I reserved exit row as I am 6’7” and was very disappointed to find out that my seats were as crammed together as the rest of the plane. Worse actually, as the seats don’t recline. I believe I paid an additional $200 apiece. What do I get for that? I guess it’s on me that I didn’t do the research to know this in advance but I’m tired of buying airfare which used to include an actual seat on the plane and now it is an additional charge. I think the seats I purchased are sold at a premium by deception by people like me that think these are desirable. Got forbid there’s an incident and passengers have to escape through these tiny passages. Love to travel but have to reconsider future trips because of the dishonesty of your industry. Have always had good experience in the past with Alaska but now I have soured. Thank you very little, Dean Jones.
The boarding was fairly good, the flight attendants were efficient & patient, we had a decent snack for food, the arrival was smooth. Very happy with my overall experience!
Needed a bit of help to gate. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. The crew on the flight was amazing.
Everything was fine, flight was on time. Seats are pretty comfortable. I paid extra for the extra leg room. Did not get food. The only thing I wish Alaska had was a seat back screen rather than trying to watch things on my phone.
For a 6 hour flight better snacks at least bag of chips should be offered all we got was connamon pretzels going and coming back nothing but maybe bc it’s an overnight.
The only thing I had issue with was the screaming 2-3 year old behind me who decided at the beginning and end of our trip we needed to listen to her literally scream at the top of her lungs and throw a huge tantrum- it had nothing to do with ear pressure. Nothing the air line can do about that. SMH. Crew and all employees were fantastic
The flight attendants stood there talking to each other instead of welcoming people on the flight.
Great flight with great crew. I like that they came around to serve our strings twice during our four-hour flight.
Alaska was fine. My issue is with the booking via Kayak. The seating charts I picked seats from were wrong, I chose window seats (E) but those were actually middle seats on the plane.
Start with the boarding experience. Our flight from Seattle to Dulles Airport in Virginia was delayed because of mechanical issues with the aircraft. Nothing we could do about that. But the board in the passenger gate waiting area gave a boarding time with the delay, and we watched that. The waiting area was large, and we could not understand anything the gate attendant announced. By the time we four passenger realized the aircraft was boarding before the displayed time, we had missed our board-first opportunity (we were flying full-price First Class) and we were behind all the "Category B" boarders. we had one carry-on bag, and when we finally reached our row, all the overhead bins were full. The flight attendant had to remove some stuff to make room for our bag. He also announced that anyone on the flight could stuff their bag wherever they chose. Second, the food was terrible. I don't believe I have ever had choices that were so poorly conceived, especially in First Class, and I have flown to sixty-five countries. Third, the aircraft itself, a Boeing 737-900, is a pitiful excuse for comfort. Unlike the Airbus on which we flew to-and-from Honolulu to Seattle, the seats did not recline much, and other than a bit more leg room, there was no advantage to having paid the premium to fly Fist Class. I can assure you that we will never willingly fly Alaska Airlines again.
A List preferred boarding was nice Asked for a mask and cheerfully received Denver bag check-in is tricky. Not near other checking desk. Have to navigate to east security and up to level six for bag checkin. TSA busy and 20 minutes process thru pre lines Denver train to gates quick but one more thing to plan time for and long concourse walk to gate
Not exactly Southwest’s problem, but the new Burbank airport is not great. No restaurants open and tons of work still to be completed. Can’t believe they opened the airport in that condition.
You made me miss my connecting flight. I can not go to Cleveland on teh revised flight you are sending as I will the entire meeting. I have no option that to fly back. I hope you compensate me for the loss.
Overall great! Internet was a little slow but no other issues.
Horrible communication from Southwest. No accountability. Flight was delayed for 4 hours and TSA closed in the interim. We were not allowed to our gate. Southwest knew this information and did not relay to their customers to arrive to the airport earlier.
Flight boarded 2.5 hours late (my second southwest flight of the day with late departure), the gate agent was grumpy and unhelpful. Said she was "tired so we aren't going to follow normal boarding order". No complaints about the actual flight crew.
Your computers were down and took a long time to check baggage
Southwest has lost most of what made it special. The flight attendants all used to seem fun and like they were having fun. Now they seem just miserable. They do NOT seem happy to give you your pretzels and drinks. They stick it in your hand or on your tray like it's an annoyance. They bark safety instructions at you. It's not just this flight but the last few SW flights I've had to SNA and SAN as well and it's not just me. I've informally surveyed my colleagues (business and leisure travelers) and these feelings are consistent. The tickets are similarly priced to other carriers and the seat assignments make boarding slower. The free luggage and free ability to change flights is still a differentiator. You lose that and there's virtually nothing special left.
Flight attendant skipped about 6 rows for drink service. I got a side eye when I asked for a drink - like it was an inconvenience or my mistake. He shouldn't be on a flight if he doesn't like his job and doesn't have customer service first attitude.
The entire crew were wonderful but 1 flight attendant stood out with his sense of humor on the microphone. I told him as much as I exited the plane.
First, off the bat, the Delta gate attendant was rude, inattentive and gave us an attitude when we asked for clarification of our seats for this rebooked flight as we missed our connecting flight due to the delay from Berlin. Flight attendants were all but friendly, rushed through for water refills so you couldn’t even catch them to request more water. Snacks were just OK. Headphones for the movies were so bad that with the airplane noise, the volume of the movie wouldn’t go up enough to even understand the voices. I had to turn on CC to even know what was being said.
Great flight. Thank you for the upgrade to first class.
The landing was sooooo bad. I have never seen such a hit to the ground.i got a jerk to my back as i was sitting on the rear emergency exit. So felt the impact eveb stronger. While we exit from the plane the power to the plane was cut off
Not up to Delta standards. Flight attendant in FC seemed more about just going through the motions than providing friendly customer service. Efficient but mechanical. Never smiled. Never acknowledged pleasantries. Never offered to hang my suit jacket. Just did her tasks. Fine, but not an optimal customer experience. .
Another pleasant experience flying Delta! Boarding was easy and efficient. The gate area was clean and uncrowded, and the gate agent was friendly, courteous, and professional. The flight itself went like clockwork. We experienced a slight delay, but that appeared to be related to operations at LaGuardia rather than Delta. Once underway, the flight was smooth, and the landing was gentle and uneventful. The flight attendants were equally courteous, attentive, and professional throughout the journey. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Thank you, Delta, and well done to the entire crew! 🙏🏽💗
Requested an aisle seat at the gate and got it. The staff so friendly
Aircraft without problems that leave on time, not 2 hours late with last minute gate changes across the terminal
The baseline is to have everything happen as expected. That is what happened with the small exception that climate control in the aircraft sss not turned on when boarding started making the aircraft very hot. All in all great experience!
On time, quick boarding, so nice of them to honor active and retired military with early boarding. Attendants were nice . Plane was clean. A bit crowded like all flights.
My bag was open when I got to Portland and all my clothes were wet and my parking pass was wet
It's not United, but TSA security at Terminal A in Newark is a disaster and seriously makes me consider switching to flying out of JFK. The touchless TSA pre-check had a line of over 50 people and the bag screening was so slow that it limited the flow of people through the facial recognition process. It is the only airport that I frequent that has this issue and makes me reconsider whether I should fly out of Newark given the wasted time and frustration it causes. As I said, it is not a United issue but will impact United if people choose to stop utilizing Newark airport because of the poor experience.
The food could be much better. Also very unfortunate that most of business class seats were empty but I could not upgrade.
Requested for warm or hot water because of throat pain, it was denied. The entertainment system was hung, requested the crew to turn it off, instead of turning it off they rebooted the device. It was stuck again, no one bothered to check.
Horrible on the chicago end. They change hates then there is a plane at the new gate so we can’t pull in. Then that plane has mechanical issue and needs to be pulled back to the gate but we can’t get to another new gate due the other plane being in the way. Horrible gate management which will cause many customers to miss connections.
- delayed because video screens not working - delayed getting a gate at DCA Just continued bad experience IAH to DCA.
Bag got checked but I thought one personal item was guaranteed.
I couldn’t give an honest evaluation, because the Houston airport has a problem and I was stand up for several hours and after a long trip from Munich I feel really very tired
A couple flight attendants in business class had bad attitudes and provided poor service. They did provide drinks or refill drinks. They talked to certain passengers for long periods of time and ignored others.
I especially enjoyed having a lightly packed flight which enabled me and my wife to occupy a three seat area with nobody in the middle seat.
My TV didn’t work I couldn’t watch any movies, but I was at least able to share with another passenger.
Crew were helpful, pilot kept us informed about turbulence, snack choice was awesome!
It was one of the worst I have ever had. The plane was over booked, and I did not have a seat. When I questioned why because I had booked this weeks in advance. I was brushed off to be advised they are trying to find someone to give up their seat. Only to be advised I would be boarding last. I had priority boarding in group 1-4. When I asked why I had to be last because that is not what I paid for I was advised it doesn't matter you will get a seat. The ticket person was very rude and unprofessional. The gate changed several times and it was going from one area to another area far away from where we were at. I feel like I should have been compensated in some kind of way because of the way I was treated. The ticket agent acted like it was my fault that the plane was over booked. Not one time was I apologized to for this inconvenience.
We had bad delays and waited for hours on end, we did receive a 12 dollar coupon to use in the airport though. Oh wait, we got that on the plane so we couldn't even use it. I truly never want to fly American ever again.
Over a 4.5 hour delay. Another flight took our plane and crew
No food on 4.5 hour flight, wi-fi did not work. Terrible experience for a long haul flight.
The crew were diligent about ensuring that our pet dog remained in his carrier for the entire flight, as is their mandate. I wish that mandate was changed so that our poor, scared pets can be comforted during a flight, whereas service animals get to stay out and about for the whole flight. Thank you.
first leg from san diego to chicago, only had cookies for snack. 1 flavor of sparkling water chicago to washington dc had option of cookies, pretzels, or gold fish. had 2 flavors of sparkling water. 2nd flight better however the best part was there was no delays!!! Got to chicago and washington dc early. That was wonderful!!!!
Multiple delays and made us miss the connecting flight and lost our bags
Cabin was bone dry, no humidity whatsoever, and pretty warm; and beverage service didn't start for at least an hour. I had to go to the back for water and the FAs tried telling me it was always this way for all Miami flights, which is complete nonsense. Avoid the MAX8 like the plague.
We did not fly on American Airlines from Chicago to London. We were rebooked on British Airways (by American Airlines) and our luggage was left behind. A full day delay and lost luggage.
