Great airline service by the staff. I highly recommend it
Time to upgrade those planes so you can provide first class.
My experience with Underpricer was not great. The representative assigned to me did not tell me beforehand that selecting seats, which i could not do through ANZ, WOULD ADD SIGNIFICANT cost to my ticket (all flight segments were reg economy seats. The seat selections for the ticket, MCI-AKL, AKL-PER, PER-MCI, cost $284 USD. I WAS NOT TOLD AHEAD OF SELECTING SEATS chosen by the rep OF THE COSTS and never received an itemized invoice of the seat selections.). The costs of seat selection, an option solicited as a service, with no mention of costs, should have been disclosed to me prior to seat selection and certaily should have been itemized. For all I know, the $284 was not referred from the airline but made up and taken directly by Underpricer. Next, when i checked in, united couldnt find my ticket. This is probably why i didnt get a seat selection on that flight and couldnt check in online, despite Underpricer prompts to do so a week before departure, or at the kiosk at the airport. I had to wait for special help at the counter, then was told that because the flight segment, MCI-IAH, operated by United Airlines via the ANZ. ticket, had changed schedule slightly since I BOOKED MY FLIGHT, the MCI-IAH segment had been decoupled from the rest of the ticket because the IAH layover was now 12.5 hrs AND DID NOT QUALIFY AS A THROUGH FLIGHT TO AKL.. This meant my checked bag could not be checked through to AKL and id have to pick it up at IAH, THEN WAIT MOST OF the long layover WITH the large checked bag until ANZ counter in IAH OPENED for checkING just prior to the flight. Apparently, although underpricer had notified me of schedule changes, they did not update the ANZ TICKET, leading to this problem. Finallly, although I RECHECKED TH BAG IN At IAH 3.5-4 hours before the scheduled departure and the IAH-AKL segment was a direct flight, ANZ LOST MY bag and it took 4 days to find it and get it to me. Not fun.
The flight was smooth and on time. Entertainment options were lacking and there was no food, other than some very boring snacks.
This flight was the second leg of a trip that began in Auckland, New Zealand. I was unable to find a way to select seats in advance. The boarding passes we were given in Auckland did not have seat assignments for the second flight. There was no way to check on it until personnel showed up at the gate in Los Angeles, immediately before boarding time. The flight was overbooked by one, and since I was traveling with my sister, we needed two seats. We waited in considerable anxiety for everyone else to board and when one person did not show up, we had to take whatever was left. At least we finally got on the flight although we were the very last to board. We were not able to sit together, of course.
We had difficulty checking in as United didn’t recognize the confirmation number and the agent was not helpful. We went to the United Assistance desk where the agent was able to process our reservation. We also weren’t allowed to choose seats in advance.
Air New Zealand over sold our flight and tried to bump us to yesterday. After several calls we got booked to United about 6 hrs before our original flight. No apologies!
Do the bumpy weather the whole trip they were very few times when the seatbelt sign wasn't on
The staff and crew on board were excellent. Business class however, was very weird. I thought we would have individual pods, but the way it was set up was unexpected. Not very private and If you wanted to lay down, you had to have an entire bed made up for you by the crew, rather than how Delta one works where you could just lie down whenever you feel like it. It was a 16 hour flight. I chose not to have my bed made, and that turned out to be a good idea because everybody who had their bed made had to wait for the crew to roll up their mattresses. So strange!
Carring crew, nice ambiance of the cabin, comfortable beds, good food well served. We liked everything.
Alaska has clean planes, modern interiors, and good service. Major drawback is the lack of IFE seat back screens. Otherwise it could really give Delta a run for its money.
My experience with Alaska Airlines was great! Crew are always friendly and attentive. Alaska Airlines goes out of their way to make guest feel appreciated.
My issue is not with Alaska for but with the travel agency. The fact that i can't change my flight online, means that using you as a travel agency is a net negative. I only do it because I am forced to, but I am not happy about it.
The plane was delayed almost 3 hours. I had a first class seat and there was no food loaded due to the late night departure (no nuts, not meal and no cookie), and the first class bathroom was out of order. Truly a disappointment all around.
Advertise the fact the passenger needs to bring own headset for entertainment. I traveled first class Seattle to Miami. Five plus hours without any entertainment. I was not impressed! Food was lackluster and quite boring. So much so I cannot remember what I had. I decided to cancel the return trip and flew on Delta instead. I can still remember the meal, beef short-ribs with mashed potato, onion gravy, and beautiful carrots. Stay away from Alaska Air!
Compared to Delta, the entertainment provided by Alaska Airlines was substandard. Use your own device with no ear phones provided.
My first time with Ak. Air, but not my last. Very pleased with the entire process. Smooth, comfortable, efficient. Thank you. Bob
I needed special assistance to the gate and from the gate to the street, and Alaska staff were wonderful - responsive, helpful, and kind. I really appreciated it.
Negotiate better gate locations- Gate 20 in San Diego felt like a 3 mile walk
My bags didn’t make my connection to LAX. It would be helpful if you alerted me to that in flight— I waited an hour (from midnight to 1AM to discover they weren’t on the carousel. Your spei on the flight says “20 minutes or miles credited” and I waited and hour!
Flight delayed two hours , missed connection flight then connection cancelled- horrible experience with hotel
Omg the disaster at the security was on another level! “Go to this end, sorry closed now, go to that end”. Ridiculous! This took over an hour! As far as the airline was concerned although I booked nearly a year ago I couldn’t get my bag tag - stand in another 15 minute line or my seat on Hawaiian Airlines- 5 more minutes! Then my TSA status was denied. Like what the heck! Makes a person not want to travel with this amount of incompetence
The Honolulu Hub needs 2 to 3 times the amount of things to do as well as shuttles that transport to/from gates and terminals. Arriving from OCONUS locations; transferring to CONUS locations its a miserable experience. Fetching and re-checking bags, then returning to a gate across the airport take longer than any other large airport. If youre confused by what I mean, the process goes like this: Disembark plane Walk a mile to the main terminal Walk half a mile to baggage claim Wait 40 minutes for baggage Walk a mile to re-check-in baggage Wait 20 minutes for checking in those bags Fo back through the wrong TSA line because the signage is poor Almost miss the connecting flight because your gate is across the airport.
The checking was disaster, the crew wasn't behave well. It took us two hours to check in, after that thr line at the TSA was long, we barely make the flight. Bad airline
We had lie flat seats, which are nice to have for overnight flights. Economy was almost empty, so many there had entire rows to themselves
The flight was fine, but the connection to the next flight was difficult. We got lost in the Incheon Airport trying to transfer to Terminal 1, and almost missed our flight since it was very difficult to find instructions on how to get there. I would have loved help from China Airlines in providing instructions how to transfer to the connecting flight.
We flew first class, and it was worth every penny for that long flight. The crew was great, the service was terrific, and we were so very comfortable. It made the flight so much better. We will fly Hawaiian again!
Hawaiian Airlines the Lounge was too crowded, and there was a long line. In the end, there was no time left, and i had to board the plane.
No Business Lounge. Couldn’t get into Lounge in HNL on flight to Asia (it was “full”) and Hawaiian has NO Lounge available at ICN for my return flight. This is unacceptable for a full-priced Business Class product. Your competitors all have nice lounges. Foul smelling entrees, skipped meal. Business class seats the worst compared to other airlines. Entertainment iPad had old movies and tv shows. Headphone jack was worn out, you had to jiggle and press connector to get any sound. Cheap quality headphones. Good selection of Hawaiian music. Good pillows and blankets. Good stowage. Good de-planing in HNL.
KAL Business Class was old seats on an old plane. Service and food were good. Connection at ICN was a slow nightmare from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. Long walks. Long train ride. Few moving walkways. Carpets hard to pull rollerbags. Literally 90 minutes from landing to long walks to long security line to more walks to departure gate. Hawaiians lists Asiana Business Class Lounge, but NO LOUNGE, that relationship is over (but still listed on Hawaiian site). Couldn’t get seat assignment on Hawaiian flight boarding pass until reaching ICN.
