    Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

Many hours of training and precautions have been taken. Through all the controversy, probably the safest airplane out there. Thanks for your video. Enjoyed it.

Love this review since Alaska is my favorite airline plus Seattle and San Diego are among my favorite cities. I wish I can say I have flown Alaska lately but the last couple of years my job has me in a town that is only served by American (boo-but at least I can get Alaska mileage again!). Can't wait to move back to the west coast and be able to use Alaska again.

    @nickpapagiorgio5056 Před 2 lety

    Wonderful speech by the captain!!! You can tell he is not only very seasoned by the way he spoke but also has a true passion for what he does! People need to understand that these pilots backing the MAX aircraft and who have flown these thousands of miles before any passengers took a seat after they were grounded also have families to go home to and value their lives as much as every passenger on the plane. It was unfortunate what happened with the two max crashes but it was clearly a mistake that was studied hard over those two years and corrected. The MAX is gorgeous and the 737 itself has always been a phenomenal aircraft. I would proudly fly on a MAX 8/9/10 or any other variants in future stress free! Also I LOVE the split winglets they compliment this beautiful bird nicely and Alaska airlines did a wonderful job with the paint job and the interior looks especially gorgeous! And among everything else how about those efficient MAX turbofans?! They freakin purr and are almost silent besides the wind whistling through them!

    I flew back to back on their A321 neos and the MAX9 transcon in First back in March 2022. Wifi was not working on my Max 9 flight westbound leaving me feeling dreadful, not even the IFE streaming was available. I love the Airbus neo aircrafts much more due to the better cabin pressurization and the much quieter engines. However, the service on Alaska flights has always been courteous and attentive.

    Flew out of C9 SeaTac yesterday morning but not on a MAX, sadly. I wish they had brought back the NW deli pack instead. And your flight looked like they still had the middle seats mostly empty. They started selling middle seats in January which was a surprise to me when I bought my tickets in December. 😬

    I like the fact that the life vests on the MAX 9 have been re-located to a much more accessible place and I hope that this is a thing of the future with all new aircraft models. It has been a mystery to me for the whole of my flying life that such an important safety aspect has never been completely clear and obvious to passengers. I have not yet been on a flight where an emergency, necessitating use of life jacket has been needed, but I'm sure that their present location of under the seat could generate confusion and additional stress in an emergency for a lot of passengers, bearing in mind that not everyone reads their emergency instruction card, nor pays attention to the cabin crew safety demonstration at the beginning of the flight. I have never liked the more recent use of safety videos on aircraft which have video screens, as I believe some of these videos are presented as to appear 'entertaining,' rather than a serious issue. I feel that all safety demonstrations should be carried out by actual cabin crew on all flights, whether there are video screens on board or not.

    My co worker is a retired airline pilot for FedEx. He never thought the Max would get back in the air. He was rated to fly 747s but I don’t think he did those planes much. He liked the 777s though. I know he still talks to friends still working as pilots. I believe one is from Alaska. His main issue with all the Max planes was once the fix was done was that they now got rust issues within the plane and what not to deal with.
