  • Let's check out Alaska Airlines First Class from Washington to Washington. We'll review the lounge, seat, food, entertainment, and the crew on this five hour flight across the United States. You'll see the window views, hear the engine, and walk away with a sense of Alaska Airlines First Class!
    Here's a link to the full take-off and landing along with some in-flight footage:
    • Full Take-off and Land...
    Alaska Airlines wasn't in the original #TransconThrowdown because they didn't offer a lie flat seat. If you want to check out that series, here's a link:
    jeb.flights/TransconThrowdown
    But, despite not having a lie flat seat, Alaska Airlines First Class was amazing. The food was great, the seat was comfortable, but it was the Alaska Airlines crew that set this flight apart. Just listen to the Alaska Airlines Captain's announcement. That, alone, made the Alaska Airlines flight special.

      Just a bit disappointed we didn't learn the Captain's shoe size so 9/10 for the announcement from me! Certainly agree with the engaged cabin crew, it makes any flight on any carrier a memorable experience.

      Maybe he's a two or three striper trying to remember information for a check exam thus reciting it to the pax? Maybe it's a nod to the Air Canada "Gimli Glider" incident -- a flight where the fuel calculations were botched due to the recent conversion to the metric system?

    As a regular customer of Alaska Airlines, I have seen numerous captains address the passengers at the start of each flight, standing in front of First Class and speaking to both cabins, offering thanks for their business and speaking without a script. It's a heart-warming and unusual start to a flight to see the human beings who are entrusted with our lives and who represent the company, giving their thanks for our patronage. The flight attendants are similarly gracious on Alaska too. I never worry about flying in or out of weather since the state of Alaska has some very intense weather systems that the Alaska Airlines pilots navigate routinely.

      I was looking for adventure as a young man, and Alaska provided that in spades. Alaska Airlines was mostly flying inside Alaska in the 1970s, and of course Seattle. I remember vividly my first landing in Juneau. I already knew they averaged 200 inches of rain a year. At the time they only had 1 runway, that was carved in the side of the hill. It was the first time I was really scared for my life. But Alaska Airlines pilot put our Boeing 727 right down, thru that rain. It was the largest aircraft that was allowed to land there at the time, and we used almost the whole runway. I lived in Anchorage for the best 12 years of my life. I love Alaska and Alaska Airlines. I also love the Marine Highway. If you want to see Alaska, the marine highway is a good choice. When you get to your destination, your car will be with you.

      Captain Sinclair I used to be indifferent about Alaska air, because they had good entertainment and time efficiency, but I didn’t like the food selection that much compared to other airlines. But my last experience has burned bridges with them, they changed my return tickets from my honeymoon without contacting me, and left my wife and I high and dry in Atlanta without any accommodations. Took 45 minutes to get a new flight out the next morning.

    I enjoy traveling on Alaska, especially First Class. The food has improved dramatically in the last year or so. The lounges don't have the same food selection as some others, but you can get a decent seat and a snack, if nothing else. And the frequent flier program is better than anyone else's and has worked very well for us over the years.

    Alaska truly is a special airline! Great welcoming, caring crews! Hard to beat the genuine experience that Alaska provides. When flying, you know you won't expect the same amenities as on the other big 5 US carriers. Yet, it doesn't matter because of how individualized and special each experience with Alaska is. What helps is the taking of the best of two airlines following the acquisition of Virgin America and truly creating an airline with #MoretoLove! #iAmAlaska
    P.S. Next time you fly, get the fruit and cheese platter. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

    We flew Alaska from ANC-SEA-LAX before our flight to SYD. They were awesome. We've flown domestically in the US on American, United and Alaska as well as internationally on United and American. My view is that Alaska won by far on the domestic market. No comment on international. My friend who works for United may be disappointed to hear that, but that was our experience.

You will truly have a great appreciation of the ground crew and the short runway there in Kotzebue. You should do a series on flying around Alaska on the commercial aircraft big and small. Love the videos as always, keep them coming.
