Liked direct flight options. Boarding is easy. Assigned seats, plenty of overhead bin space. Smooth flights, crew was helpful and friendly.
The staff's friendliness and helpfulness make a good impression.
I am truely disappointed in the delays. I have been flying Alaska Airlines for years and years and have always had the most amazing experiences. Not what has happened with being on time. Flying from SAN to PDX delayed. Then .PRX to SAN delayed,
Still seems like Alaska Airlines is not doing a very good job of anticipating the number of carry on’s going in the overhead bins. I was asked to check mine not to find out there was actually(surprisingly)enough room for my small luggage in the overhead bins. In the past, I’ve seen PLENTY of items in the overhead bins that should be underneath peoples seats.
It seems like most of the time theres no room for my allowed carry on bag. People are putting their things in the overhead compartment that belong under the seat in front of them. Getting tired of that!
Flight boarded super late. Missed our departure window. Stuck on the runway for over an hour.
Worst travel day of my life. First bumped from our 7am flight—that we booked to ensure enough time to get to Chicago and get ready to go to a concert. Ended up on a flight 5hours later only to arrive in Chicago and spend 2 hours sitting in the tarmac. Missed the concert ($650 in tickets) and was too late to cancel the hotel ($500). I did receive a $200 voucher for the next Alaska ticket—soooo generous 👎. Would LOVE if Alaska reimbursed the $1000+that I am out!
Clean plane, friendly crew, on time and relatively easy boarding. We did have to switch departure gates in Portland, but got enough notice that it wasn't a big hassle. Only wish Alaska offered more flights from Kansas City.
The friendliest flight attendants at flight 2276 from Portland to YVR August 3
It was fine… I guess. The flight was delayed and we sat on the tarmac for some time. I was late to my meeting. There was no food or snack served in first class, only drinks. It was pretty mediocre.
Staff is friendly and helpful but flight was delayed by one hour from Detroit, making for tight window in Toronto to clear Canada Customs and pass through security screening in order to get to connecting flight on time.
We got stuck on the tarmac taxiing after landing early so we didn’t get off the plane until an hour later than we thought we would
Bus to plane was delayed for no apparent reason and our luggage was still on the belt when they shut it off. Took about 20 minutes to turn it back on to get our luggage.
I haven’t flown economy in over 20 years but it was not bad. Room by my feet for my bag and seat was roomy enough. Surprised in a good way.
Second flight in a row where the entertainment system is broken. 5 hour long flight with no entertainment and flight attendants did not seem interested in resolving the matter. Very shocked to be treated this poorly considering I paid for a first class experience and have Diamond Medallion status.
The service from the flight attendants were of supreme quality. They greeted and treated everyone with a wide smile. This is totally absent nowadays. Kudos to them!!!!
My seat had no padding, it was literally plywood with a plastic cover. I could not change seats on my 10 hour flight. My excitement for this trip helped me deal with the pain.
The flight was great. The crew were a little terse about the size of my bag. It fit fine.
The flights were on time- Great service Would have liked more options for food choices.
The brakes on the A220 are sensitive and uncomfortably grabby
It was serviceable, nothing special but nothing awful on this leg.
the whole trip was smooth, and as comfortable as flying is these days. flight crew was friendly and very courteous and helpful.
Yet another flight in which beverage and snack service was skipped. Other that that, firmly mediocre. Landed early, to gate late due to congestion at the gates. Airline's fault or airports fault: unknown.
The flights were on time which was great give. It was holiday travel season and there’d been some weather issues. The only complaint and this is every time with United is the terrible seat design. The head rest is not built for comfort and having my neck bent forward for a cross country trip reminded me while I try not to take United flights as a rule.
This was a very average flight. The seat was out of alignment so more uncomfortable than usual. The cabin felt not well maintained. But I safely got where I needed to go.
We had a 90 minute delay due to equipment failure that was detected just before we took off. United rebooked my connecting flight.
Dinner was okay but the breakfast was not eatable on the flight San Francisco to Zurich.
This was a Lufthansa flight. Disappointing main meal. Very rough over Canada and arrival at FRA. IFE was almost unusable.
Poor seating comfort, seat cushion too thin, very uncomfortable. My luggage didi not make the flight due to equipment change. At least. United had it delivered the next day. I was without my toilet items for one day.
Flight cancelled because of the grounded 737s. United was good about it and got us onto a later Alaska Airlines flight to Oakland (not San Francisco as originally intended). Had to go through security again and my wife dropped her MacBook Pro, which broke, a $2,500 whoopsie. But we made it home.
It was ok. Jet was ok but it lacked many convinces we have experienced on other airlines such as in seat entertainment. Space seamed more compact than other airlines. They did not provide the gate to gate assistance we arranged for for our mom who needed a wheel chair.
Due to delays at SFO, my WestJet light missed its connecting WestJet flight. If they had held the plane in Calgary for 15 minutes, 2 families with children would not have been stranded in Calgary for more than 24 hours. I understand the need to be on-time, but when it is the same company, you would think they could make a phone call. Or maybe they could go to a higher altitude to make up for lost time? Instead of attempting to put us on another flight, they rescheduled us for the same connecting flight 24 hours later. We then had to scramble to find a hotel, which they state that they were not responsible for since the delay was not their fault and therefore became an additional out of pocket expense for us. The customer service is severely lacking here at this company. They also mentioned that if we purchased our tickets through a 3rd party site (Kayak) versus WestJet directly, that they couldn't help us. Seriously?? Additionally, we lost 2 days of travel and missed out on tours and taxis that were pre-booked. I will not be using WestJet again,
This airline would not refund my money and I had a physician note that I could not fly. They are crooks
Westjet was late and we missed our connecting flight with Cathay. Had to wait 8 hours. Westjet only allows 1 checked in baggage for international flights- it’s always been 2. Canada allows only 1 sandwhich bag size full off small liquids. Everything else will be tossed. Awful trip. Will never fly west jet or go to Toronto to connect flights!
No pre boarding kiosk to check in, baggage claim detected luggage didn’t leave the airport, poorly managed recovery of lost luggage, and blame lost tag from conveyor to TSA/security, very poor from TSA/security check to delivery, crucial if compensation will go thru and will likely wait for months unlike United,
Flight was good, crew was excellent. No complaints at all
Delayed 3 times in a row for 4 hours total. Incrementally pushing back the flight claiming gate delays but they eventually changed the actual plane, due to technical issues. This strategy to avoid compensation to passengers is unprofessional.
Plane seating was uncomfortable, very tight fitting for someone my height, did not recline and overall un enjoyable
We were very happy with Westjet and would choose them again. We wish they included seat & luggage in total price instead of extra. Just give us the total cost.
The overhead bin space is ridiculously small. When I saw how small the plane was, I asked multiple flight attendants and even someone on the runway before boarding if I should check my carryon. Instead they made me compress and stuff it into the overhead bin - so aggressively that I thought the bin door would break. Just ridiculous. When we landed, I had to pull so hard to get the bag out that I hit my head on the opposite overhead bin. No one offered to help and the entire crew acted annoyed that I was concerned that my bag wouldn’t fit. Terrible customer service - they should have seen my bag and instantly recommended that I check it in during boarding.
Great flight attendants, great luggage tracking, pretty good trans-pacific business class setup, food was modest. Only paid WiFi in business class unless you enter an Air Canada member number at the time of booking (e.g., no Star Alliance member number). Vegetarian food was tasty but had no protein. Overall, a good mainstream North American carrier flight experience. Acceptable if the price is right. Otherwise, I might choose an Asian carrier for elevated experience.
It was pretty straight forward, no glitches or hidden costs
The whole plane smelled and felt old. The seats were very uncomfortable. Multiple delays. Extra fees.
For goodness sake, board from the back of the plane to the front and assign overhead space. It would fix everything. Seriously.
Aircraft had technical issues. After 3 hours of trying to resolve, flight was cancelled. Was booked on a flight leaving 12 hours after intended departure. Now on 4 flights instead of 2 and a day late to my destination.
PDX staff was great and we arrived on time in YVR.
Horrible I had a health emergency and couldn’t go Air Canada refused to allow me to reschedule
Really poor travel experience. My first flight was cancelled, which cut my international trip short and threw off my schedule. I will not be flying Air Canada again if I can so help it. The crew and in-flight experience was pleasant and enjoyable but the consistent delays and cancellations are not worth it.
Economy middle seat was so narrow that I could not sit back comfortably with passengers on either side of me. Over the 9-hour flight, with my body slightly twisted most of that time, my previously-healthy left knee became very painful, even though I got up to walk multiple times. The knee is still painful 3 weeks later. Otherwise, it was a nice flight, but I was crippled over my entire vacation.
The staff were condescending and withheld at times. There were times when they appeared to be more concerned with socializing with each other than appearing professional. I know it must be a hard job, but being chatty and handsy with each other in the public view only to be condescending to customers isn’t a good look.
