“With AKA since 1982”
Written on: 20/03/2016 by Shieldsbk321 (1 review written)
Our family has been flying with Alaska Air for so long that flying with another airline is something we try to avoid. AKA is like family. We usually book online, but if there is a problem, a human is always ready to assist. Their ticket prices are easier to understand and compare, there is more seat room, a smoother boarding process, better and less expensive menu items and much better customer service. Going with a different airline is always a nail biter. We have flown with many different… Read Full Review

“WORST EXPERIENCE EVER”
Written on: 09/05/2013
Business Travelers' Beware ----------- Wish I can give them a Zero. Paid for more than $1,000 for a LA to DC round trip and Alaska cancelled my return flight by error. Got stuck at the DC airport, even willing to pay for business or first class fare and still cannot get my seat back. I was forced to stay overnight due to this unexpected Alaska Airline Error, paid for hotel and taxi. Disrupted all my meetings in LA. When I try to get reimbursement, Alaska airlines did not even reply my… Read Full Review

“I wasn't hungy, but I ate it all!”
Written on: 03/02/2012 by pilotindave (1 review written)
I got a last minute upgrade on a flight up the coast last night and was shocked by the quality of the food. It was an 8PM dept, so I expected nothing but drinks. Instead - to my surprise - they were serving a salad and sandwich. The sandwich was small (I think they called it a slider) but it was really yummy. The salad was basic, but again, I wasn't expecting anything but peanuts. I wasn't hungry, but ate it all!… Read Full Review

“bored with your life?, fly AlaskanAirlines”
Written on: 11/08/2011 by dutchy (1 review written)
After trying a year to get any compensation of our damaged luggage I only can advise you to avoid this unfriendly and neglecting company. After having a terrible flight, it almost seemed that the pilot was really drunk!!!) we finally felt the wheels of the plane touching (well, a little bit more agressive :-) ) the precious ground. Claiming the damaged luggae afterwards (many people had a damaged soutcase) I haven't been succesful since a year because nobody reacts on your mails, telephone… Read Full Review

“Well, as I know, I have fly with Alaska Airlines but...”
Written on: 01/04/2010
Well, as I know, I have fly with Alaska Airlines but not Horizon Air yet, Alaska Airlines, known as formerly as McGee Airways, was founded in 1930 by Mr. McGee, and, it has a bit of a history, I have flown with it the first time, it was between OK and awesome. The food was good, the snack mix, I eat pretzels. But I didn't like the comfort, I give it a 3 because it is a bit comfortable, and the plane has arrived before on-time! Great, and we purchase our tickets at Seattle. There are hubs of… Read Full Review

Written on: 19/11/2008
Nice airline. Helpful FA's. Great customer service, Served good food for a LAX-RNO flight. They offered bags of chips, peanuts, crackers, and a breakfast meal (eggs, sausage) with a drink (sprite, coke, fanta, more soft drinks, coffee, and tea). Overall 10/10.
Will I fly with them again? Definitely.
Was it worth my money? Definitely.
Do I recommend you to fly it? Definitely…

“On my flight to Los Angeles, before we left Seattle,...”
Written on: 18/10/2008 by hiflier1337 (1 review written)
On my flight to Los Angeles, before we left Seattle, the flight attendants cracked a great joke about blackberries during the safety demonstration. Theres no entertainment system on all of their aircraft apart from the Digeplayers on transcontinental flights but they are served from first class first and they may run out when your at the back of the plane which can be annoying. Alaska airlines is a great airline to fly on… Read Full Review

Alaska Airlines / Horizon Air never lost a bag, only few delays, but in this busy world, understandable. Can fall asleep fine and easy to boared/leave, easy to get around and customer service people decent for what can be expected. Bad point, a couple of delayed flights, but not by muck… Read Full Review

Written on: 16/02/2008
Does anyone who works for this airline even care about their customers. After all, we are the ones who pay their wages. The trip to Puerto Vallarta on Jan 15/08 was more than dissapointing. There were 3 couples traveling together on this trip. We flew from Victoria B.C. to Seattle with no problem arriving in Seattle at 7:00am. Our connection from Seattle to San Francisco was to leave at 8:30am. The departure time had been changed to 9:20am. We boarded the plane and listened to the pilot change… Read Full Review

Written on: 16/09/2007 by Travalalot (1 review written)
During the recent grounding of Horizon planes, Horizon employees, under
great stress, did a great job. Most flew Alaska to get to their cancelled
Horizon connections in Seattle. Unfortunately, Alaska employees took a
"not my problem" approach and were generally rude. In my case, when Horizon ran out of the overnight kits (toothpaste, brush)I requested a kit from Alaska, but I was refused: 'It was Horizon's Problem'.
In my opinion Alaska seems to have forgotten consumers have choices…

Written on: 11/06/2007 by hankoboy (2 reviews written)
Flight from Vancouver to Portland was great. Only snacks were offered but coffee was aplenty. For such a short flight, you don't expect a full meal service and the plane was tiny. From the aircraft, the flight attendant showed us Mount St Helens, which was a nice touch, especially since I'm not from the area! Will I fly Horizon Airlines again? Of course! I am already planning my multiple stop trip around the Pacific Northwest with them!… Read Full Review

“Alaska is the worst airline ever. ”
Written on: 31/01/2007 by OneWhoFlewWithAlaskaAirlinesLastTime (1 review written)
Alaska is the worst airline ever.
Instead of the food, which was supposed to be included due to the ticket, a piece of toast was offered for $5.
The same flexibility was experienced at the check-in desk. For only two kilos of overweight baggage I was charged $25.
Toilets were stinking in the cabin.
There was a shortage of blankets and pillows in the cabin. The pillows that were there were dirty.
The temperature in the cabin was varying over the flight, so much so that people were wearing…

Written on: 29/03/2006 by neal0000 (1 review written)
I attempted to change my Alaska Airlines reservation within 24 hours of making it, 3 weeks from the departure date. Online, the price listed for a new reservation was $497.20 vs $719.20 for the prior reservation a $222 savings but they refused to honor the price difference (What do you think their policy would be if it was more expensive?) The several representatives and a manager that I spoke with informed me that "The computer system takes your money and we can't give it back no matter the… Read Full Review

Written on: 16/10/2005 by headtrip (6 reviews written)
I have always been impressed with the hospitality of Alaska Airlines. The flight attendants are very friendly, and usually very helpful for getting pillow and blankets on night flights, or getting refills on drinks or snacks in a timely manner. I do not recall any Alaska Airlines flights being late, and I have flown on them for 15 years. I always get AAdvantage frequent flyer miles on their flights, and I think that is the best program out there… Read Full Review

Jupiter44's Response to Travalalot's Review
Written on: 26/10/2007
I work in an airport and witnessed the poor Horizon agents dealing with the mega-line ups due to the Q400 issues. They did the best they could but their passengers were in line for hours! In my opinion Horizon made a poor choice in selecting that aircraft, apart from the failing main gear, those planes are constantly having trouble with their computer systems and seem to be broken about 25% of the time - at least once a week I see one "off to the side" of the ramp sitting idle waiting for maintenence crews to come fix it again.
<br/>
<br/>I just don't know, I really like the Horizon staff, but the mix of unreliable aircraft and the fact they're owned by and connect to Alaska, which in my opinion is a poor airline in all respects, means they really don't have a lot to work with unfortunately.
