The confusion from Alaskan Airlines to American, no one at the front desk of Alaskan told me I didn't have a flight, which made me miss my flight that was transferred over to American TERRIBLE customer service at Alaskan!! American Airlines was a great experience. Alaskan TERRIBLE!

Easier to file a claim. My fiancé got the flu and we had to cancel. ive been given the run around filing a claim. Call me at 831.588.4346 with a live agent please

Small dirty plane for a 5 and1/2 hr flight. No food no entertainment

Plane had a maintenance problem two hours into the flight and we had to turn around. Alaska was nice to put us up in the Hilton in LAX but the cost of food in the city was WAY higher than our vouchers and the hotel had no continental breakfast. We ended up spending over $100 on food for our family in addition to the vouchers.

I appreciate the priority for safety. I did not enjoy how the delays were handled.

I flew from San Francisco to Honolulu on Hawaiian Airlines. The flight was operated by Alaska Airlines. Everything was fantastic. On the return flight from Honolulu to San Francisco, boarding was chaotic. They called each boarding group 1 through 6 very quickly, and everyone just ran and got in a very long line. There was no enforcement of boarding groups. Carry-on rules were not followed, and by the time I boarded the plane, there was barely any overhead space. I was boarding group 4. The crew was very professional, and the Hawaiian Airlines terminal in Honolulu was beautiful. I wish the rest of Honolulu Airport looked like the Hawaiian Airlines Terminal.

Crew members were helpful and responsive. However, the toilet in the only main cabin bathroom didn’t work properly.

Could have re-booked me at check in knowing that I was going to miss my interline connection

Arrive on time cause the TSA can be quite the project. Besides that your trip will be awesome.

Damaged my luggage. Insisted to check in my small luggage now it’s scratched and dented.

It would have been better if the airlines would of have the gate ready to go instead of waiting 30 minutes for the other airplane to take off

Everything for a 9:30 hour flight was fine. Seats are not very large, but worked. You should get up 2 or 3 times during that duration flight for your legs sake. Food needed more Protein meats for me. I have to check on a diabetic meal in future. I don't do sugar, so very little too eat. Flight was cheap so I am willing to look over other amenities. Everything else was great

Food can be more healthy instead of processed. Crew was friendly and courteous. Our flight time changed so they gave us extra comfort seats which was very nice.

It was great! Everything went smoothly. Nice seats, good food, great service. Will definitely fly with them again.

The return flight was 1.5 hours behind. Also some passengers lost their luggage or was delayed.

My only complaint with JetBlue is that they have Pepsi products instead of Coke and the snacks are not great. The crews are almost always outstanding, and their planes are fantastic

Plane had screws missing from engine cowling. Retire that POS

The food. It was nice having a meal provided, but I wasn't able to eat it.

On time, pleasant crew For 45 minutes please don’t bother with single use plastic drink containers

Boarding was efficient and there was enough overhead space. Passengers were cooperative about helping each other out. I think folks are happy about going to Hawaii.
