The WiFi worked for entertainment but a nearly 4 hour flight should have personal tvs
We missed the flight. I had a passport issue and told the check in desk that I’m trying to resolve it but when I got approved for entry to USA at 3:32, one hour before departure, the employees had left the desk at 3:30. I tried calling and texting the numbers on the sign. No luck. Waited till the agents came back and couldn’t get a flight to our destination or close, so we flew to Las Vegas instead and drove 6 hrs to San Diego where I missed one night’s stay and the car rental that was reserved there. Extra car rental and hotel in Las Vegas was over $300. Lost tine and money. I wanted to extend the trip by two days but the $1600 SAVER fare wouldn’t let me make changes. Hours on the phone to find out there are no exceptions and no credit if cancelled in advance. Very disappointed. My son’s first vacation with me in 17 years. Wasted a lot of money. Next time I will use a local travel agent.
Your survey needs to include a does not apply button.
Boarding was late with no communication. Flight was over an hour late with virtually no communication or updates. The app showed we had departed and were scheduled to arrive on time even though we sat on the tarmac for nearly an hour. People who were using the app to track our progress to pick us up were given erroneous information. Flight attendant was snooty when asked why app was showing us as delayed and arriving on time even though we had not left and ultimate’s not leave for over an hour. Just poor and arrogant.
My luggage was lost and doesn’t appear to be arrived any time soon.
Check in was a nightmare. We had about 15 people ahead of us but were in line for 45 minutes for priority passengers. Two people were checking in dogs and it took them forever. They even took the dogs out of the kennels to weigh them separately. Crazy! Then when we reached the front of the check in line we were told they couldn’t check us in because we were too early. Had to wait 19 minutes to check in and then check ourselves in and get back in line to drop our bags. This was first class! If I can avoid it I will never fly Alaska again. I sure didn’t get what I paid for.
It would have Bern better if the flight was on time.
The ladies at the ticket counter (at least I think they were ladies) gave me bad information about the closing of the gates at thirty minutes before schedule takeoff and, therefore, I had only ten minutes to get through Checkpoint Charlie and to the gate in order to make the flight. I got there a minute or two after that thirty-minute window but was able to board easily. I noticed that many boarded much later than I did. So that closing the gates thirty minutes before takeoff was not true. The service was superb on the plane. The flight attendants were as nice as can be. The flight was very comfortable.
1st flight I missed because security crew wasn't there yet to process us because of ice in Portland. Yesterday’s flight was cancelled by Alaska 2 days before due to inspections and then Alaska booked me on another flight 2 days later with no other options available to me.
First time flying Alaska. We were able to fly standby on an earlier connecting flight from Seattle to Spokane, which was nice so that we can get to our hotel an hour earlier. Gate agent was very accommodating. Will fly again.
