I flew Air Tahiti Nui to Tahiti six years ago and now flew to Paris. Both experiences were excellent. The seats in premium economy were very comfortable and roomy with space between my seat and the seat next to me and recliner leg rests. The food was excellent and generous and the cabin was very comfortable. The flight attendants were friendly and helpful.

It was so hot. Check in and flight attendants not very friendly

Seats too close together. Seats should not recline without additional space between seats.. Meal service and seat reclining is a huge problem.

Gate change at boarding was announced last minute and was far away from the original gate, and no text or email was sent to alert you; they kept spraying air freshener ugh! You could barely hear the announcements;

Our flight was canceled a few hours prior to our scheduled departure. I was advised to book a new flight on another airline and we would be reimbursed for the original flight. Of course, that was denied and we're out $700. Many Alaska Airlines were canceled that day due to computer issues. This is completely unfair to us and we should be reimbursed for the extra money we had to spend.

I’m not an airline food fan but the service was excellent!

Really good experience. Was reasonably priced, Boarding was easy, on time, and service was great. No complaints at all :)

The service was really nice. The wine was great and the food was good. More water offered during the flight would have been nice.

Seats were roomy. Staff was great offering free drinks and refills constantly. Everything was very clean.

Reclining seats with leg rest! Amazing flight crew! Loved the food! Everything was perfect!

No real issues on this flight other than the overhead bins said reserved for premium customers for a large section that was over non-first class seating

The seats are so close to seats in front that you cannot lean forward and reach anything you may have placed or dropped on the floor.

It's no surprise that bigger overhead space would be nice, but they are super convenient and helpful with the baggage claim stuff.

I like the customer service. I was upgraded on flight, so enjoyed the better seat selection

Overall, excellent, including the warmth, friendliness and equanimity of all the employees,

First flight one hour late, return on time. On both flights everybody were just great Seats comfortable. No complaints, just , 2 good flights. Like flying Alaska Airlines.

Plane narrows toward back of flight. Seats small. No snack options. I cookie pack going. 1 pretzel pack on return. No in flight entertainment for long flight.

First time flying on Alaska Airlines. Very good experience. Boarded, landed on time, baggage claim was quick just as they guarantee. When returning home, the nicest person at the check in counter helped with our checked luggage tickets and our wine cases, which were free to check (one per passenger) when you joined their rewards program. Will definitely use this airline again!

We were really impressed with the customer service throughout Alaska Airlines. Every crew member we engaged with were very welcoming and eager to help. I find airline travel to be extremely stressful, but my experience with Alaska Airlines was the complete opposite. We will definitely be booking future flights with Alaska Airlines.

I paid a substantial additional fee to upgrade to Premium Class because I wanted a more comfortable, peaceful flight. Instead, Alaska seated a couple traveling with a 14-month-old lap child directly beside me. The child was loud throughout the flight—screaming, throwing objects, and tossing food around the row. What I paid extra to make relaxing and enjoyable became stressful, cramped, and absolutely miserable. There was nothing “premium” about the experience beyond a few additional inches of legroom. I understand that families and young children need to travel. However, Alaska sells Premium Class as an upgraded experience and charges passengers accordingly. If the airline is going to collect a significant premium for added comfort, it should give customers some meaningful way to protect that investment—whether through better seating options, advance notice, the ability to relocate when seats are available, or a refund when the experience is completely undermined. I would not pay for this upgrade again. It was a waste of money, and I intend to contact Alaska directly to request a refund of the Premium Class upgrade fee.
