Being seated next to the engine was awful! I was nauseous the entire trip from pre-take-off, flying to landing. The engine vibration was very strong!

Being seated next to the engine was awful! I was nauseous the entire trip from pre-take-off, flying to landing. The engine vibration was very strong!

When Alaska uses Sky west which it does on many flights in and out of PDX, The planes use " Gates" that are outside of the terminal and are a long walk to and from the planes. Also you must board and deplane using a ramp. I have difficulty walking so going into Portland was difficult. Going out was worse . We walked to nearly the emd of this "Tunnel " only to be told there was a problem with the plane so we had to take the long walk back to to the terminal and then back out again when the plane was fixed. I will look for a Southwest flight next time I go to Portland

Great! No issues at all. Friendly staff, on time flight, and smooth, comfortable flight.

The airline itself was extremely comfortable and the staff were wonderful. The communication was excellent amongst the pilots and flight attendants and the passengers. I was throughly impressed by the cleaning crew that came on the plane immediately to ready it for the next flight. I have flown a bunch of times post Covid pandemic and have never seen this! I gave the “okay” rating for the food and entertainment because I didn’t order food and there wasn’t entertainment offered through the plane (only your personal devices).

The flight both ways was pleasant and uneventful. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and overall very helpful.

The one stewardess was rude about helping me put my bag in overhead….she said “ Is it heavy ?” (I am 73 yrs old)

That flight was a terrible experience. Flying to Portland was not much better. I will not ever fly Alaska Airlines again. I have a temporary disability due to recent neurocervical surgery. I cannot lift heavy things, I cannot walk long distances without vertigo and fainting, and I required wheelchair assistance. I showed up an hour and a half before my flight. The wheelchair queue assistance person was rude and chastised me for showing up so late. An older couple showed up almost an half an hour AFTER me, and she was sweet as pie to them. There was a long wait for wheelchair assistance as they were backed up. When I got to the gate, the gate attendants were rude and again, I got chastised for being late, even though it was not my fault they were backed up. When I asked for help with my bags and boarding the plane, they told me it was my fault and they were not obligated to help me. I was treated like a big inconvenience because I had a wheelchair and I couldn't "just walk." One of them literally rolled her eyes at me. I kept silent, because I just wanted to get home and I felt like they would not let me on if I complained, but I was practically crying. When I got down to the door to board, the wheelchair person left, and I asked the flight attendants for help. They said, well, you'll have to stand there and wait, even though I said I couldn't stand very long, and another passenger said, "Oh just let me do it" and helped me down. I tried not to bother the inflight attendants, because everytime you did, they acted exasperated and stressed out. I paid $7.50 for a bag of Pirate Booty and a tiny turkey beef stick for dinner. I needed wifi to work during the flight, and it kept crashing on me repeatedly and resetting my online work, costing me valuable time. I had to pay twice to get it on my laptop and phone, but I did get a refund when I returned. When I got to NY, the Portland agents had not arranged for a wheelchair to meet me and I had to stand for fifteen minutes waiting for the very nice young man who found an empty chair and had to wheel me and another passenger with carry on luggage to the front of JFK all by himself. Never, ever again. You all should be ashamed of how you treat people with disabilities. The other people who needed assistance to get on this flight did not fare much better than me, from what I could see.

My experience for a sort flight was perfect and hassle free.

I didn’t like not knowing my seat till I got to the airport - and my boarding group was F (last).

My boarding pass birthdate was printed incorrectly causing me to spend an extra hour in a check-in and then again TSA line and to miss a chance to have dinner pre-flight. My window seat was given away and was replaced with a middle seat. I would have liked an opportunity to charge my phone and take advantage of movies but many of the departure gate chargers weren’t operational and I don’t know of an in-flight charging option, The flight left 45 late after trouble with unruly passengers, and I was glad staff removed them.

3 hours late and all they have is was a $12 meal voucher. That’s not even enough to cover fast food.

Among the poorest flights I’ve had with Delta in a while. Entertainment system failed completely on a 7.5 hr flight. Crew seemed distracted and not the normal friendly crew. Flight overbooked it seemed… very crowded.

If I can, I always fly Delta. I’ve found their service to always be reliable and pleasant.

You could have not cancelled the flight (AA, which I will be flying from now on) left for BOS despite the fictitious weather issues (that no one in my Boston family could see). You could have rebooked my direct flight to another direct flight instead of sending me though JFK, the worst US airport after O’Hara You could have rebooked me on a Main Cabin seat (like the one I paid for in my original ticket instead of putting me a the last row on JFK->BOS leg, pocketing the difference in ticket price But I do not really care whether you will ever do that in a future because in a future neither I nor anyone from my company (unless they pay out of pocket) nor an of my clients and partners (if they heed my advice) will ever be caught dead on any of Delta flights

Really bad baggage handling. Had my Rimowa bag badly damaged at the latches.

It was pretty good I was worried with the short Layover that I might not catch my connection but the gate was there

It was good until there was a 3 hour delay because there was not any pilots to fly the plane.

There was plenty of overhead room but half of the passengers were told they had to check their carryon bags. My partner and I checked in as early as possible and our seats were split across the aisle.

Friendly flight attendants. Comfort plus seats were very comfortable and had lots of leg room. 10A and 10 B.

Flew first class so everything was great. But maybe because the flights were red eye, no meals were served, just chips. I flew Alaska Air 1st class at 9PM (2 hour flight) and they served beef short rib sliders!
