flight. I especially appreciated the free WiFi and movie selection with the Bluetooth option. It helped the flight pass more quickly. No matter who you fly, boarding and disembarking are always SUCH a pain. As I mentioned, this is on the passengers and not the crew!!

Seat didn't recline all the way back. Very uncomfortable flight for 8 hours. The turbulence eliminated snack and food stops

One the best cabin crew team we have ever had (I have flown globally for more than 2 million miles), food was good and wines choices were great.⁰

Crew less experienced, not happy face , don’t know how process works

Not sure why JAL partnered with American Airlines because their service is no where near similar. Flight attendants were not friendly and didn’t smile. Food was horrible…

Flight was fine. It took an unusually long time to have baggage delivered to the carousel in ORD.

The only poor experience was the flight the day before was canceled. I have flown enough to change as soon as notified. That was a huge plus for AA. Obviously I paid out of pocket for a hotel. Not AA choice , it was mine. I had resources. Other friends on the same flight were more affected. I know everyone is doing their best and the ability to change my flight was a good move AA.😀

Delayed flight, few announcements with information, no comps, cluster f boarding because zones weren’t spread out and announced loud and repeatedly, staff did their job -nothing more nothing less, annoying kids were speaking and kicking the heck out of the back of my seat and parents weren’t willing to parent… so another typical day of air travel in the US.,

Flight was canceled and then rescheduled on another flight. Paid for first class but moved to the back of the plane. Then put up in the worst/dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. American Airlines should be ashamed of putting their passengers/customers in a place that filthy.

Let's give credit where due: this is JAL's flight, not American's. And nothing is going to make 12+ hours in the air truly enjoyable. That said, the cabin crew was solicitous and friendly, the Japanese food excellent. The business class seats on the 787 were a little claustrophobic in bed mode -- one felt like one was lying at the bottom of a canyon -- and seat and light controls are not conveniently placed -- but comfortable enough. Restrooms were spotless and well-stocked throughout the flight. The Business Class lounge at Narita is very comfortable and quiet -- my one caveat is that a broader selection of food, including some Western selections, would have been welcome.

We appreciated that the AA agent at the check in desk was aware that we might not make our connecting flight from Liberia to Miami due to delays. He immediately got us on an earlier flight, which meant less time in the airport and the ability to catch our flight home. Without him, we might had to spend a night in Miami, which we could not do due to work schedules once we got home. This action is what made this flight sequence excellent.

My trip was delayed for more than 3 hours without any explanation. Also I have a business meeting that I lost.

Crowed but safe flight and arrived at my destination on time

The flight was on time, boarding process good. Good value flight.
