LitchfieldParkCruisers Posted December 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I am flying into Seattle to leave on an Alaskan cruise in May and looks like Alaska airlines has the best rates. I've never flown with them before. Has anyone ever had any good, bad, etc...experiences with them? Any info is appreciated. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluerinselady Posted December 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I flew about 5 years ago - anchorage to Vancouver - couldn't fault them. I see they also fly from Hawaii to anchorage . Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Vic Posted December 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have flown them many times. They are an excellent airline! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokergirl34 Posted December 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Alaska is my preferred airline. I always look there first. They have the best mileage/visa plan as far as i am concerned. (Yearly BOGO, money+miles flights, etc) Sent from my SM-G550T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted December 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) This probably belongs to West coast Departure board, but being from Seattle, Alaska is also my preferred airline. They partner with a lot of other airlines, and have a few sales per year, buy miles, get miles free. Because of their partnering, I have been able to fly business class to Australia and Europe (this year on Vista) with miles. Also, since I have their credit card, I get one bag free.

bcccattle Posted December 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Way better than southwest in my opinion Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckysll Posted December 9, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I connect through Seattle when I fly. Alaska is my favourite airline. Great customer service. They have a price guarantee that they will match a lower price and I used it recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJs mom Posted December 9, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm flying American to Dallas then Alaska Air to Seattle, doing an Alaska cruise from there. Did the same thing a few years ago but did Alaska Air to Anchorage. Flights on Alaska Air were very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldiep Posted December 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2016 We use Alaska often, even to Hawaii. Usually on time. We are happy with it. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-shel Posted December 9, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2016 As Northwesterners, they're our preferred airline. Woudn't hesitate to book with them - especially if they have the best price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbee Posted December 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Still the best airline in the United States. Simple, straight forward, never an issue with things. It's a seat that's no bigger than any other seat, but the staff just make it all work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbgd Posted December 9, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If you're considering premium cabin then they're really lagging behind the other carriers now in FC. 10yrs ago they were above average but other airlines have improved their game and AS haven't really done anything other than trim back service. Never personally flown them in anything other than FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted December 9, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Used to fly them from BOI but with the American US Air merge and now the Virgin merge I can't fly them to LAX or something like that. Yes their First Class or Business class (only 2 class service) does not compare but as an airline their hard product is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never personally flown them in anything other than FC. Hopefully the takeover of Virgin America will raise Alaska's first class standards; for the time being VX's first class product is among the best in single-aisle planes in the US.

em-sk Posted December 10, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I fly them regular. Of the US airlines I frequent they are the best one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare texasstar Posted December 11, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I agree. They are the most civilized airline if flying in coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted December 11, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's our preferred airline! Great customer service and the most consistent and quality routine flights to Alaska. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
