Needed more leg room. Leg rest and entertainment system box took up a lot of space and I'm not tall. Breakfast was good. Poor quality of the entertainment options.
Time to upgrade those planes so you can provide first class.
My experience with Underpricer was not great. The representative assigned to me did not tell me beforehand that selecting seats, which i could not do through ANZ, WOULD ADD SIGNIFICANT cost to my ticket (all flight segments were reg economy seats. The seat selections for the ticket, MCI-AKL, AKL-PER, PER-MCI, cost $284 USD. I WAS NOT TOLD AHEAD OF SELECTING SEATS chosen by the rep OF THE COSTS and never received an itemized invoice of the seat selections.). The costs of seat selection, an option solicited as a service, with no mention of costs, should have been disclosed to me prior to seat selection and certaily should have been itemized. For all I know, the $284 was not referred from the airline but made up and taken directly by Underpricer. Next, when i checked in, united couldnt find my ticket. This is probably why i didnt get a seat selection on that flight and couldnt check in online, despite Underpricer prompts to do so a week before departure, or at the kiosk at the airport. I had to wait for special help at the counter, then was told that because the flight segment, MCI-IAH, operated by United Airlines via the ANZ. ticket, had changed schedule slightly since I BOOKED MY FLIGHT, the MCI-IAH segment had been decoupled from the rest of the ticket because the IAH layover was now 12.5 hrs AND DID NOT QUALIFY AS A THROUGH FLIGHT TO AKL.. This meant my checked bag could not be checked through to AKL and id have to pick it up at IAH, THEN WAIT MOST OF the long layover WITH the large checked bag until ANZ counter in IAH OPENED for checkING just prior to the flight. Apparently, although underpricer had notified me of schedule changes, they did not update the ANZ TICKET, leading to this problem. Finallly, although I RECHECKED TH BAG IN At IAH 3.5-4 hours before the scheduled departure and the IAH-AKL segment was a direct flight, ANZ LOST MY bag and it took 4 days to find it and get it to me. Not fun.
The flight was smooth and on time. Entertainment options were lacking and there was no food, other than some very boring snacks.
A better selection of entertainment would have been nice. I found nothing that appealed to me as a middle-aged traveler. The flight attendants were gracious, helpful, and attentive. It also would have been nice to have more bathrooms as the flight was full and the plane was big.
Great service. Food could be improved but overall a very good airline
This flight was the second leg of a trip that began in Auckland, New Zealand. I was unable to find a way to select seats in advance. The boarding passes we were given in Auckland did not have seat assignments for the second flight. There was no way to check on it until personnel showed up at the gate in Los Angeles, immediately before boarding time. The flight was overbooked by one, and since I was traveling with my sister, we needed two seats. We waited in considerable anxiety for everyone else to board and when one person did not show up, we had to take whatever was left. At least we finally got on the flight although we were the very last to board. We were not able to sit together, of course.
The seats are feeling very hard to sit on. All the padding is flat, like sitting on a park bench for over an hour
Nothing better than Air New Zealand. Top scores in every category.
We had difficulty checking in as United didn’t recognize the confirmation number and the agent was not helpful. We went to the United Assistance desk where the agent was able to process our reservation. We also weren’t allowed to choose seats in advance.
Tucson AS767 flight yesterday from Tucson to SeaTac international Flight left Tucson around 7:44 am My name is Tanya Blendheim and I had a horrible experience yesterday morning at Alaska Airlines desk leaving from Tucson AZ. The agent was extremely rude and questioned everything about my trip. First she said (in a less than pleasant tone) you know your flight boards in 8 minutes? And we stop checking luggage 15 minutes before boarding. I acknowledged the first statement, but said that I didn't know about the check bag policy. (Another passenger, a man, was right behind me and he was denied checking his bag, which made him have to go back to his car to leave liquids behind) I also needed wheelchair assistance for my friend. I ended getting the wheelchair myself. The agent also said I wasn't checked in, which I was. One person in our group was no longer flying. She also said I had to pay $40 to check my bag and that my bag was 6 pounds over. The thing is, everything she said to me was said in a sassy tone and that was not professional or necessary. There are ways of informing customers of what is happening, without being condescending or rude.
very nice blankets and comfortable seats. great service. Great flights.
great experience just at the end, we got in early and there wasn't anyone at the gate for 30 min so we had to just sit on the tarmac
onboard snack was pretzels, but the FA was super nice when my neighbor asked for cookies instead and also brought some for me. :)
I’m biased. I work at the airport and within these systems so I know how to be effective. On top of that part though everyone was friendly and helpful. Both legs of my trip were on time. My baggage was handled with care. Alaska’s part of my experience was top notch.
On time. .breakfast was especially good. First class service was special
See what I wrote in the previous section. This was a terrible experience. I would like refund.. I even paid an extra $70 for an aisle seat closer to the front to ensure that I got off early enough to catch the next flight. The fact that the plane did not wait, and even left eearlier, knowing that the first flight came in late, and was moved to a terminal three train stops away is appalling. My friend that flew JetBlue, their flight was delayed and came in later and the connecting flight WAITED for them. How is it that JetBlue could do that, and Alaska could not.
Hello, Our flight arrived late, and the flight we were to connect to the departure time was moved up. At first our flight was scheduled to arrive at 10:40, but it arrived at 10:56. Our connecting flight was scheduled to leave at 11:25, and it was moved to 11:20. Also the terminal was moved from N to S. N would have been in the same terminal as the one we arrived in-- to get to S we had to take 3 trains to get to. And when we arrived at the gate, around 11:15, they said the gate was closed and would not open it. We had come from a funeral in Boston, and the person that helped us get new tickets said, "did you come from a girsl trip?" No, we did not. We were coming from a funeral. This experience was not what we expected/wanted. My friend, because she had to run to S, got a migraine and turned pale. In addition, I paid an extra $70 for an aisle seat that was more upfront, to make sure I can get off the plane faster and make the connecting flight. The fact that the plane not only did not wait, but left earlier, is absolutely unacceptable. This was a terrible experience, and I hope that I can be refunded for this horrible experience.
Had to buy a snack box as I am gluten free. They should be free in extra comfort. Food they provided was awful. Not enough water stops.
A gentleman at the desk for my boarding from Seattle to Anchorage randomly selected me and told me they would need to check my carry-on despite having multiple lithium-ion batteries all of which were in communication devices essential for time in Alaska. There was ample overhead compartment space and I was lucky non of my equipment was damaged due to his unnecessary use of power. A quick check with the flight crew would have likely resulted in an answer that ample space remained allowing me to keep my personal and important items near by. I did lose WiFi twice and that detracted from my entertainment which I do not commonly use.
Really hard landing... as in slammed into the runway then hit the brakes really hard ...
Putting people that close to the bathroom, where you have to look into the bathroom as people are exiting and entering was not great and the smell was also not great. I know the airlines are desperate for more chairs, but that seat is a crime.
Every staff member was professional, friendly and courteous. The pizza twist was ok. It was warm but too much dough.
one staffer was frustrated (it happen); the flight was late and the pilot mentioned they'll make amend but the snacks were the same, other than that the aircraft was clean and everything went smooth, no complaints
Wonderful in-seat entertainment with seatback screens and huge selection of quality movies. The ability to bluetooth connect headphones was amazing.
No seat back entertainment. And app had a hard time getting entertainment loaded.
ticket agent lady wás very helpful , she arranged wheel chair for my elderly mother
Flight left on time and we arrived 25 minutes early! There was a gate available when we arrived so early on a busy Sunday afternoon! Flight attendants came around twice with the drinks cart.
Both of my flights arrived early and check in process was smooth
Sitting on the runway after we land for almost two hours! Not sure if we should blame United or Just Dumpy Vance.
As we approached Denver, we encountered quite a bit of turbulence. I know this can sometimes be the case as I frequently fly this route but not on American. My gripe: Usually a pilot or co-pilot alerts passengers to the possibility of turbulance ahead of time. This did not occur nor did he communiucate during what was a pretty rough ride.
The staff was nice. I appreciated that I was able to take an earlier flight, even though it was last minute. The boarding process felt rather chaotic.
Overall a good experience, however Wifi was not working on the flight.
For a 4 1/2 hour international flight all we got was 1 small pack of cookies and a drink. You had to watch movies on your own devise.
Airlines should be prohibited from using the seats they get away with.
My flight got delayed a total of five times. And the boarding gate changed four times. most of the time the platform was not up-to-date with the changes taking place. The most discouraging part of the entire trip by far.
Flight left early and arrived 30 MINUTES early at the destination. Smooth trip.
American delayed the flight for a crew rest period. The delay occurred late in the evening - the earliest i can find is 10:20 pm. With a 6 am flight anyone on the flight would have already have been asleep (unless you are insane, a vampire or on drugs) and at least for me i was already on the way to the airport at 445 am the next morning when i discovered they delayed the flight until 9 am. Given the incoming flight was in the air at 6 pm the evening before this should have been figured out a lot more timely that was there only crew to use. Just frustrating given there is no consideration for customer experience anymore in flying.
Returned home with a blood clot from flight homes and the uncomfortable aircraft I was on.
Original flight was on time, then late, then changed gates...4 times. Once our newest plane came in, it was fine.
