Pros: "The crew were very professional and friendly. The comfort of the seating was great as well."

Read more about Alaska Airlines

Pros: "The crew were very professional and friendly. The comfort of the seating was great as well."

Pros: "Seats were very comfortable and they provided free movies with a seat console for a 2-hour flight. Great!"

Cons: "Nothing"

Cons: "No seat-back entertainment on a long flight is not ok. If there was warning about that during the booking process, it was too subtle and I missed it. It was an unpleasant surprise. Also, the seats are just so stiff and uncomfortable. If this was a 3-hour flight, fine. But nearly 6 hours, no."

Cons: "Didn’t like sitting on tarmac for 40 minutes after arriving. Got very warm and uncomfortable to breathe"

Cons: "Missed 2nd leg of flight due to 1st leg not taking off at correct time due to improper scheduling on Alaska’s part at SeaTac airport. Forced to take next flight the following day without any accommodation for my wife and 3 year old son. Was told by Alaska service agent to just sleep at the USO."

Pros: "Free movies"

Cons: "First time on Alaska air, on my departure got delayed for 8hrs, then that one we end up deplaning. On my arrival, the plane got delayed again. It’s not a good experience all and all"

Cons: "I was not notified that my card was declined and this caused a ton of delays"

Pros: "Fast flight"

Cons: "Seats were a little uncomfortable. The boarding process took a while."

Pros: "The only enjoyable thing about my flight was the couple sitting next to me."

Cons: "We weren’t served drinks until nearly 2 hours in. They kept making announcements saying “it’s really turbulent and not safe” but I’ve flown a lot and we barely had any turbulence the entire flight and at no point was it unsafe. When it was calm they were hanging out and taking in the back."

Pros: "Crew was friendly and fun. Seats were roomy with plenty of leg room."

Cons: "No soap in bathroom stall. Told crew who tried to correct it but it was broken. Boo..."

Pros: "The crew was ok the seats were not comfortable at all"

Pros: "The crew was amazing, despite rainy weather. Service was very good."

Cons: "No worries with Hawaiian Airlines’ staff and service … the “free meal” (sandwich) was unexpected, tasty and something not found on other domestic carriers."

Pros: "The crew was great. I have sensitive ears, so sitting beside the loud engine is not something that I liked. I was uncomfortable, until I moved."

Cons: "having some ear plugs"

Pros: "The crew was friendly, the flight went smoothly overall."

Cons: "I tried to request a vegan meal ahead of time but Hawaiian Airlines only offers special meal requests for international flights, which was very disappointing."

Cons: "I could not get a connection to any of the entertainment. Our flight Attendant, Hunter was awesome!!!! What a sweetheart and he was extremely attentive."

Pros: "The gate attendant switched me to an earlier flight. Made my night much better."

Pros: "Short island hop but still great staff is just HAPPY"

Pros: "The flight attendant in my section was very nice. I appreciated the extra snacks she gave me!"

Cons: "The main meal, a sandwich, was only ok. The food could definitely be improved."

Pros: "Flight attendants were great!"

Cons: "Flight was a little cold - but in Hawaii, not always a bad thing!"

Cons: "The entire time there was a clogged bathroom smell coming in waves. The crew was forgetful of requests. Not a pleasant flight."

Pros: "The crews were very fast and efficient. The Dinner was good but the breakfast was very basic."

Cons: "The seat was so crammy and disgustingly uncomfortable"

Pros: "Check in person was very helpful in rerouting our flight."

Cons: "Our flight was delayed 3-1/2 hours. The gate crew booked us in another flight but did not issue a ticket, so after transferring to another terminal, we were sent back to the Delta terminal to be issued a ticket to a third airline since we already missed the second flight. Then, they lost our luggage"

Pros: "Seats are fine. Ordering system is up to date."

Cons: "After the first two hours of my flight (which I sleep through) I couldn’t buy a drink a soda or anything."

Cons: "The fact the the toilette was kitty cornered in the mid cabin bathroom is a joke on modern society."

Cons: "Crew could be on time for work so the flights aren’t delayed"

Pros: "It was Ok. Some short delay but over all not too bad. Just didn't like the fact I always get seats next to the toilet"

Pros: "That Tillamook cheese and fruit plate was nicely done. A pleasant surprise."

Cons: "We had to wait at the gate on arrival"

Pros: "Call back service was best part."

Cons: "Booked ticket through venture card points. This meant that the email address and phone number to contact us in the event of changes was mediocre information. I was informed from Tripit that the flight was delayed, not by Delta. Reservation personnel took logical course of action to find new flight for connection that we could make because of delayed initial flight. I would recommend that they first see if there is an earlier initial flight that the customer could make, then look at finding later connecting flights. We found out about delay 8 hours prior, so we had plenty of time to get to the airport earlier. Total delay required me to take additional day off of work."

Pros: "The crew are very friendly, positive and have good sense of humor."

Cons: "The flight got delayed badly"

Pros: "The seat? Very uncomfortable"

Cons: "The seat for the longest flight could be more comfortable"

Pros: "The Flight Attendant was excellent. Genuine smile, attentive, and pleasant."

Cons: "Half of the screens were down. No Gluten free options."

Pros: "On time. Warm greetings from the pilots. New aircraft, clean, great entertainment."

Pros: "Good entertainment"

Cons: "Flight was delayed 3+ hours due to no qualified pilots available to fly to HNL"

Pros: "The crew did an excellent, professional job."

Cons: "There were problems with arrival at the gate necessitating delay and 3 gate changes for connecting flight. This was not fault of American but due to a plane breaking down at the original gate at LAX causing our plane to be rerouted to a different gate."

Pros: "Crew on board was nice."

Cons: "Boarding was very unorganized. I thought families traveling with kids would get priority boarding before main cabin."

Cons: "The gate agents called all boarding groups with the boarding queue extending the entire length of the jet bridge and into the terminal beyond the gate area, making us stand in line ten to fifteen minutes longer for no reason."

Pros: "All the service was good"

Cons: "I am handicapped and there was no attendance at the gate once I arrive in Honolulu, no wheelchair assist to help me to the baggage terminal."

Cons: "The flight was delayed for hours, and I am still trying to get to lax. All due to the pilots being too tired to fly, and due to maintenance. I would of appreciated checking into a hotel room a lot earlier than I did due to vague communication. I’m exhausted with only 2.5 hours of sleep."

Cons: "Check in problems with precheck. There seems to be a consistent issue with seeing our precheck on our boarding pass. This has happened twice. Otherwise good overall. Time to fix the problem"

Pros: "I eventually got to San Francisco. I missed my flight to Lihue and had to stay in the airport all night."

Cons: "I eventually got to San Francisco. I missed my flight to Lihue and had to stay in the airport all night."

Pros: "Getting off the plane."

Cons: "First, it was a big ordeal to get seats together, traveling with 3 children. Seats did not recline. No movie screen, entertainment. Weren’t allowed a carryon, only under seat. Will not fly united again."

Cons: "The seat that don’t recline have a very poor posture to begin with. Flight was delayed and didn’t depart for a while."

Pros: "Food was delicious! Crew was very nice and friendly and plane was very clean."

Pros: "Crew was good, landing was great, entertainment was pretty good selection of movies, good seat space."

Cons: "We had to run from gate 60 To gate 89. Jetway was hot while waiting to board."

Cons: "Another airport would be better, no extra charges for bags would be even better!"

Cons: "THE TEMPERATURE WAS FREEZING. THE COLDEST FLIGHT IVE EVER BEEN ON AND IVE BEEN ON A LOT. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS 30-40 DEFGREES."

Pros: "The boarding was fast and the flight was Short. Can’t say much about the food since the flight took only about over an hour. The crews were nice and friendly."

Cons: "The flight was delayed."

Pros: "Seats and entertainment"

Cons: "One syaffmemberrude butall not very friendly orhelpful no food to purchase on board which meant we had absolutely nothing to eat until landing not good when ad ertise that you can purchase on board also paid 50 dollars for checked bags but ihadconfirmed with your airline theywereinyheprice along of gimethecrewwalkedpast with coffee withoutaski gif wanted one"
