Only issue is that when you board last they make you check your carry on due to lack of space. Did not care for that.

Only issue is that when you board last they make you check your carry on due to lack of space. Did not care for that.

Great with American Poor with Alaska airlines. 3 hrs isn’t enough to transfer bags from one gate to another 5-6 gates away in the same terminal. Bags essential for cruise were unavailable Flights delayed cascading the problem. (Alaska Airlines responsibility). Very poor execution of operations that should be the simplest aspect of travel.

My flight was several times rescheduled and then finally canceled.

The flight kept getting delayed due to a maintenance issue. That happens, but there is no excuse for changing the gate FIVE TIMES, including one time nearly all the way across SeaTac. After we were delayed for 3+ hours, they did send us (via email) a $12 meal voucher...except you can't find a $12 meal anywhere in that airport, unless you consider a bag of M&M's and a bottle of water a meal. The plane had one problem after another but finally took off 4.5 hours late. This caused us to miss our hotel shuttle at ORD (they didn't run past midnight and it was 3 am) so we had to wait 25 minutes and pay for an Uber. I did get a $50 flight voucher from Alaska...big deal. Barely covers my Uber ride that I shouldn't have needed.

It was good. Too long for older people. Service and support was great! Friendly crew!

I'm not sure if you are going to ask me about the check in process. I could not get my boarding pass, so I had to stop at the American desk before security. I also had a difficult time downloading the app with the confirmation code for the two flights.

Worst first/business class I have ever flown after 75 years on planes. Barely acceptable seats, terrible food, uninterested attendants, unavailable WiFi. I’ll never fly this airline again.

Dropping off of the checked bags took way longer than it should have. The agent for the pre-tagged and ready to drop off line was gone and didn't come back for about 15 minutes. The other bag check lines were barely moving. Agents were standing around and not much was getting done. Everything else about the flight was great.

Check in online didn't accept my confirmation number so i could only check in with assistance at the airport and ended up with s creepy middle seat.

It was the most expensive Alaska Airlines ticket I’ve ever purchased. I had a middle seat with no legroom or space compared to any other middle seat I’ve hadThere was a silver box under the seat that took up 70% of my legroom on the most narrow 737 max the crew flat out would not help they would not help with bags they would not help with garbage there was no coffee,It was definitely not one of my better experiences on Alaska.

It was as good as it could be. Flying is not a pleasant experience these days.

the crew cancel the morning service due to the weather. Then the flight got deverted to Nashville . we were on the ground for over two hours the only gave us water once... no food or any snacks.... the crew should have handled better and offered something to passengers.

There was an unruly family behind us that made the short flight miserable!!! The cabin crew did nothing to contain it.

Flight delay was frustrating, also you cannot checkin online without delta app, web browser check-in throw errors

Delay in SLC jammed us up in Chicago. Got caught up in rush hour traffic

5 hour delay. They blamed the weather but it was the computer issues they had been dealing with for days.

I usually have a positive experience with Delta. Complimentary upgrades are always nice!

long flights are never truly comfortable but the airline did their best. crew was great and the flight was safe.

The captain was amazing and kept us informed throughout that there would be some rough air. The flight also got delayed but we were able to actually leave on time, which was great.

The staff did not do a good job of getting everyone boarded quickly, so we missed our take off window and had to sit on the tarmac for 20+ min waiting for our turn. The plan was old. Pockets on the back of seats were torn and tearing off. One of the attendants was rude-she would ask a question but he walking away before you finished answering so she kept getting our drink orders wrong.

The flight crew were very helpful. The seats were very close together. There was barely room to sit without touching the person next to you.

I’m an EP on AA every year for more than a decade but this was a very pleasant and surprising experience. Clean and sizable plane for HOU to CHI. 5 row first class. And excellent food in first class the steak option was really good. Your flight attendants even better. Seat 5A

Gluten free snack options and meals that offer both gluten free and dairy free.

Not a bad flight but a long delay boarding and taking off due to the pilot not arriving on time.

I would have preferred a flight voucher and to hop on a different flight. Delayed over 6 hours.

I almost missed my connection in Chicago due to having to wait on a gate to be open I am assuming. Having to run from E terminal to C terminal and I barely made it there before they closed the door. This may not be the actual airline's fault it's crazy how there is so little time between flight especially when they are placed so far apart in the airport.

The Wi-Fi did not work, so you weren't able to watch entertainment on your own device. They did not have wired headphones so you couldn't watch it on the in-seat entertainment screen either. There was plenty of time to do a drink and snag service but the flight attendants chose not to.

Great experience, boarding was fast and efficient, so much so that we arrived to Chicago very early

The flight did not have its customary snacks during the flight. Apparently they were never loaded on the plane.

Charging and entertainment didn't work. The meal was horrible. They only came by with the drink cart one time for the 8 hour flight. They did come by with water a couple times.

My seat had a worn out cushion, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, the flight was excellent.

Take this flight regularly. Every single week same thing. Departure delayed. Make up some time in the air. Land at ORD and then wait for gate in "L" concourse Terminal 3 for 30-40 min-which yields a very delayed final arrival. Plus I get to taxi around and see every runway and drive over the bridge (IFKYK) over the expressway 2-4 times in most cases. Change the sched of incoming plane/work with FAA to improve traffic flow at ORD/change the timing of these flights. Whatever it takes. But do better.

- flight was delayed several hours due to weather (understandable) - flight delayed further and we were told by attendants "we are not sure where the pilots are but they are on their way" as we have to find different pilots for the flight - announcements over the PA were somewhat unprofessional by the attendants, seems they need more training and were not reading off the script. They showed their young age and immaturity in their communications with the passengers. They were not clear and lacked professional communication language. - going from a hub to hub we were also parked at the tarmac at ohare for an additional hour and kept being told "few more minutes". Please just let the passengers know the real wait time instead of hiding the truth. We understand there is traffic and weather delays, but we just want transparency. There are several logistics of our lives that revolve around what the attendants and pilots are sharing with us but they are not being transparant.

Boarding and Delays The boarding process for my American Airlines flight from Copenhagen to Philadelphia was a bit tricky. We experienced a gate change that required a long walk to a new area of the airport. Additionally, boarding was not via a jet bridge; we had to take a shuttle bus to the plane and then carry our luggage up the stairs ourselves. Furthermore, the bag drop didn't open until about 12:20 PM, which was only three hours before our scheduled departure. This meant I couldn't drop my bag off early and had to wait outside of security in order to drop off my bag and use the kiosk. The bag drop self-service kiosks also didn't open until about 12:00 PM when an American Airlines employee unlocked them so that we could print out our boarding passes and bag tags, which further created a backlog. The flight was delayed by over an hour because we had to wait for one of the tires on the plane to be changed. Flight Attendant Professionalism On a positive note, the flight attendant was very professional when handling a passenger who was sitting in the wrong seat. Even though the passenger was persistent and reluctant to move, the flight attendant calmly ensured the assigned passenger could take their seat. Kudos to the flight attendant for keeping his calm and composure, not allowing the issue to escalate, and handling it well under pressure while a line of passengers waited in the aisle to board. In-Flight Service The in-flight service was also fast, prompt, and efficient, although service had to be suspended for the last two hours of the flight due to weather and turbulence, which was outside of the crew's control. Limited Flight Options Please note that American Airlines only operates one flight per day in and out of Copenhagen. This means there are limited options available if your flight is delayed or canceled, which is something to take into consideration when booking.

I will never but. through kayak again. and American Airlines. I will never fly again on. They're both thieves.

Nothing, I wont be flying American Airlines again and will not be recommending anyone to fly American Airlines. It was the worst experience flying I've ever had.

My luggage was not sent with us. Not sure if this is Envoy Air responsibility but that was a very BAD experience

The planes can use an actual cleaning. The armrest and seats do not appear to be cleaned on this one and most other planes.

Flight was delayed…once landed at ORD, no gates were available so made us wait for 56 minutes after we landed to let us out of the aircraft!

The flight de-boarded after being informed of a 3 hour delay. The gate agent said we could go to lounge. The flight ended up boarding 20 minutes later and I missed it.
