JamesFlew with Alaska AirlinesJun 2024
It’s pretty simple there. It’s one of the better airports.TSA has never been a problem for me there it moves and is mostly efficient… I was happy that we didn’t have to takeoff our shoes, which surprised me. They’re always seems to be long walk to the gates coming and going not sure why that is
JoonwonFlew with Alaska AirlinesApr 2024
The airplane is a quite small one, compared to the regular size, so pls be ready for some restrictions on carry on bags.

They serve these supposedly healthy pretzels that are very bland. Also, two of the three flight attendants were sort of irritable and not very pleasant. Looks like they’ve been doing the job too long but the one lady who happened to be the oldest was very nice.at 1 point I had my foot out on the aisle briefly, and one of the attendants actually reprimanded me with a mini lecture about how she could’ve tripped and spilled drinks, it’s like I don’t need a lecture just tell me to be careful

They serve these supposedly healthy pretzels that are very bland. Also, two of the three flight attendants were sort of irritable and not very pleasant. Looks like they’ve been doing the job too long but the one lady who happened to be the oldest was very nice.at 1 point I had my foot out on the aisle briefly, and one of the attendants actually reprimanded me with a mini lecture about how she could’ve tripped and spilled drinks, it’s like I don’t need a lecture just tell me to be careful
The handle was broken on my rolling suitcase, and the leather name tag on my other case was torn off and missing. I was stuck in the middle seat even though there were many isle seats open.
The staff is very good especially the man at the boarding gate by the name of Noel. Very nice guy very helpful. Good customer service. The flight attendants are also quite nice. there was a bit of a delay leaving but not much the flight was basically on time The pretzel snack that they served everybody is very bland and dry. They need to get something more tasty
I like the kindness and friendliness of the crew but not the long waits between flights
USB and power ports available in seats 💺. Inadequate snack options.
Be prepared for departure delays at SFO while the runways are under construction. No fault of the airlines, so be flexible. Alaska is my favorite air line but needs to pay flight attendants for all the time they're at work, not just when in the air.
Flying any other airline, even Frontier is better than Alaska
I had never flown Alaska Airlines before. I’ll definitely use them again. Seats were comfortable and roomier than expected.
I like the big picture of the Eskimo on the tail of the plane.
The crew was the best I’ve had the experience of flying with. A misbehaving child was making things difficult for me with bopping my tray table, taking my snack, and continually tapping or bumping me. The crew quietly and respectfully moved me to another seat, and thanked me for my patience. They couldn’t have been more kind. Their professionalism really stood out to me and I am more than happy to leave a great review for them!
