Window seat and a packed plane. A very uncomfortable flight.

Read more about Alaska Airlines

Window seat and a packed plane. A very uncomfortable flight.

The person sitting next to me did not fit in one seat, so I effectively only had half a seat to myself. Airlines should come up with a strategy to sit oversized people in a way whereby they are comfortable but don't disrupt or take over other people's seats. It's unfair.

My flights went about as good as they could be. I’ll always take Alaska when possible.

Horrible, missed my connecting flight because Alaska did not give me enough time

This was a quick flight so more like a shuttle and everything went well. There was no food or beverage.

In spite of interacting with multiple employees at check-in, I was not told that my gate was only accessible by shuttle bus. I missed my flight as a result.

The checked baggage fee was too expensive. Will go back to flying Southwest. The crew were nice and the flight was fine.

They delayed the flight 30 minutes. There was an open gate right next to our gate that could have been used without delay. Boarding is a pain. You should be better and faster with no reason to wait in the sky Bridge at entry.

Packed flight. Excellent crew. Served snacks twice all very efficient and polite. Even the lady that checked in our bags was so friendly and pleasant

The flight was so empty that some us up forward (in upgraded seats) had to be moved to the back of the plane. The crews handled this situation as well as could be, and I got a row to myself (but it was at the very back of the plane).

I finished with my medical appointment early on Oahu and the Hawaiian airlines staff helped me get an earlier flight back to the big island. It was a great experience. There was no food or entertainment that is why I gave it a good

Unable to check in on line both directions. After standing in line to check in at the Honolulu airport we were told that we needed an ag inspection first so ended up having to stand in line twice. Fortunately we always arrive early. Process could be more clearly marked

Nice. The chairs were a little uncomfortable. And the sound from the earbuds I purchased on the airplane didn’t work very well. Other than that it was a great flight… oh and the snack could have been better… a bag of peanuts would have been better.

Staff was amazing during flight. Overall the actual flight was pretty good! But a couple not so great things: I couldn’t get the entrainment to work on my devices. We showed up over an hour before departure and the lady at the gate told us the flight was boarding, and “good luck” making the flight bc it was the last gate in the terminal… everyone was running frantically trying to make the flight. Also, bag didn’t make it to Lihue. It was delivered the next day. Which was a major bummer, had baby formula, diapers, and a lot of important stuff that can’t be purchased it Lihue. I get it happens but it’s still a huge inconvenience… lady at the counter couldn’t have cared less, offered no apology.

Everything was great! And we truly mean it. We’ve had some mediocre flying experiences lately on Delta and Alaska. But this flight was excellent — kind staff, new plane, great entertainment system, clean/comfy seats, and the breakfast sandwich was actually awesome! 👏🏻

The flight was too short for food or entertainment which was no problem. You should have a Not Applicable item on this list.

Quick. Which is good. What could be better is size of 💺 seat.

They had me wait after everyone has boarded to assign a seat for me. WHY?! After about 10 min, they assigned me the last seat in the flight, all the way at end , 46 E or something like that. The food came ONCE, and after, we got some snacks during 12 hours flight. My tv had very poor volume and I was not able to see a movie properly. The staff was super grumpy and stiff and absolutely not welcoming, acting like they are doing US a favor to be there during the flight. Extremely disappointed. I have a flight on 02/22. I’m not looking forward 😩

They did not let me check in . Said I was 4 mins late.

I traveled first class for the first time. The flight from Portland to Honolulu was wonderful. First class was roomy. The seats folded down into a bed. The meal and service were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hop from Honolulu to Lihue hadn't much difference between 1st class and coach. But the flight was brief. My departing flight from Lihue to Honolulu was cancelled at the last minute. In order to get home the same day, though about 3 hours later. I was rerouted to Maui and then to Portland. Those flights had no first class seats available, but my only alternative was to stay in Lihue for another day. I was told I would be refunded for that portion of the trip. I was disappointed, but I noticed the 1st class accommodations on the flight from Maui to Portland were not even close to the special experience I had coming from Portland to Lihue. I am curious now about how to select flights that have top notch 1st class accommodations. Can you help?

Flight was on time. Staff were friendly. I paid for Economy Plus but was required to check my standard carry-on luggage due to lack of space on the aircraft. This cost me 30 minutes, unexpectedly, in waiting at the baggage claim. This experience did not meet my expectations.

Wouldn’t let me check in said couldn’t find a ticket had to wait very long Time

The seats were uncomfortable. The flight was almost 9 hours and they didn’t serve lunch

I liked that we arrived earlier, you could improve your snacks give away

Everything was good, hard to really comfortable on a flight that long.

I got upgraded, so comfort was not an issue. But as always, it is the people from baggage handlers, flight attendants, pilots etc. that make the difference.

Horrible. Delayed on both planes several times. No attempt to fix it

The crew were great. The boarding process was unclear where to line up. Plane was very old. Flew on a new plane flying from LA to Houston. Business class was great. Plane from Houston to Merida was very old. The plane from LA to Houston made me think I should fly United more. The plane from Houston to Merida made me think I should stick with Aero Mexico and Volaris.

The seats seem to be a little cramped, and there really is no entertainment unless you use your own device, which I'm not able to do. The flight from LAX to Palm Springs - passengers put small items in the overhead bins, like small backpacks, jackets, purses. When I boarded, the bin over my seat was full and I had to search to find a bin for my roller bag. I noticed hardly anyone had an item stowed under their seat. There should be more guidelines for people to follow.
