The seats were spacious and comfortable. Even in basic economy. However, the flight boarded 30 minutes late.

Alaska used to be a top notch airline. With it's growth it is now in line with the big airlines. Not bad, not great.

Great. I did have a little issue getting into the Lounge, which is likely more an American Airlines issue. I did not carry my physical AAdvantage Executive credit card with me on this trip, which Admirals Club membership is a part of the benefits of having this card. The instructions on the AA website and the Citi cards website make it seem like you don't need the physical card, as both sites state you can enter with your boarding pass and driver's license. But both lounges said you were required to present the physical card (and not the digital version, via Apple Pay), as only the physical card says "Admirals Club" on the back.I also do not have a physical Admirals Club membership card, so while both lounges eventually let me in, both denied me entrance initially for this reason.

Everything from the time I booked my flight through to the end when I got home was smooth and wonderful. Service was great, the flight attendants were attentive and there were no outstanding delays.

Delayed and no entertainment? I also forgot my headphones and immediately reported it and have not heard back yet.

The crew was very friendly. Boarding was quick and efficient.

You need categories to note when food and entertainment are not available. Alaska's system would not update flight info on the board for this flight, so there was some confusion after deplaning from the previous flight as to which gate and depart time were accurate for this flight.

we waited for 50 minutes to check a bag and missed a flight. do better.

The flight crew was very professional and pleasant. Our flight was delayed 3 hours, but Kayak informed me in advance

Before I even boarded this old white man , a fat Samoan lady, and a short brown guy were at the desk. They asked if we could have 15 volunteers to get free checked bags cause it was a full flight. I waited in line, I got up to the short brown guy and he asked for my boarding pass and I showed him, he said that he can’t check my bag because I wasn’t given a seat yet. So he had me go to the next line with the old white guy, but before I switched lines I asked him, well if I go to that line, will I be able to check my bag so I waited in line and he said yeah, it doesn’t matter , I’m good. So I switch lines and wait in the line of the old white man, with every guest before me he was very sweet , making small talk, smiling and had great eye contact( all of the people he was talking to was white) I come up and he doesn’t look at me , then says I’ll be right with you, I wait for him to initiate and when he does he’s like what’s up? I was like the man next to you told me I needed to get checked in before I can check my bag. He’s like what’s your last name and I say Valenzuela , and he said we’re not there yet, all while not smiling, no eye contact like he was with the other guests. He said we’re will call you when I get to you. So I go sit down and I’m sitting down for less than a minute and he calls me and someone else. I go up and say Valenzuela and he’s like who are you and I’m like Valenzuela , he’s like hmm and says don’t go anywhere and calls someone else. I finally get my seat and I go back to the short brown man and ask if I can check my bag and he said there isn’t any room available and I was like? Wait you told me and then the fat Samoan lady said yeah we don’t need anymore bags thank you. I was dumbfounded and just walked away. So rude. Terrible experience and terrible communication on their end.

Only downside was the legroom and seat width, which is always a problem unless I spend more for a premium seat.

Great flight but super high price. Glad it was a business trip and not personal

On time. Friendly staff. Took to long to pre bord all the specialty groups. Cramped small plane

No delays and arrived to destination 30 min early. Staff was super friendly.

Everything a cheap airline should be at normal airline rates.

Full cans of soda would be nice. A choice between two snacks would be appreciated.

Tried watching free movie and it kept freezing so I couldn’t finish.

I was re-booked onto another flight because my original flight was delayed and I would have missed my connector. I ended up in the “C” group after paying extra to be in the “A “ group on the original flight. At least if you’re going to re-book people, re-book them into the same group.

The Southwest employees (all two of them) were very nice and cheerful despite the fact the line to self-check a bag (simply drop it off) was hundreds of people long. Thank God I arrived early to the airport because I stood in this line for at least an hour. Once on the flight that had been delayed by an hour, we had no Wi-Fi and thus no entertainment. Finally, I hope the investor strong arm tactics against Southwest pay off in a short-term windfall to your C-Suite because the rest of you are screwed. I have been a faithful Southwest customer for 15 years due to everything you just got rid of. I'm flying to Idaho and Washington in October, both places I used to simply book with Southwest without a second thought now with Frontier (Washington) and United (Idaho) because they offer everything the "new" Southwest does but cheaper and at better times, destinations, etc. This really makes me sad...

Multiple delays and gate changes. Arrived at final destination 6 hours late. All rental cars had been taken.

Boarding and crew were fantastic, but I paid for a window seat with no window. Seat 11D on a CRJ-900 apparently does not have a window. Lesson learned.

Terrible. Four hour delay because Delta could not find crew to man the aircraft. Terrible communication. Terrible insight into the delays. One of the worst flight experiences I’ve had.

The landing was the worst I’ve experienced with a flight.

The crew, and fellow passengers, were super gracious and kind. There seemed to be plenty of bin space even though the plane was full. It’s nice to get a glass of wine with dinner in Premiere seating, and there was a lot of food.

First flight out and was 85 minutes delayed. Notification came out way too late

Delta flights recently are always delayed AND at jfk tney get the gates further away (need To walk 20’ to get to them/all the way at the end of the terminal). Not sure whats happening but price doesnt match experience!

Everything I mentioned earlier - the airbus was more comfortable indeed and the experience was further enhanced.

Delta continues to set the benchmark for traveler-friendly service with minimal disruption and clear communication within the mainland US (coast to coast). I am consistently pleased to be a Delta customer, and this experience once again met my expectations. There was a brief delay departing from MIA due to a technical issue that required the aircraft to return to the gate. However, the situation was handled professionally and transparently. Fortunately, my planned layover allowed ample buffer time, so the adjustment caused no stress. Overall, another smooth and reassuring experience.

Good experience and the flight landed early. There was no food I had or entertainment.

Flight was delayed and no reasons provided. After the passengers were boarded, the crew made announcement that the captain has jot arrived and he would take another 15 mins. All passengers patiently sat until the captain came and started. Terrible experience!

No charging outlets worked. Other than collecting trash attendants didn’t come around. No one could hear flight attendants announcements during the flight. Seat pads were horrible. Sitting on a board for 5 hours. What happened to Hawaiian airlines comfort, hospitality, and extras? Our pilots did an excellent job trying to minimize turbulence and incredible job in landing in windy conditions.

I like that if they asked you to checked in a bag at the gate they give you priority to board

Horrible food and crew. Crew were laughing and talking loud while people were trying to sleep

Yall need to integrate your system with Alaska more efficiently. They booted me off the first flight because of a discrepancy on your end.

The crew at Hawaiian Airlines was fantastic. Kind and hard working. The pilots were great with giving us all the updates to make sure we were informed.

Very good. Nice plane and we sat in economy plus - bigger seats, more room. They served a meal and snacks, and the meal was an apple stuffed pancake that was very good! The snack for us was a hummus sandwich - also very good. The flight attendants were helpful and nice. They have plenty of movies and shows to watch. My only negative -- they changed our flights around and did not adjust the layovers, so we ended up with a very long and unnecessary layover in Honolulu.

I liked the Starlink WiFi but didn't like how they said they were the only airline to offer a free meal and it turns out to be just a standalone sandwich and then charge for snacks to go with it. Rather have the free snacks like Southwest, but have the option to purchase a decent meal for a 5+ hour flight.

Flight scheduled to take off at 5.55pm but it did not take off until 7pm due to some food delivery delay.

Unfortunately, I was put into the middle seat in the first row of premium seating. Sounds nice right? No! that is the worst seat in the plane. I wish I was in economy rather than be in that seat! There is no seat back pocket, no tray table, no charger. Nothing! so unless you're row mates are willing to let you share their basic amenities any flyer should have, you are stuck. It was the worst experience ever! And the flight attendant forgot to take my drink order. I felt like the forgotten flyer.

Delayed and cancelled flights were hard and very stressful, both ways!

See prior comment about how Kayak mishandled my reservation and delayed my arrival by 6 hours.

Generally good. Flight left on time and the seats are comfortable. Plenty of space in front if you in you choose a comfort plus seat, completely worth spending the extra money given the amount of hours the flight lasts. The food tastes good but I would say it’s a the amount is too little. The crew was friendly and efficient. There was a some turbulence at different points into the flight. American Airlines has good deals to NZ if you book with plenty of time before you plan on going.

I am very appreciative of the help provided to me by Dennis and Whitney. I had lost my phone at EWR airport and they were very kind in assisting me. This included advice on how to file a report and also helping me connect with family. The pilot was also great about keeping passengers updated on the flight progress with regular communications over the system.

The screens were inoperable for movies and such, but everything else was just fine

Crew was helpful and cheerful especially when they had no refreshments to work with. The plane was never serviced and had nothing but limited water and coffee onboard. For the price point, a concern of services.

AA did not allow to board a flight because my connecting flight from DFW had been canceled. I got on another flight to another city. No service on the plane and I did not use their entertainment system.

2 hour delay due to equipment failure. No updates via the app and airport screens (which continued to show a departure time in the past). AA eventually switched planes and the new plane was not catered or cleaned correctly.

I booked an aisle seat and was given a middle. At 6'4" 230lbs, it is not ideal to fly in the middle row for myself and passengers.

The aircraft had several problems - from excess fuel to non operational ac. Two hours of delay in Chicago could have been avoided with proper planning and aircraft maintenance.

They made me pay $40 to check a bag that was listed as free when I bought my ticket. Then before boarding they offered to check any bags free.
