Flight was smooth, but the overhead bins were not deep enough to stow bags vertically and we ran out of room - even with 8 passengers voluntarily gate-checking their bags.
They were all very kind, but misinformed. We came from Idaho to Spokane, Washington and were told that my husband and I could get passes to sit with William until his flight took off. (William has special needs.) When we got to the airport we were told only one of us could sit with William, so my husband and I were separated for 2 hours as I sat with William. What is WORSE . . . is I asked for a meet and assist in Portland and they NEVER showed up. NOR did they call me to tell me they hadn't met him. William's grandmother in Portland is disabled and can't walk into find him. Fortunately, some kind citizens helped him to find the meeting point with me on the phone in terror. I have a heart condition, complete with prior heart attack, this type of customer service is UNACCEPTABLE.
I had a great travel experience with Alaska. The agents and cabin crew were all so pleasant and helpful. The plane was clean and comfortable. The connecting flights went smoothly even with some minor delays. All in all, it was nice not to be upset with the journey. I say that because over the last few years all my travel has been on Delta and American, and always involved cranky employees and flight issues. I wish Alaska flew everywhere I need to go. Will definitely fly Alaska every time I have a choice. Thanks for helping me look forward to traveling again.
Have I received a refund yet? They wouldn’t let me on the airplane it took hours. I lost my bag that told me what I needed to do to bring the dogs, and then they kept changing their minds.
Only problem my credit card had over three pending credit card charges for luggages. I hope these charges do not post. I have already contacted my credit card companies.
The registration was chaotic. The kiosks didn't work for most people, and most had to do registration and receive boarding slips with a person. It took about an hour to get through he process, and I was worrying that I will be late to the flight. However, the personnel was great - courteous, professional, and was able to work through the problems.
Bumpy landing and no food per turbulent weather but no fault of flight! Everything fine.
Overall good , very dependable Airline and all its staff, etc but what could have been improved was allowing more than 40 minutes during layover in Portland as ultimately that brief layover was reduced to about 10 minutes with delays and causes us to panic as we rushed thru the Airport to our connecting flight. The Plane arrives at the Portland Airport very far from one Gate to another but thankfully the staff waited for us at the last minute to Board and were very caring and compassionate and assisted us in every regard . Thank you
Please don't shrink the seat space any more, as United has done. Thanks for all your good work.
Paid for first class, but the flight attendant for first class did the minimum required. She really ever came to pick up the trash, and never asked if we needed anything. Every person had to ring for the flight attendants if they wanted any extra drinks. When I went back to use the restroom, she was just sitting on her phone.
