Affirmed my disability by allowing me to board when most accessible. Very parable, helpful and friendly staff. Smooth flight overall! I always fly Alaska when possible! Thank you!

Typical domestic flight. No entertainment. You have to use your own devices and provided entertainment didn’t work. Pretzels and water of flight over 4 hours is unacceptable. Meals should be provided on long flights. But it’s about the money and not customer service. You should just issue the bag of pretzels at the gate and water bottle in seat and just do away with flight attendants because they do nothing on domestic flights

In both halves of the trip (going and returning) there were problems. Not exactly Alaska's fault, but still really difficult. Outgoing flight was canceled and rebooked twice due to a total ground stop of all Alaska's flights. This required me to change airports with minimal notice and I almost missed my flight transferring to the other airport (which was roughly an hour and a half away). On the return, the first leg was delayed by an hour, and the second leg was delayed by nearly 3 hours. This was a rough set of flights and the communication about all of these changes was minimal. Crew did their best however, so no fault there. Other thing to remember is there is no food on Alaska flights unless you pre-order. Take that into account when you choose airlines.

Crew was very friendly. Our bags showed up at the carousel within 20 minutes of arrival.

The setting on the loudspeaker was painful and the crew member who did the talking spoke very quickly and repetitively, with extra little jokes that were distracting and mostly unfunny. I doubt that the main messages penetrated the noise.

The Alaska app and website were not fully operational. I had to spend about 15 minutes at the counter doing things that should have been completed online. The agent was very nice and helpful, however.

Good. They checked my bag FOR FREE so I didnt have to try to hoist it up into the overhead compartment. Also, they served free beverages, which I appreciated.

From my interactions with the Oakland airport staff through TSA through the gate agents to the flight crew on Hawaiian they were just so kind professional and helpful.. the only thing I would add would be the they need more help and TSA and on the Hawaiian airlines flight it would be so much nicer for them to play beautiful Hawaiian music on the way over there.. they didn't start playing it until right before we landed..

Staff was very friendly. Flight was on time and arrived early. Flight was comfortable.

1). You should probably add the option of N/A to your list of choices. I really can't rate the food on the trip because it was a two hour flight that I mostly slept through. 2). Alaska airlines did a great job with communicating that the flight has been delayed due to fog in Seattle (safety first), and with getting us to our destination safely and smoothly. Something that is really appreciated by a person who is terrified of flying 😅

Ever since Southwest starting charging for bags, passengers don't want to pay to check their bags, so the gate agents have to beg people to check their roller bags now because there's "not enough space". This was a terrible business move by Southwest.

Delayed flight. Nicest crew member was a SW pilot flying seated next to me who kindly move to seat the final passenger. Flight extra delayed. My cup of refreshment of ginger ale was so packed with ice it was literally 2 sips.

We had a nice flight. Boarding was easy, our seats were comfortable and the on board service was pleasant.

Service was great, boarding and exiting went smoothly, and the flight was very pleasant.

Southwest Airlines is behind the times with a woefully inefficient service animal policy that leads to major inconsistency and stress for passengers and crew alike. Despite so many attempts to share feedback and request better support, they bungled it once again and provoked a panic attack in the process, with no apologies or acknowledgment that their crew was failing to adhere to their own inadequate policies. WiFi didn’t work, flight was delayed by an hour, it was about what I’ve come to expect from Southwest these days.

Flights were full but SWA still managed to get everyone loaded and depart on time. No snack or beverage service on the first leg due to turbulance. Seats were clean but very little cushioning. Reasonable amount of leg room.

Our flight to Oakland was great bc the plane was new but it was delayed by 15min not bad at all. Over all it was an 8/10

Our flight to Vegas was delayed by almost two hours - I appreciated the updates but it was a bummer of a start to a celebratory trip. The delays meant we missed our dinner reservations we made a month ago so that was disappointing. Once we got to the gate, though, the crew did all they could to make up for the lost time and to keep it efficient and enjoyable, so I appreciate their efforts!!

There was a problem that delayed boarding for more than 20 min. and once everyone was on board, the plane did not take off for another 30 min. which then made our arrival in Phoenix 1 hour late.

Our two flights from GRR to MDW and MDW to OAK were both delayed due to weather. Be sure to build in a sufficient buffer in the transfer time to account for this type of problem. SW recommends connections as short as 40 min. Don't do this. We had to change concourses in MDW, a pretty long walk, to make our connection. Rule of thumb I use when traveling on flights with multiple legs is for connections of 80 min or more, unless there is no plane change, in which case it doesn't matter.

Subpar. The seating on the plane is almost unbearable. We are literally touching and/or sitting on each other which is totally unacceptable and shameful. Pilots and crew was very accommodating and friendly.

I love Delta the flight attendants were personable and the flight arrived 1/2 earlier thanks expected. All a plus. The gate agent was a bit flustered but even with that I still had a good experience. Her supervisor assisted me.

two hour delay and the Delta representative on the PA system was unable to understand

Very good flight crew and very nice people staff were incredible especially the gate agent

The flight was delayed for about 2 hrs. Other than it, it was good.

My issue was with TSA agents for delta airlines. My luggage got flagged. The agent was going thru another persons first. He took 20 min to go thru hers. I asked them to bring mine closer so I could sit down . They said you can go sit it will be fine. I said I am supposed to keep my eyes on my bags at all times. The agent was meticulously unwrapping 2 gifts that the lady had and then tried to re warp it. He was trying to be kind i get it but 20 min for me to stand watching him do that was ridiculous. It was 6 am and there were a ton of travelers. Mine was flagged for some air packed tea that I bought in Turkey. My previous delta flight and 2 others before didn’t flag it. Consistency would be nice. Also on the flight the window shades were down for take off and landing - I thought that was very odd I thought they had to remain open for take off and landing.

The crew was wonderful and attentive. The seats near exit row were restrictive. Offer healthy snacks please

I was with one of the last zones to board. It was kind of annoying to finally get called to board and my whole section was already on the plane. Clearly they boarded with previous zones. So by the time I got on board, there were no spaces for my luggage above my head. I had to put my luggage 4+ rows behind me, which meant that I had to wait even longer to get off the plane, since I had to wait for those rows to clear the aisle before I could retrieve my luggage and exit the plane. This also held up the plane cleaners, as they couldn't service my row until I cleared it, so they were all standing there waiting for me, while I'm standing there waiting for the other passengers to clear the aisle. Anyways, I wasn't in a rush this time, so I just waited, but I could see that being a problem in the future. Now, I could have checked my luggage, of course, but coincidentally, a friend of mine on the same flight got their luggage damaged (wheel completely knocked off) and was told by the Baggage Attendant in the airport that Delta doesn't "cover wheel damage" on luggage. This was disappointing to hear. I'm glad I didn't check mine through. If it were my luggage, I'd be highly frustrated to hear that. It makes me not want to check my luggage in the future.

Flight did not have seat back entertainment and the wifi was iffy.

Flight boarded and didn’t take off on time. No worjing entertainment or power socket one side of the plane.

Great staff. Clean plane, but we were delayed for more than an hour due to maintenance issues and had to board another plane.

Lost one piece of luggage even though I checked in 2.5 hours before the flight

Was on time until within 1 hour of flight-how does that happen? Staff very friendly.

How badly can you screw up baggage claim? We were told to go to baggage claim too for our bags from this flight. Another flights bags were there. They finished up. More bags from a different flight arrived. Our bags did not Finally the baggage claim belt stopped working and and are flight was still listed on the arrivals for that baggage claim 2. And then nothing It turns out that they had been delivered not only the United baggage claim but far away on a Delta baggage claim No I never told us. It was only the people looking around who had been on the flight But I’m sure there was plenty of time for the employees to raffle through the bags and steal whatever they wanted

There was no USB plug in my section of the plane. So I could not charge my phone. Also, there was no screen to watch movie or anything like that. Wish I had known that in advance, I would’ve brought my iPad.

Long wait before take off without an update for 20 minutes. Flight was good otherwise.

On time take off…US cabins look tired and need of refresh!

Flight delayed from Cape Town to Washington then got diverted to miami and in miami we had to fend for ourselves , im still trying to get to Shreveport now

The flight attendant handled a situation in which an angry passenger was demanding to use his own supplemental oxygen equipment firmly but graciously.

Just a crappy airline. The same every time. You feel you are a cow on a farm. You are being being whipped and pulled.
