I bought the cheapest ticket. No meal, no checked luggage so I didn't expect much and was surprised by how good the flight and service was. Alaska is now my favorite airline.

Comfortable seat, plenty of leg room which is so rare, overhead bin comfortably accommodated my carry-on bag. Deli box was tasty, service was good, bathrooms were clean. Uneventful flight, which I appreciate. Departed on time and landed early.
No entertainment, food was cookies & juice,water, soda or coffee.
My baggage was in another flight, anit was delayed for one hour.
The maintenance delay was seemingly handled very poorly... Little to no information was provided to the passengers sitting on board for an extended period of time. On a brighter note, at least the cabin crew (flight attendants) did the best they could. They seemingly were provided very little information with regards to the delay. Unless absolutely beyond my control, I can’t imagine buying a ticket on Alaska airlines again, based on this and a previous experience my wife recently had, along with complaints overheard from other passengers.
They oversold my flight by 9 seats so when I went to check in I was not assigned a seat and the only one available if I didn’t want to chance it were 100 dollars more
The seats were incredibly small and the attendants were grumpy the whole time.
Too many people with oversized carry-ons. Uncomfortable seats. flight was too crowded.
My flight went off without any hitch or issue. I anticipate issues every time I fly, luckily, I was wrong on this trip.
I am an avid customer to Alaska Airlines and I was so disappointed with my flight experience on flight 639 with service from Phoenix to Seattle. This flight was supposed to take off at 7am. We sat on the airplane for an hour before we had to deplane due to a mechanical issue, which is fine. The agents working at the desk let us know that they would update us every 30 minutes with new information about our flight and that at the moment they were only helping customers who, due to the delay, would miss their connecting flights in Seattle, which was understandable. 1.5 hours went by before we got our first update of “unfortunately there is no update” finally, after 3 hours of waiting with hardly any update, I got in line with the rest of the passengers to figure out my next move due to the fact that I was supposed to be at a wedding that night and that I had spent a lot of money to make that morning flight. After sitting in line for over an hour to get help, I decided to call customer service to see if they could help me rebook a flight just in case, to which the agent said she could rebook me for a flight at 3:31pm that had 3 seats left on the flight. So I took it with the hopes that I would at least make the dinner portion of the wedding. I spoke to the gate agent and asked how I could retrieve my bags and he said they will be moved over to my new flight (2 gates down). Finally after being at the airport for 10 hours, it was time for me to hop on my new flight before I came to find out that I was on the standby list after being told that I had 1 of 3 seats that were left. I went and talked to the new agent to which he said, “yeah sorry there was a family who was after you on the waitlist so we gave them priority, so now there are 3 people ahead of you so you may actually not get on this flight.” All I could think about was how frustrated I was that I paid over $400 for a flight to get told that I may not make it home anytime soon. Finally, somehow a kind person gave up their seat for me to get on with compensation for him. When I mentioned that I had been at the airport since 5am (10+ hours) verbatim the gate agent said, “yeah that sucks, but it happens” absolutely no sympathy or support whatsoever. I then asked about my bag and if it was moved to this flight and the gate agent told me “they may not have had time to move it over so you might not get your bags today” so from my understanding from 11am when I changed my flight until 3:31pm my bag didn’t have time to move two gates? That seems ridiculous. Luckily I checked my app and it showed that it was moved. It was a long day of terrible customer service, no updates for new flights, long wait times, no compensation besides $12 for food that I didn’t even receive to my email until I landed in Seattle, having to wait 35 minutes for my bag at baggage claim upon my arrival in Washington, all to miss a wedding that I should have been a huge part of. So disappointing for someone who religiously flies with Alaska and has 4 or 5 more trips over the next few months with the airline and not a single dollar or mile returned for poor service.
