Terrible check in experience, and they ended up losing our bag.
Well, the baggage porter on Maui told my mom that our carry on luggage was overweight and if she gave him a 50 dollar tip he would let it go through. She tipped him and he tells us that he needs my Alaska airlines cc to waive the extra baggage charge. Find out later that since my original reservation was not under my name using a Hawaiian airlines CC, I would have to pay for the luggage anyway. I told them I had to end up paying for my daughters ticket when you all said because she turned two using my Alaska Airlines cc, now they need to charge me for her seat/flight, but you guys didn't care and i ended up paying for the bags and my mom paid the porter 50 dollars extra for nothing .. It was a crappy experience. First it was a multi trip. PDX-HNL then HNL-OGG then OGG to PDX. All bought under one ticket. My daugher turned two during the flight from HNL-OGG, but when I bought the ticket and at the PDX airport they said since i bought the ticket before she was two, everything is fine. come to find out no, I had to pay her ticket HNL-OGG and again OGG to PDX. you guys scammed me. You should say it on your website and make sure people know that during flights if the child turns two they have to pay for their seat. If i knew that from the very beginning i would have bought her ticket and it would have been LESS than paying TWICE for her flight! and you scammed my mother with you porter who told her to pay him 50 dollars and he would take care of the extra luggage weight.
Flight was great. Boarding was crazy because another flight was boarding late next to ours so everyone was standing and in the way.
It was a quick flight, but coffee would have been great!
I can honestly say in the 54 years of my life this was the worst flying experience I have ever had. I was delayed on the tarmac going into Dallas for an hour and 2 hours on the tarmac leaving Dallas. a 4 hour flight turned into a 6 hour flight due to Alaska incompetence. To be honest I will never take another Alaska flight.
I am mobility challenged and ground crew were accommodating to my needs. One must walk up a ramp to board Alaska planes. Terminal to tarmac to ramp to plane.
The attendances were very thorough and pleasant during the entire trip. The pilots did an excellent job keeping us posted on what to expect. The landing in Portland was executed professionally and perfectly. Boarding was delayed a half hour. But given the times were in, that was no surprise. All in all, my preference is to fly only Alaska Airlines for their reliability and professional service.
Our big luggage never made it to Boston. Very crucial to get it ASAP as heart medication is in there.
Awesome just like that we have a timeline flying Alaska.
All good! No entertainment on this new plane yet but ok for this short flight. Great on time flight! Thanks
