The flight was canceled the day of the flight. United says it was FAA issue, with some 35 flights canceled and more delayed.
Smooth boarding process. Early departure, smooth flight, early arrival. The entertainment package has very good recent movie options. The flight crew were friendly and professional.
Wonderful and fast TSA checkpoint. The line was fast and our gate was close by
Excellent, professional, actually on time which is rare for late flights. Decent food. I love the new neck pillows! Nice, simple upgrade from the old ones I wasn't sure where to put. I wish they would allow more time for rest. It's a red eye 7 hour flight and meal service was about 3 hours.
Mostly the experience was good except for the flight changes made by UA which meant longer layover in DC
The crew were very nice. The Chocolate is good and v there’s no entertainment. Thanks
I liked all the informational texts. I always knew where to go and when .
In general ok, my only issue is that they had no hot items for purchase. I had very little time in my connection due to baggage/customs/TSA, thag I barely even had a chance for a stop at the washroom and buy water, to make it to my gate when they started boarding. I had nothing to eat because the trip started early, so I was ready to purchase, and they had nothing except for dry items like snacks. I had to purchase a mediocre, overpriced cheese and fruit board, instead of at least a pizza or sliders that I was planning on getting. Other than that, it was fine. But that’s typical Air Canada, to not have enough.
Short flight - no food understandable. Flight was delayed for over an hour. Overall, it was good.
First class felt like economy, seats were horrible, food was horrible, staff inattentive
The crew on AA international flights in my experience are generally lazy, rude, and inefficient. These guys did not disappoint.
I wish they could put the pre-tsa check on the tickets or global entry.
Couldn’t keep my luggage and had no choice. Ground staff didn’t even bother to explain why.
online check-in was horrible and didn't work either way
Was very unhappy with the entire process, from check in to boarding to the comfort of the flight. Did not enjoy the flight on Level.
The boarding was a nightmare. Iberia would not let me check in in advance. They then refused to issue a boarding pass in Paris and said I would get the boarding pass in Madrid. In Madrid, there was no transit desk, no help. I had to run around and find someone to issue the pass. I only had an hour and risked missing the connection. Only at the gate did Iberia tell me they were overbooked and had downgraded me. I was stressed, exhausted, almost missed the connection because of Iberia’s conduct. Unacceptable.
When having a connection at Madrid, it’s extremely confusing. You must travel from your arrival gate, all the way down stairs to a security check point, go up stairs, then downstairs to another security check. Then make your way to your gate. All the while traveling through a “mall” inside the airport which makes it difficult. 10/10 don’t recommend connecting flights through Madrid.
Alaska located my mother, aware that she had mobility issues and they seated her closer to the door. She and I were seated together so I felt more secure to be able to assist her. The desk attendant reviewed what steps to take when boarding. Allowed us to board first, we loved that. I was allowed time to help her board slowly, seat her, put all her things in their place before the crowds came through. These small details made me want to travel Alaska more when possible.
okay, will recommend from PR to Madrid, faster turn around
The plane was not well maintained. The entertainment system didn’t work properly, eg moving map. Many of the seat controls did not work. Cabin temperature fluctuated considerably during the flight. The seat allocated was poor, it was noisy and offered no privacy. The perfume in the toilet triggered severe allergies. Crew was very goid.
