Alaska Airlines was fantastic. Kayak on the other hand was extremely poor. I got tickets through Kayak for a flight to a funeral. The date got changed less than 12 hours after I made my reservations. When I attempted to change my flights through Kayak, I was unable to use either the website or the phone system. The phone matrix did not give an option to cancel or change. The website said Kayak could not find any record of me making airline reservations through Kayak and even through I never left the Kayak website when making the reservations to my knowledge. After more than a half hour of frustration on the phone and computer ( on top of dealing with the death of a member of my family) I finally contacted Alaska Airline directly and they cancelled my flight and refunded the cost very quickly and efficiently. Alaska Airlines gets 10 stars. Kayak gets zero stars and has permanently lost a customer. I will never use Kayak again.

Assigned last seat in row Did not recline at all Alaska Air seemed to have more leg room than my last few flights on United Yay!
Pleasant flight, now wifi, but did get pushed to the exit row gracefully cause I am a tall man. Was a pleasant thank you.
Long flights are best when the seats have movies and shows to watch.
The WIFI didn't work well enough to get through even 5 minutes of a movie I had selected (it just kept pausing and spinning), and I just gave up and read a book. The selection of movies was a little sparse though, so reading wasn't that bad of an option. This was an older 737-800, with undersized overhead bins -- but it doesn't make sense to me that we are told to slide our bags in with the wheels facing us (most people ignore that and put the handles facing us). This makes it more difficult to remove the bags (no handle). The flight went well, and the fruit/cheese platter I pre-ordered was good -- although it is a little annoying to have to pre-order for this (but I suppose it saves time). When I pre-order it automatically gets charged to my personal credit card (Alaska VISA), when I'd prefer to use my corporate card for that on business trips.
Good - San Jose security is a breeze. Exact opposite of San Diego. Flight on time. Bad - FA's were not that cheery or polite. I thought we may blow out a tire as the pilot slammed down a hard landing in perfect conditions. He came in pretty hot like he had a date waiting.
I usually choose Alaska Airlines over any other airline. They try the hardest to make flying a great experience.
Staff being friendly would have help since the flight was delayed, again. Folks answered questions but no one seemed happy to be working today and if showed.
It was our baby’s first flight and everything went perfect. The flight attendant gave him his first set of wings and we were smooth flying from there.
Quick easy boarding. Airport was unprepared for early landing and we were waiting in the plane for 20 minutes before getting a gate.
Due to one crew member not showing up to work, our flight was significantly delayed causing us to miss our connecting flight in Houston to Mississippi causing us to be delayed by more than 6 hours and missing our event all together. Very disappointing. All because ONE crew member called in sick. United did grant us a $15 meal voucher, which was a small but appreciated concession that I wasn’t able to use because I ordered my lunch and paid for it before applying the concession, and the staff said it was too late to use it. Ugh! We also had a TWO delay coming back from Mississippi, but that was on American Airlines and it was due to weather, so not their fault. Anyway, not at all impressed with United’s handling of our flight and the HUGE disappointment of missing our important family event for our 90 year old mother. All that money and all that stress and emotions for nothing. Having to wait the hour to bring an employee from LAX seemed like something that should not have happened. Why don’t you have a local back-up? Santa Ana is not a little airport in a rural area.
Trip was smooth bumpy from the wind but no issues at all the crew attendant was very pleasant and had great customer service
The customer service was excellent! Check-in, baggage check-in, boarding, the flight went very smooth.
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
It was delayed several hours which delayed our connection in Denver. Not happy.
Ok, but comfort was lacking as the seats were way to small
All good except paid for wifi that did not work
Some of these FA’s need attitude check. Snarky bitches
The plane boarded and deplaned twice before the crew timed out. Flight was 7 hours late departing. Horrible experience!
Got automatically assigned middle seats unless you fork out extra money for a seat assignment, not impressed.
this is starting to seem like an american airlines standard. delayed flights and fake apologies… getting tired of it
Flight boarded without pilots. Sat on plane for 3 hrs. after over an hour late boarding. Plane never took off. Had to deplane near midnight. Line for rebooking was 3 hours + long. I had to leave.
Missed the flight because of them and up geting a rental car
Delayd flight out of atl as always miss my conection in dfw no flight untill next day
No problems with flight. Even though I had a short layover in DFW, I was still able to easily make my connection.
Good flights. Departure and arrivals were on time. DFW was a little problematic in that the Skytrain without prior notice bypassed the Echo terminal so that delayed my arrival at my connecting flight.
Late boarding to clean plane from previous flight; initial boarding announcement not loud enough; fantastic cabin attendant front of plane
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.,
Gossipy flight attendants talked the whole flight about bar hopping and dating.
Turbulence was bad and flight attendants gossiped about going to the bar and dating. Could have better awareness.
