    Crash trucks in Reno

    Still surprised this airline is in business with as many complaints they get. Never heard back from them. I do tell people about my experience with them and I will walk or swim before ever considering flying with them.

    My seat was completely torn from the base before the flight. But flight attendant said it's ok. In what world is it ok?

    Mmmmm...a closer look at my delightful view on this miserable flight.

    I'm trying hard to imagine a way in which an airline could be worse. With even the most creative minds intentionally trying to come up with a way to make the experience more negative, I don't think they could do it. I give myself 1 star for having been so short sighted as to book a flight with Spirit. I travel often and this was a sad mistake on my part. As is abundantly clear by the comments here, the luggage fees are obscene. Checked bag, must be under 40 pounds...$60. Carry on....$60. So an additional $120 for basic luggage? Gross. Sitting in the plane for around an hour with a mask on before we finally take off. Drink cart comes up the aisle and I am genuinely thirsty and oxygen deprived. I ask for a cup of water and she says "That will be $3." I laugh but she can't see it because of the mask. Then I realize she was serious. What a joke! Another flight attendant tells me it's due to Covid protocol. This was ironic to me because A. Delta was able to provide me with a cup of water for (gasp) free just two days earlier. The kicker for me, was staring at this nasty glob of hair and bugs stuck to the back of the head rest in front of me. Covid cleanliness anyone? This felt like a low budget scam every step of the way. I will never make the mistake of booking with this "airline" again.

    Brand New airplane with No Wi-Fi or anything else.

    If I could give this airline no stars I would! 1st and last time ever flying this airline. I purchased 2 checked bags thinking I purchased 2 carry on bags, but was asked to leave the line and once I talked to the guy at the gate and explained the mistake and that I ended up the only person with a bag, but I was told that even with purchasing 2 checked bags I unfortunately still owed $9.00. Once on board the airline the flight crew talked down to us like children and even got rude to passengers they thought weren't listening to them

Satisfied customer.

    3.25 Stars - I have mixed emotions giving them a lower rating but…read moreAlaska Airlines as whole has diminished their shine as a top tier Airlines. We flew on miles and upgraded our seats to first class with cash. As a whole the flight was good and because we didn't have checked luggage, it was a breeze for us. Below is where the star rating was up and down. Customer Service via Phone or Chat: 2.5 Stars - needs major improvement. However, contacting customer service via phone can be frustrating due to long wait times or returning a call back. Also, I tried to communicate via their chat portal and if you don't answer within a timely manner (2 minutes), the AI Or person will disconnect with you. This happened on two occasions when I was trying to change flight date. I finally gave up. Flight - ATL -SEA 3.25 Stars The flight crew were pleasant and professional. However, AK has forgo the water at the seat in First class. We had to wait until most of the passengers were seated before we receive a cup of water. Our flight attendant was friendly, had a wonderful smile and professional but there were times, she waited a lot longer to pickup the finished drinks or meals. She seemed preoccupied with other duties. We weren't the only one that she forgot to bring drinks or pickup the dishes. Food: 3 Stars Breakfast was presented nicely and looked good. But the breakfast meal I had was ok. Though the meal was hot and it looked good, the ham was too salty and the potatoes had a little bit more Rosemary that I am use too. Coffee was so-so, so I requested my go-to drink of Cranberry juice. The other breakfast dish we had was the fruit and cheese tray. It tasted better than my egg, ham, potatoes dish. Both dishes were accompanied by fresh fruit and yogurt. SEA - ANC Food - 3.25 stars AK airlines famous cheese burger. The burger was good but nothing to write home about. Or am I? Served w chips, humid and veggies and chocolate cake. The humus was flavorful and hint of spicy to it. Cake was moist and had a deep chocolate flavor. To kick it up a notch, spread the humus to the burger instead of mayo or mustard. It made the burger more delicious! AK Airlines doesn't have IFE, but you could watch or text with their free WiFi. Also, there is $8 option. If you have a T-Mobile account then it is free. We flew on a 737-900 series. The first class seats were large and comfortable. After arrival to Seattle airport, we stopped by to talk w customer service agent. Cynthia (4 Stars) assisted us to see if we could change an our flight to ANC for an earlier flight. We had a 8 1/2 hour layover and we noticed there was an earlier flight. We were willing to seat in Premier or Coach instead of First Class. She contacted customer service phone line to get assistance. She thought because of our First Class seats, we would be able to chance the class seat but the person told her due we would have to exchange our first class for another set of first class seats on a different flight. The person couldn't downgrade us to a different class seat selection. Weird! She was surprised herself. We thanked for her assistance. So, I struck out on changing my flights (phone, chat, and physical person). So this where the overall rating is lower than expected. Addendum from SEA - ANC Our first class flight attendant was wonderful. Positive, lots of energy, professional and was very pleasant to talk to. Greeted us when we walked in, had our pre-departure drink within 10 minutes of be seated and had our preorder meals within the hour of the flight. She was delightful. Though the 737-9Max wasn't as clean as it should be. I brush off some crumbs from my seat and there were a couple of coffee stirrers on the floor near our seats. The first class seats are modern but not as cushy as the older seats in the 737-900 series plane. So, would I use them again? Probably, but strictly use mile or pay cash. I think using miles and cash made our flights more difficult to change.

Shocked my mother reply's with " you must be having a long day" with remorse and she says " MY DAY HAS JUST STARTED" Absolutely horrible employee delta has chosen to handle customers. Unapologetic and acknowledging hostility when receiving none. Not only was the scheduling of delta to have a connecting flight leave early with out the paying lay over customers. To then be given Christine the hostile employee really ruined the end of our vacation. I hope this isn't in the training that Delta provides for employees on how to handle customers looking for other ways to get home. Christine is responsible for us considering other airlines when flying next time.

You will be pestered with emails suggesting to pay for this and that in advance to make your trip more pleasant or predictable. You MAY be asked to prove that your hand luggage fits in their size bins (there were two next to my gate with stern warnings, so you can try in advance). You CAN pay through the app in the airport if you need to convert your personal item into a carry-on but that will eat some of the savings. The seats do not tilt; because of that the seating area is actually wider and pant size 42 man comfortably fits with no intrusion to the neighboring space. IMHO 44 should fit too. Your flight crew WILL be nice and bottomless tea or coffee will be 4 bucks. The lavatory is, probably, not cleaned between the flights. I was first and the seat was already "sprinkled" and one of two rolls of toilet paper was already down to the bare core. Short delays are very common with Frontier (at least on LAX-SEA they are) but usually they recover most of it through the flight. My flight left 20 minutes late but arrived on-time. If you fly with just the "personal item" AKA small backpack 18x14x8", accept the toilet situation (I am not saying that they never clean, only that on my flight it was not - for sure), and OK with the need to walk / take a free shuttle from the gate to the airplane, you will save 35%. If you have carry on, you will save ~15%, and if you are flexible with your travel dates, you will fly half-price comparing to the major airlines. The caveat is the usual - no changes and no upgrades of anything.

    I flew from LAs Vegas to Seattle today on flight number 2407. The flight attendants were, by far,…read morethe most unprofessional, unhelpful, and rude attendants I have ever encountered. There was a woman and a man who were in the back of the plane where the restrooms are. Before the flight even took off, the woman said to her male coworker that "the higher ups" don't like her and that's why she's in the back. They then continued talking extremely loudly to the extent that I and several people seated near me thought the conversation was coming out of the overhead speakers. Their conversations consisted of a kind of flirty exchange where the woman was sharing her entire dating life, stories about being drunk and even saying that she has 6 months clean. They continued talking extremely loudly despite multiple passengers looking back and questioning how they could be so unaware. The plane was extremely quiet as many people were returning from Las Vegas so extremely tired and trying to nap. After about 45 minutes, I went to the bathroom near them and politely asked if they realized that the whole back half of the plane e could hear their entire conversation. The response was that this is how they keep themselves awake on the job and began laughing and exchanging undermining and outwardly rude glances. I went back to my seat and about 10 minutes later, a man who was two rows from the back of the plane stood up and asked something similar to the following...would you guys mind keeping it down? We have spent the entire time on this flight listening to your discussions about inappropriate subjects and we would appreciate it if you would remain professional and spare us the details of your personal lives. They laughed and did not respond at which point t he said, "no wonder the higher up's don't like you." They continued to converse loudly and snicker about the passengers requests. At one point a different flight attendant approached them and we thought she would be asking them to quiet down but within moments she was laughing and clearly not informing them that they were out of line. At this time, I was filming and attempting to Document the situation. The woman then approached my seat and demanded that I stop recording. She had a red card and said if I did not stop recording she would hand the red card and I would be met by the police upon landing. When I tried to explain the situation, she said that she was unaware of that and when I asked for a supervisor, she stated the there was no supervisor on board and reminded me that it is against privacy rules to Record anyone without their permission. Overall, this was the worst flight I have ever experienced. The lack of professionalism and common courtesy was astounding. I will never fly with Frontier again.

This hotline is available 24 hours daily to assist with reservations, flight Changes, group booking, rebooking, Cancellations, refunds and all other Travel enquiries. ## *An Unexpected Change to My Travel Plans* This trip didn't exactly start the way I had planned. Due to heavy traffic on the way to the airport, I missed my original flight by just a few minutes. I was honestly expecting the situation to become much more stressful, but the airline staff at the service desk remained calm and guided me through the available options. After checking the next available flight, they helped me with the rebooking process much faster than I expected. Although waiting for another departure wasn't ideal, I appreciated how clearly everything was explained. I was kept informed about the new boarding time, and the entire process felt organized rather than chaotic. By the time I reached the gate for my new flight, I was much more relaxed. ## *A Pleasant Airport Experience Despite the Delay* Since I suddenly had extra time before departure, I walked around the terminal, grabbed lunch, and caught up on a few work emails. The boarding announcements were clear, and the gate staff handled the process efficiently once it was time to board. Passengers entered the aircraft in an orderly manner, and everything started on schedule. Even after the stressful beginning to the day, boarding felt calm and well managed, which immediately improved my mood. ## *Comfortable Flight with Helpful Crew* The aircraft was clean, and my aisle seat was comfortable enough for the journey. Shortly after takeoff, the cabin crew welcomed everyone and began serving refreshments. Throughout the flight they remained approachable and friendly, checking regularly to see if anyone needed assistance. The captain kept passengers informed about the route and expected arrival time, and the flight itself remained smooth from start to finish. By the end of the journey, I had almost forgotten how stressful the morning had been. ## *Excellent Service Left a Positive Impression* After landing, baggage delivery was quicker than expected, and I was able to leave the airport without any additional delays. While missing my original flight was completely my own fault, the airline handled the situation professionally and made the rest of the journey surprisingly easy. That experience showed me that good customer service isn't only about when everything goes perfectly--it's also about how problems are handled. Because of that, I'd happily choose this airline again.

    Turkish Airlines is a newer airline flying into Seattle as they only started nonstop flights to…read moreIstanbul in 2022. The airline is known for offering flights to the most destinations around the world. I flew on Turkish a few years ago from Seattle to Thessaloniki via Istanbul during spring break. For the most part, it was a good experience. The pluses are mostly with the in-flight experience. They use Dreamliner planes and serve tasty meals on all flights, including my short haul flights to and from Greece. The IFE system has extensive entertainment and they give all passengers an amenity bag on long haul flights. Lastly, the baggage allowance is generous as you can check in 2 bags. I do also want to bring up some items to consider booking on Turkish. My flight to Istanbul was nearly a hour late, but I still made my connection. Try not to book flights with short layovers. Also some of the connections have long layovers to destinations in the Middle East and Central Asia with flights arriving at odd hours. You may want to consider doing a stopover in Istanbul instead, which Turkish has a good program for. Lastly, gate security in Istanbul is extensive. So expect a thorough check of your carryon items before your flight. Overall, I enjoyed flying on Turkish. It is a well run airline with good fares to Europe and a great in-flight experience. However, you should consider travel time, especially layovers and the amount of backtracking needed to get to your destination when deciding whether to book.

    We flew Turkish Airlines from Madrid to Seattle in 2025, via Istanbul, and we had a great…read moreexperience. Our layover was long enough to be able to get to our next gate, and yet short enough to feel like we weren't wasting time. The flight was frankly luxurious compared to other long international flights. We flew to South America yearly for a while, and the economy experience on Turkish Airlines was like the Business Class experience on the unnamed airline to Montevideo. There were always two options for the meals. My wife was able to get gluten-free meals. The help staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It may well have been the best long flight experience in my life.

    Had amazing experience flying from Seattle to Helsinki to my home country Latvia with Finnair…read more Finnair expanded their flights and I was happy to see that I can fly trough Helsinki instead of Frankfurt to my home country out of Seattle because layover was shorter and it's also only 1 hour flight from Helsinki to Riga. Finnair partner up with British airways business lounge and it was very decent food and drinks (compare what I had with Lufthansa last year few celery sticks and a cookie). The lounge wasn't so big and one can hear some rude people speaking loud on their phones but it had a nice view of the runway. Our flight was on time and I was settling in my Business class seat after short boarding process. They welcomed me with the drink ( I choose their signature blueberry juice and Northern Blush cocktail -must try) and they also provide amenity kit (which was disappointing) It didn't had toothbrush or any socks, also their cream had very bad smell and texture. I hope they will improve that. The wireless phone charger didn't work for me because my phone has a case and it was not picking it up. Pillow blanket and pad were provided, also I noticed that I didn't got any slippers because when I was leaving the plane I saw many people had same slippers. Food was very good on the way there. I had for an appetizer crab meat with mayo mousse, caprese salad and nice piece of salmon with veggies. For dessert I had raspberry tart with tea. And plenty of blueberry juice- thats my favorite! (Unfortunately food on the way back wasn't great. They ran out of their signature drink Northern Blush at Helsinki which is Finnair hub!!! Smocked salmon on the way back was too salty and too smocked. Weird food options like shrimp quiche for breakfast or pork dinner which is not so appealing even to person that doesn't have any dietary restrictions. Both breakfast and dinner were bad, breakfast looked poor and tasted poor and dinner I couldn't even eat. Also why to serve cauliflower as a side on a long haul flights). Important to note seat doesn't recline but it lay flat! So you can't adjust it for a recliner like on other planes. Also belt is like in a car. But it didn't bothered me because I could adjust leg part of the seat but not the back. Entertainment was good and they had a lot of good new movies available. I wasn't bored at all! I watch Missis Harris goes to Paris (what an amazing inspirational movie) and The unbearable weight of massive talent. Bed was cozy and I had 4 h nap and woke up to breakfast. Hour and a half before landing in Helsinki they served us Breakfast which was very generous. It had cheese & ham, croissant, bread muffin, fruits, omelette, yogurt and mini jam. I was full and ready to spend 6 h layover at Helsinki! (Originally was 1h40m but then they changed it) Enjoyed my flight and definetely will consider again. Hopefully they will keep their good pricing compare to Swiss and Lufthansa!

    I recently flew with Finnair from Seattle, WA to Vilnius, Lithuania; it was a wonderful experience…read morefrom start to finish. I was a bit skeptical at first as I had originally booked with British Air, only to find out that the flights were operated by Finnair. Thankfully, there was clear communication regarding flight details once booked. Onboard, the cabin crew were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring all passengers were comfortable.The meals served were well proportioned for "airline food." You must try their signature blueberry juice! There was a slight delay departing Seattle, but I had no issues with my connecting flight in Helsinki. All of my other flights took off on time, and we arrived a few minutes early each time. The only drawback is with luggage. My particular ticket was for carry-on luggage only. Finnair has a max combined weight of 8kg (~17.5 lbs), which can be difficult to meet with most suitcases. I used a light-weight travel backpack and just barely made the cutoff. Overall, Finnair exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them for anyone traveling from Seattle, WA to Vilnius, Lithuania. I will be flying with Finnair again!
