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.

There was an issue with water that led to us not having potable water onboard. They dumped the onboard water and we were two hours late taking off.
All good. Great food and entertainment when there isn’t any on a one hour flight
Boarding for Alaska Airlines is always chaotic with many people crowding the gates. Arriving in on Alaska in Los Angeles is always interesting since there is never a gate available. So the planes are often parked all the way out on the west side of the airport while waiting for the gate to be cleared of the departing plane. This flight was no exception.
Flight was delayed about 45 min and they never offered an explanation. Peruse, staff were friendly and competent and the flight was safe.
It was a really smooth flight. I hate heights. All made it feel smooth. Thankyou
No TSA pre check on boarding passes. Was told known traveler numbers are only kept with Alaska Airlines mileage plan members. Did not notice until reached the head of line, and then was sent back through the line to general boarding which took almost an hour. Learned two things: check our boarding passes, which we haven’t had to do with our other airlines, and don’t fly Alaska! You used to be much better!
I wouldn’t fly with Alaska again if you paid me.
I’m still waiting on my luggage. They canceled my flight on valentines day and my girlfriend broke up with me. Alaska airlines literally ruined my life.
Flight was delayed twice, I was forced to check my bag, and the only offered water or apple juice on the flight
Everything was on time, we arrived early, everything worked well.
Angela was the best fa ever. She made that 8 hour flight a breeze
This was a pleasant, short flight and the crew was friendly.
The service and food needs to improve to catch up with other international flights
Small plane, so no entertainment. Hour delay! Nobody explained wht the delay was all about.
Same problems with delays in Dallas. This was weather related and due to the incoming flight being delayed. This was the flight that was delayed due to a missing flashlight which turned out not to be missing.
We boarded after several delays due to mechanical failure and a gate change. The seat cushion in the exit row was very compressed and offered no cushion, making the four-hour journey reasonably uncomfortable. The WiFi worked for a few people, but for most, it did not, and you cannot get entertainment unless you can connect—American Airlines flights do not have seatback screens, and you must use your mobile phone.
Only thing that I liked it that I got to my destination safely, otherwise American Airlines stinks.
Improvements in communication and empathy are absolutely necessary for American Airlines staff (top down). It’s like they are numb to the needs of their customers.
Good communication at the gate and very nice crew in the flight
