My wife and I are flying Alaska airlines to San Diego from Florida, she’s always a nervous wreck when flying a different airline for the first time but you guys really put her at ease thank y’all!
I've never flown with Alaskan Airlines and I think it's pretty cool that they do their miles a little differently than other airlines. Very thorough review - thanks for sharing!
It really is! It was my first time but I have a lot of respect for this airline. They were great to me and If I ever have another opportunity I will fly with them again!
Chews to Explore, 👑Thank you for the informative video, as always! Since starting our travel journey, we are still trying to figure out which airline is best, so we look forward to your flight reviews. We have never flown Alaska Airlines, so it is good to know what to expect if we ever have the chance. It was great to know about reserving food ahead of time. We appreciate you. HAPPEA 2022 to you two! 💛
Thanks for tuning in, this was my first time but it was a great airline. We are based on the east coast and never had the opportunity before. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for supporting my channel. I am glad you found the video helpful! I would truly appreciate it if you would subscribe to my channel as well to see all of my latest travel content!
Hi, great info,thanks a lot! So I can buy the extra check in baggage at the check in counter or online in advance? (I could not see anything online to choose from) Obviously that is crucial since the first class tickets are way more expensive.
You’re only entitled to one checked bag for free if you’re flying to or from Alaska and if you are a member of 49 club. You must be in Alaska State resident to qualify for 49 club.
Does Alaska Air strict on the carry size ? Do they make people put the luggage to see if fit? I bought a new luggage but it is bigger than the 45 linear (22x14x9), mine is around 47.5 linear. So you think it’s ok or they will make me check in my carryon?
Since flying saver you can’t choose your seats, were you guys able to sit together? I’m going to be flying with a family of four don’t know if upgrading to main is worth it.
Thank you so much for checking out my video and watching it. We booked saver, took 4 flights with them this trip and, all sat next to each other. So actually with Saver you have a "limited" seat selection which means you can select certain seats together, but it is a limited, smaller range of seats that are available to you compared to other tiers. Ultimately, we were able to sit together. When you go to book the ticket, you can see what seats are available/if there are four seats together in the limited Saver option. If that's unavailable, then I would upgrade.
What are the dimensions of the backpacks you guys used as personal items? I have a Beis mini weekender and I just can’t decide if it’s too big. I believe it’s roughly 16x16x8. It was ok on a Southwest flight, but I have never flown Alaska Air.
Hi, May i know about the checked-in baggage, do we pay together with the flight ticket or pay separately, It's my first time booking with Alaska Airline
I do not travel with a checked bag so I am not sure based on my experience. However, you can purchase it at the time of the booking or usually it is more expensive at the airport
Seriously! I have a different view. We went to visit our son , who had moved there a year ago. Very disappointed. We paid a tremendous amount for a tickets. We live on a fixed income. Extremely tight. I was taken back when they told us we had to share a small coke. You give less, and expect more. Not happy!
So sorry to hear about your experience. I appreciate the comment that you left on my video as well. I can only speak on the experience that I had on my two flights. Being objective, its not Alaska's fault that all the ticket prices right now are ridiculous. Its every single airline. All airlines are trying to get all the money back they lost during covid which is horrible
@@Holabella I hate when airlines do that and take away the screens. American Airlines does it as well and I wish they just kept the screens instead of using my phone
We live in a world and we live a life Not Perfect., After flying for over 4 decades, I've trying several airlines that take me to & bring me from wherever I go, locally & internationally From a group of 6 different airlines that I've being used Only 2 airlines was the best for me & my family. *Mexicana and Alaska* Unfortunately 1, No longer exist.,but It's coming back to business in a short time I'm glad Alaska still flying to Mexico, but we need more than 1 or 2 Dally direct flights. A flight every 4 or 6 hrs. it'll be Fine, for Not to live & arrive Too late or Too early. That's my Only issue for Alaska Airlines flying to Mexico. "Hello Alaska" If people do not choose Alaska when flying to MX, is because It Only has 1:or 2 flight Schedules Dally. Specially for families when taking elders & or infants. Yes I've chosen Other airlines when budget is an issue,., but Then Again,,, Good Service is my Priority Now with Alaska Credit Card, Rewards is Helping to Stretch our Budget a bit better., Thanks 🙏🏼to Alaska. for offers me the best price in "the economic flights" Without messing with Your Excellent 👌🏼 Service.

I loved Alaska Airlines! They’re aesthetic is pretty dope and I had a comfortable flight with them.

Glad you got something from the video
Alaska Airlines typically offers meals in First Class. That was my experience on a recent two-hour flight from Seattle to San Diego.
Yes I believe with first class you do get meals regardless, thank you for the information and update!
Great TIPS! Than you for sharing your experiences.
Glad it was helpful!
You two are adorable.
So glad you appreciate the video!
Exactly what I was looking for thank you
Glad you enjoyed our video!

Yes you can do it on the counter when it is time to check in!
Did you forget to mention about the premium economy seats? Alaska has it on all Boeing and Air bus aircraft.
Yes that is a great point I did not put that in!
@@ChewsToExplore next time!
You are the cutest couple. :) Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much! Glad it can help you!
You’re only entitled to one checked bag for free if you’re flying to or from Alaska and if you are a member of 49 club. You must be in Alaska State resident to qualify for 49 club.
Thanks for the update definitely did not know that from our experience.
Does a backpack count as a personal item?
Technically it depends on the size but from our experience they are fine with bookbags as personal items
Does Alaska Air strict on the carry size ? Do they make people put the luggage to see if fit? I bought a new luggage but it is bigger than the 45 linear (22x14x9), mine is around 47.5 linear. So you think it’s ok or they will make me check in my carryon?
From my experience no. They didn’t ask or check my bagggage with anything
Thanks for sharing, very educative ✌️🥰❤️❣️
Thanks for watching bro
@@ChewsToExplore U are Welcome Bro 😊😊
So if you're going to watch a movie on your phone, you're paying?
No you do not have to pay for the movies they have on their entertainment service
@@ChewsToExplore Thank you
I want to Fly with Alaska for a trip next year am i allowed to have my backpack and a carry on?
Yes you can have both!
What about the meal in first class? Do they even offer meals on a 6 hour flight? Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching, i could not speak on first class as I did not stay in first class. In our trip they did not offer a meal but just snacks
Since flying saver you can’t choose your seats, were you guys able to sit together? I’m going to be flying with a family of four don’t know if upgrading to main is worth it.

If that's unavailable, then I would upgrade.
What I did is after I book the saver tier, I talk to a rep over live chat and asked to pick my seats and it was done!
@@evieuyenta8764 Wow this is an amazing tip, i never even thought of doing this! Definitely a game changer!
good info
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful!
What are the dimensions of the backpacks you guys used as personal items? I have a Beis mini weekender and I just can’t decide if it’s too big. I believe it’s roughly 16x16x8. It was ok on a Southwest flight, but I have never flown Alaska Air.
I was researching the size for my flight also, the personal bag size are 18x14x8=40 linear
On my experience alaska never checked to see if the bag does fit in the personal item. I usually just take my bag off and put it in the overhead space
How strict were they with your carry on, what was yours?
My bag was bigger than the personal item size however, i had no problems with it there.
Hi, May i know about the checked-in baggage, do we pay together with the flight ticket or pay separately,
It's my first time booking with Alaska Airline
I do not travel with a checked bag so I am not sure based on my experience. However, you can purchase it at the time of the booking or usually it is more expensive at the airport
Was there any more room as if to fit a 22x15 instead of 14?
If it is a bookbag you should not have a problem but I am not exactly sure with a carry on
Wait so can I not bring my book bag and a carry on?
Yes In all 3 tiers you get a personal item and a carryon included
Can you take a backpack as a personal item?
Technically it depends on the size of the bookbag. But as I've shown in the video I took mine and had no problems.
Thanks for the info. This will be my first flight on Tues. I have a 7:15 am flight what is the best time to check in on the app?
I have a 7:30 am flight this upcoming friday and I was wondering the same thing
@@rafascrofa I checked in at 7:15am this morning for my flight tomorrow
It is best to ceck in 24 hours before the flight
@@rafascrofa I try to check in as soon as I can on the app

im mortified they don't offer screens on a 6.5 hour flight? I won't be flying with them ever again

We live in a world and we live a life Not Perfect., After flying for over 4 decades, I've trying several airlines that take me to & bring me from wherever I go, locally & internationally
