This leg was better than the previous leg mostly because I upgraded my searing and the crew was nicer

I like that we took off on time and arrived a bit early. I like that I could gate check my bag and board early. I don't like how crowded the flight was. I had ok leg room, but could feel every move of the person next to me. And the aisles are very narrow. The gate and flight crews were terrific.

The flight was diverted and departed from San Jose instead of San Francisco. This could’ve been executed more smoothly because after arriving in San Jose it seemed like nothing was being processed correctly as needed for the gate agents to do their jobs well and the flight to leave on time

Excellent service and prices. I was not award of inflight entertainment.

Both flights from NYC to SFO were delayed more than an hour. No wifi, no screens/movies etc. The crew was nice.

They gave me a seat with extra leg room. But they didn't offer me anything to drink, just because it was an hour flight

flight delayed 2ish hours; status updates easily could have been conveyed in a more timely manner

Temperature was very cold. seat was uncomfortable bc headrest did not work properly - the earflaps would not move.

Alaska airlines is the best. Best customer service, crew, and value for money.

Alaska airlines was good! Friendly staff, good communication and respectful. The alaska airlines help in everyway they can
