TRIP REPORT | Alaska Airlines - 737 900ER - Fairbanks (FAI) to Seattle (SEA) | First Class
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Alaska has one of the largest fleets of 737s worldwide. It's their workhorse all over North America.
This flight was honestly one of my favorites with them. Being able to see the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) from my window was absolutely incredible! It's a sight that I definitely recommend seeing some time. Fairbanks was a charming city as well.

watch 10:16 for amazing northern lights action
QFS Aviation Good afternoon.
@QFSAviation Are you from Seattle or New York City?
QFS Aviation Nice
QFS Aviation Wow! I remember being at FAI, I got Starbucks and a gift there, but didn’t see any of the northern lights unfortunately. Great work!
Omaha has cool sunsets
I believe a q&a video will be a very happy addition to your videos list
Throw me some q’s 😏
@@QFSAviation why is SANspotter mentioning you that much?
Great drone footage at the beginning that was cool!
Dude I swear your camera work is top notch! Keep it up!
You would be safer in Alaska than New York, also that northern lights clip was awesome!
One of the best flights I have seen, what a gift to be able to see the Northern Lights from the plane! Thank you for sharing your travels, many greetings and much success in everything :)!
“So for my safety, I’ll be flying back to New York”
Me: 😬
It’s better than Florida at least
Yandel Crespo yeah right now it is but during March and April, New York had the most cases out of any COUNTRY of the world so that’s a yikes
I don’t think he should’ve been that worried. He’s from Long Island not the city
My county (Suffolk) was top 5 in most cases in the country, but at the time nobody was aware of it. There were some rumors going around that the county would be shut down to outsiders, and since it’s my home (where family and close ones are) I decided to cut the trip short and not take any chances
@@QFSAviation smart Q, it's good that you've maintained a steady flow of content for us
this Q re-view is made possible by a chicken sandwich and a brownie, this quickly became one of my favorite videos to re-watch. so sit back, grab a coke with ice and a fruit and cheese platter and watch the northern lights, then hit the like and the sub button. no doubt about this video earning a well-done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!
Safe move on the food mate !! It is hard to stuff up a cheese platter !!! Some great photography !! Well done as always...really enjoyed it !!
Given what went down in New York with COVID, maybe you should have stayed in Fairbanks for your safety. Very good vid, thanks for taking us along.
The timelapse was absolutely beautiful quintin! I hope to visit Alaska myself one day! Great vid and happy flying
R u livery etc. O that litl air field.
Outstanding Trip Report once again QFS! I certainly enjoyed it especially with the northern lights featured!
Remember that Mr leech & the flying nun,? Ahaha
Love Alaska love Alaska airlines love the video
Awesome stuff dude. Loved it.
the cabin light looks beautiful
When you enter in the Flights it was like Awesome Aircraft... And Aurora lights One day i will also visit ..Good Video
As always, I love watching your videos, they’re amazing, especially seeing the northern lights.. I’ve been to Fairbanks before, but I wasn’t that lucky about the aurora! haha
Nice video good to see aviation getting back
Ooh, old livery! Don't get to see those anymore. I should make a video on how I was able to hack my Alaska miles so much that they closed my account! LOL
- Red
i fly up to ketchikan quite a bit, they're always using those old liveries! i don't think i've ever flown a 737 w/ the new livery when traveling to alaska.
Went ahead to the aurora borealis, that time lapse was just beautiful.
I've always wanted to visit Alaska. Looks amazing!
Phil Lin I live in alaska
I live there and it's a kinda boring place after a while, fun to visit for sure tho
Woow those lights...amazing trip report!👏
thanks for the trip report...i was in fairbanks when i was in the airforce reserves...flew up to Eielson Air Force Base from grissom afb indiana on a KC135A..which is the trip i got some cool refueling shots...took the base bus to FAI where a old friend picked me up...drove up to see the pipeline...things have changed alot over the years
Must’ve been a whole different town back then Dan! They’ve really renovated that pipeline as well
@@QFSAviation thanks..yes...put my name on the pipeline to
So cool!
@@QFSAviation yes
Great work as always! I wish I could be there 😫
i love all your videos
To fly in Alaska and see an aurora borealis is my dream.
Shiteater place.
Also love the background music that you use for your vids. Wondering where you get those. I would want to listen to them too.
Best trip report ever. Good job!!! 💖
10:16 THAT AMAZING
Great video man!
Great! I’m enjoying your vids.
Greschlm?
Awesome D Pitched Motor!! Sounds like a Montgomery Hydraulic Elevator Motor
QFS Aviation..: I think you should do a video trip on Alaska airlines again going from SEA to FAI nonstop prior to winter time and see it for myself and others for experience in Fairbanks…
a great vid again
How did you get from ANC to FAI? Good choice to preselect your meal since you had that bout with food poisoning earlier.The ending was a surprise--seeing as you wanted to get back to Long Island as quickly as possible,figured you'd be taking a redeye from Seattle nonstop but here you are,at baggage claim,overnighting!
Wow That's Amazing
First, nice video
I really think you deserve more subscribers because your content is so amazing
Oh man, I would love to see the northern lights from a flight one day. Beautifully captured! What were your settings for that timelapse?
It was absolutely amazing! I’m surprised you haven’t seen them yet since you’re based up in Canada. I saw them in February from YWG-YVR on an early morning flight. Settings used for that shot were 2” f/2.8. I can’t remember the ISO since that was on auto, but I could check if you want. Body was A7r3 with a 16-15f2.8 GM 👌
@@QFSAviation yeah ironic isn't it haha, I don't do much flying up north, most of my flights out of Canada are either down to the states or westbound to Asia. Thanks so much for the info! It's all good, appreciate it!
Amazing vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seen the Northern Lights lots of times while working night shift up in Canada. But would be nice to see it up in a plane.
Really spectacular footage of the aurora borealis before you wisely decided to get back home to shelter in place. Thank you for yet another really enjoyable trip report. I wonder: Do you think the F fare is worth the cost on AS? I'm now convinced that AS's F product is totally uncompetitive, considering: (1) unimpressive seating; (2) phony IFE (handing out iPads - really???); (3) utterly disappointing catering. I remember being served hot meals in AS's F cabin (admittedly, a long time ago). Am I the only guy who thinks AS needs to do a lot better for an F fare? For me, their Premium Economy is a pretty good deal for longer flights - great seat pitch, earlier boarding, free alcoholic drinks. AND you can buy the same fruit-and-cheese platter that you were served in F for about $6 (less if you pay w/an AS BofA VISA card).
Hii nice video! I have a question, which camera do you use to record?
All of that info is in the description 😁
13 degrees? That’s warm for FBX in the winter.
Earlier that day it was -27F. I tried flying my drone but I lost all feeling in my hands after filming a few shots
Great video
Great!
I got chills 10:18
you definitely make me want to add the Northern Lights to my bucket list. hell I'd like to go anywhere right now if it wasn't for this covid-19 shit. this the first time you ever showed getting your bag off the carousel? haha or maybe I'm just goofy. anyway well done on your report thanks for sharing, be safe my friend
The day you took this trip was the day before all schools shut down
You should go to a University of Nebraska Omaha hockey game this winter once this virus clears up!!!
your plane was produced in 2012 which is newer but Alaska still had the old logo back then
Ded I Kate d drugsmugs. Intltermnlsux
Yes, good idea to fly during coronavirus
Could you do a trip report on French Bee airlines? I’ve searched them up and can’t find any. Kinda weird but it’s be interesting to finally see a actual trip report like yours for that airline.
I love this
It's a super vidéo I keeo watching it twice a day.You're a very lucky person.Even Seattle looks great.You're a pro.Maximum respect.
I also highly recommend you answer the question of what u do for a living. Bc it’s odd u can buy this many first class trips
Buy? More than likely he has mega-miles piled up in whatever FF programs he suscribes to--willing to bet he uses miles to pay for many flights
nice video,,i like your trip report video
Thanks!
THAT was AWESOME! Those Northern lights were super cool. Keep up the great vids! Please Love this comment I would really appreciate it! 😁😁😁
Hey Q ... good move on eating in the restaurant ahead of time 👍🏻. Did the meal taste as good as it looked? Awesome job capturing the Northern Lights 😉. I have to say, I’m not at all impressed whatsoever with Alaskan Airlines First Class meals ... very cheap and it seems the only thing they know is chicken sandwich, chips, an a piece of chocolate. 🙄. Stay safe!
There's not much standardization when it comes to airline class categories. A lot depends on which countries are involved as well as the duration of the flight, so the terms are not too meaningful. I recently watched a video of a Delta 2-hour domestic flight in first class, and it included full IFE and a delicious-looking steak dinner. Alaskan doesn't do IFE and you wouldn't trust their food, but it was still "first class".
I'm glad you made it home before the COVID-19 shutdown.
how did you get back to New York did you fly but not vlog it or did a cross country trip or something like that
Nice
Alaska *has* had airplanes with IFE built into the seats.......they just said "Virgin America" on the side for a while, and they've torn most of those seats out. A pity, too - their first class seats were ~baller~.
Very cool 👍 yes Alaska 😅😊😂awesome 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Well before the covid-19 pandemic on some flights I flew on Alaska there where IFE screens
damn this trip was my birthday, and the day everything shut down here in philly
Practically a flight into the pandemic lower 48. The last days before life changed.
I personally preferred the old livery. It brings back my childhood in Oregon and Washington. Now, it’s to different. They should have at least kept the font.
Wow many time you ride on Alaska Airlines! and do love Alaska Airlines?
love the video, have you ever considered doing voiceovers rather than sub
titles?
Can you detail your previous experience with the first class food or is there a video?
When not provided by IFE, please provide details of flight. Time, distance Time of day etc. thank you.
I wonder if I my dad flew that plane from Fairbanks to Seattle Bc he just went on a trip from Fairbanks to Seattle
March 12th, 2020 the day the sports world stopped due to COVID-19. Rudy Gobert for the Utah Jazz tested positive for the coronavirus the night before and the NBA suspended the season as a result. Then Donavan Mitchell tested positive and Harvard announced they were forfeiting sporting events then NCAA tournaments were from being held without spectators to being cancelled including NCAA March Madness and so one other professional sports suspending or delaying the start of the season as a result.
3:53 I can see the seats of the plane from the outside
Ever try ethihad or Singapore airlines's 1st class suits?
What do you do for a living? Bc it’s odd u can afford this many first class trips
It's changes
That’s a really long distance for a 3-hour flight
I always think about flight 261
Future video idea- SEA-BZN. (Seattle to Bozeman)
10:18 what song is that continuing after landing plz let me know
Whats your loyalty status with marriott?
Hello, did you pass immigration? I'm fighting from New Mexico. Do I need a passport ?
Visit To India 🇮🇳 After COVID-19
😀👍
And no tomato juice again? 🤔🤔
Fun fact: with covid 19 going on, Fairbanks int is now one of the busiest airports in the world.
You must mean Anchorage, right? They were THE busiest airport in the world for a couple days in April with cargo picking up due to covid.
Plot twist: He is a advertiser for Alaska Airlines.
Bob Roger sharp mithradates then there s wasilia
Im from Ketchikan
Why no one has a mask ?
Darrell Russell This was filmed in early March of this year, only when COVID really started spreading in the US.
Because this was filmed in early March, no mask orders or recommendations were in place
This was recorded just as the virus started getting bad so nobody realised that wearing a mask would possibly prevent the spread of the virus 🤦🏼♂️
Don't eat the sandwich
Gets 1998
fly to omaha sometime please everything is open here also you should join my instagram live streams sometime as well
bro u ask him this every video
@@liflyer0413 until he flies to omaha ill quit
@@liflyer0413 fly to Sioux falls and Rapid city if i were u it feels like pre covid19 pandemic there no social distancing no masks etc. Also you don't have to self quarantine if traveling to South Dakota.
@@liflyer0413 yes also a new soccer team in Omaha (Union Omaha) first home game August 1st at Werner Park #VivaBuhos

That job must be shitty right now during COVID-19 and during the winter

Quit deleting my comments man. Just answer the one question I desperately want
Great video except for the grammar issue. :-(
Thanks! Where was the grammar issue?
QFS Aviation thanks for your reply. Look at your text at 1:39.
Theory of Evolution does not believe in a creator. Rather it rejected a Super Natural being -- Almighty Allah -- the Originator and Creator of the universe and mankind.
The theory of Evolution means that there is an integral relation between all life, which is considered to have a common ancestor. This is the basic premise of Darwin.
His general theory is that the development of life from non--life is a basic fact.
Modern theory is Synthesis evolution stresses a purely naturalistic (undirect) " descent with modification".
This connotes that complex creature evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time as random genetic mutations occur with in an organism's genetic code. The beneficial mutations are preserved because they are an aid to survival. This process is called " natural selection".
The beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation.Beneficial mutations accrue over time, and the consequence is an entirely different organism,which is not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature.
Do you find any address of a creator in this theory? The current ideas on evolution are usually referred to as the Modern Synthesis.
The modern synthesis, also called the synthetic theory and the evolutionary synthesis, was the marriage of Mandelian genetics to Darwinian theories evolution.

So you can not bother and keep posting first class videos but not bother and answer questions
I think he is busy.
