Good. Quiet. Comfortable. The protests nearly kept me from catching my flight. They waited for me! I made it!

I tried to cancel my flight weeks in advance round trip and told I was not able to. $400 down the drain

wish Airlines would board the plane starting in the back first. Makes more sense and I think it would be faster, NO? Everything else was great!

I went Premium otherwise it would have been a long wait. On board I only asked for a cup of hot water and got lukewarm. Cabin crew have poor to no service. But great flight; it went smooth.

Great flight Pilot was friendly and kept us informed when small delay to de ice plane

I appreciated the check-in at SEATAC - a knowledgeable person was available. I found it easy to ask questions as I went along. I hadn't been at SEATAC for a year and was not that familiar. Parking was fine at Sacramento

My baggage arrived at the airport on an earlier flight. It would have been nice if I would have gotten a text. I waited until all the luggage had arrived before Ivwent to the baggage counter!

I had to check-in my small carry-on at the gate which was inconvenient. According to the people at the gate at SEATAC, there wasn't anymore room in the overhead bins. I obliged. But, when I got inside the aircraft, there was plenty of room EVERYWHERE! It was either miscommunication or incompetence among the Alaska personnel.

Bad. The fight was late and they gave a ridiculous $12 stipend. Better give something or nothing. $12 is ridiculous.

It was a good flight . It wasn’t a full flight so we had space to move around

I didn’t like that I could not select my seat and was assigned a seat when I checked in at LAX

Great experience overall. Check in at Austin was congested as they only have about 6 check in kiosks, one was broken, and there was a lot of Spring Break travelers.

Bag drop off was slow and annoying. Only 2 agents at the entire delta desk, and no one directing traffic for what line to be in, many confused people slowed down the process. Boarding was fine. Seats in Delta comfort plus were fine. Snacks were great! Definitely a bonus. The entertainment system was awful — old, slow, not responsive, and completely unable to play games due to some kind of error. But on the other hand, thank you to Delta for the free WiFi. That made it better.

Flight diverted in SD. Later take off in Seattle by 1.3hrs

Crew was not friendly when I went to request a seat change.

The boarding process was terrible especially with an indirect flight Chicago to Seattle to San Diego was terrible talking about we overbooked a flight idk if I’d take this airline ever again we got off our flight from Chicago to Seattle and we traveled for business and they told us our connecting flight was over booked and their was no seats asking people to take a delayed next flight and they don’t tell anyone coughing to wear masks seats 30A-B were terrible during the flight no one wants to sit next to people coughing all around I don’t want to be sick traveling for work or get sick anytime it’s very upsetting the staff doesn’t take this stuff serious to tell them to wear masks when they see people coughing and sneezing

Crew was great. However the seat I had would not recline and stay put. It would spring back to upright. Hopefully they can check the seats and maintain them. Otherwise the plane is clean and the crew is very friendly.

Boarding in Seattle is always a mess. Sat in Deltas new domestic first class cabin. Everything was great except I found the seat cushion to be fairly uncomfortable. I’m a bigger guy so take that into mind (6’2” / 300 lbs.). Crew was meh.

Like most domestic flights in the US, you are basically on your own with this airline when it comes to food, so be sure to purchase meals and drinks ahead of time or expect to arrive starving and dehydrated (like I was).
