It was cancelled due to crew. I missed a special family graduation due to this

I had never flown Alaska Airlines before. I’ll definitely use them again. Seats were comfortable and roomier than expected.

Seats lack shoulder and elbow room. The lady next to me was short and slightly heavy with knee problems, she kept jabbing me with her elbow while playing her game on her phone for 2 hours, the duration of the whole flight. It was frustrating and annoying! I was in the middle seat, there was no space to adjust to avoid her arm jabbing me.

I like the big picture of the Eskimo on the tail of the plane.

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!

2 names: Uliana y Mya! These ladies went above and beyond to provide the best care and experience onboard Alaska Airlines. Mya was such a a pleasant delight. She was very kind and attentive to my children. When she noticed my son was waiting to use the restroom, she offered him snacks. Uliana-golden standard of customer service with care. She was attentive from the moment I came onboard to the time we departed. She paid extra attention to notice I spilled water while stepping onboard and offered me a napkin. I didn't even notice that I spilled my water. She also was very kind and nurturing to my youngest child whose feet were in the aisle while she was asleep. She took note to gently place her feet safely and carefully in the aisle so not to wake her but also prevent a passenger from accidentally bumping into her. She checked on us multiple times to ensure we were comfortable, especially our young children and surprised them with special Alaska Airlines wings. That very kind gesture made them feel apart and very special. They even went up to her as we were departing to give her a hug and fist bump. It's the smallest gestures and acts of kindness that mean a great. Thus, my family wanted to use this opportunity to thank the entire crew and particularly shout out Mya and Ulina. We are happy to be loyal customers and look forward to our future flight with Alaska Alirlines.

We missed our connection in SFO What more would you like to hear? You changed our Rez It sucked We spent the night in a hotel Not Good

Bad. Flight was delayed over 2 hours and the plane was sitting on the tarmac the entire time. We received no explanation for why the flight was delayed.

The flight was delayed by several hours at the airport and then again after we boarded the plane.

Lost luggage and no compensation. Did not receive luggage till 9pm the next day. Again no compensation or apology
