My experience was significantly impacted by problems in Seattle with luggage check-in. Apparently, Alaska Air was significantly understaffed in this area for the number of passengers for that morning or they had issues with the machinery processing and loading the baggage. Upon tagging my suitcase, I was sent from one drop-off area to another and yet a third on a different floor. The line to do most of this was VERY long and moved quite slowly at first--I just barely made it on time to catch my flight even. though I arrived at the airport an hour and 40 minutes early. Then when I arrived in Charleston, my bag didn't arrive on the carousel with other luggage and I had to spend extra time tracking it down.. The relative who helped me out at SEATAC said he had never seen the airport so backed up and he travels out of that airport frequently. It was a very stressful experience, and very disappointing.
NO ENTERTAINMENT OR WIFI OR FOOD. ONLY WATER TO DRINK AND SPICY PRESTLES TO TAL CHAEOS AT CHECKIN
Boarding was smooth, the crew was kind and friendly, and even though we were in the Saver class, the seats were generous enough for my daughter to nap on me and I had enough room to recline and sleep for our overnight flight. If I had stayed awake I might have quibbled with the lack of a true meal, but the snacks worked for me and when my daughter was hungry (as she did NOT sleep), the crew took care of her. There was room for all of our bags on a very full flight, which was nice. It has been awhile since I haven’t checked a bag, so I had worried.
Customer service of one flight attendant, impersonal to asking questions
Great and comfortable aircraft. Good food and the staff was amazing
Someone rebooked my Alaska flight to a much later Delta flight. Now I am sitting at the Seattle airport after a long international flight and have to wait another 4 hours even though I would have been able to catch my initial flight
I was very surprised that at the Seattle airport, Alaska's main hub, that the gates were very small and very close together, and it was very hard to discourage between my flight, and the flight next to us going to Boise and the flight next to that going to Denver. Denver. The audio for all three Gates was at the same level, and almost impossible to differentiate unless they actually said their flight number and location. Location. People tried to get on our plane, before they were ready, because they were confused about the Denver announcements. We were on a Boeing 737- 800 00, that must have recently been redone. It actually had USB--c ports which really surprised me. The Apu was out on the plane, so when we got on it was very very hot. A lot of people were complaining. The gate agents were very professional, but it was a lot going on and even though there were two of them, I think they could have used another person to help them. Mandy was particularly helpful in getting me a window seat. Flight crew was up to the usual Alaska airline standard, which is very high. Can we please get another snack then garlic pretzels? It would also be nice, if they knew ahead that the flight was full, to offer to let us check in our bags for free at baggage check, and not at the gate!
On time, good seats, not overly full, up beast positive crew.
You guys did great, the only thing keeping me from the higher rating is the physical dimensions of the seats, which staff has no control over. Keep up the good job.
I had to gate check my luggage and it was a pleasant experience as I never done that procedure before. Everything went smoothly.
My flight was delayed by 4 hours in 30 minute increments. The gate agents were amazing but the communication was not. We were told that there was a maintenance issue but they didn't know what it was. That didn't inspire confidence. Then they said they found it and it was fixed and the pilot just needed to sign off. Then the pilot needed to talk to the other pilot from the arriving flight and we'd be fine. Then we were waiting for the pilot to call back. Then the maintenance issue wasn't fixed. Then they decided we were getting a new plane (why didn't they decide this earlier??). Fine. But then they announced we were changing gates AND terminals. And we were boarding in 20 minutes. So we all had to run to the new terminal gate. We could have taken off at that time, but we then had to wait for all the people who rebooked on a different flight to book this flight again. That took 30+ minutes because there was only one gate agent. When everyone ditched this flight, I saw it as an opportunity to upgrade to comfort. Delta, the greedy jerks they are, charged me $121. After their delay, their fault, their issues, couldn't even discount an upgrade. They only handed out $12 meal vouchers for the delay. I can't even get a snack from starbucks for that.
Love me some Delta. One of the few airlines to recognize and support veterans. Easy boarding, flight was on time and arrived early and the flight attendants were excellent on this flight.
We sat on the runway for over an hour before departure. That was unwelcome.
The Boarding process was great. Particularly since my wife and I require assistance. The flight attendants were amazing. We travel frequently; they honestly were a cut above. 😀
Crew was nice, meal was good. Entertainment had to be rebooted 3 times and still did not work. Turns out there was residue on screen, it needed to be cleaned to prevent the touchscreen buttons from continuously activating. I had entertainment for the last 45 minutes of a 5 hour 45 minute flight. Really unacceptable for first class. Flight attendent indicated your cleaning solution creates this problem. Seems as if this is widely known, you should be using a different product or cleaning better. Really really disappointing which simply added to the wi fi on your planes with reliably never ever works.
Snacks and included beverages were appreciated. Boarding went smoothly. Plenty of overhead bin space. Seats get very uncomfortable after a couple of hours. After waiting 10 painful minutes for my walker, a very nice Delta guest agent pushed me in a wheelchair to the gate. It was finally delivered to me after another 15 minutes . Our checked bag was on the carousel long b4 I was able to retrieve it. Fortunately it was still there but somewhere along the way the straps we used to secure it were removed and and were not reattached. Wish I had made note of the agents name.
The cabin temperature was nice and cool. The wifi was not working.
Could not get my connecting flight boarding pass until four hrs before departure! Ver annoying especially since the staff could not explain why!
First flight out and was 85 minutes delayed. Notification came out way too late
Was forced to check in my small carry on, even though I informed the crew it has very fragile items inside
There was no wifi available at any price -- the plane did not have wifi equipment. Movie choices were blah - hits from the past; nothing recent. The food was blah airplane food. They should have had Mai Tai drinks available as per the Hawaiian Airlines magazine, but they had none onboard.
The crew at Hawaiian Airlines was fantastic. Kind and hard working. The pilots were great with giving us all the updates to make sure we were informed.
Flight scheduled to take off at 5.55pm but it did not take off until 7pm due to some food delivery delay.
The crew was quite good, they came by often with drinks or to collect trash. But what wasn't nice was the flight was over weigh and several people had to be rebooked. I was questioned whether I should have a seat when I was getting to it. The in-flight entertainment kept buffering and interrupting. And the route took the airplane through high winds which caused us a longer flight
Wasn’t on the flight due to Alaska cancellation…also after all the rerouting, I was going to be on a later flight that left SFO at 7:47pm, which meant an almost 6 hour layover. That same Hawaiian flight was delayed for another 2hours.
Flight was smooth and comfortable. We were able to check a bag at counter due to full flight and boarded with an earlier group. We were there very early and didn’t hear the gate change just noticed our flight was no longer displayed st the gate. There were two other flights with gate shuffles - may be unavoidable but not desirable. First time I had to print my own luggage tag and attach at arrival. Not a fan of that process.
I received an email from Kayak with confirmation number for Hawaiian and another for Alaska. I received emails from Kayak for both my outbound and return flight to say "time to check in." Despite trying each number (Hawaiian and Alaska), I could not check in for outbound or return. It was then confusing at the airport - I hda "no place to go" to figure out how to check in. All the kiosks are marked "scan bag,etc." I wandered around with no agent to talk to. That was a bit stressful. Either Kayak, or airline, needed better communication on what to expect and to do.
When I purchased my ticket, it said i was flying with Hawaii airlines. Which is now operated by Alaska. Naturally I went to check in with Hawaii airlines once at the airport. However, there was no one at the desk until 7 am and their kiosk couldn’t find my tickets. I went over to Alaska and they said they couldn’t help me and to wait for Hawaii. My flight left at 7:15 so I didn’t have time to wait. They even told me to ask United which was next to the Hawaii desk what time Hawaii opened. I called the Hawaii airlines number and the operator told me to ask Alaska for help since my flight was operated by Alaska. So I went back and almost got brushed off again and sent to Hawaii. The Alaska desk attendant told me to check in at their kiosk but it didn’t work. I ran over to an older lady who was helping check bags and asked for help printing my boarding passes. Thankful she was able to do it right away! This whole debacle took a little over an hour. I wish there was better communication and knowledge between the two airlines because it could have been easily handled if everyone between the two airlines was on the same page. Once I ran through the airport to get to my gate, we were greeted with a smile and they seemed glad we made our flight! We were the last to board and barely made it. After the headache our flight was great! No complaints there.
Biggest issue: awfully narrow seats, + not a lot of leg room. Other than that, everything was good. Cabin crew seemed like very nice people.
We got surprised and switched to Alaska airline. Dirtiest tray and seats I have ever board on and we travel all the time. Help desk would not help by chat as I'm disabled to get my sets assigned tell me call Hawaiian air. I call Hawaiian air was told the flights RT are by Alaska. Make it short, worse flights of our life.
At my original departure Istanbul I was told my seat and flight was cancelled from the 3rd party. I had no seat to get to my other flights .. they charged me $481 USD to board the flight that I already paid for
From the check-in, to the flight, and arriving, everything went very smoothly. Unfortunately, when I received my baggage it was severely damaged. I have a hard shelled suitcase and it was completely smashed it. I’m not sure how this could happened but I am extremely disappointed that my belongings were damaged beyond repair and continued use.
Annoying that we had to go to departures and get boarding passes. Should allow us to be booked all the way through, this is the only airline i have this problem with in MEX. Late boarding and take off
Lousy No wheelchair. As normal at Atlanta Cheap airline Cheap aero plane. - Neither entertainment nor food on a 5 hour saga
The plane was so outdated, that it made it uncomfortable. The temperature was hot during the whole flight
Some entertainment and food/snack service would have been nice
All the pessengers should be wait in a line útil the creo and piloto are arrived.
Planes seat could be bigger very uncomfortable for tall humans.
1 hour waiting for suitcases to come out traveling in business class and food in business class is a sandwich? Avoid Aeromexico .
No space reserved for anyone who didn’t have underseat in front of them. Made it inconvenient to get the backs secured. No inflight entertainment in the 190. Bring your own! Food was excellent and we were surprised to get a full breakfast.
Our flight was delayed several Times due to mechanical issues. Although I understand this may happen at times, it was very inconvenient and we had to book a hotel for an overnight stay. We were traveling with my 3-yo grandson and waiting at the airport from noon until 6:30pm with no reassurance that our next rescheduled flight would depart, we had to decide what’s best for him. A day later, I found out that I may be able to demand compensation if my flight is delayed more than 4 hours. I will hav to read the fine print next time.
Very comfortable seating and the Flight staff were very attentive. The premium economy section that I was seated in was very clean, updated, and well appointed. I would highly recommend flying United Airlines as this experience was better than the Japan Airlines business class that I flew several months ago.
United needs to step up their game. Delayed flight leaving Seattle, San Francisco. Older aircraft, not very comfortable.
Had to cancel first flight because Airporter Bus took over 3 hrs to get to airport which resulted in an extra $378 dollar fare . Is there anyway I can be reimbursed for initial fare since it was not my fault? Sent from my iPhone EJ Ledet
Delayed by 2.5hrs any longer and they would’ve had to honour their own policy for breaking their own rules and regs. Not cool, especially when I have an infant child that needs to stay on a routine and they get schedules.
They had three choices for snacks - but you could only have one - and they ran out of the dark chocolate before they made it all the way down the aisle... Packed flight - limited service.
They opened my checked bag and even though my lock was tsa approved, they loose my lock and left my bag just like that. Incompetent people, very upset about it. I’ll try to avoid traveling with united
We fly to Ecuador frequently. Checking in is usually a hassle because most United agents take some time before they can verify that my passport doesn't require a visa to Ecuador. This time the process was even longer due to the cyber attack. But she was really nice to us. So glad we brought plenty of snacks to supplement the 3 flights from SEA to GYE.
We had selected seats in the app that were a 2x2 format in the middle of the plane. Our seats when we got on the plane had been moved to the back rows in a 3x1 format. What’s the point of paying up for tickets that allow seat selection if the airline will just change them?
The new Airbus A231neo has neat tech but the economy seats are so tight together that I always had my shoulders against one passenger or the other. I was very miffed that Basic Economy REQUIRES check-in of bags other than your personal carry-on; if you want to offer low-cost airline prices and then add services for a fee, just let me carry on my duffel. Hell, I could have put my carry on IN the duffel and called it a day but the gate agent would not let me; I ended up paying $40 for the risk of losing my bag. Not the worst flight, but far from the best.
