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.
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.
I was happy with my whole experience, and it was a smooth flight. Thank you
Checking in was very easy. Boarding and the flights went smoothly.
Kind of a long flight to not have TVs on the plane in my opinion
Rude staff from baggage check to gate crew. Poor instructions. Inconsistent application of baggage rules.
more room in seats, larger snacks, more comms with delays
The plane was a rather tired 737-800, with old style small luggage bins. Poor air flow. USB charger in the infotainment system was not functioning. The flight was 2 hours late due to crew rest requirements (not their fault). On arrival in Seattle, waited on the tarmac for 30 minutes with very few updates from the crew.
One of the restrooms didn’t work. The ones that did never got replenished. Flight attendant just sitting there on their phone. No notification that the bathroom was broken so long lines. Apathetic crew.
I am in a wheelchair The gate agent knew exactly how to boarding A wheelchair first also the flight attendant knew exactly what she was doing
Not really a “Delta” problem but worth mentioning: Boarding was a difficult process. TSA seemed understaffed and Pre-Check took longer than regular TSA. The supervisor was frazzled and yelled at travelers. Once through TSA, we had to put our carry-ons through another x-ray machine. Then queue up to board with both boarding pass and ID. Then, when we got to the stairs on the tarmac, we had to show our boarding pass again. Maybe this is just normal for Kona since the terminal is outdoors (but still a “secured” area).
Checkin was good, fllight ws good. Onlly complaint is lack of foot on 6 hour flight from Seattle to Boston. Snacks were flimsy - chips and cookies. could have offered something more substantial for such a long flight. I know you can buy food in airport but for the price you pay for a ticket, they should step up for the passengers.
It was fine. 55 minute flight. No snacks or beverage service offered. Boarding went smoothly and my walker was waiting for me on the jet way.
Prior to takeoff, the pilot told us there was a possibility of not being able to land and going to Portland. Well that happened, we took off and then did 8 loops around Spokane before the pilot told us we ran out of fuel and had to go to Portland. So for a 35 minute flight we have now been on the plane for 3 hours (boarded at 6:50 am and landed in Portland at 10:30). Then, we just sat in Portland's airport with no updates of when we can start heading back. All of a sudden, our pilots and crew just left, leaving us stranded in a different city and state. We continued to sit in Portland until we finally got a new crew assigned and boarded the plane (This was from 10:30-2). We then sat on the plane for an additional hour before take off because they had to count us multiple times. We finally landed in Spokane at 3:55 PM. So a flight that should have taken at max an hour took us 10 hours and we missed the majority of the recruiting event we went for.
I appreciated being upgraded. I was very disappointed with my 13 hr layover in Seattle to geg, while my friends who flew Alaska made it home as scheduled. I had to reserve a hotel on my dime.
