The counter staff at Ravn are very polite and helpful. However, their flights are so often delayed and the flight attendants very rarely inform passengers what's going on. I'm on a flight back to Anchorage that was supposed to leave at 430pm and we are only now starting up the engines at almost 5pm. This isn't the first time I've had this happen leaving Kenai, but it really irks me because I have another flight to catch past security that leaves at 6:20, but boards at 5:40. If we had left on time it would not be an issue but because Ravn is late so often (not weather related or gate availability related) I'm likely not going to make my flight and possibly lose my rental car. I think I'll slfly Grant Aviation moving forward, this is ridiculous. read more

I had a flight out of Anchorage little over a week ago after being discharged from the hospital where I had had surgery for breast cancer the day before. While waiting for my flight, I noted that there was a belligerent, obviously drunk, man in the area. Boarded the plane and was all settled when that same man got on and sat next to me, still obviously drunk. He proceeded to talk to me, calling me " Sir ", which, being female since birth, I objected to. Long story short, they pulled ME off the plane, then we're going to put BOTH of us together on the next flight! After the crew talked to the other passengers, I was able to re-board. I'm a female disabled USAF vet with severe PTSD. The crew was rude to me for the duration of the flight. It is not right to allow an obviously intoxicated person on aircraft. I will never fly RAVN if I can av read more

I have now flown Ravn air multiple times and the only reason I would ding a couple stars is because they are late constantly. I get that its Alaska and weather plays a big deal but its to consistent even with nice weather. The staff however is always super friendly both at the counter and in the air. Plus the treat here is the signature Ravn cookie they serve you on board or upon de-planning. The seats are not super comfortable and based on the size of the plan kinda cramped, but their isn't a lot of choices when you are flying to some of these smaller cities in the state. What I do like in their Anchorage terminal is that you don't have to go through TSA if your not checking a bag and cuts down on the time you have to spend and wait at the airport. The only other thing I would mention as a negative and not sure if this is true but on my last flight from Kenai to Anchorage we almost missed our flight because we hadn't checked in for our flight at the airport an hour in advance. Luckily for us the manager working the counter was flexible because the other employee was being not only rude but inflexible as well. read more

It's the only flight provider for a lot of locations that fly 7 days a week so you are forced to use them. Personnel are either VERY qualified and great, but most are the dumbest people you have ever met in your life. The last four times I've flown with them, or family has flown with them, they have lost every single one of our bags all in different ways. That is hard to do, even if you are trying to do that. If you have to use them, my suggestion is to look for the ONE person who isn't blankly staring at a computer screen or out a window and wait for them even if it takes you longer to get checked in. Your review will be better than mine hopefully. Don't get Dee Dee'd in Kenai because your bags will go to the four corners of the world before eventually finding their way home. That will be confusing for anyone that hasn't flown out of Kenai, I apologize, but everyone who had Dee Dee will understand and cry silently read more

I like the ENA (Kenai) Ravn Alaska ticket counter service. ENA is at the Kenai Municipal Airport and has provided no-hassle travel and on-time departures during my 8-month commuter travel experience to ANC (Anchorage). I use pre-paid commuter passes for my flights, and when I need to change flights it has been a trouble-free process. Making my reservations by phone to the Statewide ticketing agents is easy and accurate (must call ticketing center when using commuter passes). I recommend that you use TripCase, the Smartphone App for convenient records of your Ravn Alaska trip itinerary. Trip reminders, schedule changes, or viewing alternate future flights for your trip, are available via the TripCase App. read more

See all

I fly Ravn once a year for an annual business trip. Flights have always been reliable for me and the Kenai staff in particular are always kind. Even my fellow passengers have been helpful, offering dinner suggestions and must-see attractions. In addition to Kenai, I have enjoyed Ravn flights to Homer, Kodiak, Bethel, and back to Anchorage. read more

If I could do negative stars I would! Worst customer service EVER. I arrived 40 minutes before flight time, stood in line for about 5 minutes, and was denied check in because I didn't check in 40 minutes before flight. Mind you, the Kenai, AK, airport is tiny, no TSA. You just check in and board when they announce the flight. I didn't even have luggage!! Not another penny. read more

Always an experience never to forget, when flying this airline. Anchorage has some rude staff. Kenai has good staff. Planes are always dirty looking inside. Recent flight was full. They had to remove luggage as they were overweight. No offer to deliver. Had to pick up the next day. read more

I am SO DISGUSTED with the service given in Kenai, Alaska on August 4, 2021. My family checked into RAVN with more than ample enough time. She checked a regular suitcase and a small fish box through to her final destination of Chicago. 1 flight from Kenai nonstop to Anchorage, 1 flight nonstop Anchorage to Chicago. She had a carry-on that is standard for commercial plane size but not for RAVN, so what they do is check it to Anchorage and you pick it up; just like you would gate check your bag on a commercial plane. But what they DID was bump luggage in favor of fish boxes. The amount of huge fish boxes was mind blowing. This practice needs to have a number or weight restriction per person so all passengers get their belongings shipped. So when she got to Anchorage her carry-on bag was not there. Come to find out they had filled the plane with so many fish boxes they put luggage and more fish boxes on a truck and drove it to Anchorage. Well needless to say none of her luggage made the connecting flights out of Anchorage to her final destination, as I'm sure many others did not make it either. But the absolute worst part was she is now in Anchorage and her bag that she had as a carry-on is who-knows-where. So she had to board her connecting flight not knowing where her carry-on was. Then to top it off the lady at the ticket counter in Kenai was sooooo rude and unprofessional she should be fired. I WILL go back and get her name, but I'm sure it will do no good, but if she treats passengers like that she needs to find another job. I can absolutely assure you I will NEVER fly on RAVN and I will discourage everyone I know to do the same. They recently went bankrupt and got bailed out. Gee I wonder why; because this is the same kind of service that was given before absolutely nothing has changed. People put things in a carry-on that are precious to them. She now has no way to trace this bag because there was no regular numbered luggage tag on it as it was gate-checked. I have called RAVN baggage and they will not answer the phone nor return a call. They should be ashamed of how they treat people and manage their service. NEVER, I MEAN NEVER AGAIN WILL I OR MINE EVER FLY RAVN. read more

They've always been great and willing to work with their customers. Sure the planes are a little on the older side, but there's no faster way to get from Anchorage to Kenai for that price. Rain or shine, winter or summer, they've always gotten me home safe. Thank you for being there for us! read more

Transferring from a larger airline to a regional one in the same day is a great reminder that local businesses are the ones that really know a city, and the Ravn desk staff made my arrival seem like more than just the "dropoff" in Anchorage on the first leg of my trip. (Though if you find Southern accents as refreshing as an ice-cold sweet tea on a summer day, you could do worse than Delta.) My last trip to Alaska was a hybrid work-vacation, and the Ravn representatives I spoke with in person were willing to answer questions that helped make the vacation part a lot more fun. Even if it's just a nod toward a popular restaurant or brewery, people who live local always know the best spots, and it was great to experience that as soon as I got off the plane. Highly recommend! read more

Ravn went out of business in the pandemic. They had provided such poor service - that was a blessing. I used to book early flights for anchorage connections because you never knew if Ravn would cancel the flight (without explanations) and I would have to drive to Anchorage to catch my Alaska Airlines flight. They desperately needed new management that would refocus the company on quality service. After they restarted, they had a significant improvement. Their website now works better and there phone service is much improved. However they still will cancel flights without notice and they started charging baggage fees. I had a Kenai gate agent tell me I had to pay a baggage fee because I was not flying first class on my Alaska Airlines connection! I said that is ridiculous (I'm gold 75 and club 49). She said pay or I will be denied boarding!! My next flight I asked to check my bags onto my Alaska flight from anchorage. The agent said the flight was closed ! I said "it is 1 hour before departure - the flight is not closed". She decided to check my bag with the Alaska connection. Ravn is still so undependable and has incompetent agents that you cannot depend on them, I now fly Grant. Grant planes are tiny, but they don't cancel flights and they have first class costumer service. Most slope workers have been forced to which to Grant. Ravn still has lots of problems. read more

This airline is simply terrible. Avoid it like the plague. I've flown Ravn (previously ERA) probably 50 times due to it being the only flight provider in my town for a number of years. Since being sold and becoming Ravn it has become horrible. No less than 60% of my flights have been late, regardless of the weather, time of day, or passenger load. They will always find a way to make you late. Drive, hitchhike or swim before you waste your money with Ravn. read more

Ravn is never on time. Their planes are always 'delayed.' I've missed so many connecting flights because their shoddy delays. Worst airline ever. read more

Horrible customer service. Cancelled my flight with less than 24 hours notice with no compensation making me miss my holiday plans. Use Grant Air or any other airline possible. read more

Extremely rude counter service by lead person Tammy behind the counter. As a frequent traveller on National and international airlinea, hands down the worst counter service . This does not include baggage and other issues. Better to fly out from other areas read more

This airline has been incredibly helpful for my travels within Alaska. I've enjoyed how easy and stress free their boarding process is as well as how friendly their staff is. My last flight got in ahead of schedule and that is always a huge plus. Can't recommend this airline enough. read more

Terrible service and arbitrary rules. Arrive 29 minutes before your flight? Too bad, you aren't getting on even though there's no TSA, you have no bags to check, there's 10 empty seats, and the plane is 15 minutes behind schedule. This actually happens all the time out of kenai. Fly Grant Aviation instead and spare yourself the wannabe real airline bs. read more

I use this airline to go from Kenai to Anchorage in frequently. I have never had any issues with them I have found that they do their job they are polite there quick and efficient and you get a cookie at the end of the flight. This afternoon however while in Anchorage waiting for a 4 o'clock flight to Kenai I had the misfortune to watch an older couple probably 70s be absolutely rude to the attendance at the boarding desk at gate a 14 and this is Sunday the 29th. It was a couple in their early 70s who had had something going on with their flight. They were so rude to the attendance at the boarding gate. They kept trying to place blame and kept saying "you" to the young woman who was trying to help them ..."you made this mistake" " you didn't put us on " and I really doubt that she was the one who attended them in the morning in fact I thought I heard her say she had not been. And the husband was jotting down names and demanding the name of the supervisor ..."I want to call her" etc. etc. they really only made asses of themselves, everyone else was observing it and rolling their eyes. I want to say kudos to Raven staff who remained calm took their abuse which I don't know if I would have and tried continually to help these people get on the next flight to Homer. Yay Ravn!! read more
