The plane arrived 25 minutes late, and the Wi-Fi was slower than it usually is.

Forget beverage, they didn't even have water for half the passangers?

Can not wait for seating change to reduce the amount of pre boards - it’s disheartening the abuse. And then then deplaning

If your boarding Military, it should be with ore board, and with my spouse, so rude and stupid to not let us board together and before a group. All the other airlines clearly understand Military courtesy, this is why I Rarely fly SWA and Always fly Alaska

I boarded last because of my boarding assignment and was given a middle seat at the back of the plane. I’m 6”1” so it was really tight. I wish I just had a seat assignment instead of a general boarding group. My bag was way at the front and my seat at the back. Was never offered a beverage and had no room to move.

Flight was ok. Boarding wasn’t fun. Flights were delayed by 12 minutes on each leg.

Terrible. Plane was at gate for 30 minutes before boarding. Boarding took 30 min. Then the co pilot announces that the plane has the minimal amount of fuel it needed. So we waited at the gate on board without air conditioning for 42 minutes while the plane took on additional fuel. My question to Southwest Airlines. Why didn’t you add the fuel to the plane before you allowed boarding to a plane without air conditioning in 102 degree heat.

Flight was not full! Had a whole row to myself.

The 700 model seating is too tight both seat size & leg room

There was over a 9 hour delay for one thing after another. A toilet problem, they had to change the brakes, they had to refuel, three pilots times out, etc. We had to sit on the plane at the gate for over 5 hours with no air.

I can't say yet as I'm still waiting for my luggage. I thought I had given my TSA # before my first flight but it wasn't on my boarding pass so my initial flying to my destination I wasn't able to utilize the device. I called Alaska Airlines and had it added to my profile. It still wasn't on my boarding pass so I had to go to an agent and have it added which took extra time as there was a line of people waiting to be helped.

I am a novice flier, I had a 4 hr layover in Seattle, I check my email and my Alaska app often and there no notifications. When it got closer to boarding time no one was there. I went to the information booth and a wonderful woman named Rana told me the flight gate had been change. I had an anxiety moment, I had to take 3 trains to get to the other side of the terminal, which made me frozen with fear, thankfully Rana took me the whole way otherwise I would have never made it . I am disappointed there were no notifications on the app or online. But I can’t say enough about the Help Rana gave me. If there is any way she could be awarded an appreciation acknowledgment it should be done. Thank you

Love Alaska planes. New. Used to have music while boarding. Neon lights. Excellent service. Always. But no screens. And weird reclining method.

The flight left over 3 hours late. A member of the team informed me of a new plane coming in so I had all of the info. That was good. Most disturbing was the flight attendant who was loudly “training” a new flight attendant rather negatively. She also announced to the plane that there was a new flight attendant and to be patient with her. I Felt really uncomfortable and felt badly for the new flight attendant. It didn’t seem appropriate to have this loud training going on in front of the passengers.

Alaska is always good. Happy polite employees, great airlines. I can’t say that about some of the others !

We purchased tickets and were last to board while standby passengers were boarding before us. The WiFi wasn't working and the same thing happened on our last Alaska flight. The snack provided was vegan I wasn't going to chance eating that on a 6 hour flight incase it didn't agree with me.

Smooth boarding, smooth flight. Crew was good. I can't believe 5 hours went by so quickly!

Well, the flight hasn’t taken off yet… it will be 2 hours late by the time the t does…

Flight was initially delayed 1 hour, but said come to gate at scheduled time in case plane shows early. Then the flight was delayed several times over for a total of 3.5 hrs for 1.5hr flight. The only compensation was $12 to get a water and some chips. Cant seem to fly anymore without some issue.

Connection in Seattle was almost a disaster. Departure gate was changed but Departure display was never updated. Quite a few people were waiting at the original gate and had to run to new gate after it was discovered online. Display never updated.

The seating was very cramped. The selection of movies was poor.

Checking bags was horrible. Scales read different weights. The airport is hot and in desperate need of refurbishment.

I paid for the extra legroom and those seats were no different than the regular ones. I saw many tall people in great discomfort having been conned by this supposed upgrade. We left an item on the plane in Sydney but somehow it ended up in LAX and they refuse to bring it back unless we pay a huge fee. Everything else was fine but I feel conned out of my money.

The attendant was rude. The headphone port didn't work well. The entertainment screen didn't work, only half the screen was responding. Seats were very uncomfortable and I could feel the knees of the person behind me in my lower back.

They boarded the plane late and the flight was delayed. It was delayed because of the catering they said. It was around 30 mins late to Honolulu.

Liked promptness of boarding and take off. Enjoyed warm breakfast sandwich and cookie, with water throughout flight. Thought there would have been more entertainment options on a 5 hour flight.

Overall, the experience was good, but not special in any way. Fortunately, the flight was quite short. There was no one at the check-in kiosks to answer questions or help. The top of my armrest fell off when I grabbed it to stand up. One hates to see the plane falling apart!

We had to change planes twice and was shown complete. Disregard when showing our natural frustrations with staff… Makes me very reluctant to fly on Hawaiian Airlines ever again.

Two issues: (1) There's NO outlet to charge the LT. (2) There was no alternative food for people who don't eat pork, so I didn't eat.

Polite answers from food service crews would be appreciated. Accommodating Vegans and Vegetarians by Hawaiian Airlines will provide better customer orientation. please pass this comment to Chairman and CEO. There is no meaning to calling Kauai a garden island when it's airline cannot provide a vegetarian sandwich made of vegetable slices inside bread.a

Seats are outdated. Entertainment relies on personal device. Boarding was delayed due to inaccurate passenger tracking, resulted in late arrival at Reno.

Excellent staff helping my 96 year old senior promptly with her oxygen needs

The crew and flight was amazing. I haven't flown United in years but plan to switch to you being my main airline

As usual, United scheduling is completely misleading. A 54-minute layover at O’Hare is too short to make a lot of connections, especially since the flight landed “on time” but had to wait on the taxiway 15 minutes for a gate to open up. Then it takes another 10 minutes to exit the plane before one can run to another concourse to catch a connecting flight.

I am not an electronic savy. I don't know how to maneuver the APPS for services. Why can't I just buy food without the apps.

This was a short flight with no food. The attendants were great but the comfort was poor: just to cramped. The flight from Denver to Frankfort was excellent! Seating was roomier, food was good, service was good. This was a great experience.

Flight was quite late as there was no pilot Crew is usually excellent, this flight not as good as usual there were more mistakes, slower and less friendly service But honestly the aircraft was too cramped and uncomfortable for a 4 hour flying get so, do to the aircraft liability the very best you could ever do is mediocre.

Flight was ok. Unfortunately it was a Boeing 737, which is a cramped / tight airplane. I prefer the Airbus as they are a more comfortable flight experience.

when you can say you don't remember being at any point upset during a flight, the airline is winning .

Absolute disaster. Rude, uncooperative staff. Staff ignores and pretends you don’t exist when you are asking them a question. Erroneous departure gate and baggage claim information. Equipment not working for purchase of drinks. Overly expensive baggage check-in fees. Overly crowded. Dirty airplane. Passengers coughing incessantly as if they were being gassed. Circled airport in flight several times and waited on the tarmac for 1.5 hours. The worst experience ever. Consider another industry. The travel industry is not for you.
