I missed it because Alaskan cancelled the original flight to San Diego

I missed it because Alaskan cancelled the original flight to San Diego

After a swift boarding we had to wait in the plane for over 40 minutes to take off. The same happened when we landed. Alaska had much more work to do on their timetable

I paid an extra $100 for a seat upgrade including complimentary drinks, no drinks were served due to a few minutes of minor turbulence. They said they would return, they didn’t’. Sad…

The groups call was not clear or loud enough so a bit of confusion there. The plan sat on the axis way for over 35 minutes ( no fault of the pilot or the crew) but nevertheless a bit tiring. The crew were friendly and greeted us with smiles. Thank you for all that you do and put up with.

Staff was super friendly, everything was awesome! The flight was so smooth!

The flight was 1.5 hours late. The gate crew in Las Vegas were not friendly at all.

Stay away from there non refundable tickets, they don't have a medical exceptions.

You guys did great, the only thing keeping me from the higher rating is the physical dimensions of the seats, which staff has no control over. Keep up the good job.

We had an hour delay Probably couldn’t be haloed Very friendly staff

I had to gate check my luggage and it was a pleasant experience as I never done that procedure before. Everything went smoothly.

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 flight was comfortable and uneventful, which is what I desire

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.

Big plane, long flight, absolutely no leg room and basically non existent air! I am 5”4’ and always travel Main Cabin, I was miserable on this plane and could barely move when we arrived in Cabo due to the cramped leg area!

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

They we able to seat my companion and I next to each other. Plane’s temperature was very cool. Willl be more prepared on return trip.

Miserable. Birthday trip for daughter booked for Cabo. Her plane was canceled and the best they could do was get here to fly north to San Jose, CA, stay in a hotel, sit around half a day and finally fly to Cabo late the next day. 36 hours traveling and wasted time. Missed a night of a booked resort, missed here ATV excursion, etc. I know it's a "first world problem" but it still was incredibly inconvenient, and wasted a good deal of money. And almost all the "service" people, in person and on their support lines, were not helpful. They were as useless as an automated AI assistant.

Plenty of overhead compartment room. The seat choice option is horrendous as best.

Flight delays - issues with delays waiting for a gate in Denver

I booked through Hawaiian which was supposed to have merged with Alaskan but offered free checked bags and said there would be seat selection at the airport. This was not honored by Alaskan Airlines and they even went out of their way to say “we are not Hawaiian and Hawaiian cannot pick seats on our airline ”. They told us that we could not change seats and that all tickets booked through Hawaiian were “saver fares”. The staff was rude and said that we would be helped last after they take care of the customers that booked through Alaskan. Once we got on the flight in our middle seats they played a message that said they have merged with Hawaiian and you can book on either website which would have been funny if we were not so uncomfortable. All in all it was a terrible experience and I do not recommend that anyone fly Alaskan unless they absolutely have to.

A cold sandwich would be much better than the warm gummy croissant.

Seats were so uncomfortable. Used to southwest so this was really disappointing. No wifi made for a long5 hour flight

It’s really tough when you purchase tickets and you are unable to purchase your seats, and just get random seats when you are traveling with someone.

Having enough fuel to get to our destination seems like it should be a given when you board a plane. Not in this case, delayed hours to refuel.

Almost everything was perfecto expect for entertainment. There are not a many options.

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.

Old and out of date plane, it seem like every time I fly with united there’s and issue. We were delayed,

Checkin was painful and slow! Lady didn’t seem to know what was going on and couldn’t explain the delay. Seemed ahe couldnt see the computer scree and we couldn’t hear her talk through her mask.

We had a 90 minute delay due to equipment failure that was detected just before we took off. United rebooked my connecting flight.

Great flight. WiFi worked great and the crew was awesome.

Dinner was okay but the breakfast was not eatable on the flight San Francisco to Zurich.

Great crew, smooth flight. 30 minute delay on the tarmac with no status updates or information from captain. However, that was the only negative on the trip.

Luggage took too long go get off plane in Knoxville. Was almost 45 minutes after the flight landed.

Awful, tons of delays, I got into Chicago multiple hours late meaning I hit the very traffic I tried so desperately to avoid. Just empty apologies from American Airlines text alerts. Trash behavior from a trash airline.

The boarding was as always, the crew tried their best but not enough. The food was a disaster I had dietary restrictions that were half met because the company did not loaded the food for the flight. The entertainment screen was fine but content was not and also they removed the free messaging option from the flight and they charged 30 dollars for that crappy bandwidth. This flight is not worth the cost and the company is going down on quality.

As smooth as you can expect. Some issues with boarding because the previous plane took forever to deplane but overall, a good experience.

DFW-LHR Toilets not kept clean Too cramped. Aisles so narrow crew were constantly banging into people on the aisle seats. Even then, the carts used are reduced width. Other than that it was a decent flight on both legs

Excellent customer service at check in at Austin flight to DFW and excellent customer service from Karren in terminal B at DFW.

The flight itself was fine, but between the man in front of me putting his chair back, and the gentleman next to me who took up 50% of my seat, my back and neck are destroyed from the flight. I’m hoping for a better outcome flying back.

Flight boarded without pilots. Sat on plane for 3 hrs. after over an hour late boarding. Plane never took off. Had to deplane near midnight. Line for rebooking was 3 hours + long. I had to leave.

We were told there would be no food/beverage service due to turbulence. There was very little turbulence on the 2+ hour flight. I was in First Class and thought they could have done a quick service after take off as they had a quite bit of time before we would be reaching the predicted turbulent area. They could have at least passed out a quick bag of pretzels.

Very disappointed with the crew and the lack of attention given to the passengers. On a 5 hour flight they never offered a snack. One time offered a beverage and didn’t pick up the used cups until the flight was on final approach. The two flight attendants in our section mentioned that they were best friends and compared their pre flight shoes. When paying for first/business class there is a level of service that should be expected. These two spent the majority of the flight in their seats playing on their phones and laughing with each other. Very frustrating!!!
