I am writing regarding my recent flight from La Paz (LAP) to Los Angeles (LAX). While I understand and respect the importance of airline safety procedures, I left this experience feeling deeply upset by the way I was treated by a member of your staff. At the gate, I was informed that my suitcase contained a charging unit that could not travel in its current form. My husband and I immediately complied with every instruction given to us, including opening the suitcase and removing the charging unit. We were ultimately told that we needed to break apart the charger in order to board the flight, which we did without argument. Afterward, I was directed to another employee. I calmly asked whether it had actually been necessary to break the charging unit in order to board, as I simply wanted to understand the policy. Rather than explaining, she responded aggressively, repeatedly asking, “Do you want to stay? Do you want to stay? Because this flight is leaving.” Following that interaction, I was instructed to reopen my suitcase, remove my shoes, and the employee asked my husband whether I had been drinking. I have been sober for seven years, and being questioned in that manner after simply asking a respectful question was humiliating and incredibly upsetting. I want to be very clear that I am not challenging Alaska Airlines’ safety policies. I fully support them and understand that employees have an important responsibility to keep passengers safe. My concern is solely with the manner in which I was treated. I felt intimidated rather than assisted, and what should have been the joyful end of a trip celebrating my marriage became an experience that left me in tears for much of the beginning of our flight home. I rarely submit complaints and generally try to extend grace to people working in stressful environments. However, this interaction fell far short of the level of professionalism I have come to expect from Alaska Airlines. I respectfully ask that this incident be reviewed with the employees involved so that future passengers are treated with dignity and respect, even during time-sensitive situations. Given the distress this experience caused and the lasting impact it had on what should have been a very special trip, I would also like to respectfully request that Alaska Airlines consider providing a refund or other appropriate goodwill compensation for this flight. While I understand this may not be standard policy, I hope you will take the circumstances into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I look forward to your response.
Alaska airlines has gone from excellent to budget. Food only for purchase. Entertainment only on your devise, no headphones
People were friendly. Flight was a little delayed. Maybe I missed the reason for it. Overall a nice experience.
I'm tall and the seats do not have a headrest so its hard to get comfortable. Staff and checking were all great.
I was surprised by everything. The cleanliness, the punctuality, the friendliness of the crew… and the Wi-Fi! Please keep up the good work.
I hate it when I was forced to check my carry on and there were over 12 spots for bags in the overhead compartments even after everyone was on. So idiotic. It would be so simple for the crew to report lack of space directly instead of an arbitrary number or whatever you smart upper level people make up.
It departed an hour and a half late because the crew got in late the previous night due to weather related problems. So we got into LA later than anticipated and traffic was much worse.
Attentive and kind staff. Decent boarding for wheelchair bound partner, off boarding is a little lengthy due to waiting for everyone to deplane before aisle chair can arrive. Not sure if there’s a better option.
This is the best experience I've had since I started flying with Alaska Airlines; excellent in every way.
Gate personnel and flight crew were both very good. No problems other than the previous flight being late.
I loved the fact it was on time and it was a smooth flight to my destination.
Absolutely terrible, from the customer service to boarding the plane. On the phone, there was some mishaps with getting in my correct date and they did not help me retrieve a refund or any assistance. I’m gonna be reporting to all my followers and family around the region of Los Angeles to New York.
Nothing to like because my inbound flight was cancelled without notification by West Jet or third party, JustFly. I couldn’t take the inbound flight due to cancellation; therefore could not take the outbound flight back.
It took 30 minutes to check in with the Westjet rep. They didn’t have enough seats and she needed to make a call… I am always “randomly” selected to be checked at security. Their “randomly “ selection system may need some updating. They treat people like criminals. It is not appropriate behavior.
Very good over all , would have been nice to have entertainment on the flight
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 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
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.
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.
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 flight was delayed for 4 hours and the airplane was really old cuz not one thing was working.
Staff were amazing but there check in machines need a major update! Absolutely horrible machines the staff were so sweet and helped but everyone. Was in need of help. They need to update it
Seat change. New seat 5 rows back from our group. Flight ok but we had to wait for half an hour after we landed for the gate.
Flight was excellent in all aspects, - comfort , food, drinks, service, entertainment. Inspite of the computer glitch, the flight was on schedule and flawlessly. Thank you, air Canada.
It was fine. Give us free headphones or allow Bluetooth or something, or an app to watch on your phone. Grow up
The crew suki/zuki is very rude. The zoning is only being announce once and there’s no way we will know what is currently allowed to board. I’m zone 5 (currently it was zone 3 but hich I didn’t know coz i went to the restroom). I saw a guy (zone 4) start boarding also. Then my husband (zone 5) started boarding also. But when it’s my turn, he said that i have to wait coz it’s still zone 3 and I questioned him why was my husband allowed when we are both zone 5 and i pointed to him my husband who’s boarding already and he told me to be attentive next time. And i told him he was so rude u like the other lady staff who is nice. The lady is the one who allowed the man (zone 4) and my husband to start boarding. There were 2 lines (the lady and suki)
