Find Deals on Flights from Washington Reagan-National to Los Angeles (DCA - LAX)

The plane left on time and arrived on time. I got TSA pre check. My luggage didn't get lost. The interior of the plane was in good shape with a power outlet at my seat and the entertainment system worked with a broad selection of movies.

The $90 upgrade fee for Main Cabin Select was too high (I paid it anyway) and didn't include much. The fee for "classic" movies was too high at almost $5 and was charged per movie instead of per flight. The choice of free entertainment was almost non-existent. The seats are too narrow and there are too many people crammed on the flight.

I thought I was booking an Alaska Airlines flight. I booked on Alaska Airlines website. I picked seats. I missed the part in the email I received later saying I didn't have seats. I never received a check in notification email. It took forever to check in at the airport because the the kiosk took a while to pull up my reservation after asking for additional information. I got stuck with middle seats on 5 hour plus flights when I had actually checked to confirm I could still select a window seat before I booked and did indeed select window seats when I booked.

I liked the overall experience of flying with Alaska Airlines, flight attendants and crew were very friendly.

Food and entertainment was not very good.

Dog w no enclosure allowed on the plane and AC blowing like no tomorrow. Mind you it is end of Jan and the flight is from Washington DC to Los Angeles.
