I bought this flight for my mom to come to Houston to see her grandkids and on the way here, their flight was delayed over and over and she didn't get until midnight and she was supposed to be in at 5: 30pm. My mom is almost 70 with a bad knee so that's a long time to be stuck in an airport because her first flight was delayed and she missed her second flight and had to wait for the last fight of the day just to make it. Not only that, which is ridiculous because if a flight is delayed the next fight should have waited for them, on the way home, once again her flight was delayed and by the time she would have gotten to Portland she would have missed her flight to Redmond. So we called and had to get her flight changed because of that. Thankfully she was flexible and flew out the next day, but the Portland trip didn't happen. I am happy that Alaska did make it right by getting her a new flight and upgrading her seats but there should be holding the next flights if the flight is getting there within a few minutes of them boarding. If one flight is delayed, the next flight should be delayed just to accommodate people. Older people having to wait in the airport in uncomfortable chairs for hours on end is not the best for my almost 70-year-old mom.
The flight attendant for first class was excellent. Very attentive to the needs of the passengers The time scheduled for the connection flight on to Kona was too short and we missed that flight. But another flight was only an hour later. But it should have been scheduled that was in the first place.
No issues at all other than the seats. Of all the airlines I've flown on in my life (this was my first with Alaska Airlines), these were significantly the most uncomfortable seats I've had - more so than Spirit Airlines. I'm a relatively young guy and mostly fit but oof, i was aching in muscles I didn't even know I had. Not sure if the seats are standard for the plane (if it even works like that) or if the choice to use cardboard as cushion and 90 degree angle back rests was a decision, but it wouldn't honestly make me think twice about flying with them again. Other than that - perfect flight. It was quick, crew was nice, ride was smooth so all things considered I appreciate the last minute availability offered after a sudden relocation on my part.
The flight itself was okay, but there were 2 screaming kids in front of me my entire flight which made it just awful. The parent did zero to try and make the children settle down and flight attendants did nothing either. I understand it's hard to travel with children, but constantly yelling, screaming, or loud talking for 4 hours straight is just ridiculous.
The crew on my return flight was empathetic to the fact I had probably the worst seat in the plane. Middle seat, last row next to the restrooms. They were sweet and helpful.
Good flight times going to and from Alaska. But for some reason, there were no empty seats showing when I checked in except for first class and the exit row, so had to pay extra for the upgrade. I changed it at the airport, but now have to call them for a refund.
It was nice. Very comfortable. The only thing is that they kept changing my seat. That was very annoying and confusing!
Check in was easy the people were really nice and willing to help the flight crew was helpful and courteous seats comfortable flights on time
My only comment was the confusion at Houston. Suppose to leave at 6 am and didn't leave til 11 am. Then moving from gate 10 to 30 and couple of hours later back to gate 10. Otherwise everyone everything was great.
I liked how I didn’t have to squeeze myself over seat flying at night
Had to deplane 2 x due to problems with plane. Delayed over 6 hours ans was given a $12 food credit which barely oaud for anything and limited to wear incoukd redeem.
Everything went smooth from check in, thru TSA, then boarding, and a smooth flight to ATL.
Seats were not bad enough and uncomfortable good legroom in the emergency exit row we were in, but we were forbidden to hold my grandson on my lap for a little while, and the stewardess passed us saying it was against regulations which makes little or no sense when you’re 36,000 feet. The food snacks were really bad. Tasteless tasted like wallpaper, but we’re supposed to be protein bars, and the announcements were all completely incoherent because of the noise of the airplane and the lowness and crackly nature of the PA system.. this was disgraceful. No one in our party could understand a word of what the captain or the flight attendant were saying —not a word! The landing was a little hairy in a pretty stiff crosswind -we bounced before the plane stabilized on the runway
Flight was 2 hr. delay, making me miss my connection to my final flight home to Roanoke. Now 12:38am in the morning and I just got the first available ticket at 5:30 pm tomorrow evening. Sleeping in the airport.
Crew was nice, meal was good. Entertainment had to be rebooted 3 times and still did not work. Turns out there was residue on screen, it needed to be cleaned to prevent the touchscreen buttons from continuously activating. I had entertainment for the last 45 minutes of a 5 hour 45 minute flight. Really unacceptable for first class. Flight attendent indicated your cleaning solution creates this problem. Seems as if this is widely known, you should be using a different product or cleaning better. Really really disappointing which simply added to the wi fi on your planes with reliably never ever works.
Long flight but comfortable and not freezing as I have experienced on Hawaiian flights to the islands. They gave us blankets just in case. Nice touch.
NEVER MADE THE FLIGHT BECAUSE DELTA SAID THEY CAN NOT
bulkhead seat had very little legroom - even in bsiness class.
I didn't take this flight. I changed the flight. Why am I getting surveys and notifications on flights that I change. Seems like a defect with Kayak.
I loved having a most black flight crew during Black History Month; rather by design or accident I appreciated the representation. ❤️
It was great. I really love the app. User friendly and very comprehensive when it comes to having information at my fingertips tips related my travel.
Seat would not recline, and charger did not work. Person in front of me reclined before we took off and left it reclined when they got off the plane. Nobody ever told them to put their seat in upright position....which meant I was somewhat trapped in my window seat when deplaning. Another passenger had to go to their seat and un-recline so I could get out.
- delayed because video screens not working - delayed getting a gate at DCA Just continued bad experience IAH to DCA.
I couldn’t give an honest evaluation, because the Houston airport has a problem and I was stand up for several hours and after a long trip from Munich I feel really very tired
The experience was good overall; however, my United Airlines Mileage Plus Account didn't reflect my flights to Houston from Newark. In essence, my mileage rewards points do not reflect my actual travel. This should be corrected.
Good flight, even though there was a delay, still got back on time
First class flight crew was barely available. They came through 3 times while we were on the plane for nearly 4 hours.
Really old place. Not as clean as it should be, tray tables needed better cleaning. The items, trays and some other items need to b6 engineered. Anything task you or crew may do is incredibly load, seriously engineer for quiet smooth, easy. Just opening and closing the tray table is actually dangerous and can easily injure a finger. I'm sure it happens as it happened to me! First time I used United and likely will be the last!
The leg space between me and the seat in front of me was excellent.
The seats were uncomfortable. The flight was almost 9 hours and they didn’t serve lunch
Platinum status. 65 people in the upgrades list. When everyone is special No one is
Great for a small Commuter. Quiet and relaxing. Seats were better than most.
The flight was ok, i understand Houston-Dallas is a short distance. The plane is really small: no TV, no snacks, but other than that, all was good. We had a bid delay but luckily it did not affect my connection
Forced to check bags. Crew uninterested in collecting trash. Unclean seats.
There's nothing I liked about it. For first off I scheduled this trip two weeks in advance then they delayed my flight which messed up my whole trip. So I scheduled it for the following weekend thinking there won't be a delay and guess what as soon as I got to the airport we said in the airplane on the tarmac for an hour and a half. Not only was it delayed I missed my connecting flight meaning I had to stay the night at Dallas-Fort Worth airport sleeping on the floor. I will tell you this I will never fly American airlines ever again I have had nothing but horrible experience with them and I just throw money at them
They changed my seat from one that I had paid for as an upgrade to a regular seat at the last minute.
Very aggressive and unhelpful ground crew. Wanted to check my hand luggage for 3 flights. I had lots of delicate items and computer equipment. So the silly lady wanted to rebook 3 international flights because of a carry on. What nonsense. The baggage handler suggested I put it under my seat - so I did. And this was during the rebooking chaos of the Microsoft crash. She was the most arrogant annoying and aggressive ground staff member I’ve met in 20yrs. (AA flight out of Houston).
Was as expected. Good leg room on planes - much appreciated.
I know that there is nothing than can be done about rude customers. I did find a couple of them were very rude and inconsiderate In my case the guy who was sitting in the same row as I was in, was trying to watch a movie with no headphones, a crew member did ask him to turn it down or off (thumbs up for that.) Another thing, as we were about to land another young man must have taken his phone off airplane mode was talking with his friends and using fowl language which I found inappropriate to the ppl who were sitting in the same row as him and other ppl around him. I understand how no one wanted to address this person and not get involved. We all just wanted to get home safely with out any incident.
The food service was limited and not good. For a seven hour flight they could do better.
