The flight was very late departing the gate, for unknown reasons.
Now that Spirit is not around Alaska took over the title of cheap and worse airlines with high prices for garbage cheap planes. Seats recline the entire 2”. What’s the purpose? Just make the stationary. Crew is on steroids. Food is like McDonald’s happy meal. Only happy in the name rest is garbage
Loved being about to check my carry on for free then getting to board earlier ( Group c rather than F) Crew was very nice and accommodating. Enjoyed the beverage and pretzels - I'll fly Alaska again if given the opportunity
Only issue is that when you board last they make you check your carry on due to lack of space. Did not care for that.
delay was longer than the entire flight. I didn’t stop flying with delta for this.
The flight 2161 was cancelled after repeated delays; for some reason the crew and not the tower located in Billings, Montana made the call. A cancelled flight is not a big deal, it happens. It was very disappointing that upon cancelling the flight it was a free for all to get to the counter for rebooking. Priority seating and first class ticket holders should have been giving priority to get on the next available flight. Most would agree that the process of moving states away, w/a cat, is stressful. A cancelled flight, 90 minutes to rebook, no place to stay, medication that was to be refrigerated and trying to find a local pet friendly hotel significantly added to the stress. Had I been able to rebook (per priority boarding SOP) I could have called the place I had just checked out of as my room most likely was just as I'd left it, including with pet supplies (which also had to be repurchased). While waiting to rebook, many of us called Alaska Airlines 800 number hoping to get a new flight; the waiting time -- this is not a joke -- was eight (8) hours, which dropped to "just" two (2) hours about 45-minutes later. Due to the cancellation I had to spend $268.75 and I still have not been refunded for the change in ticket (first class to regular). Each time I've call, five times now, the wait time was absurd, or a message of call back is given. Hopefully visiting the airport and talking with an agent face to face will be the final chapter to this experience. Alaska has been my go to air travel for years, hopefully this trip was just a hiccup. A system that forces customer's to spend hours of their time (money) to get a just due refund is not a working system. I suggest Alaska Airlines hire more representatives to handle calls; time is more valuable than money, spending 90 minutes to rebook a flight, without the difference being automatic is absurd. There are things called computers, they do amazing things. Once the flight was cancelled, only three agents were working to rebook the PAX, This too was unacceptable. First class ticket holders pay for first-class service, this should include rebooking on flights that are cancelled. I recall a time when flights were cancelled the airline would offer a hotel should the next flight not be until the following day? I had no idea that was no longer SOP; many could return home, several of us could not. The agents were pleasant once the PAX had their turn to rebook, this was true down in baggage area as well. The flight out the next day was also what I'd come to find of Alaska Airlines.
Wheelchair assistance was provided in Seattle and was very gratefully accepted. Thank you to the Alaska staff.
Food and entertainment aren’t a thing on these regional flights. But it was a smooth flight. Could see gorgeous countryside through the large windows. The earplugs are a nice touch for the prop engines but the hum of the engines did not bother me. Grateful the option exists to easily get from A to B.
The cold air vent in our seat isle had a leak in the overhead panel (10 C&D). On the ground and part of the flight After take off and before landing in Billings. We had very cold air blow on us.
I think everything was just fine I wouldn't change nothing
Very good flight. Crew was great. No issues and we even arrived early.
Loved the crew! Sucks that we went from 1 hour and 8 minute layover to a 3 hour layover. But weather sucks like that.
Delayed flight (1hour) plus a long layover after an overnight flight with no backup plane available.
Crew was excellent. Comfort seats not as nice as other kinds of planes.
Most aspects were good however if they assign boarding zones they ought to enforce them or why bother? My luggage from SAN-JFK-MAD was lost in NY so I without my main bag for two days upon arrival in Spain. They were helpful in tracking it and eventually delivered it to my hotel. The flub was because of a delay upon arrival in NYC. I had booked 2 1/2 hours between flights but we had to hold on the taxiway for an hour after landing while waiting for a clear gate which likely caused the baggage error.
Delta flight was great from the check in all the way to arrival. However, I had a very bad experience. I requested a wheelchair and the wheelchair employee that went to pick me up from the plane in Boston to bring me to the baggage claims told me I have to pay him. I was under the impression that it was a free service and I usually give tips but the person forced me to pay and since I said no because I was upset with his demand when my daughter walked in to pick me up he demanded payment from my daughter who paid him thinking maybe now it is a charged service.
There was a loud squeaky sound the whole time we were flying.
The landing was bad and the hostess came two times and i was sleeping but when she served the person that nexts to me I woke up and she didn’t even asked me if I need any drink or snacks two times!!!!
Waited 3 hours on a plane to de-ice due to manpower issues. Waited another hour and a half once we landed because of a gate issue. Missed my connections. Created. A total of 13 hours of delay.
Like most domestic flights in the US, you are basically on your own with this airline when it comes to food, so be sure to purchase meals and drinks ahead of time or expect to arrive starving and dehydrated (like I was).
Service was professional and quick. Premium economy seat was comfortable given the class
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly at all times! They went above and beyond to get us into an earlier flight in San Diego to make our connection in SFO possible, because our original flight did actually not make it! I did so much appreciate the UA team and how they made this possible. We also didn’t have seats together on the long flight to Singapore, but they found us seats together last moment with no additional cost! Nobody sat next to us, so that we were able to sleep! Thanks to UA for improving their service and Underpricer for booking this trip! Please be careful: 1,5 hrs for transfer in San Francisco might not be enough time in the future
Over 2.5 hour maintenance delay on first morning flight with no acknowledgement, compensation or even gesture of good will. Aircraft had overnighted at airport so issue should have been addressed prior to boarding. Over 3.5 hours before first slow and deliberate beverage service.
Complimentary light meal would be appreciated. But great flight crew service on all legs
The food was terrible this time. Otherwise pleasant, quiet, on-time.
I was in first class. The outlets at my seat did not work. The plane was shabby and run down. I had prepurchsed a day subscription for internet that was not redeemable. I had to repurchase the internet for my flight and then it didn’t work anyway. Quite disappointed in what was supposed to be the launch of a great vacation.
As usual, United scheduling is completely misleading. A 54-minute layover at O’Hare is too short to make a lot of connections, especially since the flight landed “on time” but had to wait on the taxiway 15 minutes for a gate to open up. Then it takes another 10 minutes to exit the plane before one can run to another concourse to catch a connecting flight.
Flight was ok. Unfortunately it was a Boeing 737, which is a cramped / tight airplane. I prefer the Airbus as they are a more comfortable flight experience.
We were traveling as a family of 5 and they refused to seat us together. There were entire rows open, and my 13 year old daughter had to sit alone. Ridiculous!
Do not like the feeling of being in the basic economy. Everyone should feel good no matter what.
