late flight, no wifi, no entertainment, no snack. What are you coming to????

I lost a bag in the process of getting home and I’m a little stressed about it

The delays were the real problem. The crew and staff were amazing and kept us informed and taken care of but what should have been a 6 hour flight with 1.5 hour wait ended up being a 13 hour day in the airport and in the plane waiting to board then waiting for takeoff. Great flight once we got in the air. Pilots and flight crew were awesome 😎.

It was a 3 plus hour flight. By hour 2 my butt was really sore! Loved having wi-fi for the whole trip!

Flight boarded super late. Missed our departure window. Stuck on the runway for over an hour.

Alaska airlines has gone from excellent to budget. Food only for purchase. Entertainment only on your devise, no headphones

The flight was good, there were no problems at all. The only thing that was very disappointing was how filthy the bathroom was, it was discussing.

The leg room is way too small for my 6’ husband.

Alaska Airlines is horrible. They notified 30 minutes before boarding that they needed to reroute my flight, causing a 22 hour layover and 42 hour travel experience they could have been avoided if they adequately informed me when I did online checking, 24 hours in advance, that I would need to reroute. This would have avoided a horrible experience if they truly demonstrated customer care

besides flight cancellation due to over boarding - diverted flight and lost baggage - no customer support whatsoever and 2 months of traveling lost

The flight was delayed by a hour and I wish they had communicated it sooner. No issues on the plane, it did take a while for food to come.

The flight to Houston the agents were not very helpful

Smooth and easy boarding, comfortable for the entire 5 hour flight, and the seat back entertainment was great! I appreciated all the features, from location info and maps, movies, the ability to connect with Bluetooth headphones, and good selection of movies. Food was good, normal airline snacks (I didn’t purchase anything)

It was good, although we could not get our preferred seats, we did enjoy the whole experience from Costa Rica. I still don't understand why our luggage is not the first to come out at the band.

Movie selection is good. Crew did not understand mileage program and were no help. Sick later. Food?

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

leg space better than expected. two washrooms for one plane isn't enough.

I love United was disappointed we had a two hour delay, however the Pilot did say safety first.

Since when do I have to pay for my checked bag? I have a United Explorer mileage plus silver card and I was charged for my checked bags. This also is an international flight. So I would like an explanation to be clear before I choose an airline please?

Boarding was terrible. My wife uses a wheel chair and she was in an incredibly hot closed metal cargo box for close to 20 minutes before getting on board

Although there were two delays, they were communicated clearly and the boarding process was expedited. The crew was pleasant and efficient.

Plane was super cold. No entertainment unless you were with mileage program Getting off the plane was super slow

Beverage service was not good. Also just one service in 5 hr 30 min flight. No ask fir water ir anything beside one time beverage service.

Flight was delayed because of a bird strike. They had another plane available within 45 minutes.

When I'm on a 5hr 22 minute flight I expect food to be purchased. Especially when American makes a very tight connection time where u have to run to make the long flight. Chips and nuts are unacceptable and being told you should be in first class to get a meal is also unacceptable. I didn't change the flight times American Airlines did.

Flight attendants on American Airlines are rude very harsh with their time of voice. Nearly identical experience as spirit airlines. However, from Spirit Airlines, you expect this level of mediocre service. You do not expect this from the big three..

The plane had maintenance issues and didn't leave after 72 hours

The staff were very nice! However when our first flight got delayed an hour, the second connection flight was not delayed and the layover was only 40 minutes. When we rushed and made it to our gate for the connection flight, the gate said it had moved to another section of the airport. We barley made it to the connection flight, and overall we were very stressed. We asked about taking a later time for the second connection flight, but the other option was much later and we would have to wait at the airport for 9+ hours. I just wish American Airlines could have moved the second connection flight to a later time too for its customers, and thank you for taking the time to read my review.

Flight was canceled and then rescheduled on another flight. Paid for first class but moved to the back of the plane. Then put up in the worst/dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. American Airlines should be ashamed of putting their passengers/customers in a place that filthy.

The flight was on time, boarding process good. Good value flight.
