It was very good. I love flying with Alaska air.
Flying sucks these days. No airline is better than another. Alaska Air At least gives you some pretzel snacks. That is about all I can say for it.
It's a pity we missed our flight by 2 minutes.
The flight check-in process was awful. At Seattle Tacoma Airport the Alaska employees couldn’t properly tell me how to/where to drop of my checked “ski” bag which I had already paid for. Boarding was slow and disorganized as well. The baggage claim in Denver was almost as bad with broken carousels (airport employees had to carry bags out to us by hand) taking over an hour!
Boarding for Alaska Airlines is always chaotic with many people crowding the gates. Arriving in on Alaska in Los Angeles is always interesting since there is never a gate available. So the planes are often parked all the way out on the west side of the airport while waiting for the gate to be cleared of the departing plane. This flight was no exception.
The would have rated higher, but I asked for a cup of coffee twice and never got one. Later found the crew sitting in the back having a meal and visiting. Just saying.
The flight was delayed almost an hour causing many passengers to be at jeopardy of missing their connecting flights. There was no help in providing passengers help with connections or allowing passengers with connecting flights to exit the plane in an expediated manner.
It would be great if the snack were appropriate for everyone
This was our fist time flying Alaska Airlines. Overall it was a great experience. Ticket counter, gate agents and flight attendants were all wonderful. They all seemed happy at what they do and it shows. Of 4 legs, the onboard WiFi was spotty on 1 leg. The food in first class cabin was ok. Couldn’t get the text messaging notifications to work so had to rely on Flight Aware and the Alaska App. Flights were on time and uneventful. We would def fly Alaska Airlines again :)
Had more room than other airlines, it seemed, which was nice!
