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 was our fist time flying Alaska Airlines. Overall it was a great experience. Ticket counter, gate agents and flight attendants were all wonderful. They all seemed happy at what they do and it shows. Of 4 legs, the onboard WiFi was spotty on 1 leg. The food in first class cabin was ok. Couldn’t get the text messaging notifications to work so had to rely on Flight Aware and the Alaska App. Flights were on time and uneventful. We would def fly Alaska Airlines again :)
The WiFi didn't seem as fast as it normally is
Thank you for not flipping the plane on the run way. You guys get a 5 star rating for the flight!!!
The crew was wonderful and attentive. The seats near exit row were restrictive. Offer healthy snacks please
Delta is a premier airline so my expectations are most always met.
Seats are much much more comfortable than United, which is what I usually fly
Zero updates from the pilots for 30 minutes in the tarmac
Boarding is, as it always is… horrible. Gate lice. Slow moving zones. Too many people with carry ons
I loved having a most black flight crew during Black History Month; rather by design or accident I appreciated the representation. ❤️
This was the second flight this week with flight attendant Marcus I’m not sure if his last name is Lane or Lang but this guy is awesome. He funny, attentive and his service is 5 stars. Marcus makes business travel more enjoyable !
Although the flight left late, we arrived early. It was one of the quickest boarding and off boarding experiences I’ve had. It was kind of annoying the only drinks they had were water, coffee, and tea. The flight was very smooth, temperature was just right, and flight attendants were friendly.
