I upgraded to a better seat and it was much more comfortable. Nobody serves food anymore and actually on a 2+ hr flight not necessary. I didn’t even get water.
Good staff. Comfortable seats. Had to check my bag because the flight was too full.
The flight was extremely smooth, and so was the landing. Great piloting.
Arrived in Seattle to find our non stop flight was canceled and that we were rebooked to depart 16 hrs later. We stood in customer relation line for well over an hour and a half to find out what to do with our frozen fish that was checked bags and to get to our destination in a more timely fashion. There were only 2 Alaska reps working trying to help at least 2 cancelled flights that we know about. At one point a 3 rd rep showed up and shortly after one rep left stating she was going on break. There were atleast 50 people still in line. Finally We were rerouted through a different airport adding another stop the next day and given flight confirmation but no seat assignment stating ticket vouchers needed to be attached. We were then told to go to Alaska air luggage to request our fish be put in the freezer. The supervisor at baggage told us the freezer was full and that there was nothing he could do about it. Luckily he walked off and the ladies at the counter made sure our fish was put in the freezer. The following morning we had to be back to baggage to make sure our fish was tagged appropriately to get to our destination on a separate flight. . Both of our return flights we had to take we had to stand in line for the ticket people to try to find our ticket vouchers to attach to the boarding passes we were given. Al together our return took 31 hrs instead of the 12 hrs scheduled.
Our original fluffy was cancelled. Our substitute flight didn't fly. We lost out on our hotel and car rental. Had to fly out the next morning. Alaska didn't give us any meaningful information. The first flight was scheduled to leave at 4pm and the substitute flight at 9pm. We left the airport at midnight for a hotel. No weather. Beyond disappointed.
Did not travel - unexpected medical emergency. Nonrefundable tickets, but Alaska Air sent credit vouchers for the entire amount (very generous, and I didn't expect that). However, I paid for insurance with Kayak's partner company. The 'insurance' might pay for lost baggage, but they referred to the contract in refusing to a dime on the policy. (If you died from a heart attack in the waiting area, I suspect they would claim the right to DENY if your general practitioner had found high blood pressure previously and prescribed daily HTCZ pills - even tiny ones.) They described a policy to deny any claim with even the slightest whiff of pre-existing. I suspect that they probably almost NEVER pay money out on a medical claim, and that their 'local medical assistance' has no coverage either - that it's just an abusive profit center sending gigantic bills while contributing nothing from your 'policy coverage'.
Paid for first class received 3rd class treatment. No WI Fi, no in flight entertainment, noin flight beverage service. Had to go OUTSIDE in rain to board aircraft using a stairway
I like non stop flights. It was overbooked and I would have taken the offer to give up m seat. Prior obligations prevented that option.
there were four of us flying and two of us offered to gate check out bags since they said it was a full flight. once we boarded my daughter was able to find space in a first class compartment because there wasn't space in any other compartment bc they were SOOOO small... but the first class passenger was so uptight about his jacket being in the same space as her carry on they made her check her bag. there are no charging ports and no outlets to charge any device so be sure to have electronics fully charged. out of our two flights this was the one that had snacks- the one on the way back did not.
We had a very good experience on Alaska Airlines. Everything ran like clockwork . I was pleasantly surprised that we were on time and this was the worst time to fly - Thanksgiving
Flight was delayed, full flight and I had to change gates. Southwest flights are always late later in the day.
Not having a five hour delay with little notice! The crew was very kind, though, and just as tired as we passengers were. The flight didn't depart until nearly 1 am...and no reason was ever given.
Great flight from Seattle to Phoenix and to Chicago-Midway from Phoenix
I really like open seating. I hate that I've heard this is going away. This is one of the unique things that makes Southwest my goto choice.
Same comment as before. Bad hit damaged in transport. It lost a wheel. Other than that, everything was good!
Any type of entertainment option would be nice. Would like power options for charging devices
Left GEG had the first flight of the morning and couldn’t leave due to broken plane then got redirected on to another flight which then I missed my connecting flight so they rescheduled my connecting flight then that one took off 3 1/2 hours late my 4 1/2 hour day turned into a 12 1/2 hour day
Plane was a little better as it was not a sold out plane so it was slightly better to sit in the seats but they are making the seats smaller and smaller
The people of SW Airlines really make it nice to fly.
More assistance and clarity for travelers with gate checking and lap children
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.
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
It was delayed but other than that it was great.
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.
First class ticket. They ran out of food and I sat hungry watching the others eat
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.
Flight was delayed but more than 90 minutes. This caused me to miss my available windows for pick-up by a friend. I had to pay $125 for an uber back home from the airport which was an added expense that I had not budgeted for my trip. Staff was friendly.
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
Seats are outdated. Entertainment relies on personal device. Boarding was delayed due to inaccurate passenger tracking, resulted in late arrival at Reno.
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.
Paid WiFi was only available for a few minutes. Avoid at all costs.
