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.
The flight attendant and first class were very friendly, efficient, and wanted to make sure that service was great. Highly recommend this airline.
Comfortable seats, good drinks with lots of water refills, staff was kind and understanding of my disabled mother!
The crew seem untrained and uncertain no one ever checked up on us in our first class cabin. I had to ask for water four times and the lady kept saying she was busy when they weren't really doing anything. Had to walk to the back of the plane to get water for myself. Crew seem new and unexperience. You can tell this by the fumbling they kept making trying to fight. (I miss Hawaiian air.)
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!
SW can't get their wifi right. I upgrade to insure wifi service but the last two trips had intermittent service. Not worth the extra costs.
The flight was late. The crew was rude. There was no food. Cramped and uncomfortable. Nothing about this flight was good.
The crew was very kind and made going to Hawaii relaxing and fun to look forward to! Thank you Southwest for a pleasant flight!
I liked the crew member who gave flight instructions on "in case of a problem:. The seats are so small that only a young teenager could sit in middle seat.
I recently flew Southwest from San Jose to Honolulu. I was very impressed with the flight crew, especially the flight attendant in charge of the front of the plane. She came through the aisle at least five times for drinks and water, and two times for snacks. I have not seen such service since I flew first class. Also, for the first time, they gave us the correct baggage claim number, and the luggage came out quickly. I can't wait for Southwest to have assigned seating! I absolutely hate the Cattle Call boarding procedure and the mad dash to get seats and overhead bins. However, the boarding was efficient.
Much better than the.last. flight on SW on Thanksgiving day
Unfortunately it was not a good experience. There was a rude stewardess.
Boarding was well explained and smooth. The flight was short, so there was no time for snacks. They did offer water or juice, though.
The flight was very short, 45 mins, therefore no snacks/drinks were provided; there should be a NA option for food and entertainment survey questions. Also, there were no charging ports onboard for cell phones. My experience was overall positive.
Price was right. Add power to the seats, television, larger plane to accommodate a long flight to improve mental health and overall comfort for a 5 hour flight.
My service light was on 15 minutes before I had to get up and find a glass of ice. And I was in business class. The meals were not for either my wife and I. She did not eat the entire 10 hour flight and I managed a bowl of soup. I was expecting much more from business with what we paid.
My business class seat was inoperable and unable to recline for 10 hour flight.
Crew was nice, meal was good. Entertainment had to be rebooted 3 times and still did not work. Turns out there was residue on screen, it needed to be cleaned to prevent the touchscreen buttons from continuously activating. I had entertainment for the last 45 minutes of a 5 hour 45 minute flight. Really unacceptable for first class. Flight attendent indicated your cleaning solution creates this problem. Seems as if this is widely known, you should be using a different product or cleaning better. Really really disappointing which simply added to the wi fi on your planes with reliably never ever works.
Landed without a gate ready. Plane is extremely old and dirty.
My tray was broken so i had no place to work or eat except my lap. Flight attendant said I would get an email with some credit or miles, it was a complete waste of time as I could only function at about 20% of normal. I have not received anything yet.
The tray table was broken and the food was terrible.
Long flight but comfortable and not freezing as I have experienced on Hawaiian flights to the islands. They gave us blankets just in case. Nice touch.
I wish the inflight entertainment system options were broader, but overall this was a fantastic crew and I can’t express how cheerful, welcoming, and attentive they were.
Awful - both legs. The check in was awful, getting on the plane required walking down a spiral staircase (dangerous), then taking a bus about 5 miles out from the terminal. The seat was broken (I was in business), there was no internet during the flight (both legs). The aircraft was very old. I saw rust in some place, tape holding things up in the bathroom. This was an unacceptable experience for such a long haul flight.
I paid for a business class ticket on Delta. It was sourced to Virgin Atlantic. They changed out the aircraft which had fewer upper class tickets. Even though I'd checked into the lounge, was receiving alerts via kayak about the delay and changes; no one informed me that the seat would be changed - until I attempted to board and was told that I would have an economy seat or they could search to put me on another airline. Even the flight crew were informed of this change (10 passengers were bumped out of Upper Class) around 2 pm (1400) time. Hours would have helped to consider alternatives instead of making a last minute change. There needs to be compensation from both Delta and Virgin given this change in service/experience.
The flight from HON to Hilo caused a few problems, but we were helped by the checking agent at Hawaiian Airlines with tech assistance. My wife & I are in our 70's and not QR code savvy. But we are learning.
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.
2nd flight of the day, delayed from the 1st flight being inoperable, and then this one was delayed 45 mins too.
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!
Overall, the experience was good, but not special in any way. Fortunately, the flight was quite short. There was no one at the check-in kiosks to answer questions or help. The top of my armrest fell off when I grabbed it to stand up. One hates to see the plane falling apart!
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.
The crew was quick and efficient. The flight was uneventful and arrived slightly early.
The flight left over an hour late and sat on the runway another half an hour or so.
Flight cancelled instead of leaving Friday am now, maybe, leaving Sunday
Check in was chaotic with only one counter for business class and first class. The luggage conveyor belt at JFK airport was broken so the flight departure was delayed which made the flight stressful as I had a tight connection. Although the captain said they could make up the delay, they didn’t do so.
Lost of requested seat assignments. Lost my husband's meal choice
Staff were not attentive, wifi did not work, cut my head in the bathroom due to the position of the soap on the sink, had blood running down my face, told staff, they had no expression no sympathy, didn't even say "sorry", they said "oh we will have a look at that" about 10 mins later the purser brought me a bandaid, still no sorry.... Shocking
My food prefer was confirmed by email 2x and still the crew claim they had no pre-order. I taken ill while in India so I needed to avoid Indian sauces and spices, so the problem with the preorder was unacceptable. Additionally, is there a new rule to automatically not to disturb passengers? I would like this as an option. Lastly, for breakfast I needed to avoid Indian and I’m allergic to eggs.. therefore the only option was pancakes and guess what was not available!!!
Terrific in every way. On time, professional staff, multiple movie options to select, great food and drink.
Crew was friendly and competent. Food, wine, and entertainment were excellent except the raw tuna on the flight to Split. Recommend against serving that - at least as the only option. Many medical conditions do not allow people to eat raw fish.
It's a long flight and I would have liked better snacks between lunch and the arrival meal. It's fine to have fruit and nuts but I really don't like ramen because it's salty junk soup. I'd suggest sandwiches. They're not expensive nor are they hard to store for a long flight. The FA's had a couple of big services and they were super busy preparing, executing and then cleaning up. Then they disappeared.
Food and drink service was very low quality. The flight attendants in business class must have been short some staff. Service was sluggish and not much English was spoken
Flight to Japan was was better across the board than the return to USA. Entertainment: Movie selection was old and not to my liking. Way too many woke choices. Not enough selections for sports or drama. Service: some of the crew were great. Not all. I paid for business class. a premium. Some of the crew thought they 'had' t do there job instead of wanting to serve and be polite. Food: Way to Japan was good. Way back to USA bad. Boarding: Wat out did not offer Business only; had to go thru general. If you pay for business, you should get business perks. Suggest you look for other than United for travel to Asia
