Anything to make the customer experience better. Stop cancelling flights like people traveling have nothing better to do than have their life plans halted. People go to great lengths to get time off work, make plans at the end of their flights, make travel plans, go through the nightmare of checking in at busy stressful airports, make pick up arrangements only to have the rug pulled out from under them. Flying has become so miserable now!! The flights were delayed ONLY with American Airlines. The disorganization is sickening. After the flight being delayed multiple times, when the flight was finally broadcast that it was a go, EXCEPT, they were now waiting for flight attendants. They had plenty of time to plan this, what the heck?! Missed both connecting flights because it was so delayed. I vowed to never fly American Airlines again, did it and BOY was it a mistake!!! American Airlines ranks with United as two worst airlines.
Potatoes were not cooked in the pork potato meal. Flight attendants were great in first class.
I paid extra to choose my seat. I chose a window seat. I don’t know if it was a disconnect between KAYAK or the airline but when we got to the airport, the seat was changed to a middle seat. Didn’t notice it til at the gate. I called wanted a refund and was told that I didn’t choose the seat even though on my KAYAK reservation it showed seat 12 A. So I paid extra for seat selection, but didn’t get it. And also did not get a refund. I specifically pay the extra for a seat selection. I normally am very happy with Alaska Airlines. They are usually in my top three of choices.
The plane smelled like an aquarium. Many passengers noted it smelled like fish. We then sat on the plane for over 2 hours before taking off
Worst travel day of my life. First bumped from our 7am flight—that we booked to ensure enough time to get to Chicago and get ready to go to a concert. Ended up on a flight 5hours later only to arrive in Chicago and spend 2 hours sitting in the tarmac. Missed the concert ($650 in tickets) and was too late to cancel the hotel ($500). I did receive a $200 voucher for the next Alaska ticket—soooo generous 👎. Would LOVE if Alaska reimbursed the $1000+that I am out!
Only issue is that when you board last they make you check your carry on due to lack of space. Did not care for that.
5 1/2 hour trip. Nice plane. easy boarding. Could have used a bit more beverage service but it was a red eye flight and they didn't want to wake everyone.
When I booked with Kayak, I paid extra for a window seat for the long flight, so I could sleep more easily. But when I checked in, they changed my seat to a middle seat. This happened on both long flights to and from Chicago to Anchorage. For one flight, upon request they changed my seat back to a window seat. For the other, they would not and said the Alaska Airlines does not allow seat requests.....just disappointing.
To start with the plane was delayed for five hours and it messed up my whole night and the rest of my trip.we never got any notification that it was going to be late ,but they did say be at the airport early as they’are expecting long tsa lines, I usually fly delta,but my brother talked me into flying Alaska ,so i got my education the hard way.i bought three tickets for this flight and I think it was way too much for the hassle it caused me.
Plane was very cold, but other than that, it was a perfect flight
Requested an aisle seat at the gate and got it. The staff so friendly
Flight was very delayed so I was able to get on an earlier flight via stand-by. Crew communicated effectively around delay and worked to make customers comfortable. Wifi was ok, streaming TV was great. App functionality broke down once I was moved to stand-by on earlier flight.
Sat in the tarmac at O’Hare for 65 minutes. This is a regular occurrence for delta at O’Hare
Delta was fine though my flight was delayed 4 hours into LGA and my return into ORD involved a taxi of 1+ hour to the gate
It was as good as it could be. Flying is not a pleasant experience these days.
There was an unruly family behind us that made the short flight miserable!!! The cabin crew did nothing to contain it.
Flight delay was frustrating, also you cannot checkin online without delta app, web browser check-in throw errors
Got on the plane and sat there for an hour before departure.
Very large passenger too space from my own seat. Arm board couldn’t be lowered because of his size. It wads very uncomfortable trip, as the flight was full couldn’t move anywhere having back pain because of the position in which I was the entire flight.
Cramped seating for me. Luckily it wasn’t a long flight
When booking, the connection times seem fine. But in reality, my two connections were cut short by the first leg being delayed due to issues at the destination (too much traffic going into SFO, ORD) and it became extremely stressful.
Flight and crew were great. Need more legroom and do not allow seats to recline.
We arrived to Chicago nearly 30 minutes early, which was great, but then was on the ground for over an hour because the gate was not available. The issue I had was the pilot estimation was frustrating. First he said he was informed it would be 20 minutes but he said "it will probably be more like 10 minutes". After 30 minutes he came back on the comm and said it would be another 10 minutes, maybe 20. I understand he was only giving estimates but he also layered in his own gut feel. We were never told why we didn't have a gate even after our scheduled entry.
Just sat on the run way after we arrived early
Stored my cloth purse under seat in front off me as instructed. When I retrieved it, half of it was soaked, along with everything inside it. I don’t really know how that could have been prevented because the area did not look wet, but I was not happy about it.
Phx - ORD was nice 737 with starlink and the ORD - grr was ancient bare bones airbus with not even a power port lol
It was easy to board, and the staff was friendly and helpful. What could have been better is that I shouldn't have to pay extra for a seat that doesn't recline.
Was on the plane sitting longer than the actual flight in air was, boarded at 5:45p and didn't take off until 6:50p flight was only about 30 minutes long. Just was poor experience will booking more with American Airlines.
The couple in front of me were constantly talking over the announcement from the captain and this was annoying me.
The first leg of my trip the Republic Airlines aircraft was late due to a maintenance problem. Then I called United to reroute. Their reroute airline lost my bag but found it and returned it two days later. Hopefully my return trip home is better.
It was close to its perfect the flake could be took off early, landed early, didn’t have to wait for my daughter stroller luggage came out quick, very efficient, very good flight
The amount of gate changes and delays is completely unacceptable. This has happened on 3 of 4 trips between Chicago and Dallas in 2026.
The delay update was very late. I had a stressful short connection and RAN through Chicago to get to the next flight, only to find the plane wasn't at the gate yet an nobody was boarding. I would not have had to run if the delay was updated earlier.
No flight delays. No need to rebook to make connections. Enjoyed second leg of flight on Iberia.
Same the delay was not ideal and the credits to move flights was not sufficient
No food on 4.5 hour flight, wi-fi did not work. Terrible experience for a long haul flight.
The crew were diligent about ensuring that our pet dog remained in his carrier for the entire flight, as is their mandate. I wish that mandate was changed so that our poor, scared pets can be comforted during a flight, whereas service animals get to stay out and about for the whole flight. Thank you.
first leg from san diego to chicago, only had cookies for snack. 1 flavor of sparkling water chicago to washington dc had option of cookies, pretzels, or gold fish. had 2 flavors of sparkling water. 2nd flight better however the best part was there was no delays!!! Got to chicago and washington dc early. That was wonderful!!!!
Business class flight attendant was very good. But our flight was delayed two hours for a “mechanical” bathroom issue that literally took 5 minutes to fix. Our plane landed early from its previous flight but still waited for a mechanic to show up to fix an obvious minor issue for almost three hours. This caused us to miss our connecting flight. They put us up in a Days Inn that was 17 miles away from the airport that took a half hour of driving just to get to and this was at 11pm at night. Then when we finally got back on a plane after a full day delay they left our luggage back in the airport. This was an international flight, so no luggage or belongings after flying 8 hours to a different country. We will NEVER fly American Airlines again.
Check in agent was helpful and nice. Flight was OK. Our flight in Chicago was delayed 8 hours without an explination. This was our journey home. After a horrible flight experience on on the way to our vacation where our plane was diverted for an emergency medical issue, was grounded for hours, we missed our connecting flight by 25 minutes, and it took a day yo get re-booked, this was yet another bad experience that American seemed unwilling to help out with, much less compensate us for the
