Find cheap flights from John Wayne (Santa Ana) to Santa Rosa

Pros: Nothing because there was no social distancing. I did not think that airlines were allowed to completely fill flights and I had no choice once I was boarded.
Cons: Please observe social distancing and DO NOT book completely full flights where seats can’t be left open. Irresponsible and stupid.

Pros: The staff at both airports were amazing. (SNA/SFO) From ease of arrival at check in by Alaska Airlines staff to the airport security at SFO providing assistance to help me guide my ride to pick me up the best description of where I was to ease pick up. That’s not to mention the Alaska staff that allowed me to move my flight up to accommodate my schedule or the excellent staff at the gate and on the plane. Very nice experience!

Pros: Very nice crew :)

Pros: Friendly helpful crew!
Cons: Honestly nothing. They gate checked my bag for free because it was an extra full flight, and that process made the flight really easy and comfortable. Thanks!

Pros: Amazing crew

Pros: Very punctual.

Cons: friendlier flight crew. we choose to fly alaska for the “friendlier staff” unfortunately they were not friendly or helpful. traveling with 2 small children alone is hard in itself.

Cons: I’m disabled and was assisted from the pavement to the plane seat. Excellent all the way around.

Cons: Flight delayed over 4hrs ruined my entire work day and travel plans

Pros: Great flight, great take off, great landing, great staff
Cons: Nothing. Very good

Cons: Crew kept activating speaker system by accident, pausing all entertainment for extended periods.

Pros: Great entertainment Fun atmosphere

Pros: Friendly, courteous, efficient flight attendant.
Cons: I would have liked a TV screen on the back of the seat. I didn’t see a place to plug in head phones. It was fine though, since I slept and read most of the trip.

Pros: no, I had to sit in a middle Seat but that's because everyone loves flying alaska

Pros: Good leg room.
Cons: The seats did not recline.

Pros: Very nice service!!! Good crew!!! Thank you very much!

Cons: Delays

Pros: I like the diverse, friendly staff.

Pros: Timing! Everything was perfectly on time!
Cons: Having my seat moved to a middle seat and getting sandwiched between 2 linebackers that elbowed me the whole time. Was super.

Pros: Kind crew
Cons: It was great and early!

Pros: Quick and on time boarding.
Cons: WiFi didn’t connect until landing.

Pros: As is usual for Alaska everything worked.
Cons: Surprisingly for Alaska, the crew did not seem fully engaged.

Pros: I liked how fast the flight was
Cons: Getting delayed due to whether (out of anyone’s control) but the flight attendants weren’t that professional, one flight attendant snapped at a guest. And the one on the speaker had a hard time forming sentences.

Pros: Easygoing, no issues, received with some frozen margaritas, can’t ask for more...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Pros: Left early, landed early, comfortable, not full

Pros: It was quick and easy.
Cons: N/A

Pros: Alaska staff customer service

Pros: Leg room was better than expected
Cons: Having to wait on tarmac when I arrived and then having to be bused to the airport. I arrived on time but spent 30 minutes to get to baggage.

Cons: When we got to the gate 3 hours early, we ordered a wheel chair for my wine to board the plane as soon as the first gate personnel arrived. At boarding time the clueless person who brought the wheel chair for us gave it to a 20 something man with a foot in a cast and crutches while my 71 year old wife had to wait until another wheelchair could be brought. The irony is that two wheelchairs were there until just. Edited boarding time and both were taken away.

Cons: The check in attendant wouldn't allow us to check our wine so we had to rent a car and drive down to Los Angeles

Pros: Todo menos el servicio de internet
Cons: Que se paga para tener acceso a internet y te das cuenta que al cruzar la frontera ya no puedes tener acceso,y después te das cuenta que el servicio es solo para Estados Unidos.

Pros: First time flying from SNA/OC. Accessibility of terminals was great, close by parking and only 2$/hour. Almost no wait for check in and security, very fast and convenient. Boarding was uncomplicated and there was enough space for carry on items. Loved that they offer wifi throughout the flight and free messaging (in case you don't need full internet access). Will definitely consider flying with Alaska Airlines again!

Pros: SeaTac was fabulous with my wheelchair. Thanks you
Cons: When I was picked up for my wheelchair in John Wayne airport, there was some short in the wheelchair that was causing a burning to my thigh. The person was totally unhelpful and I finally had to walk to my gate.

Pros: Complimentary wine was an unusual treat.
Cons: An hour delay while a replacement first officer was brought in. Considering the circumstances, Alaska Airlines probably did well to keep the delay minimized.

Pros: Attendants were wonderful. Good personality, sense of humor.
Cons: Seats pretty cramped , two seats side by sided. Not much room

Cons: I only put an okay for boarding due to an extra 20 minute late, but that really wasn't bad.

Cons: Flight delayed 2 hrs, was then arriving in the middle of the night. Very cold air on during flight and bright cabin lights on most of flight.

Pros: Everything was great
Cons: N/a

Pros: Their services m
Cons: There was no tv and it was a bit chilly in the flight

Pros: On time and no delays! Friendly service as well.
Cons: Nothing

Pros: I was impressed by the flight crew's professional manner of interacting with passengers. They were great!
Cons: Waiting for take-off, in a long line of planes at Seatac, exhaust from planes was very strong in our passenger cabin.

Pros: Short flight so no Entertainment

Pros: They let us move and get more comfortable, there was hardly anyone on the flight.
Cons: Seats are tiny.

Pros: When everything was said and done, and most other people on the flight were given free passage to SFO by Airporter bus and then put onto a flight into LAX and then arrange transportation to Orange County (which I had every reason to think was a nightmare for those trying to get to Orange County from LAX due to unclaimed packages (security uproar) and major traffic around LAX and would not work for my disabled family to drive 1.5 hours to pick me up) I paid for a bus to SFO myself and booked a flight from there to Santa Ana (John Wayne) on Southwest. I eventually arrived there around 730 PM. Alaska refunded my flight southbound and still offered me $400 credit which was nice of them. That being said, the propeller planes are really noisy so don't expect a comfortable experience. But its worth it for the convenience to travel from Santa Rosa, CA (Sonoma County Airport) to Santa Ana (John Wayne Airport) provided they don't cancel your flight. Alaska will be adding more flights on this same route by summer and they deserve some credit for that, but at the end of the day, it was my own resourcefulness that saved the day, and got me to my family December 22nd. I would have had to wait until December 24th through Alaska Airlines for the same flight, and that is when my family celebrates Christmas, so that was NOT a very appealing option.

Pros: Great service and friendly staff

Pros: The staff in the airport as well as on the plane were friendly and provided prompt service. Flight was quick with arrival estimates being on the over rather the under, nice little surprise.
Cons: Actually boarding the plane and getting off took a little longer than I liked, even for a medium sized plane. Might have been more efficient had people gotten to all their seats first and then put luggage away.

Pros: Great service, free beer/wine, quick boarding and exit and just a slight delay getting going!

Pros: Easy flight in and out

Pros: crew was nice and friendly and the plane landed earlier than estimated.
Cons: Middle seat was occupied on my flight.

Pros: Attentive crew very appreciated!

Cons: More legroom

Pros: Seat very spacious, was given a extra legroom sit
Cons: My screen was not working properly. I didn’t ask for help as I had work to do so I didn’t need it.

Cons: I was in the aisle seat and kept getting bumped into by the crew as they walked by. I leaned toward the middle seat but still got hit with the cart, people’s bums, their hips, etc. The flight landed at 4am, so I was tired and really wanted to sleep but couldn’t. Also, the AC was not working during the flight. We were all melting until we started descending. Then, while waiting to get off the plane, they turned off the AC completely. Bad move.

Pros: Room in the seat was humane. Respectable leg room and not squished with fellow travelers. Boarding process orderly.
Cons: Crew late to second leg of trip. Visibly tired from a long day.

Cons: The crew was outstanding and the aircraft was new and comfy

Cons: Xx

Cons: Taxi time to gate was almost half hour.

Pros: Crew was good for the situation.
Cons: Made me check a bag saying the overhead bins were full. When we got on the plane there was a huge amount of bin space. Wasted 45 minutes of my time waiting for a bag. Made us sit on the plane for two hours before takeoff even though they knew we were delayed upon boarding.

Cons: Rude staff, not willing to help

Cons: The flight arrived early but sat on the runway for almost a half hour before we were able to exit the plane, causing quite a number of passengers, myself included to miss connecting flights! Not okay.

Pros: Left on time. TSA boarding pass.
Cons: 1. Seats uncomfortable- too close together. Causing the person in the middle to lean on me. 2. The seat in front of me reclined into my space leaving me no room to extract my food tray and to cramped to work on my computer. 3. When buying a ticket no assigned seat. Paid 100.00 extra to select my seat and it didn’t allow me to choose anyway. When I went to select my return seat I had two choices- a middle seat or pay an additional 35.00 for a premium seat. 4. Had to pay 140.00 for luggage with no carry on (70.00 each way) 5. Not going to fly American anymore.

Pros: Phoenix to Santa Rosa 10 times better than Phoenix to San Francisco then driving the rest of the way.
Cons: Luggage took a long time to collect in Santa Rosa.

Pros: crew
Cons: Entertainment system broken. No heart Healthy food

Pros: Crew was nice.
Cons: Having to check my carryon even though I was in the 12th row. I saw some passengers putting two items in the overhead, which makes it unfair to others.

Cons: I waited over 45 minutes for luggage to even begin to unload. Absolutely ridiculous

Pros: Great no complaints

Pros: On time
Cons: Packed

Cons: The plane was too warm before take off.

Cons: I would have liked more Rosé.

Pros: The flight entertainment is really nice.
Cons: Boarding seemed very chaotic as staff tried to get people to check bags at the last minute. My chair would not decline properly.

Pros: From the time we got to the counter to boarding and then the flight, we were treated extremely well and with care. We were brought to the front of the line for preboarding. Everyone used our name and smiled as they provided service.
Cons: The TSA agent was cold and it took a supervisor to ensure our needs were met.

Cons: Unable to access the internet. It was American flight, not Alaska flight

Cons: We were unfortunately stuck on the tarmac for 45 minutes. I ran to my connecting gate but they had already closed it. There wasn’t a service rep at the gate. I walked to another gate and there was a very helpful rep who rebooked me to a nearby city. It overall was disappointing and caused me to get home about 3 1/2 hours later.

Pros: Pleasantly surprised by AA. I would definitely fly AA again

Cons: So. Many. Screaming. Children.

Pros: All AA employees I interacted with were professional & very helpful to me & my family. Thank you
Cons: NA

Pros: Food voucher, small consolation for a missed dinner with family!
Cons: Delayed due to tire issue, deboarded and were told another plane would be there in 45 minutes, took 3 hours!!

Pros: In flight entertainment is good.
Cons: Leg room is getting less and less. I’m 5’10” and couldn’t move my legs.

Pros: Almost all parts were more than satisfactory as expected
Cons: Didn't enjoy nor appreciate the nearly 9 hour delay due to plane maintenance issues.

Pros: The agent at the desk helped seat us together after our disastrous 1st flight. Crew was friendly & upbeat, great service.
Cons: Old plane No entertainment No place to plug in/charge devices.

Pros: Nice new Aircraft. Good service. Reasonable food.
Cons: Seats have little leg room. Like most....thry pack them in!

Pros: We pleaded with attendant to let us take our carry on. We were first to board and all others on the flight were volunteer bag check only. It is Very difficult for me to walk. We packed in small carry on just so we could avoid the baggage carasol. She could have Easily granted our wish and treated is in volunteer manner like everyone else. But no way.
Cons: Everything else was fine.

Pros: It got us there on time
Cons: No inflight entertainment on the longer flight. Uhgggg.

Pros: I was treated in a professional fashion
Cons: I don't think it is right for the airlines to have any passenger seating in such a tight space.

Pros: Nothing!
Cons: I was upset with overall customer service

Pros: I loved getting up close and personal with others.
Cons: I didn't like being stuck in a window seat next to two oversized passengers. The person in the isle announced to the middle seat that " I'm giving you notice that I need all of my seat". So the middle seat took up part of my seat, and I feel cheated, because I couldn't use all that I paid for.

Pros: The flight crew was exceptionally kind
Cons: I rarely check bags but this was the second time in the last few months that I have and they were both terrible experiences. Last time, on my return flight home from Phoenix, I was forced to pay $250 for my long sports bag, even though the tag to get there was still on it and my receipt showed that it was the standard fare and was bluntly told the other attendant 'didn't do their job.' This time, after my travel mate already checked in and payed for two bags, when we brought the bags to the counter to drop off, we asked for future reference what the procedure was for AAdvantage card holders to get their first bag checked free. Her response was that she couldn't refund our money. I told her I wasn't asking for a refund and repeated my question - how to do it in the future, to which she responded that we should have come straight to the counter without checking in but all accounts are different and she had no idea what his was. To her credit, she did warm up after that, perhaps she heard how abrupt and unhelpful she was being but it was unfortunate to start yet another airport experience with coldness at American Airlines

Pros: Have a great trip without any problems.

Pros: Entertainment had many options with a few good and recent movies.
Cons: I purchased Alaskan tickets, hoping for their legroom, baggage guarantees and excellent beer. Instead I got an American Air flight – one of their trusted partners. None of their deals carries over to AA. I guess I will pay closer attention next time.

Pros: Fast boarding and left gate on time on a holiday
Cons: Felt cramped in like cattle

Pros: I got home eventually
Cons: Wifi way too expensive compared to other airlines

Pros: The only thing to like was arriving on time.
Cons: Paid extra for priority boarding, that was a mistake. We got boarding group one but by the time all the families with kids, first class, and frequent flyers went ahead of us they called all remaining groups together. Forget about overhead space left over, we had to gate check carry on. Seats were very uncomfortable, no room under the seat because of a big metal box for power outlets. No leg room, sat shoulders and thighs touching with neighbors. No meal service, just drinks and pretzels, luckily we ate before departure. Never again!

Pros: Got pretty much what I expected from economy.
Cons: Lack of planning for carry on bags.

Pros: How dark the flight was to sleep
Cons: Delayed flight

Pros: The pilot and the crew were very apologetic and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable & relaxed.
Cons: We were delayed due to weather.

Cons: It was terrible. A missing flight attendant caused an extra delay in departure. Missed connecting flight. American Airlines was not prepared to assist all the stranded travelers. Had to spend night in the airport until I could get on a flight the next day. This was not what I paid for.

Pros: The entertainment selection was nice, and it was nice that we were served lunch.
Cons: On my flight from Medellin to Miami, the stewardess did not offer my row a drink. Then when I asked for one, I was told I can only have water or juice, of which I wanted neither. The plane rides were both extremely hot and uncomfortable. I was sweating profusely on both flights.

Pros: Crew was great
Cons: Nothing. Experience was awesome

Cons: Excellent experience

Pros: The pilot was very informative and the crew was well organized
Cons: All as great

Pros: Crew was very good and accodating

Cons: With the exception of delays due to thunderstorms all was excellent.

Pros: On time

Pros: Crew did great job filling a full flight quickly and efficiently.
Cons: Seats are small and I’m 6’ 190 lbs

Pros: Staff and entertainment
Cons: Comfort, seats felt tight

Pros: Get my bags to the airport on time!
Cons: Get my bags to baggage claim when I land. There was a 6 hour break between my first flight and arrival at destination. Seriously?

Pros: Comfy seats
Cons: Flight delayed and the entertainment was expensive. No charging outlet

Pros: I liked the United entertainment movies option. Full can of soda for free.
Cons: Only pretzels. Would prefer additional options - on other flights they offer peanuts or cookie. When you have to use your own device to watch the entertainment, you use battery. If battery dies before movie ends, too bad. In today’s cell phone world it would be nice to at least have USB charging available- cheaper than inflight screens!

Pros: Nothing
Cons: After the entire flight was boarded & ready to go the plane had a mechanical issue before take off. Had to sit on the plan for 90 minutes before we were allowed to exit the plane. No other flights available For family of three until 3 days later! Had to demand to be transferred to another airline so my family & I can go home the next morning. Overall stuck in SNA airport for 8 hours. Didn’t get a refund for baggage, instead was given meal vouchers for the airport in the morning. United did provide hotel for the night but nothing special. United staff where nice to make the best of the situation.

Pros: Comfortable as fell asleep before tak3 off and woke up when landing announced.

Pros: Free snacks
Cons: Not a lot of foot room

Pros: Service was friendly. Food ok. Entertainment acceptable for long flight.
Cons: There is More Variety of entertainment on Delta and American Airlines but otherwise comparable.

Pros: Had a granola bar at the customer service booth.
Cons: There was an unexplained delay of over 3 hours, customer service booth at the airport was slow and didn't help at all. People had different information about the flight time. Take off took a long time. I was seated at the back row, aisle seat when there were plenty of other seats available; had to hold the lavatory door so it wouldn't open because it was broken and it stinked a lot. Horrible experience.

Cons: I was told to go to gate 10, found out my flight was moved to 15 and missed flight sit at airport over

Pros: Smooth flight. Made up time in air. Decent snacks. Professional although not seemingly happy flight attendants.
Cons: Delayed take off. Sat on tarmac. The outgoing flight had free entertainment via the united app but the return flight required payment for the same fare class and same duration. Ran out of snacks for purchase.

Pros: Finally getting off the ground
Cons: Lack of information about the long delay; poor accommodations for the unplanned overnight stay.

Pros: It's only an hour flight
Cons: Flight was 1.5 hours delayed with no explanation or communication given for over an hour. Uncommunicative crew.

Pros: Nothing about this airline.
Cons: The crew at the gate was really rude. Zero customer service. She raised her voice at us and another customer who was charged $50 for our carry on. Not only was the flight delayed for over 2 hours. We were not informed that we could not bring a carry on even when we were at the main entrance with an agent for over 30 mins when you entered the airport. All their staff needs new training everyone kept on giving us a different answer. We asked because of this delayed will our room be comp due to the fact we will be missing our connected flight. On the phone the agent said yes. When we got to the airport that agent said no. When we got on the plane that agent said no. When we landed in Denver that agent comp our room. We ended up booking a room making sure we had a place to stay at night. It created more work for us because we were trying to cancel our room took even more time. Definitely wanted to give United the benefit of the doubt that they were at least at the level of American Airlines. The last time we flew United it was delayed for 8 hours they ended up canceling the flight. When we called they said it was the weather and we told that agent it's mechanical issue because we are watching someone remove the engine. We will stick to American Airlines. Free entertainment.

Pros: Super friendly staff, everything was great.
Cons: Nothing

Pros: Crew was accommodating. The flight was comfortable. The plane departed on time. The gate personnel were very helpful. When I got off the plane and saw that I did not have a gate assignment, one of the crew pulled out their phone, opened an app, and based on my flight number, told me what my gate was and where to go for the tram. Thank you!

Cons: As a frequent flyer, I'm used to slight delays, waiting around, and standard customer service across airlines. It's safe to say that this was one of the worst flying experiences that I've ever had....6 different 30 minute delays and horrible customer service.

Pros: Met newest grandson
Cons: Missing flight due to gate change.

Pros: safe
Cons: They where late coming for about 30 minutes and going back it was late 3 hours. very frustrating for picks.

Pros: We made up late departure and arrival was close to ontime.
Cons: Tight seating and luggage overhead bin storage too small. Our bins were already full with others bags when we boarded. Wonder why the bins above your assigned seat would be used by other passengers.

Cons: The flight was late, the seats have less leg room and the passengers were crabby

Pros: Surprised! My experience with United has typically been very poor. It's usually my last choice when choosing an airline. This is the first time I can honestly say I had a good experience on United. Plane was new, seats were very comfortable ans spacious (very rare), attendants were all under 70 years old and service was spot on. Huge change from the United I know.
Cons: You have to pay for satellite TV, usually free on other major carriers.

Pros: Punctual departure and arrival
Cons: The A319 that was used appeared quite tired. Strange irregular banging noises were heard and felt under the wing root area as jet taxied out of Santa Ana. After landing, a very high pitch squeal started and lasted 5 minutes after engine shut-down. Finally, there was a very loud "sawing noise" coming from under the aircraft after parking in the terminal that others commented about the loud sawing noise. Canadair aircraft was much nicer and quieter that was used from SFO to Santa Ana.

Pros: Being a red eye, they were too busy congregating among themselves and chatting away.. when requested for a beverage, the service was as though they were doing a big favor and the guests on-board were disturbing them..!!

Cons: I was refused boarding after being told I could fly. A horrible experience--rebooking for my wife and I cost us 1,000 dollars.

Pros: I love how polite and efficient your employees are. I was immediately offered assistance with baggage check in and with using the kiosk. You should be very proud of these staff for they represent United well. I thoroughly enjoyed every member I met.Thank you for a 100% wonderful experience.

Pros: Did not have the entertainment app but didn't know I needed to download it before the flight.
Cons: Crew was not prepared for boarding.

Pros: The united club
Cons: Allergy friendly snacks would be nice. Offering one free movie would be great and placing people who can't move well in seats that don't block others would be wonderful. The should be given a nicer seat with less people stuck inside

Pros: Economy Plus works well
Cons: United new seats are uncomfortable

Pros: -Fast check-in -Crew was friendly -Comfortable seat -Appreciate the beverage -Love the new safety videos

Pros: Anytime things are new, and the basic needs are met for service, I think people will be happy. But! Timing was estimate for an 8:56 arrival and we landed at 8:30, so great timing too.

Pros: It didn't crash
Cons: two hours late without any reason given, and forced to check my bag on the prior flight to the final destination meaning I can't get it at gate side. Numerous flights to Cedar Rapids through United have been canceled or delayed without any explanation - I don't have faith in United anymore and will not book with them again.

Pros: The snack boxes are very good. The on flight crew were excellent. The gate crew - not so much.
Cons: Row 32- seats don't recline. I requested to be sat with my children at booking - we were in different rows 3 of the 4 legs. My TV wouldn't accept cc payment.

Cons: Having to board and put away carry on thinking the flight will depart soon and then finding out within 15 mins when everyone have boarded and settle that the maintenance delay requires that everyone must evacuate the plane with their carry on luggages. We waited at the gate for nearly 2 hours because the flight clerk told us not to roam far due to continuous updates... It started out as a 30 min delay and ended as a 2 hour delay with gate and plane changes. Had we known it was a 2 hr delay we would have been able to go use the restroom and go eat in between without worrying that the flight will depart.

Pros: The seats were large and comfortable
Cons: I had to ask to get a drink, and was never offered food. Granted it was a red eye, but I was never even offered a cookie. I expected more after paying for first class. Plus, since it was an older plane, it didn't have the power ports they advertise. The guy sitting next to me didn't want to watch tv, but it didnt work and the screen wouldn't go off. They didn't offer him anything as a apology.

Cons: Wifi on the first flight was great, unable to view any entertainment on the connecting flight

Pros: No problems.
Cons: Nothing.

Cons: We had to land in San Antonio due to bad weather (understandable), but the customer service was appalling. They kept passengers on the plane for 3 hours and 45 minutes, which is prohibited by federa law. They failed to provide additional snacks when the passengers were on the plane for over 7.5 hours, and made it seem like it was such a nuisance when we asked for water. They were able to pass out one cookie by hour 6 but the flight attendant made it VERY clear that they had to do "so much paperwork" to get it approved. The flight attendants were rude, inconsiderate, and when asked what the game plan was after our 4 hour delay, their response was, ""not sure, not my department." If they didn't have answers, that's fine, but the manner and careless tone in which they replied was inconsiderate and insincere. When we finally landed at our half way destination in Houston, the flight attendant made a comment about how she can't get home due to all of the delays without considering that half of the passengers had the same dilemma and paid hundreds of dollars for their flights! The flight attendant had no empathy or respect and I would NEVER take this airline again. We spent the night at the airport and are still trying to find a flight to our destinatiom in New York :(

Pros: Take off and landing was 15 mins ahead of schedule.
Cons: Legroom on the plane was cramped.

Cons: Waiting in S.F. for flight to board. Crew announces flight will be 1 hour and ten minutes late. A few minutes later, announces the pilot is on his way and may be a half an hour late. The gate number was not announced until about a half an hour before boarding. We finally boarded and was told that co-pilot was not at airport. It was a terrible experience with United.

Pros: The flight crew was nice
Cons: The flights landing was a fast decent

Pros: She saw me boarding with two small kids and came right up with snacks and juice! Much appreciated. Also I really like that you do pre-boarding again for families with young ones. Thank you.
Cons: Food. You said you have wifi but I was never able to connect. Don't understand.
