It was nice this is not the first time flying with Alaska

Overall, it was a good flight. My only quip- they made us check our carry on bags when there was plenty of overhead space left. My wife and I thought maybe the aircraft was really full, but that wasn’t the case. There were a number of open seats, and even more overhead compartments with no luggage. A minor annoyance, sure, but when we intentionally didn’t check luggage to make it easier, it was disappointing to have to do it anyways.

Easy fast check in, friendly and cordial crew. Comfortable seats

I paid an extra $100 for a seat upgrade including complimentary drinks, no drinks were served due to a few minutes of minor turbulence. They said they would return, they didn’t’. Sad…

racist and disturbing flight attendants who profile, attack, and demean. i was on flight 1045 on january 31st 2025.

It was good. We left on time and arrived on time. The crew were pleasant and helpful. I plan to continue traveling on Alaska Airlines in the future.

Flight was delayed 30 mins due to logistics, but it didn't affect travel plans in a significant way.

Stay away from there non refundable tickets, they don't have a medical exceptions.

No hot water on a plane so no hot beverages , seats are cramped

Employees need to take control to boarding with order everybody makes line at same time

Delta is always late. Ruined our first day of a short vacation. Timing is important. We pay to stay on an itinerary

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

First The flight got delayed because one of the crew members was late and we couldn’t board until she arrived. Then we all boarded and got held in the tarmac for another 30 min.

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

Be on time? When not on time a circling for over an hour offer more than 1 bag of chips to the passengers? It was a 7 hour flight by the time we got done.

Long story short, it was one of the better flight experiences I've had in some time when compared with other airlines.

Generally on time departures and arrivals, clean planes, sky miles membership provides great benefits (complimentary upgrades, etc).

N Everything was perfect from boarding to assistance to baggage in Tampa

Fast, lovely scenery, great info on the Delta flight screen about landmarks we were flying over. Great landing!

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.

Fabulous if you have a portable wheelchair. They can store it in the galley and you can just walk out with it. Really nice and the flat seats are just incredible, very nice. iPads for movies, also pretty nice,

Good and friendly staff. Nicely enjoyed the complimentary drink and snack.

I was very, very cold and a stranger loaned me her sweater next to me. I didn’t wanna buy a blanket just for a four hour trip when I did not need the pillow or the earphones. I don’t mind purchasing a blanket, but I only needed that not all of it accessories. Cold air pretty much blew the entire trip. Two people in front of me both bought the blanket packages. Maybe that’s the idea. The crew was exceptionally nice and passed through multiple times.. the restrooms were very clean and usually accessible.

What an amazing flight. I haven’t experienced this level of service in a flight in years. This will be the only way to fly to Hawaii for me in the future.

The flight was great! The flight attendants were friendly and attentive. I would definitely fly Hawaiian Aurlines again!

You have to buy the ear buds and they only offers little cup of water twice.

Overall it was a good flight, but the food should be looked at. No options. The seat was also uncomfortable and very tight.

The middle name gave us so much issue at check in we had done middle names when booking but Hawaiian/Alaska don’t recognize the middle names and gave us problems at check in. We have never experienced that before.

I did not board neither one of my flights because It got delayed and I had to be at my destination at a certain time

I feel that their union dispute when merging with Hawaiian Airlines is effecting their customer service. The LA to Zihua flight was more tolerable than my PDX to LA but I was treated poorly by the Alaskan staff at PDX which left a bad taste in my mouth and ruined my day.

Gate 461 the worst in LAX Boarding lacks professionalism And as usual, your food sucks.

With a 24 hour delay, the Flight stared off rough. They had a nationwide IT Outage but communications to Passengers was very bad. Ground Staff and Ticket Agents were extremely rude and unhelpful. Perhaps they should take ground training from DL or Qatar. The food was horrible. Seafood was mixed with Bacon. Those two don’t have any space for Jewish or Muslim Faith Customers. The Airline needs new management.

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

My luggage never made it, I booked business class only to find out I’m sitting in the back. Very disappointed with the reservation

The boarding and fllight were good. The reason for the ok rating was the long walk to get to the transport to finally get to the gate.

Crew was great! Food sub-bar, tepid & flavorless. No snack options on trans-atlantic flight. Premium Economy seats ok, leg rest wouldn’t stay in place.

Entertainment system did not function. USB ports did not function. Wi-Fi did not function. Terrible trifecta…

Luggage did not make it onto my plane. Business seats were economy with empty row seat. Just horrible experience. Why would the company allow for transfers that don’t give employees enough time to transfer luggages??

The gate experience at LAX was abysmal (same for the arrival experience two days prior). Despite the LAX -> SAT schedule of two flights daily, our departure gate was at a smaller hub that we had to be bussed to from Terminal 4. Fortunately, I arrived at LAX extra early and had time to spare, but if I had not known, I might have missed my flight. I looked at the LAX airport map in the AA app and there was no indication of the additional boarding process. Lastly the gate area we were bussed to was crowded with limited food and beverage options. On flight, the fight attendant was hospitable and attentive, the flight was smooth, and AA's free (and working) wifi for AA members were all on the positive side.

The flight was very smooth and the meal in business class was great.

Overall a good red eye. Crew chatted very loudly the whole time making it difficult to sleep.

The fly was 2 hours delayed and the plane was old and dirty. A very umcorfotable flight, which I won't recomend to anyone

Confusion over extra fees. Held up on ramp during boarding. Thin seat cushion. Minimal leg room.

The check-in is either at a kiosk that didn’t allow me to check-in because my middle name was not on the reservation or at an agent that cost $15.

Liked on time, rear entry and exit from plane Dislike the use of duct tape to repair seat rests

The app doesn’t work. I am having a lot of trouble checking in for flight tomorrow. Very disconcerting. Then they es t to charge extra for checking in at the airport;(

To many extra fees, poor customer service and very uncomfortable flight. No leg room and seat wont recline.

Our flight got overbooked and we missed one day of our trip.

Be prepared to pay extra for everything! I'm not sure I really saved any money?

Check in at LAX was terrible. Unbelievable lines. Chaos. The landing in Morelia was scary, with the plane fishtailing. If other airlines flew directly between California and Morelia, I would never fly Volaris again.
