Alaska Airlines demonstrated their insensitivity and lack of compassion when I asked for an emergency rescheduling/cancellation due to a dire family emergency. My father was in the Hospital ICU with a terminal prognosis with no other family in the state to help manage the situation and I called AA to ask whether something could be done about moving my flight to a later date, but the AA agent on the phone was firm in not offering any alternative other than to tell me I had to eat the entire cost of the flight. I did not appreciate having to manage that loss on top of juggling time-sensitive matters with my family as my father and I dealt with his life-threatening emergency. I'm very disappointed in the airline for not even attempting to provide assistance other than to quickly shut me down completely. I was really shocked with their treatment of the matter and unlikely to use their airline again.
The flight was canceled and dumped everyone in Albany. I still haven’t received reimbursement for transportation for getting to NYC or appropriate compensation for the cancelled flight.
Alaska airlines agent helped me greatly to reschedule my flight. The flight was also very comfortable and the flight attendants were very friendly.
The final trip home wasn’t as bad as the trip there. Even with the paid upgrade the comfort level was mediocre at best.
Terrible. After boarding we sat on the runway for 1.5 hours "25th in line to take off" ... Alaska Air is on 7th terminal , far away from rest of airport
Better sinage at check-in counter on lines for baggage check in and boarding pass check in, specfically at JFK. It was a mess to figure and wasted a lot of people's time.
Major flight delays, it was a 1.5-hour delay. The gate kept changing about 3 times in Seattle. very hectic and chaotic.
I am shocked at how utterly mediocre the First Class experience was on Alaska Airlines- I really expected better. There was a delay with the food delivery, so we sat on the plane for an extra 30 minutes- not once during that time was I, nor anyone else in First Class offered anything at all, not even water. There's no tv or entertainment available? Really? In modern day? And the Wifi was $8 for the connection that actually works, but free for the connection that didn't work at all? What century is this? While friendly, the staff seemed to be much more concerned with their own personal time while working- listening to headphones, on their phones until someone needed them, I'm so disappointed I can't even believe I was able to find these words.
The plane was delayed for over an hour because of a family who didn't speak English, and didn't understand what was asked of them. While I understand the delay, I thought it was unfair to keep us all waiting for over an hour to get to our destination and a better approach should've been exercised.
It was a very uncomfortable flight. Completely full with an unnecessarily slow boarding process. Zero entertainment on a flight that was longer than 5 hrs. Based of this experience I would not recommend this airline to friends and family.
