It’s great, long flight and arrive safe at destination

Everything was excellent as I expected. They also had a very caring crew. I had a headache and asked a Tylenol. The crew members kept checking with me how I was doing.

I can't believe they put my wife and I in the two middle seats! It is a very long flight and we had single flyers on either side of us blocking the way to the bathroom! There's no reason to not give one of us the isle seat so we could have managed bathroom needs and snacks with convenience. So I think very poorly of Korean air to put us both in the middle, I've never had that happen before and will probably avoid this airline in the future because of this. We tried to have them change it but they didn't so you pretty much lost a customer because of it.

There could have been better spacing of the passengers, it was crowded in some parts of the plane then other while rows were empty

Plane took off on time and I had the whole row to myself!

One of the flight attendants stepped on my foot. I was on the aisle seat. A lady inside needed to get out. So Instood. Just then, a flight attentendant came wuicklybtheoughbthe aisle and stepprd on my sock covered toes. I let out a small sound. She stopped momentarily, but didn’t ask how I was just took off of the aisle. Never came back to see how I was. Fortunately, I was not really hurt other than a slight soreness in my toes. But I found that to be very negligent.

This flight was a superior flight in all regards. Extremely pleasant experience.

Korean Air is unlike any other major airline I have flown with. The grace and respect that the staff has from check in to de-boarding is unmatched. The flight attendants this time were especially wonderful to my five little children. They helped us rearrange to more suitable seating, brought our children’s meals, and patiently waited for them in the aisles when they had to use the bathroom. We felt so welcome and comfortable. I really appreciate the meal voucher when our flight was delayed. I am grateful to have had such an stress-free experience.

It's good overall. Flight was packed. Inflight entertainment choices were lacking.

Exactly as anticipated. I've always preferred Alaska Airlines over all others.

Crew were bad Didn’t help with luggage When asked for a glass of wine, I was told that they will serve later , which they didn’t to Me and didn’t serve anyone else in First class . Didn’t offer any snacks , Chips or Nuts to anyone . Flight was not crowded either. Worst Service/ or No Service !

A solidly good experience, but would’ve appreciated more communication with regards to travel delays.

Flight crew great! No WiFi not great. Someone took my bag not great!

Free WiFi was awesome. I hate the five hour delayed take off.. arrrgh!

I wasn’t aware that we needed to supply our own screens for entertainment

Alaska is consistently the best in all categories. Excellent airlines and employees

My daughter has anxiety and became nauseous after boarding the plane and before take off. She went to the plane bathroom and ended up having to vomit, and your staff promptly removed us from the flight. We explained that it was due to my daughter’s anxiety, and that the condition would not continue in the air, but they removed us anyway. We have flown many many times before on many different airlines and my daughter’s anxiety has resulted in nausea and sickness before takeoff, and every airline has been accommodating and professional. This is was our first time flying with your airline, and also the first time we have ever been removed from a flight. This was the worst service we have ever experienced. This was a special surprise trip we gifted to my daughter for graduating college. I had also paid to upgrade the family to first class and sit all together which we had never done before and can’t afford on a normal basis. Our removal from the flight was not only extremely embarrassing, but devastating for my daughter. My daughter and I were removed from the plane and a call was made by your staff to medical personnel, a few questions were asked of my daughter, and then she was magically cleared. All of this took mere minutes. Why this could not have been performed while we were on the plane, or why this could not have been performed off the plane and then us allowed to reboard is beyond me. My wife and youngest daughter continued on the original flight alone and were very upset and crying due to the situation, yet the staff did nothing to console or assist them. My wife states that upon arrival in Portland and as they were exiting the plane, one of the stewardesses involved said “byyyyeeeee” to them sarcastically and laughed. Myself and my oldest daughter had to wait 4 hours for an alternate flight and were sat in regular seats because our first class seat purchase could not be honored. My wife wasn’t allowed to pick up our rental car and had to wait 4 hours with our luggage until I arrived. The delay prevented us from being able to carry out planned events and ruined the first day of our trip. Upon explaining all of this to your customer service, we received no sympathy, assistance, or compensation other than your staff submitting a request for a reimbursement of my and my daughters first class upgrade cost. When checking in early for our flight back home, the luggage cost for myself and my eldest daughter was no longer discounted as it was for my wife and youngest daughter. Customer service once again could not assist me over the phone and rectify what should have been a minor adjustment. Instead they stated I would have to wait until we physically checked bags in at the airport and then ask staff to adjust the luggage cost. With everything else we had experienced, I was not going to leave that to chance and instead paid full price for the luggage ahead of time. Or experience with Alaska Airlines was a complete disaster and I am baffled at the lack of empathy and assistance from your staff. I’m not sure of what else to say other than the fact that unless we are compensated by Alaska Airlines in some form to offset the horrendous service we received, we will be relaying our experience to family and friends and on social media, and doing all we can to urge everyone to avoid utilizing your services.

Alaska Airlines staff go out of their way to accommodate my fragile musical instrument, every time. They are unlike any other airline. I've experienced this can-do attitude on several flights with different staff, so this must be the culture of their company. I appreciate Alaska!

I liked everything except, I left a brand new Switch 2 on the plane and talking to anybody about it is nearly impossible. I had to fill out a form and hope they get back to me in the next 2 weeks. I really hope they contact me. I saved for that thing for over a year and my son is heart broken.

Generally on time departures and arrivals, clean planes, sky miles membership provides great benefits (complimentary upgrades, etc).

Flight from Fort Wayne to Atlanta was the smallest in terms of cabin space that I've ever seen. A carry on I've used for 20 years BARELY fit in overhead compartment. I'm 5'10" and felt very cramped. Not the best experience.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the poor service and unprofessional staff we encountered when traveling with an infant. Our flight was delayed, and the gate staff failed to manage the boarding process appropriately. Due to incorrect, unavailable, or missing 'pink tag' stroller and car seat check-in procedures at the gate, we were forced to board last. Furthermore, the gate staff was rude and dismissive, causing significant distress to our infant. To make matters worse, one of our checked items—an infant sleeper/lounger—was returned to us broken. Given the unsafe handling of essential equipment and unprofessional treatment, I expect a prompt resolution regarding compensation for the damaged items.

We departed and landed early which was a nice surprise. The boarding process was slow.

N Everything was perfect from boarding to assistance to baggage in Tampa

Subpar. The seating on the plane is almost unbearable. We are literally touching and/or sitting on each other which is totally unacceptable and shameful. Pilots and crew was very accommodating and friendly.

The boarding was organized and informative but the plane was tight meaning that you were sitting on one another and extremely uncomfortable. It’s disappointing that can’t have common seating comfort on the plane.

Loved the crew! Sucks that we went from 1 hour and 8 minute layover to a 3 hour layover. But weather sucks like that.

I was told that they needed to check my bag at the gate and to pick it up at the gate in Richmond. No big deal. I know they can't control the weather, but we flew around RIC for 45 minutes to avoid the storm and were 25 minutes late leaving as well. Once we landed, we were told to go to baggage claim to pick up our luggage. I went to bathroom, paid for parking, and went to the assigned baggage claim location. United flight people came down with us as well. They got their luggage immediately. Next, South West people came down about 10 minutes later. They got their luggage next. We finally got our luggage around 30 minutes in waiting. Was not a wonderful experience. No reflection on Delta, but the ground crew was lousy at best.

Everything could have benn better. Short fly, no food, no entertainment and no wifi.

Food and drink service was very low quality. The flight attendants in business class must have been short some staff. Service was sluggish and not much English was spoken

The flight was officially delayed 3 times, and was actually later than that. Combined, it was a 3 hour delay, but there was no recognition (miles, voucher, etc). The crew seemed stressed. The captain sounded nervous in his announcements. The flight itself was smooth and uneventful.

Just a bad day to fly. Flight was delayed from scheduled 6:50 pm departure to 8:50 pm. Combination of factors mostly related to weather at the destination airport (which is where the incoming flight originated) which delayed the inbound flight over an hour. Once on board, we taxied but had to hold again on the taxiway for 10 minutes or so. We did not get wheels up until after 9 pm. The flight was smooth but about 18 minutes from our destination, we had to hold for several minutes more due to weather at ORD. We finally landed at ORD about 11:08 pm (accounting for the time difference, that was about a 3 hour delay from our scheduled departure time). It felt like we were never going to get to our destination. But the flight crew and attendants were very good. The movie selection onboard was also very nice. Got to watch half of a movie just during our taxi from the gate at ATL due to the delay!

3 hour delay…. Nearly 2 hours sitting on tarmac. Do better, United. Or at least have the sense to not say “we hope you enjoyed your flight with us” upon disembarking.

Flights were on time. Free Wifi on plane. Everything was well organized.

Economy plus was so cramped I could not use my laptop. It was beyond bad.

Would've been great if Lufthansa union cockpit pilots didn't strike for 2 days and caused a chaos to my returning plans to USA, and then after rebooking a flight 2 days later tge plane departed 35 min later. So I did not have a good experience.

They never clean the toilet, and the food is worse

Wonderful. Quick boarding. Early departure and we arrived 30 minutes early at our destination. Unfortunately, when you arrive early, there is still a departing aircraft at our gate. We had to park for 30 minutes until the gate was clear. So our early arrival was not really early at the gate. Otherwise it was a quick and smooth flight. Appreciated the efficiency.

Chargers didn’t work, no entertainment and we had to wait for taxiing for easily 40 minutes after arriving early. Bags were late too!

After 3 hours of delays, they ended up cancelling my flight. And although I could purchase one-way tickets to get to my destination, they would not offer me these flights as compensation for the cancelled flight, and I didn't end up making it home until 13 hours after I was originally supposed to arrive. It made for an extremely strenuous end to an otherwise good trip.

It's kindof ridiculous that your system is even asking me about this since my flight was canceled and I wasn't rescheduled.

Bad service as well. Another 3hr delayed flight from chicago to Charlotte.

Very bad service the way back we was on the way for r two days very bad condition and waiting for luggage till now

United had no (zero) record of our flight. It took over an hour of us standing in line with surly employee while others waited to get resolved. I have never experienced such poor service and poor empathy.

Or the greatest and it ended up picking us up from Chicago to Toronto not sure who was tesponsible for the 4 hr delay. United should have been properly prepared for a scheduled flight from Austin to Chicago and they were not.

The service was good ... I wondered if the stewardess was OK though as she seemed quite sad.

Terrible food, unprofessional flight attendants, and an uncomfortable seat. The food they provided was the worst I have ever had since I flew. They were worse than any cheap food you can get at convenience stores. A flight attendant talked to me in an insulting and demanding manner. If she wanted to say something, she should have said it professionally and kindly. No flight attendants served any drinks or snacks. If I needed a drink or snacks, I had to get up from my seat and go to the airplane's back area and serve myself. What were the flight attendants doing during their work shifts? A man sitting in front of me fully extended his chair to the back, so I had virtually no space to eat with reasonable comfort. Many people were so inconsiderate of others and fully extended their chairs to the back that they did not have enough space to eat. Flight attendants ignored these situations and never bothered to tell passengers to return their chairs to upright positions during the mealtime. I want to be comfortable and don't care if others feel uncomfortable because of me. Those were the dominant thoughts of people in that airplane. I paid more than $2000.00 for this terrible experience.

My flight was overbooked and they would not let me board. I had to book another flight and pay the full amount of that flight. I did not get any help at all from Air Canada or United Airlines.

Very nice. Cabin crew is very attentive and professional. So nice!
