Fly for All - Alaska Airlines

Minus -10 your app is useless

This was generally a nightmare for me. On the first leg, from Seattle to Maui, the SeaTac airport services were perfect. But once landing in Maui- it was horrible. No empathy. No assistance from the gate to baggage. No airport assistance either. I was simply dumped at the gate and told that I was on my own - they actually laughed when I requested a skycap for assistance. “We don’t have anything like that” the gate agent told me with a chuckle. It was scary. I had to rely on a Good Samaritan to help me to the baggage claim and help me out to my hired driver - which was on the opposite side of the airport. Once headed back to Seattle, both ends of the trip were a nightmare. The agent at check in - when I asked for assistance - not only refused to help, but threatened to call security when I insisted that she help. Rude, insensitive and mean. Again, some Southwest passengers were enraged at what they saw, and helped me to my gate and through TSA. TSA greeted me with - “you’re going to have to stand up sir.” You’re not getting out of here without us scanning your seat. I’m a man in a Wheelchair. If I could stand, I wouldn’t be in a wheelchair. There was no assistance to get down the jetway - which was steep and impossible to navigate with my carryon. Still no empathy. No help. A Good Samaritan helped me, but not without pushback from the woman taking boarding passes. Again I heard, “Sir, you’re on your own. Don’t fly if you can’t handle your responsibility as a passenger”. Once landed in Seattle at 8:40pm - again, dumped at the top of the jetway, no help to get to the tram or to baggage claim. I called “Prospect Wheelchair” and they told me that Alaska is to handle my situation. They said they are only contracted with Delta and American. Still no assistance from Alaska. Again, a Good Samaritan saw my situation and got my bags, got a cart, and ushered me to the ride share area. The First Class Flight attendants were terrific. Callie and Kimberly were sensitive, knew it was my first time traveling since I was injured three years ago - and treated me very well. The flight experience was pleasant and efficient. But the promised help in the airports, assistance to get my bags in from the curb, checked and help to get to the gate was atrocious. The Maui airport Alaska employeees were rude, if not downright mean. And the airport employees refused to help me. They said they could push me in an airport wheelchair (what am I supposed to do with my own wheelchair

I totally appreciate and support the development of this app. Every airline or airport should have a similar app. The highly visible communicate icons are super!

Easy to red and understand. Congratulation 🙏

I’ve flown Alaska Airlines exclusively for over forty years. I was always a believer that it was the best airline ever! That has not been true for the last four years, I realize that we went through the pandemic and all that but that has nothing to do with your service from the website to the actual flights. I don’t know what has changed, whether it’s corporate or what but this airline is a disaster compared to what it used to be! The website is pretty much useless, I fly with my dog between Anchorage and Phoenix at least twice a year. You want to charge me $15 for calling to get help arranging a flight yet even with help it takes an hour to set up and confirm my seat as well as my dogs kennel on the same flight. Several years ago I had to open a new frequent flier account because my original account was not showing. My last flight the lady that was helping me found it. She added the two together. I arranged a flight from Phx to Anc and had to change my reservation because of a bereavement. I was assured my miles would be refunded, they weren’t and aren’t. I called and my account number was changed, I can’t even login now! I’ve tried to be patient but my patience is wearing thin. You are about to lose a very loyal customer that’s used your services for over forty years.

It’s just for buying tickets. I wanted to verify our reservations.

It is very good! I have been traveling by myself since i was 9 to Alaska, and ever since i got this app a few days before my flight to Alaska this year, i actually got to my gate earlier, giving me more time to let my contacts know that i would be on a plane. I do have a suggestion though. I would like it if you added more games because it can get boring pretty quickly.

Very easy. If your child cannot read , they can push a button and it will be read for them. Step by step from entering the airport to exiting the airport.

Thx for adding listening to safety rules by the flight crew. This could save someone’s life.
