Summer Slumps or Bad Luck?
Curious to see how everyone’s travel has been going with Alaska this summer?
Of my 3 of 4 flights since May, I’ve had connection issues every time. I know the summer is busier and connections are pretty tight, but it’s gotten to the point where an hour is probably not enough?
For context, I’ve had flights with multiple legs (no direct flights for my destination) and each case I’ve been delayed due to mechanical issues or outside factors.
All flights have had connections as long as 1.5 hours but they weren’t long enough to keep me from being stranded and having to either fly into a neighboring airport 2 hours away or stay the night in said city (with Alaska compensation of course).
Just curious to see if people are experiencing the same thing or if it’s just my flight and routes. (Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Burbank, Dallas, etc).
