Upon arrival at Eugene, they pushed the flight 45 minutes, then as that approached they pushed it another hour, then as that approached they pushed it another hour, about halfway into that they moved the boarding time/departure time forward about 15 minutes. More than a little bit annoying!
I bought this flight for my mom to come to Houston to see her grandkids and on the way here, their flight was delayed over and over and she didn't get until midnight and she was supposed to be in at 5: 30pm. My mom is almost 70 with a bad knee so that's a long time to be stuck in an airport because her first flight was delayed and she missed her second flight and had to wait for the last fight of the day just to make it. Not only that, which is ridiculous because if a flight is delayed the next fight should have waited for them, on the way home, once again her flight was delayed and by the time she would have gotten to Portland she would have missed her flight to Redmond. So we called and had to get her flight changed because of that. Thankfully she was flexible and flew out the next day, but the Portland trip didn't happen. I am happy that Alaska did make it right by getting her a new flight and upgrading her seats but there should be holding the next flights if the flight is getting there within a few minutes of them boarding. If one flight is delayed, the next flight should be delayed just to accommodate people. Older people having to wait in the airport in uncomfortable chairs for hours on end is not the best for my almost 70-year-old mom.
If you had direct flights to Denver from Santa Rosa, I would be a frequent flyer. Nice experience.
There is not enough space in the cabin for bags and so I had to have my check to the last second.
My experience was great with Alaska Airlines. Fantastic customer care
Overall, excellent, including the warmth, friendliness and equanimity of all the employees,
People were friendly and helpful, and even under stress of a short time between connecting flights, kept their equanimity.
Significant unexplained delay in boarding caused me to nearly miss connecting flight. Cabin crew was helpful in expediting deplaning and gate notification .
Super narrow seats, no in flight entertainment for long direct flight and limited snacks of 1 packet of cookies. Nice crew and patient staff.
we booked with Alaska but the flight was operated by AA, and this meant we were unable to check in online. We arrived at the airport to check in over 3 hours before the scheduled flight time, but were not able to be seated together (2 people on the same booking). So we had middle seats solo on a 11 hour flight which sucked
Lounge was top notch h with great variety of food and drinks. Cabin crew were great. Smooth flight.
My seat 3G did not go down fully and the buttons were not working properly
Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better
The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great
Security area in terminal 3 needs to be made much nicer. Less claustrophobic and use of glass and big ceilings wouldhelp
accomodating check in staff, friendly flight crew ( a crew member was speaking tactlessly and was overfamiliar with passengers
Seats need to be updated. Allowance needs to be made for dinner service at an alternative time
If I could fly Virgin Atlantic airlines to every place, I need to go, I would. Leaving Heathrow through the special virgin air entrance, security is completely white glove service. I love this airline. From ticketing agents to flight staff everyone tries to make it a wonderful & happy flight experience. I wish other airlines copied the positive culture of Virgin Airlines.
Premium was very comfortable. Food was delicious. I had specific diet requirement and Virgin Atlantic ensured it was provided. Onboard crew was very friendly and caring. Extremely smooth journey. I wonder how upper class experience would be. Perhaps one day, I will try upper class.
On arrival to JFK it to 3.5hrs to clear immigration, as only 3 booths open. Almost missed connection
The seat configuration was insane. Horrible. Had to jump over sleeping people to go the bathroom. The food was the best we’ve had in any Business class.
Our plane was delayed for an hour because they had the wrong tow truck that pulls the plane out of the gate. An hour late just to find the right vehicle that pushes the plane out of the gate area! The delay made us barely make our connecting flight but of course our luggage didn’t make it. So no luggage when we arrived at our destination.
Best: Flight attendants. Worst: Bags took forever to receive at LAX despite being tagged Priority - at least a 35 minute wait.
It was one hour 15 minutes late taking off so we missed our connecting flight in Philadelphia.
Crew did a great job, but aircraft was old and bitterly cold. Arrived early in CLT but had to wait for 30 mins for a gate. I knew in the plane what time we were arriving 8 hours before landing and it's basically an American Airlines airport, think they would have had space for an international flight lined up lol
Cabin crew were good Food could be a lot better
Really good, premium economy is worth for a daytime flight coming back from europe
Horrible! We departed out of terminal 5, not only was the sign for flights and gate information were so badly organized that it took 2 minutes for all of the flight info load for the correct airline. One would think BA would have new and well managed jet ways, but no you had to take a bus to the plane. It took for every and detailed departure by 40 mins. I’ve had better class of service from Indian Airlines. BA needs to work on upscaling to meet the Industry norms. I can see regional airlines using this loading method but not on an international flight.
Plane features were VERY old and outdated. footrest cushion was completely lose, plane felt dirty and a bit grimy. i was in business class. the lead flight attendant, Mary made a few announcements that didn't seem to put the cabin at ease (it didn't necessarily bother me, but could have bothered others). she said "the seat cushions aren't FDA approved, so you have to put them on after we take flight." everyone had already applied the seat cushions, and saying something isn't approved for flight may cause alarm. she also said at one point over the announcement ... "we can't get up because we are too afraid of the jet stream impacts" -- again, not helpful to those who are nervous fliers.
Heathrow is a nightmare in general (crowded, etc). BA was great - having to take a bus between the gate and the plane is a bummer.
It was amazing. I sat in First Class as a Saga Premium member, and my service was top notch. It was wonderful. I only recently joined Saga Club since I do travel to Scandinavia often and enjoy flying through Reykjavik on Iceland Air versus other ways of travelling to Europe. This was my first trip sitting in first class, which I honestly wasn’t expecting!
It didn't happen. Icelandair cancelled the flight from Nuuk, Greenland to Reykjavik, Iceland so I couldn't fly to Portland. Additionally Icelandair rebooked me on a flight that got cancelled too.
Let's just say I won't do it again.
1. No food on a 8 hr flight is a travesty! The fare was not that low. 2. The entertainment was pretty bad and you had to buy headphones!!! 3. Only 2 toilets for the whole Economy section!!
Having been prepared for paying for everything on board other than water, coffee and tea the service was OK. Food and drink is expensive but the food was OK if limited in scope. Plane was clean and obviously well serviced. After complaining about having to walk in wind and rain to a get a bus to the airport the same thing happened at Portland. I’m sure you could get a terminal gate flight, complimentary food and drink for not much more money without traipsing through rain and slush in Reykjavik. Not bad but not great.
If there was a disclaimer regarding food service or lack thereof, l missed it. If l had known l would have prepared better. Same with transferring at Reykjavik. No information about disembarking via stairs into rain, slush and puddles deep enough to swallow a foot. After being treated to haute cuisine restaurants and warm inviting environment during the flight, the airport is, let’s be kind, disappointing. Plane was comfortable, Airbus, staff were welcoming enough. I would likely try the route again. Maybe have a night and day in Iceland. Maybe not.
For an economy lite experience, it's by far the best I've had. New planes, clean, great destinations. Very happy to have discovered Iceland Air.
Plane left an hour late and missed our connecting flight. Your service center was closed ao Alaska Airlines could not change the ticket. Thus we missed the chance to get out that night to San Jose. This is a major operational blunder.
did internet check in but still had to get checked in at the counter and this was not the first time. Bummer!
Paying $75 for my bag is disgusting. Got off ground late so I missed my connections. Kept us waiting for passengers in the cold. Will not use them again.
Cabin crew was very good. No wifi and no doors to the suites
That airplane is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever flown! Flight 267 LON-PDX Aug 10, 26 The middle armrests didn’t go up all the way. The aisle arm rest didn’t raise at all. The leg room area was compromised by a large metal box on both exterior seats. The headrests didn’t flatten. We got an email apologizing for no WiFi, but on the plane we’re told there would be WiFi. I never got it to connect. Pre-boarding support was great. Boarding was smooth. Crew was great. Food was DELICIOUS. A different plane would have resulted in a much better score.
My touch screen at my seat wasn't working, the films BA advertised on the website for this flight were not available, and the plane was a little dated, food was good and the staff were good, just let down by the aircraft facilities.
We were in business class and I had seat # 1. This was a night flight and after dinner was served, lights were dimmed and I went to sleep. The crew were loud and noisy so I didn’t get much sleep. I expect the crew to enjoy themselves but would Appreciate some decency in staying quiet while the passengers sleep
We had a pretty good experience. Enjoyed both the flights. Crew was very good and helpful.
We were kicked off this flight by British Airways due to delays on our connecting flight also operated by British airways and were rebooked on a different carrier which delayed our arrival home by > 26 hours.
Boarding is a mess. They never check group # so lots of people crowding in. Comfortable seats this flight. I had an empty seat next to me, very convenient. Food was really not good, but I was starved. The pizza snack thing was horrible. Crew was grand. They really make it enjoyable.
Not being able to check my luggage ruined my flight experience with British Airways. I have to spend hundreds of dollars to get my luggage to me.
There was a group of people on the flight that were drunkenly speaking loud, didn't allow anyone to sleep, and were not adequately stopped.
At the airport checkin they didn’t have all the details I’d given during the very time consuming online checkin (very slow site), and they lost my bag….
