“Kansas City to San Diego - very good experience”
Review of Alaska Airlines


Reviewed 18 September 2018

Our extended family of seven flew direct from Kansas City International Airport to San Diego International Airport in late July. We had never flown Alaska Airlines before (we typically fly Southwest) and were curious to see what the experience was like. The plane was smaller than we had expected -- just two passengers on each side of the aisle. But the plane was spotlessly clean. And the overall experience was very good. On time. Efficient. Customer-friendly. Would definitely fly Alaska again.

When I travel I have options, with three major airports within driving distance from where I live (BWI, DCA, IAD). I recently discovered that Alaska Airlines flies many of the same routes as the larger, established carriers (American, Delta, United), and often at a lesser price.

Alaska Airlines has all the amenities: free entertainment, power outlets at the seats, etc., and it has a wide selection of non-stop flights between the east and west coasts, which I'm partial to.

Alaska Airlines is one of my preferred carriers.

We checked our baggage and I had my CPAP breathing machine and my wife had her purse and a framed picture that we placed in the overhead bin. Along comes the typical passenger who refuses to check her oversize bag and wants to stuff her bag in our space. We tell her that there is no space for her bag because of a breakable item. The flight attendant arrives to see what the problem is and makes us remove my machine and place it in my leg space because she refused to have her bag checked. We payed extra for premium leg space but my leg space was compromised because Alaska won't enforce their baggage regulations. They should have checked her baggage. To make matters worse, she was not seated in our section, she was in the back of the plane !!

The flight was very good and there is plenty of leg room on the plane. While the flight was long, there was good service throughout the flight. We arrived on time and our luggage arrived without any issues.
