I have taken 4 Alaska flights in the past 3 weeks and every single flight was delayed. They give you a $12 voucher for airport food, sometimes too late, after you’ve already eaten. That might get you a bagel. Reservations, rentals, etc have to be cancelled with no repercussions. Will be avoiding Alaska if possible.

I have taken 4 Alaska flights in the past 3 weeks and every single flight was delayed. They give you a $12 voucher for airport food, sometimes too late, after you’ve already eaten. That might get you a bagel. Reservations, rentals, etc have to be cancelled with no repercussions. Will be avoiding Alaska if possible.

Window seat and a packed plane. A very uncomfortable flight.

My flights went about as good as they could be. I’ll always take Alaska when possible.

Excellent flight, hour and half flight so no food was served other than pretzels, which was fine. Excellent , very professional.

I made a mistake with my reservation and customer service refused to help me. They basically said that it was my fault and that I need to pay for another flight if I want to make changes. The flight was delayed. I should have checked before I rushed to the airport, but it would have been nice to get an email. At the airport, the waiting area was too small, so there wasn’t enough space to sit. During the flight, there wasn’t enough air and there was a terrible odor on the plane.

I wish it hadn't been delayed. I'm thankful my husband got home safely but I understand turbulence was NOT GOOD.

The flight duration is 1.5 hours. Besides the point of 2h late…

SFO gate staff super fun playing music and singing having customers waiting to be boarded to participate. Flight staff was nice enough. At least not rude like others I have experienced.

I was delayed for three hours. I didn’t really like anything.

Quick boarding No carry on fee Free beverage Reasonable price

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!!!!

The seats are too hard for long flights but otherwise- the process was smooth, the staff attentive, and there was to keep you occupied during the journey if needed.

Plane was late because of a mechanical malfunction and the food listed as available was not. Flight attendants seem over worked and under paid. They just done seem happy. And that can be seen in their faces.

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.

Flight was on time and in fact arrived early. Seating was as comfortable as you can get in coach. Adequate leg room. Good entertainment system and offerings. Food was good. Flight staff was very good and accommodating.

Great, on time departure, friendly and accommodating crew, great leg room, Smith flight

Plane was turned around due to fog half way into the flight, Delta did not properly direct passengers to stay on same flight and instead failed to properly rebook on Alaska

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).

You need to be a hacker to get the (Free) WiFi

I guess they don’t serve drinks on planes anymore

I finished with my medical appointment early on Oahu and the Hawaiian airlines staff helped me get an earlier flight back to the big island. It was a great experience. There was no food or entertainment that is why I gave it a good

Unable to check in on line both directions. After standing in line to check in at the Honolulu airport we were told that we needed an ag inspection first so ended up having to stand in line twice. Fortunately we always arrive early. Process could be more clearly marked

Our first experienced in Hawaiian Airlines was just okay. I traveled with my 2 year old and 5 year old and both kids are first time in Kona. We had delayed in San Francisco for 3 hours which is okay safety first. Originally our flight from sfo to maui to Kona since we had delayed the airlines re-route us from sfo to maui to Honolulu to Kona. I don’t know what to do I felt bad with my two kids they have been in 4 Airports and 4 airplanes going to Kona. I cried after we checked in at the courtyard Kona. It was a lot for my 2 year old and 5 year. Like I said I know it is safety first but the Airlines could have done better for people that traveling with kids. If you are in my shoes all what will you do? Anyhow, I tried to make my two kids as happy as possible while we are in Kona. I am not certain to fly Hawaiian Airlines again. I hope my experienced helps to improve whatever it needs to improve With all due respect, Christina Lorenzo

Nice. The chairs were a little uncomfortable. And the sound from the earbuds I purchased on the airplane didn’t work very well. Other than that it was a great flight… oh and the snack could have been better… a bag of peanuts would have been better.

The flight was too short for food or entertainment which was no problem. You should have a Not Applicable item on this list.

Quick. Which is good. What could be better is size of 💺 seat.

They had me wait after everyone has boarded to assign a seat for me. WHY?! After about 10 min, they assigned me the last seat in the flight, all the way at end , 46 E or something like that. The food came ONCE, and after, we got some snacks during 12 hours flight. My tv had very poor volume and I was not able to see a movie properly. The staff was super grumpy and stiff and absolutely not welcoming, acting like they are doing US a favor to be there during the flight. Extremely disappointed. I have a flight on 02/22. I’m not looking forward 😩

They did not let me check in . Said I was 4 mins late.

I traveled first class for the first time. The flight from Portland to Honolulu was wonderful. First class was roomy. The seats folded down into a bed. The meal and service were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hop from Honolulu to Lihue hadn't much difference between 1st class and coach. But the flight was brief. My departing flight from Lihue to Honolulu was cancelled at the last minute. In order to get home the same day, though about 3 hours later. I was rerouted to Maui and then to Portland. Those flights had no first class seats available, but my only alternative was to stay in Lihue for another day. I was told I would be refunded for that portion of the trip. I was disappointed, but I noticed the 1st class accommodations on the flight from Maui to Portland were not even close to the special experience I had coming from Portland to Lihue. I am curious now about how to select flights that have top notch 1st class accommodations. Can you help?

Everything was top notch except for needing to purchase headphones for entertainment.

Airline did not explain reasons why flight was delayed two hours. Explanations were badly needed and rarely provided. Problem seemed to clearly be the airline’s fault and not the fault of the weather or airport.

The seats were uncomfortable. The flight was almost 9 hours and they didn’t serve lunch

Very uncomfortable seats and seat backs, and I am only 5’9”. Delayed due to crew issues, spent a long time with no ventilation. Teeny overhead bins. Wifi worked well. Arrived safely.

I was delighted that we were able to get on the 4:40 pm flight rather than our original booking at 6:55 pm!! Other than that, the flight was comfortable and landed early😊

Our flight was delayed many times throughout the day. The final delay was about 8 hours. I spent time in line to speak to someone at their understaffed desk, and also spent time waiting online and then chatting with a service rep. None of the United employees were any help at all. I desperately wanted to go get rest and possibly re-book my trip but I was denied any compensation or voucher for a hotel. I was repeatedly told it was not United's fault and therefore they had no compensation to offer. Overall, a cold and callous experience.

Paid WiFi was only available for a few minutes. Avoid at all costs.

Everything was great, only problem was that flights were delayed

Flight crew and pilots did great. Flight way delayed due to a part needing replacement. Based on what the pilot indicated- the maintenance crew could’ve resolved this more efficiently than replacing whole part- and taken less time

Everything was good, hard to really comfortable on a flight that long.

Pretty turbulent, but not anyone’s fault. They got us there. Impressed that they carried on with a drink service.

The staff was unprofessional and didn’t communicate very well. The boarding process was very disheveled, potentially due to a power outage the previous day but there was no contingency plan to properly get passengers boarded the following day. Once boarded the aircraft stayed on the tarmac for over 45 minutes due to high winds. The communication was sporadic but an announcement was finally made an additional 30 minutes later that the flight was cancelled but we couldn’t get off the plane. Prior to deplaning one of the gate agents came on the plane and made an announcement for everyone to pickup their checked bags and take a card to rebook a new reservation because they didn’t have adequate staff. Flights were missed, passengers went to different airports and there was little to no assistance from AA.

Apart from the delay due to unforeseen circumstances. The leg from sjc to dfw was fine. It was the leg from dfw to orf that we encountered issues mainly due to the flight attendant crew not being friendly. We had two small children and we needed some assistance to warm up milk so the baby would sleep. The crew just didn’t get it and made things very difficult. One made a remark that the baby’s dirty diaper smell was a “gift” to the plane in a rude way. Normally I’d brush that off as a funny comment if the rest of the trip the attendants were helpful or understanding of the difficulty we faced. But that wasn’t the case. We were met with rudeness on the second leg. Whereas on the first leg the crew were so nice and helpful.

Flight From PHX to CVG was on time, very professional staff

Being back games on the in-flight entertainment. Also your flight attendants need a break, raise, or overall attitude adjustment.

Flight was delayed and missed connecting flight. Did not give warning about delay until we showed up at the airport. Not good.

The usual wait at Columbus once you land to get to an open gate (20 minutes) and then the usual 30 minutes for your luggage to appear.

Nothing, flight was supposed to leave at 758 am. My flight didn’t leave until 430 pm. Spent the whole day at the airport.

Everything was very good EXCEPT the food, on a five and a half hour trip. They only gave to us was snacks in first class. They didn't give us pillows or blankets.

It was wonderful upgrading to first. Plane was so cold thou. Crew was great. Wish there was a food option in first for such a long flight. Doesnt matter the time of day. Chintzy.

Do a bit better with n first class offer some real food and pillows
