Good experience, first time flying Alaska Air. Slight delay boarding, but still arrived on time. Excellent leg room! Very friendly flight attendants.
We did have to wait an hour for the runway to be cleared but other than that it was fine.
Alaska Airlines was hit with a bad IT outage. I think its a one off and dont want to give a bad feedback to them because of that. In addition, to all the delays our particular flight had a health incident and had to stop midway. Again no negative feedback because of that. However the way they dealt with the delay was not genuine. First the communication was not consistent and always kept changing. I lost a day and $647, completely because of them. They promised a refund which i have complaints about. First it was never given to me. They aksed me to call them or text them and the wait time was 1.56 hour for calls and 3:50 hours for texts. Finally when they texted back, the support executive was rude and asked me to get my refund from Delta the other airline that i booked my ticket because Alaska cancelled their flight. When I asked why Delta would pay me for Alaska’s delay she just ended the chat. To get back on the chat I had to wait for 3.5 hours. I could not. Second they announced that even if they pay us, they would not refund us cash but were giving us a discount on future travel. I vowed never to go back to Alaska so, i do not want the discount refund. Overall, I am terribly unhappy with Alaska Airlines and never going back.
On time would have been a hell of a lot better!!
Terrible customer service, closed check in hours before flight left, provided incorrect information
Could have service kiosks, had to find a gate with an attendant
It sucks, flight delays at FAT caused us to miss a day at lodge and overnight in Seattle. Flight delays coming home also. Never again
The plane was late taking off. We sat on the plane at least 45-60 minutes before moving away from the gate. Im 5’9” and 185lbs and there is no room in those seats. On top of that you shoehorn a waterbuffalo of a woman in the middle seat to where her sweaty rolls and arms were well into my seat and touching me the whole time. It was either that or press against the opposite arm rest and get hit by the beverage cart and every single person who walked by.
PAID First class. No use of lounge in Phoenix (should have a code share). Bags checked and not marked first class, asked attendant who stated on mark gold members. Last bag out of carousel. When you pay extra, expect that...wifi was rebooted and not functioning to allow internet access. Food and cree were very good.
Very Large person sitting next to me and taking up a lot of space including mine
It was all good flight was on time, service was good I enjoyed a few movies and everything was smooth
Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.
Airbus plane, nice and polite staff, entertainment even as it was a short flight.
Very nice and clean plane. Transit time between flights was tight though
Our flights got changed from United to Air Canada and our purchased seats did not get transferred so we had to pay for seats twice. I brought it up with Air Canada and they stated I had to go back and chase it with United. The united seats were $21 Canadian each and Air Canada were $56 each so we have paid $77 for each seat. Very unhappy
So far so good but food and entertainment are not available for this flight
Plane temperature was comfortable (not to hot) when boarding and waiting for takeoff.
Michael, our FA was very attentive, even finding me a chocolate brownie from economy class when the dessert selections were all dairy based. ( intolerant, not allergic so don’t usually need to order dairy free)
We tried to upgrade to economy premium but were told this was not possible as we had booked through United Airlines (and Air Canada was operating the flight). This seemed silly given there was ample space in economy premium. Additionally, we had to wait almost 1.5 hours upon arrival to taxi to the gate. Otherwise, the crew were very pleasant and passengers were friendly.
It was my first time with United Airlines and I would say it was very good experience and best of all the flights were on time. Will definitely fly with United Airlines next time.
