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.
Flight attendants made this flight wonderful. They made sure everyone had what they needed and anticipated future needs. They made adjustments as needed. It was clear this was an experienced crew.
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
I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!
Everything went smooth from check in, thru TSA, then boarding, and a smooth flight to ATL.
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.
Fast, lovely scenery, great info on the Delta flight screen about landmarks we were flying over. Great landing!
Delta needs to step its game up get a more reliable internet service. Internet service was non-existent for this flight.
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. ❤️
The Pilot was one of the best I've had, very informative about turbulence and got us to our destination early
Friendly boarding crew. Better could have been a bit more substantial food for this 3 plus hour flight.
1 person checking us as we boarded, left gate on time, 12.30 we are told we were held for 15 mins as other flights were waiting to take off, captain due to rain … they were having a longer gap between take offs , 3pm we took off , they went land route via New Orleans in to Florida landed at 5.45pm offered coffee and a biscuit
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.
Clean and plenty of room for handbaggage. Leg room was cramped compared with the 777 from Frankfurt.
Cramped and uncomfortable seats. Not enough room for 6’2” person such as myself.
We were delayed three times ,and that destroyed my plans, and reservations
The reps working at the airport counter were dumber than a second coat of paint.
Delayed each time on a round trip with no significant weather interference. Updates to flight times came after the fact. 30 min behind in boarding and board and phone still show an on time departure. Some mysterious extra 300 miles that came so surprising they had to fuel while we were already on board?
Airline changed the gate from Terminal A to Terminal D which is quite far and only sent a text message few minutes before boarding. Around 50 people missed their flight and as plane didn’t wait for them.
Bad experience… crew are extremely strict with personal bags… they overcharge me coz my bag was one inch H
Well I mean u get what u pay for so 🤷♂️
I purchased a carry on bag online…was supposed to cost $72 but after a whole slew of bs charges, the total was over $175.00. Because of these hidden charges, I will not even consider flying Frontier ever again. It’s just not worth the hassle. I’m scratching this company off my list forever.
Plane was clean but they do not allow bag drop until 1 hour before flight. Just encouraging late fees and other issues. The worst I have experienced. Total hostage situation, pay or you miss your flight.
Everything was good, and most importantly on time. They have been extremely tardy in some of my flights
Flight delayed an hour. The turbulence was insane. Packed in like sardines. A coke was $4.95 no snack or a drink crazy
