Airline reviews

My daughter has anxiety and became nauseous after boarding the plane and before take off. She went to the plane bathroom and ended up having to vomit, and your staff promptly removed us from the flight. We explained that it was due to my daughter’s anxiety, and that the condition would not continue in the air, but they removed us anyway. We have flown many many times before on many different airlines and my daughter’s anxiety has resulted in nausea and sickness before takeoff, and every airline has been accommodating and professional. This is was our first time flying with your airline, and also the first time we have ever been removed from a flight. This was the worst service we have ever experienced. This was a special surprise trip we gifted to my daughter for graduating college. I had also paid to upgrade the family to first class and sit all together which we had never done before and can’t afford on a normal basis. Our removal from the flight was not only extremely embarrassing, but devastating for my daughter. My daughter and I were removed from the plane and a call was made by your staff to medical personnel, a few questions were asked of my daughter, and then she was magically cleared. All of this took mere minutes. Why this could not have been performed while we were on the plane, or why this could not have been performed off the plane and then us allowed to reboard is beyond me. My wife and youngest daughter continued on the original flight alone and were very upset and crying due to the situation, yet the staff did nothing to console or assist them. My wife states that upon arrival in Portland and as they were exiting the plane, one of the stewardesses involved said “byyyyeeeee” to them sarcastically and laughed. Myself and my oldest daughter had to wait 4 hours for an alternate flight and were sat in regular seats because our first class seat purchase could not be honored. My wife wasn’t allowed to pick up our rental car and had to wait 4 hours with our luggage until I arrived. The delay prevented us from being able to carry out planned events and ruined the first day of our trip. Upon explaining all of this to your customer service, we received no sympathy, assistance, or compensation other than your staff submitting a request for a reimbursement of my and my daughters first class upgrade cost. When checking in early for our flight back home, the luggage cost for myself and my eldest daughter was no longer discounted as it was for my wife and youngest daughter. Customer service once again could not assist me over the phone and rectify what should have been a minor adjustment. Instead they stated I would have to wait until we physically checked bags in at the airport and then ask staff to adjust the luggage cost. With everything else we had experienced, I was not going to leave that to chance and instead paid full price for the luggage ahead of time. Or experience with Alaska Airlines was a complete disaster and I am baffled at the lack of empathy and assistance from your staff. I’m not sure of what else to say other than the fact that unless we are compensated by Alaska Airlines in some form to offset the horrendous service we received, we will be relaying our experience to family and friends and on social media, and doing all we can to urge everyone to avoid utilizing your services.

I got an email 3 hours before the flight letting me know it got canceled

Flights were on time, which made making connections do much better. Well organized

My only complaint was how far it was from plane to baggage claim

Not bad. Due to not buying a seat, on the way back, my seat was not assigned till 2 hrs before the flight left. Got me worried I wouldn’t have a seat.

SBP to PDX 2/17/2026. One person ahead of us at the counter. One ahead of is at TSA. First to board. First row, first class. First to be served. Food and service very good. First off the aircraft. Flight was nice other than some moderately hard bumps on climb out (please find a way to control that!). Air Force landing (none of that Navy slam you to the deck stuff). Wheel chair at the bottom of the ramp waiting for my wife. Luggage out quickly, walked right up to the parking shuttle bus. First stop on the bus. I like the EMB 175 aircraft. This was as close to a perfect flight as I will ever see. Bravo!

Santa Rosa Airport is the best! Glad to have experienced it.

Delay for switching planes. Then delay after delay (mechanical) after boarding so that we were almost 3 hrs late, getting in at 230am. Crew was good.

The Alaska Airlines app made it very difficult to find my boarding pass. It was very frustrating to use! The flight itself was flawless.

You need categories to denote when food and entertainment are not available.

Generally on time departures and arrivals, clean planes, sky miles membership provides great benefits (complimentary upgrades, etc).

N Everything was perfect from boarding to assistance to baggage in Tampa

Loved the crew! Sucks that we went from 1 hour and 8 minute layover to a 3 hour layover. But weather sucks like that.

Fast, lovely scenery, great info on the Delta flight screen about landmarks we were flying over. Great landing!

Long flight but comfortable and not freezing as I have experienced on Hawaiian flights to the islands. They gave us blankets just in case. Nice touch.

I took seat 15A in anticipation of window seat, there is no window.

Flight late, the waited for a long time for “personal” to arrive at gate to dock the plane in Rochester. So annoying. This flight was expected, why aren’t personel available for the jet bridge?

My recent experience was excellent on Delta! I flew with Delta Comfort and I was really comfortable in my seat. I enjoyed the in-flight service. The flight attendants were so friendly and hospitable. I love the snack on the flight as well. This was my first time flying on Delta and I will definitely consider flying with them again.

Delta needs to step its game up get a more reliable internet service. Internet service was non-existent for this flight.

My flight was canceled on Sunday. Rebooking took three hours. Had to pay for accommodations another night. New flight was delayed for 5 hours, all that was sent was a 12 dollar food voucher, which doesn’t tell you how to use it. Then when we landed we had to sit on the plane for an hour before we could get off.

Fabulous if you have a portable wheelchair. They can store it in the galley and you can just walk out with it. Really nice and the flat seats are just incredible, very nice. iPads for movies, also pretty nice,

The crew were exceptionally nice and accommodating. My wife was tired after the flight from Haneda, Tokyo. They let her sleep and served her dinner later after she woke up, before we landed in PDX.

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

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.

I had to cancel the flight because with a 3 hour delay for 'unexpected maintenance' in getting to LAX, I couldn't connect to an overseas flight that I had booked on Scandinavian Air.

I received several emails about my 3:10 flight. When I showed up to the airport at 12:30 to check my bags I was told the flight was actually at 1 pm. They grudgingly rebooked me for a flight at 5:22 to Vegas to get a connecting to LAX. I did find the gate for my original 3:10 flight but they were booked. I proceeded to receive status updates and gate change information for the 3:10 flight, even though I was apparently never supposed to be on that flight

My flight was delayed three hours and then cancelled. The gate agent proceeded to rebook me in a middle seat without telling me and I was placed between two large individuals who did not fit in their own seats and instead took up most of mine. It was an awful experience.

The food options were limited and very specific. Some type of entertainment option for a 4.5 hour flight would have been nice.

The Kayak confirmation number did not work for checking in the day before. I checked in at 8.30 using my ticket number. When I arrived at the airport, I was informed that the flight was overbooked, and since I had checked in late, I did not have a seat. The Next flight was not until ten PM. I called my wife, who had been taking care of our kids all weekend, and she was upset, calling me a liar and telling me to stay in SD. It turned my weekend getaway into a nightmare! I blame the Kayak website and will not book flights using your app in the future.

Boarding was again a "free for all". We were boarding group 4, and almost the entire plane was able to board before us. It's a shame that someone who follows the rules, gets the short end of the stick. Not fair.

It was perfect! I've never flown with United before, but I definitely will in the future

They delayed the flight from 9:00 to 11:55 At 11:45 they canceled the flight. I paid a premium price for the tickets with poor service

Seats are uncomfortable. This has been a trend in the industry for decades. Trying to fit more seats on each plane to increase profits at the expense of the passenger.

Staff were good. My seat was in need of repair, but for a short flight was not problematic. Usual basic snack and drink setup that you'll find on any US carrier. Over, a decent, basic flight.

Flight delayed for more than 16 hrs and no effort was spent to provide an alternate

it was a very short flight so my expectations were low.

Very disappointing given gate agent behavior. Filed a formal complaint with United.

Terrible. No customer service, no food, no drinks on a 6 hour premier economy booking.

The flight crew where really good. Better then the crew from BNE to SFO

Remind customers of the need to have passport or new ID for boarding.

The flight never took off and we spent 7 hours at the airport

It was ok. It was expensive to check 2 bags ($75.00 per bag), and then it took a long time to wait for shuttle to take us from one terminal to the terminal where the plane was taking off at LAX. And all of this for a flight where we had to pay for any food or drink that was not water.

When I wanted to check in 3 hours prior to boarding time, the employees mentioned “a little over an hour delay” so I waited for an hour then I went to go look for food in the terminal and most people from that flight were in the same area looking for food. Finally I decided after food to check to see if it’s anytime closer and now it’s 2 mins until boarding closes?! What are you kidding me? I didn’t receive anything via sms about boarding now nor via email or on the intercom. I luckily made it through, barely, and then there’s no room for my carry on mind you I’m in the very first row so I had to place my purse in one further row back and my carry on sections down. Not sure who pays for better seats to get your stuff placed all over the plane but that was the worst experience I’ve ever had flying with anyone.

This airline sucks. They offer low rates then charge you for everything, the app does not work well, the seats are the most uncomfortable. Maintenance issues on the flight, and you still have to sit through their credit card commercials. People are nice enough but does not make up for overall poor experience.

The delay was ridiculous because nary a word escaped from the gate attendant regarding our flight status. It was a complete joke.

Cancelled flight after I arrived at airport after 75 min drive and parking. Next flight was 4 days in the future. Had to scramble and buy a much more expensive flight on another carrier.

I liked the turn-style feature at gate 209B at LAX. Very efficient process. The gate staff also made several, clearly directed announcements so I felt very informed.

The seats were awful, hard plastic covered in sheet vinyl. The airline tries to scam you into paying extra to get seat together when the flight wasn’t full. They were going to separate a family with young children but my wife who had a row to herself gave up her seat so the young mom could be with her young boys. I’m never giving this airline my money again.

It was a short flight so no food or entertainment….
