My boarding passes were pulled from my Apple wallet and my 3 family members who were all sitting together in the same row all got put middle seats and were one of the last to board and barely were able to get our bags in the luggage bins.

My boarding passes were pulled from my Apple wallet and my 3 family members who were all sitting together in the same row all got put middle seats and were one of the last to board and barely were able to get our bags in the luggage bins.

I paid for the WiFi and it didn’t work during the whole flight

I paid for wifi and it never worked... it was miserable. I couldn't access my shared files to work on the plane, it didn't work on my phone. I paid for nothing but frustration and continual refreshing, hoping it would work

The flight was excellent and very friendly and helpful staff. Will travel again and recommend to friends. Thank you

They canceled my flight with only a couple hours before checking in at the airport and offered no alternatives to get home.

Food and entertainment not applicable - standard drinks and cinnamon cookies; crew did not do a song and dance for us so no entertainment. I like the slightly better leg room than American Airlines - at least it felt that way. Flight crew and atmosphere seemed more welcoming than American, too.

Alaska Airlines adds time to flight time to make up for late departures. Also Alaska Airlines destroyed my suitcase and I had to buy another suitcase for return flight. Very frustrating and not sure I would fly Alaska Airlines again.

At the Portland airport, Alaska Airlines has put in a system where you have to create your own bag tag, then put your own suitcase onto a scale to weigh it. The day we were there, the system was not working properly, and we kept on being told to go onto different lines so it took us approximately 45 minutes to check our bag in. I do not work for the airlines why am I subjected to doing this? How all these companies are shifting their work onto people who have paid good money for their products is crazy. And then the system that the customers are supposed to use don't work properly..

The staff from check-in counter to the flight crew were great. Flight was right on schedule. 10/10

I’m New to Alaska Airlines. I was not able to connect to WiFi on either leg of my flights to/from Santa Rosa. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable ride.

Destroyed my suitcase. Tired of talking about it. Cancelling my unite mileage plus account.

The crew was great. Very friendly and responsive. The plane was old, small and tight. We ran out of overhead space and I had to check. Middle seat was particularly tight.

Flight delayed for more than 16 hrs and no effort was spent to provide an alternate

The food quality sucks. One must starve if they do not eat flesh Or wheat based products Some variety would be expected. The trivial amount of snacks and or food is inhumane

Airbus plane, nice and polite staff, entertainment even as it was a short flight.

Marked by flight delays on all segments of the trip. Food in first class cabin was mediocre and overhead cabin storage was not adequate. Overall, the premium charge for first class cabin was poor and over hyped. This will be our last flight with UA.

the plane was old. the wifi didn’t work. the entertainment was boring and dated. the charging ports were impossible to find. i was mostly ignored by flight attendants that had no problem speaking to the man beside me. i got two drinks the entire time i was on the plane.

All went fine. Boarding was efficient, staff was really friendly, and we were kept up to date on any changes to our itinerary. My only note for improvement is that on this particular plane, the recline in economy class was negligible. I know it's a coach seat, but I had another UA flight (SFO to BWI) and the seat was more comfortable with better recline.

Couldn’t get the tv screen to work, didn’t try food, so no comment

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.

I loved the fact it was on time and it was a smooth flight to my destination.

Service was okay except attendant over served alcohol to passenger and passenger got tipsy and made me uncomfortable

Absolutely the worst airline I have ever taken. They lost my baggage and told me my bag tags had been cancelled. When my bags arrived days later I had to pick them up at 3:15 am. My return flight was delayed another 6 hours and they broke my bag. Westjet does nothing to try and make it a better customer experience and all the customers services representatives I spoke with were useless and incompetent. Never flying westjet again.

It was so bad experience they wanted just charged passengers for any reason.

Flight left on time. In flight entertainment options were good, but needed own device. Crew were polite.

I always worry about flying budget airlines but I was impressed by Westjet. The checkin agent was terrific. Seated my husband & me together w/o us asking. TSA checkin was smooth & easy. Plane was clean & comfortable. Drink & snack was unexpected. I will fly with them again.

Flight was canceled last minute and no re-booking was offered. Had to buy a same day flight from another carrier at double the price. I’ll never fly WestJet again.

The flight was delayed and I missed boarding my 7 day cruise. I had to book a separate flight home

It could have snacks to purchase as what was stated in the card with flights over 1.5 hours

Flying with WestJet consistently feels like being squeezed into a small tin can, and I still haven’t gotten over the feeling that it sucks. The staff clearly is just doing a job that they do not really want to do. And the more I fly with WestJet, the more I realize that the good deal I got on the flight is not worth the experience. I can say I got from point A to point B safely.. but the time I was on the plane was so lacking in comfort and positivity, that I couldn’t keep doing this too much longer. I want to break up with WestJet. It really is you WestJet.. this just isn’t working out.

Crew at gate and onboard were just very OK, not very friendly and honestly seemed bothered to be there. I will give a shout out to still selling headphones for those who forgot.

The plane was delayed an hour. Heard from other passengers that the Vancouver connection to SFO was never on-time.

I knew I was going to fall asleep unsettlingly from exhaustion so I warned the guy next to me in advance. The attendant took to checking on me frequently and even insisted I take my snack because I said no while sleep hazed and then absolutely wanted it about 5 minutes later. He was So caring and kind to my situation!!

I paid for comfort plus seats but did not get the extra leg room. When I told the stewardess, she just ignored me.

Good flight, friendly crew and overall - good service on United Airlines.

Your crew was so so so wonderful Only thing sound be great if you kept some phone chargers and converters rest 👌👌👌👌

Delayed 3 hours. Gave us a food voucher for CA$15, to places that were already closed or not serving food. New plane did not have entertainment options. When disembarking, they had closed the direct route to baggage claim, rerouting us through another terminal 0.5miles away. Overall, a terrible experience.

The speakers were way too loud. Music was played during boarding too. This noise could've been avoided.

The flight was delayed for 4 hours and the airplane was really old cuz not one thing was working.

Nice crew - very small plane and uncomfortable, with no entertainment options…
