Did not travel - unexpected medical emergency. Nonrefundable tickets, but Alaska Air sent credit vouchers for the entire amount (very generous, and I didn't expect that). However, I paid for insurance with Kayak's partner company. The 'insurance' might pay for lost baggage, but they referred to the contract in refusing to a dime on the policy. (If you died from a heart attack in the waiting area, I suspect they would claim the right to DENY if your general practitioner had found high blood pressure previously and prescribed daily HTCZ pills - even tiny ones.) They described a policy to deny any claim with even the slightest whiff of pre-existing. I suspect that they probably almost NEVER pay money out on a medical claim, and that their 'local medical assistance' has no coverage either - that it's just an abusive profit center sending gigantic bills while contributing nothing from your 'policy coverage'.
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.
I wouldn’t fly with Alaska again if you paid me.
The flight was delayed for an hour, while we sat in the plane.
The would have rated higher, but I asked for a cup of coffee twice and never got one. Later found the crew sitting in the back having a meal and visiting. Just saying.
The flight was delayed almost an hour causing many passengers to be at jeopardy of missing their connecting flights. There was no help in providing passengers help with connections or allowing passengers with connecting flights to exit the plane in an expediated manner.
Paid for first class received 3rd class treatment. No WI Fi, no in flight entertainment, noin flight beverage service. Had to go OUTSIDE in rain to board aircraft using a stairway
Extremely poor, 1st time this has happened though. Traveling during the holidays, didn’t receive an update that our flight was delayed 3hrs. Lost our place in Airport Spot Saver to go through crazy long line at TSA, gate change and then another hour delay (makes it 4hr delay for a 2 hr flight to Las Vegas), stayed on tarmac for almost 25mins after landing. So 6.5hrs from Seattle to LAs Vegas. Could have went to Cancun instead.
The ground crew were helpful, although it was unclear when the ETA would be so we had to wait for quite some time before being notified of when we will board. Our seats were also changed, and there were also duplicated seat numbers which cost an issue when we boarded. When this issue came up, the flight crew was even Snarky towards us that we did not check our seat number when it was already reassigned. There were no apologies from the flight crew at all, and it was very disappointing.
Check in Agent at SFO was indifferent, didn’t say hello , didn’t place priority Tag . We were Travelling First Class. No foodas it’s a short flight. Still you could have offered some thing better than Biscuits/ Popcorn. They announced that luggage will arrive in 20 minutes after we reach the gate. First Piece came 35 + Minutes after I walked out of the Plane
This had nothing to do with Delta… The flights were on time and flawless. The service was excellent. We purchased seats in (aisle/middle) comfort plus since this was a cross country flight. Unfortunately, the woman seated at the window was 300+ pounds and, as might be expected, covered up about a third of the middle seat also. there was absolutely nothing that Delta could have done about that… I just don’t know what the answer should be. If you purchase a seat, you should should be able to use the entire seat and not just the portion that someone else is not sitting/oozing in. Disappointing…there should be something that could be done….I'm just not sure what solution could be.
Delayed take-off. Very small plane so very scary with lots of bumps during the flight. Would never fly Delta on short flights in small 80 seaters plane again! Felt relieved when landed.
The worst part was I was NOT allowed in the lounge even though I was holding a first class ticket and have a premium American Express card. I have flown Business or First Class with many airlines. Delta is the ONLY one who does not extend this courtesy to anyone except people who hold the very expensive American Express card. As a result, I won’t fly Delta if I have any other choice.
A little bumpy ride . No food was being provided due the the turbulence. That was ok it was a short flight to my standards.
Simply outstanding. Their new lounge for Delta One customers is a cut above the rest.
The Dekta Rep that checked us in was great. She's very personable, pleasant, and can tell she enjoys her job.
The plane was old with small storage areas that had problems closing/latching and not enough storage for everyone, and worn, damaged seats. Service was great but feel a little unsafe on such well used planes.
Terrible and im avoiding them in the future. My initial flight was delayed causing me to rebook my flight and when speaking with the representative to rebook I explained this is the second time my flights were delayed and they did nothing to help me. I wasn't booked to comfort plus or given a voucher or anything. I was almost late for my meeting that I needed to attend on Monday because of the games delta played delaying my flights even more and putting me in the very back of the plane next to an extremely intoxicated passenger
Flights on time. .Ride was as comfortable as can be expected in steerage. Luggage arrived at destination. Attendants were fairly friendly.
Great staff. Wifi is terrible. Signing up for skylines is a painstaking process. Had to call customer service just to get my flight itinerary and confirmation sent to me. Consistent delays. A well staffed company that is run so poorly. Upper management needs to be renewed.
