Broke the wheels of my luggage. Should be more gentle with other peoples belongings. Very upset about needing a new suitcase before Christmas.

orgiginal scheduled flight ( 2.5 hours connection) was cancelled, was given option to rebook between a 1-hour connection or a next day flight. Missed connection flight, and decided to book last minute with an other airline.

Crew members were helpful and responsive. However, the toilet in the only main cabin bathroom didn’t work properly.

The ground crew were helpful, although it was unclear when the ETA would be so we had to wait for quite some time before being notified of when we will board. Our seats were also changed, and there were also duplicated seat numbers which cost an issue when we boarded. When this issue came up, the flight crew was even Snarky towards us that we did not check our seat number when it was already reassigned. There were no apologies from the flight crew at all, and it was very disappointing.

Check in Agent at SFO was indifferent, didn’t say hello , didn’t place priority Tag . We were Travelling First Class. No foodas it’s a short flight. Still you could have offered some thing better than Biscuits/ Popcorn. They announced that luggage will arrive in 20 minutes after we reach the gate. First Piece came 35 + Minutes after I walked out of the Plane

Damaged my luggage. Insisted to check in my small luggage now it’s scratched and dented.

I flew from San Francisco to Honolulu on Alaska Airlines codeshare with Hawaiian Airlines, with a Hawaiian Airlines plane and crew. The flight was well organized, including boarding and deboarding. The crew was professional. Unfortunately, the charging ports at my seat and the seat next to me were broken. The Hawaiian airline terminal was a pleasant surprise compared to the rest of Honolulu airport.

No entertainment and one bag of pretzel/beverage at the beginning of a 5 plus hour flight.

The hosts were excellent !!! We had the BEST time. The pilot was great. Super great. Nicccce landing. Cheers. See YA’LL again sooooon.

My seat was broken and there was tape over the light/call buttons...but overall things were smooth
