The Alaska app and website were not fully operational. I had to spend about 15 minutes at the counter doing things that should have been completed online. The agent was very nice and helpful, however.

The Alaska app and website were not fully operational. I had to spend about 15 minutes at the counter doing things that should have been completed online. The agent was very nice and helpful, however.

Both flights were delayed due to an incident at SEA. The problem really rests with inadequate customer & plane facilities for Skywest at SEA. You feel like you are in a cattle enclosure. And planes were sitting on taxiways waiting for parking so every plane was late. SEA appears to be over capacity. It is not a fun passenger experience waiting. But crews and flights were all fine. Alaska needs to step up.

Staff are helpful and patient. I don’t appreciate the almost 5 hours delay and also the delay of our luggage and being switched from one carousel to another to pick them up.

It was horrible. Last minute gate change, delays, more delays and then we had to wait for a stweardess to onboard. No explanation for the wait. No apologies. We got to RDM way past schedule @ 1:30 am!!!! Stressful and exhausting. We'd avoid flying Alaska ever again.

The flight was short and smooth. The crew was friendly and courteous.

Flight was delayed 5 hours. Missed connecting flight. Very little apology or attempt to make anything better. Got a $150 credit for next flight. There won’t be another flight. First time on Alaska - last time. Keep your credit. Should have done something more

The crew the employees were friendly and excellent. There was a problem with the plane and they had workers there immediately working on it. They made sure the people that had immediate connects knew what gates they had to get to and had them leave the plane first. Very thoughtful.

We waited over an hour for our luggage to arrive at the carousel in Seattle.

Like the friendliness of the crew, each flight had a very very drunk person next to me and the last flight had a very obese man pushing me into the aisle while the crew kept ending up hitting me in the shoulder with the beverage carts.

Flight was about 30 minutes delayed. All staff were friendly and professional while keeping us updated.

Food from the flight from Atlanta to Santiago was very poor..

Crew was friendly Love the entertainment in the seat head rest.

The worst part was I was NOT allowed in the lounge even though I was holding a first class ticket and have a premium American Express card. I have flown Business or First Class with many airlines. Delta is the ONLY one who does not extend this courtesy to anyone except people who hold the very expensive American Express card. As a result, I won’t fly Delta if I have any other choice.

Thank you for not flipping the plane on the run way. You guys get a 5 star rating for the flight!!!

Rode in a smaller plane and short trip meant no snacks, no free wifi or tv. It was only 30min flight so honestly wasn’t a big deal to lack these items.

Kind staff. Snacks are small but that’s the new normal.

Flight left early and arrived early. the whole trip was excellent.

Overall, it was okay. Seat was a little cramped. Would’ve liked more substantial snacks or opportunity to buy some.

Inexpensive, got an exit row aisle aeat with no middle passenger, bought a great breakfast sandwich, flight comfortable & arrived ahead of schedule.

All fine save for the abominable catering. Really gone downhill. We found it all inedible.

It was not a good experience. When I went to check-in one of Alaska's employees told me I had to check-in with Hawaiian Airlines, which was on the opposite side of the airport. I made my way over and when I got to Hawaiian Airlines they told me I was in the wrong place. The employee saw the look of defeat in my face and was able to get someone to check me in and text me my boarding pass. I had to make my way all the way back to the other side of the airport and barely made my flight. I think it would be very helpful for employees to be more informed with these Hawaiian flights that are operated by Alaska so they are not rerouting people to the wrong terminals. Also, clear signage in the check-in area.

Same as ive said before. All airlines and TSA need a massive revamp.

Alaska airline sis usually great. However flying nowadays is so stressful and feels more like an interrogation rather than a fun part of the vacation experience. From the TSA to the cramped seating it feels like i am entering a concentration camp having my picture taken via TSA and being forced to have my body scanned. Then we are forced to sit in beyond cramped conditions where our knees are crushed into the back of the seat in front of us with almost no movement possible constantly being reminded to put our seats forward when we want to alleviate the horrendous pain of our knees being shoved into hard plastic. My knees looked like i had kneeled on gravel for 2 days straight after flying for a total of 14 hours for my roundtrip. I keep hearing from our elders about the jopys of flying in the 70s and 80s but now it feels like the joy has been removed as a means of acquiring more financial gain by the airlines. Not to mention that my flight via hawaiin airlines was delayed so long that i had to miss my connecting flight which then forced me to miss another day of work and the only recourse i had was a wonderful conversation with a lady via Alaskan Airlines when she got me a new flight the next day due to the delay. She was very pleasant and helpful. She got me onto a nother flight the following day but when i have to travel 2 hours from springfield Illinois to st louis it was a huge hassle having the delay in the first place. Not even the tiniest bit of compensation was offered either. Not a voucher, not a free meal, not a slightly better seat, just a reschedule when in no way was the delay or the missing of the connecting flight my fault. I want to reiterate that Alaska Airlines is really one of the best airlines overall. I fully understand they dont control the TSA, but it does effect the overall experience when TSA is making it feel like we are going through a re-education camp with rather strange videos playing on the walls the entire way through Security. With that said, Alaska should take cosnideration from years of past and make the flying experience fun again. I understand profit is important, but if just ONE airline made flying like it used to be 40 years ago and stopped making it such a money-driven experience, then i, along with many others would choose to fly more often. We see the smaller soda cans and we laugh, we see the tiny snacks and scoff, we see the ridiculous wifi costs and choose to not pay for it because we download our own prior to flying. Why not get everyone to use the wifi by making it like 2 bucks rather than 8 bucks? Make a much larger first class area with slightly lower costs so it doesn't feel like we are mere peons boarding a cattle car? Create some more leg room and watch how fast people are clamoring for your airline over others. Not one airline is actually catering to the general public, if they did, they would see so many people seeking out their airlines above all others and it is just that simple.

Both flights were late 2+ hours with ZERO communication from the airlines or their staff. No offers for compensation. WiFi didn’t work for streaming and they said to only use browsing but that didn’t work either. Waste of $$. No drinks only boxed water or apple juice. No snack. One of the worst flight experiences I’ve ever had.

The ticket and bag check in was chaotic at SEATAC. No clear communication or signage for bag drop off.

This was actually an Alaska flight. I was not able to check in online using the Kayak app or the web for Hawaiian or Alaska airlines. So I contacted Hawaiian and they advised that I had to go to the counter when I arrive at the airport. So I waited in line at the Hawaiian counter for 45 minutes. When I got to the ticket agent she advised that I needed to go to the Alaskan Airlines ticket counter. So I went to that counter which thankfully was not busy. I received my boarding pass and then went to security. I arrived at the gate as boarding was beginning. The frustration is that Hawaiian or Kayak should have directed me to the correct ticket counter. When it is “operated by” a average person doesn't know what that means. Kayak app was silent on what action to take when I was unable to check in online and Hawaiian just stated my ticket number and confirmation numbers were invalid. Communication is key and this process could be cleaned up. Thank goodness I am savvy and speak English, I can’t imagine this process for someone who may not be.

If I knew I would be on Alaska Airlines flying back, I never would have bought the ticket. My flight kept getting delayed and Alaska always seems to be late which is why I don’t fly on them.

Good. They changed our gate very late and then when we landed, we had to wait 20 minutes to get off the airplane because another plane was in a slot.

Very nice experience. The boarding however seemed somewhat mixed up, and we were delayed taking off.

Flight was canceled with no voucher of any kind and next available flight was two days later.

Loved the staff, boarding and drink options! Wish the comfort of the seat could have been better nevertheless

The chair cushions may need an upgrade. I have been noticing they are so worn out, thin so you’d sit in a dip 😄. Other than that, all was an enjoyable trip. Thanks AA!

I’m impressed that we were on time in Sacramento after having a late departure in Newark and our made it. The staff was friendly and warm.

Cramped seats. FAA should make airlines have more legroom, for even short people complain

5.5 hour delay with no explanation on why, along with no proactive effort to reaccomodate me.

It was one of my worst flight ever. First they were changing the gate for at least 4 times, changing from gate D7 to D12 to D44. Considering the size of the Miami Airport, we are talking about long distance and the train at the airport was not working. Then the flight was delayed around one hour. Then finally we boarded into the plane and when everybody was seated, there was an announcement that there is an issue with one of the tire of the plane, so we all had to get out of the plane with our belongings, to replace the tire. So we had around 2.5-hour delay

Most miserable flight ever. We waited almost 2 hours on the runway because the flight was oversold. American offered $1200 credit. Then there was some nonsense about weight distribution. Ridiculous. No food for 8 plus hours on the flight. I will be writing a letter.

Honestly, I haven’t flown American in years, probably due to the pandemic and my being unable to travel for certain periods in the last two years, but it was a good experience to dig out or obtain a new American Airlines account after many years of traveling for business with American in the past.

The plane was probably full boarding was easy. We were able to check our carry-on luggage for free. It was a return flight through Philly to LA. Never saw a stewardess do a demonstration of emergency Procedures. I think my flight was pretty full

Plane, flight, crew, captain were all great. The first flight had a Chipotle box lunch...delicious.

They canceled flight. Hard to believe there was even a plane incoming for us to get on

The worst. We never made our connection and they did absolutely nothing to help us at the airport.

Our flight was cancelled. They could do nothing to help us get another flight that was timely. Because the first leg was cancelled we were unable to get to our connection. We had to book on an entirely different airline for today. So we spent more money, lost a day of vacation and will never fly Frontier again, so the 'we are sorry, here is $100 credit' is a joke since we won't be flying on Frontier.

No way to get boarding pass on my phone. In order to print the bag ticket a boarding pass is needed. Asked the agent to print me one, they said they typically do not due this as its so much work. I showed the email confirmation and I asked how i could do it my self the agent replied he did not know as there was no link. The flight was delayed due to an attendant forgetting to come to work. On the flight no drinks were offered only for purchase meals.

Since you have to pay for overhead bags then they shouldn't be running out of space and asking individuals who paid to remove stuff from the overhead

Cancelled flight after I arrived at airport after 75 min drive and parking. Next flight was 4 days in the future. Had to scramble and buy a much more expensive flight on another carrier.

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.

You get what you pay for nothing essentially but a hard uncomfortable seat that doesn’t recline and kids screaming all around you and chaotic boarding and limited check bag weight allowance when compared to other airlines

I never got to experience the flight because they delayed my first flight and I missed this one. Then Frontier didn't want to help me rebook a flight to get me to my final destination.
