Pros: "The coffee was good and the crew was attentive and helpful."
Cons: "The transfer was very rushed. I know it’s hard to control those things, but 45 minutes turned out to NOT be enough time between flights, especially because the first flight was taxiying for 20 minutes once we landed, which was an unanticipated delay."

Cons: "Not enough space for everyone's luggage"
Pros: "Always great service on the flight."
Cons: "Had to wait for >30 mins at DFW Alaska ticket counter since there was no agent at the gate to drop off bags already ticketed. Had to call airport central control to have an agent paged. Sign on counter said open at 10am and when spoke to Alaska agent Andy P. He said sign was wrong though there was already a line of customers and just walked away. It was only after a 2nd overhead page for an agent that 2 ladies appeared. Luckily, I wasn't in a hurry and may have missed my flight."
Cons: "The fact that the cleaning crew did not show up and flight was delayed over 30 minutes. Then we sat at the gate almost as long."
Pros: "I love the free entertainment and texting. That is a big plus on a long flight."
Cons: "The airline staff talked non stop in the galley. It was a 6:30sm flight and everyone trying to sleep. One young blonde steward talked non stop for two hours. Had to put ear plugs in and still heard her. Just never experienced anything like it"
Pros: "Newer plane Early takeoff and arrival Smooth flight and good food for purchase"
Cons: "There was only one rude employee when we were printing our boarding passes. The machine malfunctioned and she treated us as if we had done something wrong. She would not communicate with us, she was very impatient with not only us but the other employees around her. I did not get her name, I just wanted to try to stay positive and get out of her proximity as quickly as possible."
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Strewardess were great , fun. Gave extra snacks."
Pros: "Can’t think of anything"
Cons: "Thanks to delayed flight I didn’t make my connection."
Pros: "The flight attendance are very good, friendly"
Pros: "Where I was wearing by window."
Cons: "Crowded and not enough air coming toward me."
Pros: "Quick boarding"
Cons: "Even with extra legroom, the seats were uncomfortable. Very hard, 2” movement is not really a reclining seat"
Pros: "Alaska Airlines upgraded my seat to first class. Everything was on time and went very well"
Pros: "Leg room"
Cons: "Family wasn't able to sit all together. First time that pilot didn't introduce and welcome on board. I think the flight attendant just talked."
Pros: "the crew: absolutely awesome the aircraft: brand new very stylish and comfortable"
Cons: "The $ for a one way 4hr+ and no meal and no WIFI... AAAARGH boarding was rough due to full aircraft !"
Pros: "Boarding was fast. Waited less than 10 minutes for my luggage."
Cons: "First time traveling with Alaska Airlines. I was traveling with my husband and son(5yrs old). Neither my husband or i were able to sit next to my 5yr old. I have travel with other airlines and they automatically put one of us to sit with my 5 yr old."
Pros: "Ease of airport, flight attendants"
Pros: "The plane was very clean, staff was very kind & the take off/landing was very smooth."
Pros: "Free ear plugs"
Cons: "Somebody broke one of the toilet and it squealed and made all kinds of noise for 3 hours of the flight. They tried to fix it but it couldn't be fixed so we were tortured for 3 hours and the younger woman rolled her eyes at that woman and was making faces about the lady that broke the toilet. I mean we were all annoyed and she broke it because her kid had a diaper issue but I thought it was kind of unprofessional."
Pros: "I liked the way the flight attendants handled a moment of confusion when some customers thought their mother was supposed to be on their flight, but had not boarded. They were given the correct information clearly by the person in charge And during the intermittent times of turbulence, they calmly stated that the beverage service would resume when it was safe to do so."
Cons: "I only wish all the customers would be more neat and tidy up after themselves when using the restrooms....."
Pros: "They had a seat to Portland last minute today when southwest inexplicably cancelled my flight. Beautiful service, on time, friendly counter and airplane employees"
Pros: "We where given the tour feeling when the captain explained what we where flying over The app to watch movies was awesome I like the way alaska loads their planes it makes a lot more sense"
Pros: "I loved the fact that I could actually use FREE wi-fi to text through my apps and keep in communication with people while on the plane. It didn't feel like I was being forced to pay for wi-fi ONLY because I wanted to use some of my texting apps (which can use wi-fi). This is by far the biggest plus I've ever had with any flights, and I'm going to use Alaska Airlines any time I get the chance for future international flights just because of it. And yes, of course, the service was amazing :)"
Pros: "Everything else!"
Cons: "My seat was broken and didn't recline."
Pros: "Still a little bit of the old fashioned service and curtesy left."
Cons: "Last trip on Alaska, I was offered a complementary beverage. ( alcohol) . I thought it was a joke. This time, no. $7. Was a joke."
Pros: "I had a family emergency and had to switch flights and they were amazing. No hassle !! I will always fly with them, very courteous and understanding people on the phone."
Pros: "Excellent contact from airlines when delayed"
Cons: "Seating comfort. Lacking cushion softness"
Pros: "My stewardess was amazing!"
Pros: "Lots of leg room... that was GREAT!"
Cons: "Seats were like plywood and too short to cushion you head or even use a pillow. That said, I survived the flight without any aches or pains."
Pros: "Great crew. Got upgraded to 1st class."
Pros: "My mother took a flight from DFW to PDX last week. She is elderly and handicapped. She marveled at how well she was treated and how well she was taken care of. All her needs were met and she arrived tired but not in pain, which was outstanding! Thumbs up!"
Pros: "Plane was a brand new 737 that was delivered in 2016. It had very high-tech LED-based mood lighting, which gave off a soft glow yet still allowed people to sleep if they chose. Flight boarded efficiently, departed DFW on time, and arrived in Portland on schedule. Service from the crew was pleasant and prompt. I like the new style of power outlets in every seat that Alaska uses. You can plug in a laptop or other device using a standard plug, and they also have a USB outlet for charging phones or tablets. Would fly again."
Cons: "There wasn't really anything I disliked, but I did not try the on-board food or entertainment during the flight."
Pros: "All flights left and arrived on time! I greatly appreciated the timeliness of all 4 flights. It is one of the reasons I search for Alaska Airlines flights first."
Pros: "It was a comfortable flight and boarding was pretty seamless and simple."
Cons: "The Vegetables with my Hot Sand which were cold, small table to keep the Surface pro and your food on."
Pros: "No problems"
Cons: "Distances between connecting flight gates"
Pros: "First time I've ever been uncomfortably warm on a three and a half hour flight. No air circulation. Sat in a row that didn't have a window which was even worse. Told attendant and said it had been mentioned to the crew. She said our section of the plane was experiencing some issues with this but no relief felt."
Cons: "Because of ATC, we waited on taxiway for 40 minutes in a hot airplane in Dallas. Yet, when I look at Alaska airlines Flight Status, it shows we departed early. But, Alaska is my favorite airline."
Pros: "The flight was very comfortable and the flight stewards were very nice."
Cons: "They ran out of the fruit and cheese snack before they got to the last few seats."
Pros: "Nice crew. Great boarding"
Cons: "Pretzels. Had to rent device or have your own to see movies etc. And then pay for movie"
Pros: "Great staff smooth flight"
Cons: "Crew rest delay? Should have called ua"
Pros: "Pilot was friendly and informative throughout flight. Landed early. Overall pleasant experience"
Cons: "Was kind of cramped, but to be expected."
Cons: "The plane was ancient. Cabin was freezing, seats were rocks. Using an old short-haul CRJ for a 3.5 hour flight sucked."
Pros: "Wonderful crew, Shefan provided excellent service. This was my first time flying first class and my expectations were exceeded."
Pros: "The choice of new movies!"
Cons: "On my side crew lady was almost rude, for sure not friendly nor smiling. A lot of space for improvement there."
Pros: "I suppose we’re grateful for “free entertainment on your own device”."
Cons: "Robust entertainment on a seat-back screen."
Pros: "Crew was very good. Seating was bad"
Cons: "Bigger seats"
Cons: "Seats are narrow and no leg room"
Cons: "the entertainment on the app didn’t work. and there was no seat back tv things. there was a movie playing in the aisle of the airplane. there was no way to charge any devices while our domestic flight had the tvs on the back of the seats and international plugs for every seat"
Pros: "The crew was very attentive and caring."
Cons: "The flight was delayed. The pilot explained that the plane had been sitting in the sun all day and during the flight check, they realized that the interior of the plane had gotten over 100 degrees by not being operated for hours before the flight. Seems like poor planning or preparation."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Original flight was canceled and I had to find another way back to Tampa as this flight was 30 hours after the original flight."
Cons: "My original flight was delayed then we had to spend the night in Dallas."
Pros: "Worst flight crew in business class ....super lazy"
Cons: "5 hour delay including multiple gate changes, being pulled off the runway and poor communication"
Cons: "Entertainment is becoming too complicated for us old heads. Food, I still resent having to pay for something that is ed to be included in my fare."
Pros: "Crew was polite, Captain was helpful."
Cons: "Flight was delayed due to mechanical issues."
Cons: "I expect better service from American Airlines, total disappointment. Given incorrect information by 2 gate agents concerning connecting flight delays."
Pros: "We arrived 40min earlier than expected"
Cons: "After getting us lined up for boarding we were told to wait due to maintenance."
Pros: "Wi-Fi was great. Watched two movies. Flight was on time and painless"
Cons: "Only complimentary snack was pretzels and only a cup of water."
Cons: "First of all, this flight was not good; that was my rating for the first leg of CLE to DFW. DFW to SJC was a disaster due to weather and multiple equipment changes. Overall the flight was delayed 7 hours, from 4:50pm to 11:40pm. I opted to reschedule for the following morning -- and that flight ended up being delayed for an hour due to equipment changes and mechanical issues. Door-to-door I spent 30 hours getting from CLE to SJC."
Cons: "I guess I was lucky to get a seat at all, since this last leg of my itinerary was deleted from my ticket when I got to the airport. So my bag couldn't be checked through, and they wanted to charge me for it even though it was a connection to the international flight I had just taken. A truly dreadful experience."
Cons: "Flight was delayed"
Cons: "Seats are cramped"
Pros: "The food was good and there was a great entertainment selection."
Cons: "The one calling out the group numbers was unnecessarily rude. Then when I couldn't pull up my boarding pass to see my seat number the woman at plane's door acted like they was nothing she could do to find out my seat. Luckily another flight attendant actually knew how to do something and cared about me getting to my seat. For the flight, the air quality in the plane wasn't good and they seats felt like small prisons."
Cons: "Fast flight"
Pros: "Great flight overall"
Cons: "No one to check in our bags"
Cons: "Being so late"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Lost luggage for more than 18 hours. Poor costumer service by baggage assistance: Too many issues to even mention it. Arrived in Cancun w/o luggages and connection to Cuba with another airline and no luggages for 2 weeks."
Pros: "Good flight. Fairly comfortable flight. Attendants Were friendly and helpful."
Cons: "The movie was mediocre. Biscuit cookie was tasteless. Would prefer peanuts or pretzels."
Cons: "The flight was delayed and my luggage is coming in the later flight. I need some form of consolation for this pathetic service."
Pros: "Boarding and flight was on time."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "nothing really"
Cons: "crowded seats , packed flight,"
Pros: "Quick smooth flight"
Cons: "Everything went well with this flight."
Pros: "Flight was delayed. No food offered."
Pros: "Flew a 787, so pretty new aircraft. That meant good seat-back entertainment system. Got to watch 2 complete movies - one before we got off the ground. Keep reading..."
Cons: "The flight boarded just fine. Then, about the time we should have been pushing back from the gate, a flight attendant comes on the PA asking for a licensed doctor. Several minutes later, they announce that there's a medical emergency and EMTs are on the way. Said EMT comes down the aisle with a wheelchair. I assume they took that passenger off the back, because they didn't come back by me. We finally leave the gate only to find that the weather we were supposed to get out ahead of had now rolled in, and we're stuck on the taxiway for an hour and a half. Once we finally got airborne, things went well. When we arrived at LAX, we parked in a remote area and had to bus to the terminal. So, while none of this was really anything American could have prevented, it made the flight more of an ordeal."
Pros: "the clerk at the boarding desk was kind"
Cons: "delayed"
Pros: "Great flight. Nice airplanes and friendly hostesses."
Cons: "The flight was delayed 3 hours waiting for a flight attendant"
Cons: "Old Equipment"
Pros: "Nothing exceptional"
Cons: "Change fees are ludicrous. Also flight was late."
Cons: "After having my flight delayed 4 hours causing me to miss my connection, I was placed stand by on a different flight through another city so I could try and make it home on time. I was the first person in line for stand by, but the flight was full so I knew it was a long shot. Waiting at the gate, I was excited because one person didn't show and they were giving him a two minute wait time before I could board. During this wait time a woman passenger came over and said she had just been given a ticket change at the gate counter. The agent at the gate was furious because the flight was sold out and said the woman should not have received a ticket, but should have been placed on stand by. She went over and scolded the other agent for this mistake. Okay, so she should've been placed on STAND BY behind me in line. After the unprofessional arguing between the two agents, they both admitted it was a mistake and she should be second in line for stand by, BUT they did not honor this and placed her on the plane bumping me. Needless to say, I missed my connecting flight because of this and extremely inconvenienced my family and in addition had to pay an extra 75 dollars out of my pocket to keep my dogs at their kennel an extra night because I arrived home 5 hours after expected. I understand that flights end up getting delayed and the agents are doing the best they can to accommodate travelers, but admitting a mistake and not fixing it to make it right is unacceptable. I notified American Airlines of my situation and only received a form letter with enough miles to get me 1/8 of a flight. I don't even care about the miles because I don't plan to ever fly with them again, I want the money for the dog kennel I had to pay extra. I was visiting my husband who serves in the US Army causing separation from our family for long periods of time and this extra headache and expense due to the mistake of American Airlines was disheartening."
Pros: "Movie was free to watch and seat had usb to charge my phone."
Cons: "Paid extra for priority boarding, that was a mistake. We got boarding group one but by the time all the families with kids, first class, and frequent flyers went ahead of us they called all remaining groups together. Forget about overhead space left over, we had to gate check carry on. Seats were very uncomfortable, no room under the seat because of a big metal box for power outlets. No leg room, sat shoulders and thighs touching with neighbors. No meal service, just drinks and pretzels, luckily we picked up something to go changing planes in Dallas. Never again!"
Pros: "Staff and customer service were great"
Cons: "Did not get to finish the movie I was watching on my first flight and movies were not offered on this flight."
Pros: "Not much. Boarding was disorganized. Plane was freezing and uncomfortable."
Cons: "Old plane"
Pros: "Easy to navigate site. Was given Pre-check on one leg, which was nice."
Cons: "Had to purchase a seat on one leg, resulting in an extra $12. That was a surprise."
Cons: "When I booked my flight, I used Kayac like I always have in the past. To begin with, I selected several flights that were listed, only to have it tell me that this flight is no longer offered, which I assume is engineered to get me to select a more expensive flight. Once I finally found a flight that was still available, I selected it and began the process of providing information and selecting seat assignments. On 2 of the 4 legs of the round trip, there were no more seats available except for upgrade seats, which resulted in an extra $100.00+ in charges. Then when I finished the transaction, I noticed an extra $200.00 charge added. End result was that I ended up paying over double what I would normally pay for this same round trip that I have made many many times. I feel, no I know, that some customer relations person will look at this comment and reply with a pre-generated response apologizing and hoping I have a better experience in the future and thank me for using Kayac. Big companies like yours look at one customer as no big deal. I'm a Physician and have the ability to reach out to multitudes. I'm going to make it my mission in life to reach out to as many people as I can through word of mouth, signs in my office, Internet and social media to let them know about the deplorable practices of your company."
Pros: "Affordable first class seat - very unusual for AA"
Cons: "No complaints"
Pros: "I was allocated a seat on the plane, and we even made it from point A to point B"
Cons: "Woah man American Airlines exemplifies everything that I hate about flying. It feels like the staff are just trying to make it work with a company that just isn't run as well as it could be. That leaves the staff to clean up the mess that was probably made by people higher up the chain. Flight delays all over the terminal, overbooked flights, and just a general feeling of disorganization makes everything with American Airlines feel a little more tense than it really needs to be. Once we all got crammed into our seats the plane took off and landed at my final destination, which really at the end of the day is the part that matters."
Pros: "Comfortable seats. Flight left on time"
Pros: "The crew was magnificent"
Cons: "Be nice to offer a glass of water to your clients!!"
Pros: "Our flight attendants were awesome!!"
Cons: "A/C was a bit cold, but would rather be cold than hot."
Pros: "Not a whole lot."
Cons: "Everything. The flight was delayed by 4 hours. There was no food in first class. The luggage was put on an earlier flight ans delivered to a different gate. The person handling luggage in Gate A was rude. We had to go to the other gate at 1am to pickup our luggage."
Cons: "4 hour delay"
Cons: "Over two hours delayed. Had to carry on carry off my bags that were heavy. Messed up my schedule. Had to incur extra charges at San Diego destination due to the inconvenience."
Pros: "Comfortable seats"
Pros: "On time flight."
Cons: "Security was overzealous. I didn't know the standards changed for how many ounces you could carry over three days. The normal ounces of liquid was no more than 4.0 ounces. I had no problem going through security with that amount of spray deodorant flying from IAW, Dulles. DFW airport security says the limit is no more than 3.4 ounces. So they kept my harmless deodorant. I need TSA to get on the same sheet of music worldwide. People don't have time or money to waste having to deal with different TSA standards everywhere they go."
Cons: "Flight cancelled due to weather"
Pros: "The crew was cordial and attentive"
Cons: "I understand it was a short flight, but don’t force me to buy either a movie or TV show. At least give me some free options."
Cons: "I booked my flight months in advance and paid for the leg room in the emergency row. I get a smaller plane and cramp seating. Wasn't sure why this happened and why I wasn't compensated for what I was charged for. Wondering if I need to change my regular air carrier now. I don't like small planes!"
Cons: "no legroom"
Pros: "courtesy an comfort."
Pros: "That it was over"
Cons: "Dallas to Newark worst flight I ever had crew was rude they did not control the guest well they pretty much let them do whatever they wanted not safe."
Pros: "Free movies"
Cons: "Sat on plane for two hours after we boarded waiting to take off"
Pros: "Comfy seats and they offered a beverage"
Cons: "Our plane smelled horrible: like a bus full of HS boys after playing basketball in Satan's sauna for 2 1/2 hrs. No entertainment options but it was less than an hour flight so didn't really care. Our flight attendant said nothing about our carry on being bigger than the compartments of our tiny plane so we walked to the back with our bag just to bring it bag and them check it"
Pros: "I get a refund"
Cons: "Getting to the airport and being told you are not in the system to get your tickets when you give all the information to the counter after you paid in advance and have to take the grey hound instead so I am pissed off at this air line and going to let my friends and family know how I was treated there"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Rudeness of flight attendant Departure time changes Gate changes"
Pros: "At all points in the process from check-in to exiting the plan, the staff was quick to step in and help with direction to keep everyone moving."
Cons: "A teacher was put into tears at the gate agent desk prior to boarding because she had a purse and a shopping bag but had a ticket that only allowed one bag that could not be a full roller board. I did see her eventually board wiping her tears away with a single bag, so she either paid the extra $50 or they figured something out."
Pros: "Friendly staff Easy boarding"
Cons: "The flight had no snacks. The seats werent comfortable."
Cons: "I wish my departure wasn't delayed by about 2 hours, but that's not the airline's fault."
Pros: "Round trip from logan to dallas for $230 was unmatchable."
Cons: "With radio communications issues on the plane cancelling my 6:30 flight my travel day grew about 6 hours longer then expected. But with that said as an auto mechanic i know this stuff happens all the time and its a head ache for everyone."
Cons: "My flight was delayed in Portland due to " airport construction" at SF . My . connection was missed in SF causing a day long lay over. Meal voucher was denied by 2 different United customer service people..i don't consider construction out of human control ,like weather. Also ,I found it annoying that because a woman in front of me started crying over her missed I connection for an international trip, she was given a meal voucher.Agents were unfriendly and not sympathetic.Long line of customers with only 3 agents , but of course, they had to still use one for elite customers."
Pros: "Short flight"
Cons: "Plane was way too hot on SFO-SBA, fortunately it was a short flight. Uncomfortable, narrow seats with sparse leg room. Kayak should add an 'N/A' to the survey for certain categories, e.g., entertainment which is not available on some flights."
Cons: "The was delayed three times without explanation."
Pros: "No issues"
Cons: "N/a"
Cons: "Delays all day"
Pros: "Staff worked hard to get us bussed to Santa Barbara"
Cons: "We weren't informed early enough that the flight was cancelled, and everyone was a bit confused"
Pros: "I liked that my flights were on time! We even arrived earlier."
Cons: "The woman when boarding the plane in Chicago was very rude. Crew is not friendly! We received one glass of soda, they do not give you the whole can and one small snack. In Delta they give you the whole can and they give you 3 snacks. If I have a choice I will not fly United again."
Pros: "Arrived early which was great. Thank you"
Pros: "Nice comfortable seating."
Cons: "Liked everything"
Pros: "quick and landed on time"
Cons: "should serve a small breakfast item"
Pros: "Everything"
Cons: "Chicago"

Pros: "Respect for military personnel and disabilities."
Cons: "Seating arrangement for economy passenger."
Pros: "The snacks"
Cons: "It was a really noisy flight because a little boy was crying in the back"
Pros: "Convenience. And smooth travel"
Pros: "How fast the flight was"
Cons: "Delayed flight on the way back"
Cons: "The flight was delayed numerous times. I lost my connection twice. At the end, they transferred me to American Airlines. I spent 10 hours in the airport and they didn't even give me a voucher to eat. It was a terrible and stressful day for me."
Pros: "Everyone was very friendly"
Pros: "Was nice"
Cons: "Pay for ticket and couldn't get a seat assignment. Had to go to the kiosk before my flight and try to get a seat. It processed for 5 minutes while I waited thinking it was stuck. Finally it told me there were no seats available unless I wanted to pay for upgrade. Gee I thought a seat came with the price of a ticket. Then there was no shoulder room in the seating and I am an average sized person. There was leg room because it was an exit row. Then they tried to sell me a round-trip ticket that was more costly than buying individual tickets. What a scam."
Pros: "Not one thing."
Cons: "I chose to fly UA back from a trip to Fort Worth because your price was cheaper than the airline I normally use. Boy do I know why! You have the rudest staff I have ever encountered. My day started out at 6:30am with one of your staff members rudely telling me I had to check my bag, which met all of the dimension requirements you put in place, because two notches on the back side of the carry on did not allow it to completely slide into the display. This women waited until you were halfway through the security line to call you back and make you measure the suitcase. So then you had to walk back through a long line and find yourself even FURTHER back in the line to get through security. She was so unprofessional- not compassionate, unpleasant attitude, and was all about making sure as many people as possible had to pay the extra $25 for a checked bag. The person I flew with is a military wife and you would not honor the free checked bag because her husband was not on the trip and this policy was not included anywhere on her flight documents. Again, the "customer service" reps were rude to her about this and she had to pay the $25 to check her bag. You do not believe in offering quality customer service or ensuring that we have a pleasant experience, you want our money and look to us as an opportunity to make a dollar. Never again!!!"
Cons: "My son ( a minor) was held over in Denver airport for over 12 hours because of delays and cancellations. Not once did your United crew or service workers offer him a meal voucher. This is absolutely wrong. This was my son's first flight alone and he also could not find any venders open to buy food. I will NEVER fly United again and will tell all friends and relatives about your inconsideration to minor passengers who are too shy to ask for help.!"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "EXTREME LACK OF LEG ROOM"
Cons: "Need more leg room."
Cons: "Too much Delays"
