Airline reviews

Alaska has been my favorite airline for years, so this last trip came as a shock and disappointment. The seats on the plane were so uncomfortable and seemingly cheap. The person sitting next to me said the same thing. I used to love the in cabin lighting, the purple was so relaxing, it's now gone. The little touches that made Alaska great are gone. I purchased the wifi and it wasn't working during much of the flight, the flight attendants kept rebooting it. I wouldn't have spent my money that way had I known it would be unusable for 50% of the flight. I am bummed because I always chose Alaska over price shopping. I have an upcoming flight back to DC and decided to go with American Airlines. It was a better price and I don't feel like Alaska gives me anything special.

Had small delay to replace a airplane tire but overall it. Went well.

The plane was delayed almost 3 hours. I had a first class seat and there was no food loaded due to the late night departure (no nuts, not meal and no cookie), and the first class bathroom was out of order. Truly a disappointment all around.

Flight attendant was rude when I advised her that the bathroom had no paper towels or tissue paper.

I do wish the the actual airplane I flew on was bigger. But, I made it work.

The flight itself was okay, but there were 2 screaming kids in front of me my entire flight which made it just awful. The parent did zero to try and make the children settle down and flight attendants did nothing either. I understand it's hard to travel with children, but constantly yelling, screaming, or loud talking for 4 hours straight is just ridiculous.

Everything went smoothly, with the exception of a two-hour delay on the return flight, which wasn't the airline's responsibility.

The ride was smooth as silk, the crew was perf.

Ground crew was great in Austin, flight crew left a lot to be desired. Not particularly friendly, helpful or nice.

The pretzels are awesome. The free movies are excellent. The plane crew was amazing. The Austin airport lounge was too small and overcrowded. There were not enough seats. And the boarding staff was not as friendly.
