Poor transfer conditions at LAX almost missed flight. Long walk and delayed shuttle ..avoid at all costs

The plane was freezing. A few other customers mentioned how they can’t get their temperature right on their flights lately.

The app booked me on a flight for July 1st as opposed to August 1st like it was supposed to be. No problem with Alaska Airlines, except they took a while to refund my money. But it was as taken instantly. So, yeah.

Not able to get boarding pass for domestic connection flight when check in at international airport. I was told I need to get connection flight boarding pass after I entered US. It us very inconvenient.

Flight delayed no communication. The gate was changed so many times.

Four hour delay. Missed our event. And they offered me $75. Absolutely shameful.

I can't say yet as I'm still waiting for my luggage. I thought I had given my TSA # before my first flight but it wasn't on my boarding pass so my initial flying to my destination I wasn't able to utilize the device. I called Alaska Airlines and had it added to my profile. It still wasn't on my boarding pass so I had to go to an agent and have it added which took extra time as there was a line of people waiting to be helped.

The lady who was checking people in and scanning tickets was very sweet. I believe her name is Ilhad…real sweety. The flight sat on the tarmac for a good 20-25 minutes with no explanation still we weren’t that late but they should communicate to people why were not moving.

This was a quick flight so more like a shuttle and everything went well. There was no food or beverage.

Planes are too cramped. How far are the airlines going to go before Congress steps in.
