Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Boston to Washington 
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesBOS-SEAOct 2024
Flying Alaska Airlines from Boston to Seattle was an example of getting exactly what you expect. A no-frills basic experience, but one where the important things were accomplished, timely departure, on-time arrival, no drama, no glitches, completely as anticipated. I paid a little extra for one offered perk (seat selection), and I'm glad I did because my early morning flight was full. Next time, I'll likely pre-order a snack, since they looked good, were served promptly, and are priced right.

It’s a good choice. Seattle airport is huge and confusing if you are changing planes. Have plenty of time to switch.

Very nice as always. Not that it’s anyone’s fault really but for some reason the seat (16C) was really hard…. Not typical for your planes… dunno what or why… maybe it was just me ?, The flight was great otherwise

Very nice as always. Not that it’s anyone’s fault really but for some reason the seat (16C) was really hard…. Not typical for your planes… dunno what or why… maybe it was just me ?, The flight was great otherwise

My experience was great with Alaska Airlines. They were very helpful when I was checking in. The flight crew was very helpful with our needs.

Crew members were friendly, but I wouldn’t use “entertaining” to describe them. Exact step by step instructions on getting wi-fi on the phone would be helpful.

Ease of reservations, confirmation. Cramped seating, very, very uncomfortable! Claustrophobic.

I loved that the checking in process was seamlessly easy and user friendly. The crew was very nice and professional. Unfortunately, we were seated in the back of the plane across from the bathroom. There wasn’t much room for leg room and comfortability. Alongside, we had to listen to a baby crying up and down the aisle way for the entire plane ride. The turbulence of the plane landing was rocky. Overall, the experience with Alaska was just okay. We made it home alive so that’s always a positive.

My husband unfortunately had a very large lady next to him who did not fit in the seat and had to have the armrest up so she was partially in his seat and she also had horrible BO

I liked the legroom even in row 26! I fell asleep immediately and slept the whole flight.

delayed flight 3 hours, then took 45 min to get to gate and another 10 min to open door

The plane was put out of service and had to wait for a new plane to be assigned. No one had any information and the information on the screens was never updated. The call wait time was 2 hours and the estimated time for text assistance was 55 minutes which was a lie because after 55 minutes nothing happened. I understand that delays happen but to not have anyone available to provide any update or reassurance was just negligent. Also, what is the point of having an 800 number if no one answers it and don’t get me started on the text message system. Ridiculous!

Very good; ohana atmosphere and taking care of customer care

Delayed and took off even later than the scheduled delay time

Only issue was with seating. The economy fare we purchased did say there was no guarantee the three people in our party would be seated together, and we were not. At the gate, the agent told us more specifically, the fare we purchased meant we would be seated in middle seats only. This should just be made more obvious.

this crew didn't care much. bumping carts into seats more times than i care to remember

Everything was fine except the entertainment was not working for half of the flight.

There was a security issue at the airport and we were unable to land. We circled endlessly and then landed at another airfield for fuel. We then circled the airport again, almost landed but didn’t fully touch down before circling again. I am thankful to the crew for keeping us safe- the issue was the airline and staff at the airport getting us seats on our connecting flights. That part was hours of searching for someone and getting in double my steps.

Boarding was organised and relaxed. Crew were fantastic! Seats were lacking padding causing butt pain and stiffness.

I want to single out flight attendant Mitch who was in the Premium Economy section. When my wife’s hearing aide dropped through the cushion under the seat he was able to locate it and return it to her. Food was a different matter. Dinner was fine. Breakfast was another matter. They had a yogurt dish that the ran out of and the alternative was not very good according to those we talked to.

5 hours of delay that could've been much shorter if Delta had taken the 1 hour delay they imposed on the flight before boarding to run any of the plane checks required for flight to find the hydraulic issue that required nearly 3 hours to fix. $24 of meal credit buys a sandwich and a soft drink. Poor communication within the terminal about what gate we'd be re-boarding from and when we'd be re-boarding.

Great flight! Only complaint I had was that I didn’t get breakfast that morning because I don’t eat eggs for breakfast.. I ate an energy bar I bought in the airport which I had never done before. Otherwise, another great Delta flight!

Food from the flight from Atlanta to Santiago was very poor..

The flight was supposed to leave at 7:30pm, but departed 10:50pm. They kept moving departure time out every half hour. It was a 45 minute flight from n Sunday night with great weather.

Flight got delayed and it was very inconvenient . Had to come with another carrier. Had to spend one more night in San Francisco.

Logging into next flight was an issue as I never received a confirmation code

Alaska airlines is not what I expected Very disappointed Unfriendly Discouraging Very bad customer service, heartbroken trying to explain to them my situation.

I could not check in ahead of time. Kayak did not give me a proper confirmation number to check in.

I loved flying Hawaiian Air! We didn’t pay to sit together, but we were able to anyway. They had usb charging ports and even outlets in some seats. They served a hot sandwich that was not very good, but we were still pleasantly surprised. The staff was very nice. The seats really made my booty hurt but maybe I’m just not used to sitting so long. Also, the AC was really cold even though I was wearing pants, a hoodie, and a light blanket.

The crew was great, the food is decent for airline food, and we flew economy but the seats are comfortable and had plenty of room for my 15 year old son and myself. Would fly Hawaiian Airlines again for a long haul flight in a heartbeat.

A second drink service on a 6 hour flight would have been helpful.

The steward staff was particularly friendly and helpful. They smiled a lot and seemed anxious to be sure we enjoyed the flight.

Everything was good for the price I paid. Crew was very nice.

Worst flight experience ever flights canceled. JetBlue told us just did not even bother standing in line to come back in one and a half hours then without any information we had to go pick up all of our luggage and spend over $2000 in accommodation just to get home. JetBlue said that the next flight available for us to get home would be three days later. Absolutely absurd hasn’t offered to give us any compensation do not fly JetBlue horrible company. They said it was based on the weather and the weather is great in all locations that we would’ve been flying to total hoax. I think it’s a conspiracy theory.

The captain gave good announcements and the flight attendants were friendly. The WiFi was pretty good. The plane itself looked very old inside and the seats were very uncomfortable. The screens in the seat backs were the smallest I’ve ever seen. There were so many loud and obnoxious kids on this flight and the parents didn’t do much to try to quiet them down. Some had videos and games on tablets with higher than necessary volume going the whole time.

Too many long delays with JetBlue. Worst major airline that serves JFK but unfortunately I keep going back because of the prices.

My JetBlue experience was nice. The flights ran on time, the aircraft was clean and comfortable, and the flight attendants were attentive. My only issue, which is isolated to the low-cost (budget) option at JetBlue, is that the check in process makes the user feel that they have to buy their seats. The seats offered for purchase are upgrades from the budget seats you get (which are essentially the last seats remaining). The interface should not make it feel like you must purchase a seat.

The plane was late to leave.. Internet was lousy. TV was not working. when we arrived, We stayed on the plane for a long time before we got to the gate. It took us a long time to retrieve our luggage because they didn’t know what carousel to send them to. It was a bad experience.

I especially liked the lead crew officer. His boarding and safety announcements were made with a bit of novelty and humor. The flight also left the gate 10 minutes early and we landed about 20 minutes early… It was a delightful flight…

There were mutliple delays. There was inconsistent, delayed, and poor communication regarding the delays.

Spend hours delayed with no food, water anything sitting on the aieplane with no ability to eat or use the restroom. My entire experience was the absolute worst. I will never fly jet Blue again.

It would have been nice if they had offered more than one set of snacks

Seats were not too comfortable; it was impossible to locate the underseat power outlet.

Flight was delayed. Staff at the gate effectively and proactively communicated about the delay.

Very poor delay in dfw was really bad n long

Our flight was 1.5 hours delayed. There was no weather for the inbound flight, so I don't understand why. This meant a VERY late arrival and only a quick nap before my morning flight.

Because of rescheduling, they had to put me on a flight that didn't go through Dallas

It was very difficult to stretch my knee out and I am very short. I also had a torn tendon in my knee which made it extra uncomfortable anyways. My husband is 6'2" and I can't imagine him flying in that plane.

3 hour weather delay followed by 1 hour (and counting) maintenance delay. UGH!

Couldn’t get the door on the plane to close leading to a nearly 2 hour delay. But, hey at least they didn’t cancel the flight.

Flight was cancelled 3 hrs AFTER etd. Thetefore Missed connection from JFK to New Zealand . No accommodation provided… This cost ne aporox 1000 USD in extra expenses and turned whst should have been a 24 hr trip ftom Boston - New Zealand into a VERY expensive , late 70+ hr nightmare … Complete nonsense!!!

After we'd boarded , they canceled the flight. The crew didn't even know , we just all received text messages. Then after they deplaned us , AA was just like "too bad, go F your self, we sure ain't gonna help you"

The flight got delayed 2.5 hrs due to a maintenance issue that cause a domino effect. American should have spare planes for when something like this happens.
