Great flight with great crew. I like that they came around to serve our strings twice during our four-hour flight.
I paid extra to choose a seat. When arriving at the gate after a very stressful check in at the airport, realized did not get the chosen seat that I PAID for. When I called the airline I was told I did not pay to choose a seat and could not be refunded, but I DID pay extra to choose a seat. And of course, got stuck in a MIDDLE seat. Since the seats are now crammed together, this is especially uncomfortable. The check in for baggage was ridiculous, it was a mile long and the kiosk to check in for the flight was very confusing. We finally sought out help and a very rude representative quickly went through the kiosk and printed a boarding pass that did not provide the PAID for chosen seat. Didn't get to get on the return flight because the flight coming in was delayed several hours, missed the flight by 3 minutes!!!!!!! You really can't hold the door for 3 minutes for a passenger you KNOW you are waiting for??? What stress and had to wait 4 MORE HOURS to get a flight home because you could not keep the door open 3 minutes. 3 minutes. Had only 20 minutes to get from flight to connecting flight and was accused of taking too long to get from gate to gate in Chicago. Flights were delayed all day long coming in and going out, you would think you could wait 3 minutes to allow passengers to get to the connecting flights. HUGE inconvenience, stressful and makes for a really LONG day when the flight leaving Des Moines to Chicago was horribly delayed, already had a horrible experience and missed the connecting flight by 3 minutes. 3 minutes. Airplane was still there, the door closed, why on earth is it such a huge deal to wait a few minutes when flights were already delayed ALL DAY LONG and why is it such a huge deal to REOPEN the door to let another passenger on??!! I used to like Alaska Airlines. I just plain hate flying in general now. The airlines have 0 (zero)care about the people buying tickets and making travel plans and how stressful flying is now. Zero care.
They overbooked the flight! Or they said it was over weight, very unnerving as flying is a gamble anyway. They were waiting for six passengers to give up their seats, before they would board the flight, they were offering $1100. I’m guessing towards the purchase of the next ticket which I would never purposely fly with American Airlines. It was just the only flight available with what I needed. American Airlines is the top two worst airlines to fly with. And then after waiting an hour and four minute delay departing they ended up seating the people that they had asked to give up their seats anyway turns out they were not overweight after all. So all of that in a delayed flight and a delayed landing in Des Moines for nothing American Airlines is in competition with United Airlines for the worst airline to fly with.
The seat was comfortable, but I paid for upgraded seats and they did not state that there was no outlets for devices.
Extremely professional crew there are very friendly and first class. Everything worked well on the plane. Food was to be expected. Drinks were very good. Shout out to Charlie in first class who was an excellent flight attendant.
Thanks for all you do to keep us safe and on time!
I had a great trip. Everything was on time, easy boarding and kind attendants.
Good legroom, good food. Great landing, comfortable seat, good communication from pilot and crew. I wasn't thrilled that we were an hour late but it happens. The only two minor things was that the garbage pickup was slow and your windows need washing. Overall we will beback
In order to watch a movie you have to buy wifi access
Very close to on-time takeoff and landing. Attendants were all great - Julia was best! Joined the Alaska Air Rewards and will fly with them again!
flight was hot, it was delayed and there was no wifi.
No beverage/snack service without any explanation or reason. Late boarding and delayed flight.
The cabin and bathroom experience was poor as the cabin and bathroom were dirty and showed signs of an older plane that had not been updated for Customer’s, comfort and health. There was gum on my seat when I arrived and dirt spots around the fan and light controls. The flight was almost entirely full, so there was no way I could be moved from my seat. Th bathroom had the peeling paint.
I'm 6' 2" and even in economy plenty of leg room
Horrible experience. Delta delayed the flight to 11pm which happens. Apparently the pilots were there but we were waiting for flight attendants to arrive from Detroit and they were delayed. They could have made arrangements but that’s fine. What was truly horrible was that at 10:50pm the pilot comes out and says the flight will be cancelled but hasn’t been cancelled yet in the system. It’s being cancelled because the pilots have timed out. As soon as that plane got delayed past 10:50pm delta knew it couldn’t fly. Yet they made us wait around for hours. When the flight finally got cancelled all the area hotels were booked and flights for the next day were unavailable until midday. All I wanted was to spend one day with my family before needing to fly abroad on another delta flight. That will be my last flight with them. I’ll take my 800k miles flown and annual spend to an airline that isn’t so thoughtless.
THI IS THE 3RD CONSECUTIVE FLIGHT FROM ORD TO MSP THAT HAS BEEN DELAYED 2+ HOURS. CRAZY
The plane was a rather tired 737-800, with old style small luggage bins. Poor air flow. USB charger in the infotainment system was not functioning. The flight was 2 hours late due to crew rest requirements (not their fault). On arrival in Seattle, waited on the tarmac for 30 minutes with very few updates from the crew.
Very easy to use and convenient, you can perform any action within the same portal
Okay considering we had weather delays which the Pilot notified us of immediately!
Everything could have benn better. Short fly, no food, no entertainment and no wifi.
Very uncomfortable and cramped seats. Everything else was okay, the crew members were nice but nothing was exceptional.
Waited on tarmac for approximately 15-25 minutes before taking off. When landing, the time it took to taxi to our gate was the also 15-25 minutes.
Connection times always good online, but not in reality when first leg is delayed (2 out of 2 times this trip).
It was good flight was smooth, little cold on the plane but other wise good.
Great flight and crew. Need more legroom and DO NOT allow seats to recline.
The guy in front of me was talking constantly, even when the pilot was making announcements. I found this very disrespectful to the pilot and to others.
The TVs on the plane were all broken and inoperable. No snacks or food were served. Plane was very old and uncomfortable.
Takeoff delayed 2 hrs. Boarded on time to find we were missing part of the flight crew. Then informed that they had loaded too much fuel. Spent 1 1/2 hrs sitting there burning off the excess, which included a couple of laps around the runway until we were light enough to fly! Ridiculous!
I especially enjoyed having a lightly packed flight which enabled me and my wife to occupy a three seat area with nobody in the middle seat.
Great experience. Boarding was fast, staff were very nice and funny, everything at the seat worked well.
All good. Flight crew was super friendly at the end of a long day
The food in first class has taken a big downturn
Flight was fine. Just delays leaving due to mechanical issues. But flight crew were kind and professional. Seats were spacious. American doesn't need to have 9 groups for boarding.
Both departure and return flights had mechanical delays. Their planes are antiquated resulting in a two hour flight taking almost four hours to complete.
Crew were helpful, pilot kept us informed about turbulence, snack choice was awesome!
It was one of the worst I have ever had. The plane was over booked, and I did not have a seat. When I questioned why because I had booked this weeks in advance. I was brushed off to be advised they are trying to find someone to give up their seat. Only to be advised I would be boarding last. I had priority boarding in group 1-4. When I asked why I had to be last because that is not what I paid for I was advised it doesn't matter you will get a seat. The ticket person was very rude and unprofessional. The gate changed several times and it was going from one area to another area far away from where we were at. I feel like I should have been compensated in some kind of way because of the way I was treated. The ticket agent acted like it was my fault that the plane was over booked. Not one time was I apologized to for this inconvenience.
I have posted the comments in the first flight leg.
First class snacks - stewardess gave out multiples to everyone until there was almost no selection left when she got back to me last in first class cabin. Nothing left that I would eat.
My feedback from the trip to Columbia to Chicago was meant for Chicago to Denver.
The WiFi was out gr entire flight. Had to Diane for almost 1 hour to wait for a gate to open up for plane to dock. Very bad experience.
