So I've probably flown with Alaska 15 times in my life. Saturday was one of the worst experiences I've experienced in all of my travels. We had only a 45 minutes flight from Portland Oregon to Seattle Washington with a 45 minute layover. A okay so far. We landed on time in Seattle. But stood on the plane for 10-15 minutes to unload. It's okay still. We know our gate # already.... We catch 3 trains to get to our gate, just to find it's been changed...... Yes. It could have been avoided had I checked the departure board... But we just printed out boarding passes 55 minutes ago in Portland......... Well long story short, we had to back track two trains. Still have 20 minutes before departure..... Wrong. We needed to catch a shuttle to get to tarmack.... And we need to be there 5 minutes earlier. Service was dude as all get out and sent us away to customer service. We finally find them and there is two reps for 12 people in line. After 20 minutes we get to the helpful (as she was allowed to be) young lady behind the counter. She did what she could, which was NOTHING. Here supervisor denied everything she tried to offer us. We purchased the tickets on Priceline, ticket saver it's called... Use it or loose it basically. We missed the plane, nothing she could do. She offered us one way tickets the next day discounted to 458$$ each.......We are stuck in Seattle, due in Pittsburgh /DC for a football game the next morning. UNITED Airlines saved us with one way tickets to Pittsburgh TODAY $136.
