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.
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.
Alaska was fine as usual. My frustration came with accessing boarding passes. On the first trip, I could only get one to print ans took a picture of the second one. On our return trip, the system was down? Friends who booked directly with Alaska had theirs process. I even tried the 800 number and had others try it too. It said something in Spanish and hung up. The agent at the airport succeeded.
