    The horror!
    Adam L.

    On time flight, friendly service and an unexpected upgrade to first class made my experience with Alaska an excellent one. I normally fly out of Seattle but my experience at PDX was terrific.

    Alaska needs to get it together in PDX. This is a beautiful airport but at some of your gates you need to recover the seats f or get new ones. Many seats are ridiculously cracked and it looks awful and makes people not want to use Alaska Air.

    Alaska Airlines provides superior customer service and it is evident in every level of what they do.

    Nelly who handled my wheelchair down to the aircraft was so supportive and so nice. It's just another opportunity to see Alaska with superior customer service from their special assistance to those with needs to their everyday passengers.

    My Alaska airlines experiences are always As Macho Man once said "I'm talking about all the way to the top, yeah. Unjustifiably in a position that I'd rather not be in. But the cream will rise to the top, ooh yeah." Alaska is the pinnacle of airline service. Never have I had a bad experience with this airline, even when I WAS having a bad experience. Mechanical issues and such.

    Alaska Airlines Carne Asada with rice for first class cabin.
    Doug M.

    Recent flight from TUC to PDX in First Class. Opted for the Carne Asada with rice lunch. Carne Asada was good...but as the photo shows...five small bite size pieces of steak was all you get...and a lot of rice. It is airline food for sure...but a little more meat would have been wonderful!

    I have been flying Alaska my whole life and I like it. Staff is nice. I mean they could use some work on the Internet, but they are really good when it comes to customer service and they fly extremely well. It's always smooth. The landing is never a crash, landing or emergency and they always apologize even if it's delayed just don't fly from Chicago.

    Flying isn't the enjoyable experience it used to be. Flights are expensive. Planes are overbooked. Seats are small. Airlines don't even provide food and beverages on some flights. That said, this flight wasn't that bad. The flight attendants handed out small boxes of water (no other bevs available). The flight was short enough that the reduced seating wasn't incredibly uncomfortable. The flight attendants were pleasant. The chest height portholes offered a little view of the sky. Alaska Air isn't the worst.

    This is the first time I've been to Portland international airport, and this has to be one of the,…read moreif not the nicest US airports I have ever been through. It has gone through a massive renovation that changed it from just your average "airport", to a bright airy space that is actually a pleasure to go through. It's about 20 to 30 minutes from downtown, there is bus and light rail service to the airport, and it sits right on the Columbia river, which is the state line, giving it easy access from Washington state as well. It is definitely a big airport. If you are renting a car, you do not have to take any type of airport shuttle. There is an underground, climate, controlled tunnel, connecting the rental cars, and the main terminal. It is about a 10 minute walk, but they do have moving sidewalks, and you can also rent luggage carts at a reasonable price. There are also tunnels and pedestrian bridges connecting the short term and long-term parking lots to the main terminal. All the check-in's are in one centralized area. They have people to help you find which aisle your check-in is on. You just walk up to that aisle number, and check-in. Once you've checked in, you go through security, and it's on to your gate. You can walk between all of the Concourses without having to go through security again. Again, it is a big area, but in the concourses, they also have the moving sidewalks and luggage carts available. There is lots of shopping and food/drink outlets, with an emphasis on Portland/Oregon businesses. They even have entertainment inside the terminal. I loved this airport, and I hope I get the chance to fly through here again.

Whether it or not it was psychological, I felt having all that greenery was mood lifting yet calming. Airports are known to be all hustle and bustle, but at PDX I felt like I was at a park where you could sit down at one a cafes and people watch. The amenities were clean and all the people from check in to gate were friendly and helpful. Lots of dining options and things to do while waiting. I hope to return to PDX either as a destination or layover and consider it an top tier airport.

Flight was at 11:30 but we are delayed because of mechanical issues. They said "we need to replace a panel shouldn't be long." Now it's "extensive repairs" and we are delayed on the plane until further notice. It's the 4th of July, we all want to be with our friends and family, drinking beers celebrating America. At least give us complimentary drinks and snacks. People love free shit and it makes us feel better about the situation. It's a hard pass from me to fly spirit again, in the land of the free, ain't nothing free on spirit. Not very American of them. God bless and pray we get out of this mess!

So I ask the customer service if they could not charge me for a carry on and the guy was very uninformed of the policy. He had to call his supervisor which wasn't help. They wouldn't give me fry carry on after they made me wait for another 4 hours. $79 for a carry on. What a rip. Honestly I'd rather pay more to another airline who would be more Considerate about my situation. This is the second time this kind of stuff has happened to me. My flights is from Las Vegas NV to Portland.

I am not a very frequent flyer and this was my very first time flying UA! Did I have high expectations of how I would be treated? Not really. I mean, it's 2025 post-shutdown. I get it. Things are different and it (people) will never be as it once was. It's challenging to write a fair review because each day c/would be different from the next, depending on who's working where. I will focus on the flight crew as I was traveling from PDX to SFO, and also the staff at the check in when I entered the airport. But, this flight and entire experience sucked rocks. The staff at the front counter (upon entering the airport) were rude and so flat. Their affect was non-existent. I had ^no doubt about how much they hated their job and hated being there. I also hate being made to feel that I am a bother to them! But, I digress. Was flying to SFO and was notified that my connecting flight was ^boarding and we still hadn't deplaned! What the crap? I found a crew member and explained the situation I was in. The attendant could ^not care less. He made a lame attempt to "call someone" but then informed me to talk to the gate agent when we finally deplaned. I ran to the first employee I saw she was being hounded by tons of people. I was in a panic (rightfully so) and wasn't sure which way was up. I don't fly SFO if at all, but I knew that I was 15 minutes (walking) from where my flight was currently boarding. Two pilots were around and told me to "just go" and that I would be sure to make it. I ran so hard across the SFO airport as if my life depended on it. Because it did. If I missed that connection it would have been disastrous. As I was running for my life, I saw the "Club United" office area. I ran inside, fully knowing no one cares and no one would help me, especially since I was not (and never will be!) a club member. The first thing I said to the older ladies was, "I am not a member but I will join right now, will you please help me?" The one older lady began to help, and asked me for my confirmation number, but no soon as she began to do this, the other one yelled to me, "You're wasting time. Just get to your gate". Long story longer, I barely made it to my connecting flight. When I explained to that staff member what had happened to me, from the plane landing from PDX to SFO, and all the details post, he apologized and said, "Oh, that's not what's supposed to happen". NO REALLY. He should have offered me a perk or something for my grief and anxiety on how the UA staff treated me. Meh. Fly at your own risk with them. Probably will not ever fly with them again, #SorryNotSorry.

    My wife, her mother, and I had the opportunity to take a direct roundtrip flight to/from Portland,…read moreOR from/to Los Angeles in May of 2026. It was the first time doing that for me, and it ended up being a good trip. Not proud of it, but have decided to chase status on Delta for the ability to fly Comfort whenever possible (those 3 extra inches of legroom makes a big difference, especially when the person in front reclines all the way), forsaking better deals on other airlines in some cases. Delta has made a lot of changes in the last couple of years, a big one being organizing its tickets into five main cabin classes: Main, Comfort, Premium Select, First, Delta One. Each one has a Classic or Extra sub-category, with the main difference being an Extra type ticket is fully refundable (whereas Classic will give a credit for future flight). The Main and Comfort class has a further sub-category: Basic. Basic (Main and Comfort) does not allow the selection of seats (often meaning one will sit in a middle seat, possibly away from your group), has a penalty for cancellation or change, and makes one ineligible for free upgrades. Furthermore, Main Basic also doesn't accrue loyalty rewards (miles nor MQDs), and most importantly for us, makes the ticketholder ineligible for Delta Sky Club access (even with an eligible card). I am Platinum this year, meaning that I can buy a Main Classic class for two people (including me) and then self upgrading to Comfort Classic for no additional cost. So when learning that Delta has 3 daily roundtrip flights (using one aircraft back and forth) between LAX and PDX, booked 2 separate reservations: one for two of us (including me) in Main Classic for $353. For the 3rd person, got a Main Basic for $273 ($80 per ticket difference). I figured I could sit in the back for a short flight, and was willing to take the risk of it being non-refundable. Because the flight in both directions were not full, the Main Basic seat ended up being a window (outbound) and an aisle (inbound), though one can't count on that. We flew back on a Saturday (least busy flying day of the week) so got upgraded to First Classic from Comfort Classic a couple days before the flight. Because the flight is under 2 hours, there was no meal service at all (including no premium snack cart, meaning not being able to use my AMEX snack benefit), though the First class flight attendant was very attentive, giving drinks (including alcoholic) as requested. Delta has a good video monitor system (though not Bluetooth enabled) at each seat, and changed to using YouTube music playlists, which I enjoyed on the short flight. The extra shoulder space is really useful, not having to worry so much about bumping into your seatmates space. Though I continue to be disappointed in the comfort of the seat itself...no lumbar support whatsoever. Delta is good (LAX and PDX airports at least) to have wheelchair assistance readily available, and we took full advantage for my mother-in-law.

    It's been awhile since I have flown Delta! As I was heading from LAX to PDX direct flights have…read morebeen eliminated on United thus I had to search for another airline. Delta offers direct flights: 2 hours. What a didn't realize when I decided to fly Delta that I would have a spirit experience: where you don't get offered drinks more than water. At least on Southwest you get a choice of drinks and fast. Service on delta didn't start till at least 40 minutes in. Service only in comfort and first. Given the prices delta charge, they should offer more than water. At least we got some small snacks to hold us over.

And unfortunately it was a hot, hot mess at the Air Canada gates yesterday. Travel delays are totally normal and expected. I try not to freak out about it since it's beyond my span of control. It's also not as bad when the airline employees are transparent about the situation. However, when everyone working at the gate has no clue what's going on and tells you that much, it's a little concerning. As was the case yesterday with multiple delays as well as canceled flights, the attendant in uniform I spoke with told me straight up, "I don't know what's happening over here, ask him." (pointing to a man in a safety vest running interference with other customers). Ooookay. So that's how it's gonna be. Buckle up, Buttercup. It's going to be a bumpy ride! Even more concerning was the travelers whose flight was canceled not once, not twice, but three times over the span of 36 hours at PDX. They were telling their story to anyone who'd listen while we waited for our 2+ hour delay into Vancouver. At that point, they should've just rented a car and driven to Canada... it would've taken less time. Luckily I'm flying back to the States direct on United. No long layovers on the way home.
