This was my first trip in years with Alaska. I don’t think I’ll do it again. The planes are old and tired looking. The seats are small with zero legroom. The JFK terminal is one of the worst I’ve been in. On this flight the pilot had to abort the landing and circle the Bay before trying again. I think I’ll stick with the usual suspects …

Changed flight from San Fran to Seattle Then with a Delayed takeoff barely made my connection Waited over an hour for luggage 😜

Alaska no longer allows customers to print boarding passes at the airport. They only use mobile phones for boarding passes. Try getting on an Alaska plane with a dead phone and no boarding pass! Great customer service Alaska!

Flight was delayed twice, I was forced to check my bag, and the only offered water or apple juice on the flight

Appreciate efficiency and early arrivals. Missed video on such a long flight (DCA to SFO).

I paid $49 to select my seat---6A a window seat just behind first class. When I started to get on the plane I was told that my seat had been given to someone else and I now had a middle seat. They finally gave me an aisle seat. When I told them I wanted my $49 back, I was told I would need to call alaska and fight with them to get my money back. And when i was on the flight people going by kept hitting me with their bags. I have tried calling alaska twice to talk about a refund but never got thru to the right person!

All 4 members of my family found the seats terribly uncomfortable. 2 of us suffered from back issues the next few days.

Delays, delays, delays.... (and) Told no room for carry on after boarding B Group and told to drop off our carry on at door to be checked in instead. There was plenty of room left in the overheads above our seats right up to the end of boarding!!!!

Like I said before the internet was shut off so there was little to do on this leg of the flight.

Nice, competent people and airline. Did the same flight last year and it is a pleasure. Only part of the experience that could be improved is the JFK terminal. Hopefully that one is part of the renovation.
