Great crew, smooth flight and landing. Wish they would offer Dr. Pepper and a choice of flavors of pretzels.

Thank you still providing bags for vomit. My son had a migraine and needed a bag to vomit in and it was right there behind the seat in front of us. Thank you!

Well, the baggage porter on Maui told my mom that our carry on luggage was overweight and if she gave him a 50 dollar tip he would let it go through. She tipped him and he tells us that he needs my Alaska airlines cc to waive the extra baggage charge. Find out later that since my original reservation was not under my name using a Hawaiian airlines CC, I would have to pay for the luggage anyway. I told them I had to end up paying for my daughters ticket when you all said because she turned two using my Alaska Airlines cc, now they need to charge me for her seat/flight, but you guys didn't care and i ended up paying for the bags and my mom paid the porter 50 dollars extra for nothing .. It was a crappy experience. First it was a multi trip. PDX-HNL then HNL-OGG then OGG to PDX. All bought under one ticket. My daugher turned two during the flight from HNL-OGG, but when I bought the ticket and at the PDX airport they said since i bought the ticket before she was two, everything is fine. come to find out no, I had to pay her ticket HNL-OGG and again OGG to PDX. you guys scammed me. You should say it on your website and make sure people know that during flights if the child turns two they have to pay for their seat. If i knew that from the very beginning i would have bought her ticket and it would have been LESS than paying TWICE for her flight! and you scammed my mother with you porter who told her to pay him 50 dollars and he would take care of the extra luggage weight.

Flight was great. Boarding was crazy because another flight was boarding late next to ours so everyone was standing and in the way.

It was a quick flight, but coffee would have been great!

I can honestly say in the 54 years of my life this was the worst flying experience I have ever had. I was delayed on the tarmac going into Dallas for an hour and 2 hours on the tarmac leaving Dallas. a 4 hour flight turned into a 6 hour flight due to Alaska incompetence. To be honest I will never take another Alaska flight.

I am mobility challenged and ground crew were accommodating to my needs. One must walk up a ramp to board Alaska planes. Terminal to tarmac to ramp to plane.

The attendances were very thorough and pleasant during the entire trip. The pilots did an excellent job keeping us posted on what to expect. The landing in Portland was executed professionally and perfectly. Boarding was delayed a half hour. But given the times were in, that was no surprise. All in all, my preference is to fly only Alaska Airlines for their reliability and professional service.

All good! No entertainment on this new plane yet but ok for this short flight. Great on time flight! Thanks

These questions are hard to answer. It was not until I checked in that I learned my flight was going to Seattle for a connection and not Portland. I did not get notified, or asked, about this change by Alaska or Kayak. Thankfully I made this flight; but missed the connecting flight and it took me much longer to get home. A service representative for Alaska says this happens frequently with third party companies, like Kayak. Please please figure that out.

The flight was scheduled for 2:30 PM. Early in the morning we got a text message saying the flight was delayed and rescheduled for 3:00 PM. We got to the airport with that in mind. Then we got a message during check-in at the flight was rescheduled again for 2:30 PM. We almost missed our flight. In fact, our bags Were told that they would not make it. At the end, everything worked out. But it is very stressful.

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.

Excellent check-in. Crew was good. Excellent communication from flight deck.

Great overall. There was a bit of turbulence so they could only serve water because too much turbulence for the carts. Was glad they prioritized safety though

Excellent flight, the planes were newer, they did a nice job with boarding, great service overall.

Great service. Flight was delayed while we sat on the runway for a couple of hours. Weather related. Staff made is very bearable. The steward servicing the first class cabin was exceptional. Thank you! 💗

5 hours of delay that could've been much shorter if Delta had taken the 1 hour delay they imposed on the flight before boarding to run any of the plane checks required for flight to find the hydraulic issue that required nearly 3 hours to fix. $24 of meal credit buys a sandwich and a soft drink. Poor communication within the terminal about what gate we'd be re-boarding from and when we'd be re-boarding.

Amazing flight! I have never noticed the uniforms of the attendants before in twenty years of flying except today when one female had the most amazing dress on. It was beautifully designed and showed she was in charge. I never dreamed I would google who designed Delta uniforms . The ultimate compliment is when another woman admires your outfit. . I hope your designer puts it on the market

It would be nice if was given wires ear buds. Overall was a good experience was able to sleep on the plane

My flight was 6 pm 6/6. Every hour they delayed it again - air condition issues then no pilot then the crew had worked too many hours and cancelled the flight at 11 pm. Sent customers to NJ a 45 minutes uber ride to a hotel. Had to be back by 5 am for a 7 am flight and again no pilot etc with another three hours of delays.

Gate agent did not hold flight for connection, provided no assistance to get new flight

Evidently, my seat had the only broken TV. I couldn’t plug it in, get it to come on, or watch anything, and of course, no one could fix it while we were on the plane. The service was good and the boarding was quick

United airlines, mediocre at best. No issues , nothing great . Worked for me

Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.

it was so bad. I tried to board my flight from vancouver to saskatoon. And to my surprise they did not board me cause the flight was changed and no email was send to me. and on my boarding pass which i got from seattle says different flight. I did not knew anyone from Vancouver, air canada crew was rude, i asked for today flight but they were rude and i had early morning dental appointment in saskatoon. I was so much in pain and my whole day is wasted today. and i suffered alot. They did provide me hotel but they did not provide me any food. I am really really disappointed first time had so bad experience with air canada. I may think twice to book it again. If i can get any reply or any composition that would be great. Thanks

It was fine, definitely older planes with no charging or anything. There’s no entertainment set up on board, but it is nice that they allow you to access the in flight entertainment from your phone without having to pay for the Wi-Fi and they do offer free texting.

Boarding was mayhem. Late boarding by 15 minutes because of lack of staff (missing 1 flight attendant. We had to wait for an arrival of another plane before we could board). Flight was a little rough, but cannot blame on airlines.

Impressed with the service despite turbulence because of the weather. Both flights arrived before their scheduled times.

Very comfortable (upgraded to business class). The audio on my screen didn’t work, but I managed to play the audio through my phone while watching the screen.

Great experience…left a bit behind schedule but made up fir that in the air and landed 10 minutes early 😁

Loved the staff, boarding and drink options! Wish the comfort of the seat could have been better nevertheless

The flight crew were friendly and attentive. Food was good and they passed out ice cream and drinks awhile after Lunch was done. The ice cream was a nice treat! I found several movies to watch during the flight. There was many movies and tv shows to choose from. We flew Premium economy and there was enough leg room to be comfortable. The seats were also comfortable. I would fly AA again if the airfare isn’t expensive.

The chair cushions may need an upgrade. I have been noticing they are so worn out, thin so you’d sit in a dip 😄. Other than that, all was an enjoyable trip. Thanks AA!

I’m impressed that we were on time in Sacramento after having a late departure in Newark and our made it. The staff was friendly and warm.

Cramped seats. FAA should make airlines have more legroom, for even short people complain

5.5 hour delay with no explanation on why, along with no proactive effort to reaccomodate me.

It was one of my worst flight ever. First they were changing the gate for at least 4 times, changing from gate D7 to D12 to D44. Considering the size of the Miami Airport, we are talking about long distance and the train at the airport was not working. Then the flight was delayed around one hour. Then finally we boarded into the plane and when everybody was seated, there was an announcement that there is an issue with one of the tire of the plane, so we all had to get out of the plane with our belongings, to replace the tire. So we had around 2.5-hour delay

Most miserable flight ever. We waited almost 2 hours on the runway because the flight was oversold. American offered $1200 credit. Then there was some nonsense about weight distribution. Ridiculous. No food for 8 plus hours on the flight. I will be writing a letter.

Honestly, I haven’t flown American in years, probably due to the pandemic and my being unable to travel for certain periods in the last two years, but it was a good experience to dig out or obtain a new American Airlines account after many years of traveling for business with American in the past.

The plane was probably full boarding was easy. We were able to check our carry-on luggage for free. It was a return flight through Philly to LA. Never saw a stewardess do a demonstration of emergency Procedures. I think my flight was pretty full
