I am able to drop my bags off up to 4 hours prior to flight. This is a nice feature when I have an appointment that could run over a bit and timing could become an issue. I like to drop my bags off, then go to my appointments and not worry about getting to the airport within that perfect hour mark. The airport security line isn’t a time consuming process, so this alleviates worrying about getting to the airport to drop off rental and drop bags off prior to the hour mark. It gives a bit of flexibility and makes for a stress free travel day.

If you’re flying First Class from Honolulu to Seattle (especially on Alaska), you can access the Hawaiian Airlines Plumeria Lounge before your flight.

Seattle is not an easy airport to navigate. Going from RDM TO SEA is not a time saver. SEA Gates are far apart, it's crowded & not attractive. Flying into it is beautiful though. My advice - allow sufficient time (min 1 hour) for connecting flights. Love SFO for a layover if possible & flying out of LAX if international. Tucson airport was adorable & easy. Loved the artwork. PDX is a better alternative to SEA if possible; it has class.

The delays we experienced on both flights to and from were cancelled or delayed which made for a very stressful trip. I would suggest monitoring the flight status continuously before arriving at the airport.

They HOT tag your luggage if you have a connecting flight with a short layover, so any time you need to connect from Seattle on a subsequent flight just check to make sure your luggage is handled that way. While I was on board looking out the window, I saw my suitcase being loaded last - LIFO planning so that it would be unloaded first for my connection. Smooth sailing after that…. Great service!

Flying Alaska Airlines from Boston to Seattle was an example of getting exactly what you expect. A no-frills basic experience, but one where the important things were accomplished, timely departure, on-time arrival, no drama, no glitches, completely as anticipated. I paid a little extra for one offered perk (seat selection), and I'm glad I did because my early morning flight was full. Next time, I'll likely pre-order a snack, since they looked good, were served promptly, and are priced right.

Dulles, like Seattle has a tram. That can be surprising. The TSA at Seattle is notoriously LONG, however, both times in the last year that I have flown, that has not been the case. At Dulles, the TSA lines were efficient as well. The airport interior is well marked for getting around. I did note that the garbages were full in the Southwest and Alaska areas- as we were there 6 hours and had lots of time to notice nit-picky things that nobody else would care about :). It was convenient to have a "charging station" nearby the Alaska waiting area (right across from our gate). It had 3 ports, and I noticed that as soon as I unplugged mine, it was jumped right on. Suggestion- have Dulles add a few more for passengers who need to recharge phones. Great experience, thank you.

KatieFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2024

Alaska Airlines offered free checked bag and personal bag with ticket price which I found to be very reasonable. Of the other airlines I found Alaska Airlines to be most comfortable, have friendly and efficient staff and reasonable pricing. Newark airport is rather easy to navigate given its size. We found Seattle airport to be a bit difficult to navigate, especially when returning a rental. Customers in this instance should allow extra time for the car return, bus to the terminal and navigating through the airport which included several monorails to get to our boarding terminal and through security to the gate. Signage for security was confusing we needed to ask for direction and restaurants were limited and short staffed once through security. As long as you allow for extra time, we found it to be relatively painless.
