My experience was great with Alaska Airlines. Fantastic customer care
Employees are always helpful and professional. The flight was 30 minutes delayed but everything else went seemlessly.
Previously there were complimentary beverages served on short flights with Alaska Airlines. It was a very nice amenity and would love it if Alaska Airlines brought back that service!!
Initial flight was delayed, which caused me to miss my only connecting flight.
I'm tall and the seats do not have a headrest so its hard to get comfortable. Staff and checking were all great.
Don’t cancel the flight, had to spend a whole day sitting in the airport.
The flight attendant was very rude when I boarded. He expressed how he couldn't understand how I was able to bring two "oversized" bags onto the plane and "just this once" he would allow me to try to get my soft-sided duffle bag in the overhead compartment. These two oversized bags consisted of a roller computer bag that is small enough to fit under the seat of a small regional jet and a soft-sided duffle bag with a removal wheels system. Prior to the pandemic, I traveled for work twice a week. I suffer from neck and upper back issues and because of that, I researched carry-on luggage, looking for the smallest carry-on that would fit my needs, a 17" "under the seat" roller bag. How on earth is a bag, small enough to fit under the seat considered OVERSIZED? Then when I asked for an explanation, as I like to be an educated traveler, he got very indigent and "passed me off" to someone else to talk to me. The explanation I was given was it had to do with the wheels and the size of the luggage is not taken into consideration, REALLY? No one, in the general public would automatically understand that the presence of wheels on a piece of luggage would throw it in the Oversized" category and for the Alaska staff to not have the ability to make a logical decision and think for themselves to offer a reasonable level of customer service speaks to the culture of the company and where Alaska places customer service in their priorities. Your c-suite should spend a day with the Nordstrom's and learn a thing or two about creating a culture of reasonable and responsible customer service.
Shari, flight attendant was impatient and rude. I am a seasoned traveler and I know how passengers should be treated. We were boarding with family and we were trying to figure out our seat assignment and instead of lending us a helping hand she yelled at us and embarrassed us. We were literally there for less than 30 seconds and she made quite the show about us getting out of the isle instead of asking if we need assistance. I could not believe how rude she was. My husband and children were with me and can attest to her rudeness. After she yell at us to "get out of the isle, she literally went the opposite direction of the people boarding, towards the front of the plane and held up the flow of boarding herself. I think she has an attitude problem which needs to be addressed. It takes a lot to make me mad, I am a very peaceful person and because of her rudeness, I was upset. That is not the way passengers should be treated,
I liked that I arrived safety to Seattle then Honolulu . However, flight was delayed twice in Pasco. I still had to pay for checked in bag. My bag was lost and shown "still on counter at Seattle." I didn't get my bag until 8/2/24 in the evening when I arrived on 8/1/24. Terrible experience .
Alaska crew was so friendly and made the trip great.
dropped my bags at Seattle Delta curbside. 1.5 hours before departure. one bag oversized made it. the other was left at curb and mishandled. poor communication from delta in sjc baggage claim. No internet on flight and food choices in business are horrible. You are forcing us to fly Alaska which is shockingly better than the Delta experience. that is a low bar.
Aircraft without problems that leave on time, not 2 hours late with last minute gate changes across the terminal
Smooth flight. Left on time, and got in 15 minutes early. Onboard video was great
Flight was canceled, and no effort was made to help with rebooking, no hotel vouchers, no car transportation and minimal food voucher and most places for food were closed by the time the voucher was given. Waited for 3 hours for bags. Simply the worst travel experience I have ever had
My flight was 6 pm 6/6. Every hour they delayed it again - air condition issues then no pilot then the crew had worked too many hours and cancelled the flight at 11 pm. Sent customers to NJ a 45 minutes uber ride to a hotel. Had to be back by 5 am for a 7 am flight and again no pilot etc with another three hours of delays.
Delta flight was on time, seats were comfortable, and crew was nice.
Airline lost my luggage and set me back a day worth of travel due to having to stay in Denver to wait on my luggage
I'm a larger, athletic guy (6'2", 260lbs powerlifter) and I found the seats incredibly uncomfortable with minimal leg room, especially in a window seat. Now, I full understand that being smaller may change my view but even if I was 80lbs less, my legs would be the same size and I was sandwiched between my seat and the seat in front of me.
The helpful attitude of the staff, and being a wheelchair passenger everyone was helpful and understanding. The trip was made comfortable by the upgraded seat which was given without my request, that was a great surprise. Thank you Delta.
The flight attendants were friendly and seemed to like their jobs. I am not a high maintenance person, but they seemed to respond to people's needs and requests in a timely fashion with a smile.. I appreciate the benefits of complimentary snacks and beverages, as well as the relatively inexpensive checked baggage fee. (Although I would like it better if it were free! :) ) The only improvement that could be made to make the boarding process more efficient is to board the plane from the back. The alternative would be to board people with only a personal item first. This would reduce the wait time while others are stowing their baggage.
I need to note that this flight experience was generally fine but the boarding situation was absolutely a mess and there wasn’t any actual priority boarding. I rated the experience poorly because I’m am genuinely so frustrated with the crew on United taking the baggage space in first class. This flight it didn’t happen, but the last few flights (when I ironically don’t get an opportunity to provide feedback) have been spoiled because upon entering the first class cabin as one of the first few seated passengers, the overhead bins are full and ‘crew’’ tags are on the bags of those taking space. I don’t intend to infer some sort of a class or caste system but it’s absolutely ridiculous that the crew takes the overhead storage above and beyond their most loyal and lucrative customers. They should not even have economy space IMO. And I’ve gotten grief when I’ve noted to the crew the ridiculousness of the notion that the crew (who are the last off the plane) should have priority over flyers who pay. I hope you find a way to convey this message to United because it’s happening with increasing frequency and I intend to find a way to expose the specific crew members who are doing this on a flight by flight basis. (And I have a day job)
Seats needs to be wirer and food is very poor
Pretty much the exact same comments for this flight, there was crazy weather!
I have been flying united for a long time but now I’m done
1) United economy seats barely recline. 2) I have yet to get United WiFi to work, after numerous flights.
Had to cancel first flight because Airporter Bus took over 3 hrs to get to airport which resulted in an extra $378 dollar fare . Is there anyway I can be reimbursed for initial fare since it was not my fault? Sent from my iPhone EJ Ledet
They had three choices for snacks - but you could only have one - and they ran out of the dark chocolate before they made it all the way down the aisle... Packed flight - limited service.
We had selected seats in the app that were a 2x2 format in the middle of the plane. Our seats when we got on the plane had been moved to the back rows in a 3x1 format. What’s the point of paying up for tickets that allow seat selection if the airline will just change them?
Positive: Entertainment via phone on the short was great and my first time. Good food and wine and head phones for free. Negative: Seat hardly reclined on the long flight. Breakfast was an egg with a bun. No egg choices and rather have something sweet like bun/jam and Youghurt.
By in large it was a good experience. The flight crew was great and that's the most important to me. Boarding was fine.
