Fine, but how to board on SW versus othrr airlines, is just lame. Goood staff though and all was solid otherwise.

Was as expected. Crowed planes. Too many carryons delaying takeoff. But the ride only took an hour and saved me a lot of time SFO is a not a great airport.

Was as expected. Crowed planes. Too many carryons delaying takeoff. But the ride only took an hour and saved me a lot of time SFO is a hell hole of an airport. It is the new LaGuardia. Everything Cobbled together. Security gates closed. Terri directional signage

I will be flying again Southwest Airlines. Friendly crew, comfortable and affordable.

The plane arrived 25 minutes late, and the Wi-Fi was slower than it usually is.

Forget beverage, they didn't even have water for half the passangers?

Can not wait for seating change to reduce the amount of pre boards - it’s disheartening the abuse. And then then deplaning

The crew was nice. Boarding sucked. Instead of loading from the back to the front people just sat wherever and you had to wait for them to move to get to a seat. And the flight was 25 minutes delayed.

I boarded last because of my boarding assignment and was given a middle seat at the back of the plane. I’m 6”1” so it was really tight. I wish I just had a seat assignment instead of a general boarding group. My bag was way at the front and my seat at the back. Was never offered a beverage and had no room to move.

The open seating makes passengers boarding ahead of you think they also have the right to the empty middle seat. Trumper next to me refused to move her laptop bag from my leg area. I did not make a fuss since it was a short flight.

It went very quickly even though we were late in leaving Fresno.

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

Finally get a snack n drinks! Just like the good ole days!

SeaTac was a mess first class check-in not clearly identified Temporary signage needed since only one door into Alaska check-in area directed you to coach baggage check.

We could not find a parking spot in the garage so we left airport to find a parking lot. We were late and afraid we would miss our flight. We were greeted at the new Alaska check in and I was really upset. She got two people to put us in wheelchairs and we flew through the airport and security. Then all the way to the N gate and on to the plane. Somehow they hadn’t taken off. These two individuals deserve a medal for getting us to our flight and onto the plane. It all started with the wonderful greeter at check in. I wish we’d gotten her name and the two who got us there.

When I made my transfer from my flight from Missoula to Seattle to Seattle to San Jose, the gate was at the opposite end of the airport, which I thought was inconvenient since there were so many gates for Alaska right where I landed that everything was good

On this flight, seemed like attendants just went up and down isle collecting garbage and recycling. I must have heard it 10 times, which was annoying. Serving a snack/beverage was appreciated. Collect rubbish twice, not 10 times, chanting up/down isle calling out "garbage....recycling......garbage.......recycling........." etc. All else was fine.

I described the issue I had with getting to the flight in my previous comments.

Cathay Pacific is an excellent, well-maintained airline. While I too would love to fly first, or business class, I did not. I actually had the dreaded middle seat in the middle row, and yet, since I am an inquisitive traveler, I introduced myself to my row mates and had nice chats with both until lights out. Pro tip: Bring a donut travel pillow no matter where your seat is! The flight was smooth, the restrooms clean and the staff courteous and efficient. I gave the comfort level a 4 because of the reasons listed above. The airline meals... let's face it ... it's airplane food but CP does a good job in making it as edible as possible.

I was not able to figure out how to get the entertainment. But the flight was smooth and quick.
