The entire staff were professional. I was surprised at their commitment in every aspect. My first time flying the airline.

Flight is clean and staff is polite. Despite the delay due to unexpected weather. It was a great experience and I am lucky enough to be upgraded. Appreciated!

Overall its fine, but I've been lowering my bar for what to expect over the years. What I look forward to most is the crew. Alaska's flight crews are the best. I compare every other airline I fly to yours. Ok, so now lets discuss the plane and amenities: One of the bathroom sinks was inoperable. The crew did the right thing by putting hand sanitizer there. On food - there really isn't any food on these flights unless you pre-buy it and I missed the window, so I ate some garbage in DFW's Terminal E. Let's face it - terminal food in most airports is just junk, so not your fault. The only snack we got on our flight was a bag of salty, cinnamon flavored pretzels. I ate mine, because I was hungry, but really felt like it was a waste of calories. Entertainment options aren't as good as they used to be. I guess Hollywood, Netflix and HBO just aren't creating content like they used to, or we watched everything during COVID and can't be satisfied anymore. I partially finished a number of different shows, ranging from stand up comedians, movies, tv series and foreign films trying to find something. In the end, I could see why nearly everyone around me was brain rotting on Instagram, so I zoned out listening to my favorite playlist and plinked away at email. I see you next month!

Boarded us on a plane that had ongoing maintenance and it was 105 degrees out. Sat in the cooking heat for an hour before taking off. WiFi didn’t work over half the flight so I couldn’t get any work done

The flight was on time, seats were comfortable, crew is friendly and professional. Nice flight overall. Thanks!

Flight was delayed and we were left in the plane with planed turned off, took so long to get to destination and luggages were lost. Such a hectic travel

I've been loyal to Alaska Airlines for nearly 25 years and before the merger I had much better benefits. However, since the merger with Hawaiian Air, you've bumped me from group A to B or C and I now get poor selection of seats in the back of the plane.

Would not let us check in our luggage. Flight was 40 minutes late, so we really did have time to check in our luggage. Could not get on another flight even for the next day, calling the Alaska service numbers provided, it stated the average wait time to speak to anyone on the phone was 8 HOURS! Alaska would not refund our tix. Never again!!!!!

Morbidly obese dude took half my seat. Sore shoulders back from being squeezed. Shame on the airline for not making this guy purchase two seats

The flight was on time and got in early which allowed us to get to our next flight.

Flight was delayed out of BWI unexpectedly / without a reason given but otherwise ok.

I got a bit sick on the flight, and was so grateful when the male flight attendant explained to me they keep the back row open for cases like mine. He took such great care of me! I was incredibly grateful.

I understand the delays caused by the storm, but that doesn’t mean the systems had to be chaotic. The app showed one thing, the screens showed something else, and the gates kept changing every 10 minutes. It was a nightmare trying to figure out where to go.

Unfortunately, I left my headphone's case in the bag of the front seat. I was seating on 9C. Hopefully the found it and I can get it back. I have not been able to get in contact with Southwest. Other than that, everything went fine.

Flight was constantly delayed with significant changes in time, it was supposed to get to Colorado Springs at 8:30 PM but it got there after midnight.

The flight crew was extremely rude and especially not helpful when our flight was delayed.

Still a fan of open seating. Flight was on schedule and arrived on time. The 737 MAX is very comfortable.

The flight in it self was good. The delays looking for pilots was unexpected.

This flight left late. We had A46/A47 boarding, but SW boarded 45 people from an interrupted flight ahead of us. It was a zoo. Seats are very uncomfortable, even for a 5’8” person of normal BMI.

The crew was very helpful, nice friendly. The only issue I have was the horrible turbulence that we experienced leaving Dallas love field airport. It lasted about 20 minutes I think.

Everything was great except the fact that catering did not restock the flight from ATL to GRB and we were only offered water.

The WiFi on the plane was out. I also thought movie options were lacking.

These Delta 717 jets are ancient. No entertainment and you have to pay for WiFi that barely works and goes in and out the whole flight. Delta should be ashamed flying this garbage.

My seat was changed without my consent. It wasn’t a major deal but annoying.

It was delayed over an hour and a lot of announcements disrupting movie.

Delta has joint the nickel and diming airlines. The experience is getting worst by the day. 1,000,000 miles for a trip to Asia in Business Class where I got the same thing for just under 90,000 miles through an Asian airline. Where is Richard Anderson? Please come back!

I had an extensive delay on my previous flight and we had another delay due to the crew not being there. We were scheduled to have a late arrival but due to the delay it was even longer.

I didn’t like that I could not select my seat and was assigned a seat when I checked in at LAX

Lisa the flight attendent was absolutely wonderful - I loved her energy and you could tell that this crew was amazing family - thank you for making our flight home to LA so very fun! Love and Sun Chips!

App was rather sporadic in working along with Wi-Fi no longer could text and passenger seated next to me was sicker than a dog from LAXLIH also disappointed I couldn’t buy access to sky club with my bonvoy Amex

Cabin staff were very disengaged, spoke with no eye contact, dismissive. Disappointing compared to my United experiences.

Flight attendants were pleasant and helpful. Pilot gave fair warning about turbulence.

Unfortunately the flight was delayed. On a positive note the status updates in the app/text message were good

extremely tight seats. seating next to a large person makes the space very uncomfortable. The crew is not very friendly either.

The flight was 3 hours and 40 minutes late. The communication around the delays was awful. I fly this route regularly and it is always late. I don't understand it. The flight attendants were not friendly and were generally loud. This was an overall bad look for American Airlines.

Staff are polite,and even offer us to tag our baggages upon seeing us from the entry

On-time, direct flight is great. Having one bathroom out of order was unfortunate.

I am absolutely furious with American. they shut the door in my face when I was trying to board the flight and kicked me off of it. They made no attempt to call my name or contact me or anything. They just said they gave my seat away. The customer service response has been atrocious. I will never fly this airline again as long as I live.

Worst experience ever, extremely disorganized airline with super rude crew for first class passengers. I have submitted feedback to AA customer care online that this was my worst experience traveling in over 30 years

The plane was late getting to Ontario by half an hour which makes it inconvenient when you have people waiting for you.

Gate not determined until I got to the airport - hard to plan the trip to the airport.

Very well recently! Frontier is improving and less harrassing customer on luggages! Positive!

Terrible. The canceled my entire flight when I requested a refund for a trip frontier canceled trip one way.

i was unable to check in the flight. refund requested

Book with frontier airlines with the mentality that they'll cancel your flight, kick you off and lose your luggage. Anything besides that is a win. Compare prices with other airlines (to include luggage) and if frontier is still worth it, book it but know all of their policies.

Would be great if Frontier can Assign Seats together under one PNR

Boarding was organized and flight was on time. Overall very satisfied with my flight.

The boarding gate was in Terminal D, but the Frontier counter was in Terminal E. So I had to move back and forth between terminals to check in my luggage. This was the worst experience that I had in terms of flights.

My departure gate was E10 but no kiosk at E10 for check in & no one to ask. A United attendant helped direct us to E38 for check in. The kiosks at E38 were all malfunctioning. A counter agent had to check us in. We then had to walk back to E10 for boarding. E10 to E38 at DfW is not an easy trek. No where in all the info they sent us indicated there were issues to over come. They can cut only so many corners. Luckily we arrived plenty early to deal with Frontier’s inefficiency.

I had to cancel within 1hour of the reservation an they put you through hell to . no live customer service desk. I'm handy caped and they make it almost impossible to cancel. They are steeling my money. You should not have that airline on your site. Contact me and I will give you all info. Of what the are doing to me just notable treatment they are set up like that to take people
