We were on the ground for over 2hrs Flt scheduled to leave at 5:40pm, actual departure was at 9:00pm. Around 8:00pm we were offered an option to deplane,some did while others stayed.
My daughter has anxiety and became nauseous after boarding the plane and before take off. She went to the plane bathroom and ended up having to vomit, and your staff promptly removed us from the flight. We explained that it was due to my daughter’s anxiety, and that the condition would not continue in the air, but they removed us anyway. We have flown many many times before on many different airlines and my daughter’s anxiety has resulted in nausea and sickness before takeoff, and every airline has been accommodating and professional. This is was our first time flying with your airline, and also the first time we have ever been removed from a flight. This was the worst service we have ever experienced. This was a special surprise trip we gifted to my daughter for graduating college. I had also paid to upgrade the family to first class and sit all together which we had never done before and can’t afford on a normal basis. Our removal from the flight was not only extremely embarrassing, but devastating for my daughter. My daughter and I were removed from the plane and a call was made by your staff to medical personnel, a few questions were asked of my daughter, and then she was magically cleared. All of this took mere minutes. Why this could not have been performed while we were on the plane, or why this could not have been performed off the plane and then us allowed to reboard is beyond me. My wife and youngest daughter continued on the original flight alone and were very upset and crying due to the situation, yet the staff did nothing to console or assist them. My wife states that upon arrival in Portland and as they were exiting the plane, one of the stewardesses involved said “byyyyeeeee” to them sarcastically and laughed. Myself and my oldest daughter had to wait 4 hours for an alternate flight and were sat in regular seats because our first class seat purchase could not be honored. My wife wasn’t allowed to pick up our rental car and had to wait 4 hours with our luggage until I arrived. The delay prevented us from being able to carry out planned events and ruined the first day of our trip. Upon explaining all of this to your customer service, we received no sympathy, assistance, or compensation other than your staff submitting a request for a reimbursement of my and my daughters first class upgrade cost. When checking in early for our flight back home, the luggage cost for myself and my eldest daughter was no longer discounted as it was for my wife and youngest daughter. Customer service once again could not assist me over the phone and rectify what should have been a minor adjustment. Instead they stated I would have to wait until we physically checked bags in at the airport and then ask staff to adjust the luggage cost. With everything else we had experienced, I was not going to leave that to chance and instead paid full price for the luggage ahead of time. Or experience with Alaska Airlines was a complete disaster and I am baffled at the lack of empathy and assistance from your staff. I’m not sure of what else to say other than the fact that unless we are compensated by Alaska Airlines in some form to offset the horrendous service we received, we will be relaying our experience to family and friends and on social media, and doing all we can to urge everyone to avoid utilizing your services.
I got an email 3 hours before the flight letting me know it got canceled
The internet was down, which made my work plans impossible while inflight.
With saver fares on Alaska, you are treated like a 2nd class citizen. Last to get a seat-most likely in the middle. Last to board. By then all overhead bins are taken. It’s sad to see Alaska treats its customer like India’s caste hierarchy. I’m in Portland Oregon. So I have to Alaska. Otherwise, I wouldn’t fly on them again.
Flight on time. Easy boarding. Changing my seat was very easy.
Flights were on time, which made making connections do much better. Well organized
Flight delays were really annoying, but otherwise the experience was fine
I paid almost $700 for super saver round trip…, You moved me to the back of plane… I’m old and have breathing and anxiety problems! You didn’t care! Moved me to the way back! Unacceptable!
My only complaint was how far it was from plane to baggage claim
Checking in united could not figure out my star alliance gold. Baggage did not get marked priority and didn't receive boarding passes. When got to SFO lounge personal fixed everything Immediately
Meals were poor and service rendered on return flight was mediocre as compared to the flight we took to Germany earlier where the attendants were more attentive, energetic, and mindful of passengers' needs. Thumbs up to crew of UA 58. Thumbs down to UA 59..
Very comfortable flight, snacks and drinks were good, good communication from crew. Could have used a little more information on timing of boarding for group 5
Great flight. Got to watch a movie. Smooth flight and early arrival at ORD.
This was the first flight in the morning. We boarded fine. The cabin door was closed and we were ready to go. We were notified by the Captain that ATC issued and ground stop for 40 minutes. So, without even pushing back from the gate, we were already 40 minutes late. We actually were released to push-back and taxi at 30 minutes. But, some passengers had tight connections and were not going to make their connections. Some passengers asked about the delay and the effect on the connections and were told by the cabin attendant that all flights will be delayed and so they should be OK. However, that was not true. My connecting flight was on time and I arrived at IAH with 21 minutes to make my connection. I did and I'm happy about that, but the flight crew should not have given assurances to the passengers who might have missed their connections.
Poor communication, flight was delayed for preventable reasons. I missed my connection.
It was better than excellent. The staff in Mason City were great. The young woman that pushed my wheelchair did more than could be expected of her. She came from India 17 years ago. I don't remember her name.
After arriving in Chicago, we were taxiing for 1.5 hours with infrequent and untruthful updates about the amount of time it would take to arrive at the gate. Minimally, the team could have provided timing expectations that were more truthful, especially one their original expectations were not met.
The crew was generally professional. Though one of the crew members seemed to be easily annoyed, the others were fine and helpful. The green olives and almonds snack was really good. A great idea, and nice balance of tastes.
It as confusing with the connections and I almost missed my next flight because of the first delay with the first flight. United could have helped passengers go through immigration quicker rather than waiting with everyone else. The flight attendants were super friendly and lovely. The vegetarian food was awful- I did not finish. I would suggest they just do pasta next time
The plane was very creaky and lots of ringing. Plane was dirty and dingy. I couldn't hear the captain's announcements from the flight deck. Not sure if it was the captain or the audio equipment, but good thing there wasn't an emergency where we needed clear instructions. The overhead compartments were clearly full, but the flight crew allowed people to stand in the back with their carry on luggage. Then after everyone boarded, they had to go to the front to gate check their luggage because there was no room for their bags and then they returned to their seats...such a waste of time when clearly the overhead compartments were full when they originally boarded.
The new planes (American Eagle) are beautiful and especially comfortable. The flight attendants are consistently professional and courteous. And, while it may seem inconsequential, the new liquid tube of coffee creamer—in contrast to the powdered coffee creamer—makes all the difference in a cup of coffee.
I have been flying American Airlines—almost exclusively—for years. The airline is consistent with fares, timely departures/arrivals, and customer service, whether on the phone or in the air.
Cleared standby and gave up my seat. Terrible policy and boarding experience
Flight was delayed and they gave up my seat on my connection, even when I could still make the flight
Checked bag was severely damaged. Whole corner was riped off including 1 of 4 wheels gone. Insulation exposed. This made it not possible to fly with on my next-day American Airlines flight.
The WiFi would not connect enough for me to do my actual work. It permaspooled, disconnected, said it was connected, then wouldn't open an email... it was frustrating. I am not a tall person, 5'4" - and I felt cramped with little room to reach into my bag under the seat in front of me. I feel sorry for anyone taller than me having to fly. the one positive thing I will add, is the overhead bins are roomy enough to manage more bags than other carriers.
Air condition was not working for long both after boarding and also after landing ; unbearably hot and suffocating
On time flight, good communication about boarding, lines didn't form unnecessarily for boarding before their group was announced (kept aisles clear), friendly flight attendants and service
Flight was extremely hot and they made us check our bags when the space was nowhere near full
