Find Cheap Flights from Chicago to Anchorage (CHI - ANC)

Captain's flight commentary good Crew fine. Plane fine.

slow, untimely, disorganized boarding Couldn't get seat assignment online or at airport.

So on my way to Madison my bags got lost and mind you that the bag they lost was my guns. I was on my way for a family hunting trip and the airlines didn't have my guns when I got off the plane in Madison. They did find them but it took an extra day and I had to drive an hour back to Madison to claim them.and then on my way back to anchorage a very expensive gun case that was mine got broken the handle got busted off and there was a cracked down the side of the case about a foot long. I usually don't write reviews and have flown alaska airlines many times without error but for some reason this trip was not top notch at all

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

Flight attendants were very nice and friendly. Flight was smooth and comfortable.

Wifi and the direct tv are unavailable over Canada but you still have to pay full price for this service.

Ride counter people. Being lied to about our luggage. Will no longer fly united.

The gate agent helped half a dozen people (not including those described below) understand they were boarding with the wrong group.

Fully one-quarter of the passengers boarded as disability or premium. This included a party of eight that boarded with one person in a wheelchair because "We're all together."

boarding and gate agent were superb

temperature in the cabin was hot enough to roast a turkey

Friendly, caring, and knowledgable staff

No hot food choice on 6+ hour flight.

This flight was first delayed, then not listed on the reader board. Then the flight added a stop over in Seattle for the the only reason that the crew was maximizing their allowed time to work. This delayed arrival at final destination. They could have brought on a fresh crew in Chicago but they did not do that.

Seats, video and overall comfort are all very nice on the new 900's.

Nothing.

crew was great

staff from de-icing company failed to show, despite >24h of notice of snow; missed our connection baggage handlers destroyed suitcase

Was seated by a very nice couple.

The plane was crowded. I was very upset to find that on a 6 hour flight I not only had to pay for entertainment I didn't even get to finish watching what I paid for. Was really pissed that on a 6 hour flight I had to starve because you also charge for food! Didn't have a credit card only cash that was refused so I was unable to eat.

Customers should be made aware that animals are on the flight before boarding to safe guard against allergies.

Row 19 on a 737ER is great for room, as long as you don't plan on reclining (I rarely do in a daytime flight)

A little overcautious regarding seating the cabin crew because of possible turbulence, but better safe than sorry, I suppose. However, it is a common occurrence on this particular leg, so don't board knowing you might need to take a "break" before you get to Atlanta.

Well after going through a terrible storm to get to the airport we were given a opportunity to up grade to First Class for a very reasonable rate. That was great.
