A few things; It's a short flight from LAX to Vegas. That's about an hour total. Alaska Airlines has a few airports that are considered "Early Sit" destinations (which the flight attendant stated). These early sit destinations mean that flight attendants MUST be seated early for landing. Typically they sit around the 10,000 ft point on descent, an early sit, they will be seated by 18,000 ft, which is approximately 20-25 minutes before landing. So that 1 hr flight, means the flight attendants are seated the last half of the flight. To start, the flight attendants have to be seated after takeoff. That's about 10-20 minutes seated at the start of the flight. In total, to do a "full service", that leaves the F/A's 20 minutes to do a full service and clean up. That's not a lot of time. If turbulence is forecasted for the flight, the safety of the flight crew trumps a guest getting their morning coffee, which was offered BEFORE door closure.
Second point, Alaska Airlines and most airlines in the US do not control TSA. Some airlines will have priority TSA, but that's not the case in LAX. Get TSA pre-check or CLEAR.
Also it's LAX-LAS. I wouldn't expect much on ANY flight that short.
Thank you for sharing… very good points 😊 I also made a review for Alaska basic economy. I was blown away with their service but I have to be honest & rule out from my experience that it may be not worth it to fly first class on this route…..
@@babetravelling Yeah, a short less than an hour flight is not something worth reviewing for the first class experience.
Probably could've driven to Vegas from L.A. in the same time it took to get to the airport, find parking, check in baggage, go through security, wait for the plane to take off and then land, collect luggage, get a rental car.
as a solo traveller, I find it not worth it to drive (also depends where you live) but a group would be a fun road trip. I doo miss a road trip! 🥰
That's what I do, drive to LAS. A simple 4.5 hour drive with pit stops and food at Baker along the I-15, coming from southern LA area. Once you get near the CA/NV state line, follow the speed limit before and after the border line. =)
Sign up for TSA-Pre to get express check-in and and don't pay extra for specific airline check in.
How was was a 1st class ticket? It's a bummer than the forecast of turbulence cancelled flight attendant service.
good tip. I was trying a first class ticket experience as it is (honest review). Quite the bummer 😅
Cabin crew to remain seated?? Wondering; was this flight more turbulent than other flights you encountered?
@@harveyh3696 not at all 😂
@@babetravelling Thinking back. Perhaps the Pilot had a severe turbulence warning from pilots flying ahead of your plane. I'm giving the aircrew a benefit of a doubt. Overall, I absolutely trust the cabin and flight crew to get me where I want to go in one piece as I'm sure they want to get there in the same condition. Customer/passenger service is another story.
Never flown Alaska Airlines but recently signed up for their credit card for bonus miles in anticipation of their merger with Hawaiian Air to merge my HIair and AKair miles in the future.
I absolutely Luv the information this channel provides! Babe is really a Babe! :)
if the captain has some forecast that major turbulence could happen, he/she has to be mindful of the safety of crew. Turbulence is able to come on super fast and hit you out of no where, and you can hit the ceiling with a cart and coffee on it and really hurt yourself, or even die. I had a flight attendant friend who hit the ceiling in undetected turbulence that injured her neck very badly.
Glad you called him out who tried to cut in line 👏 👏
Sorry not sorry 😅
Hey girl, great video as usual. Just a suggestion: if you can, make this trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas by car, it'd be interesting. What do you think? Thanks a lot for this great content!!! ☺️🥰🥰
I made 25 stops to Vegas video quite awhile back 🥰 I’m thinking of renting a cybertruck to Vegas but it will cost me $$$
Bruh get longer flights. This is weak
Most def 🥰
Nice review
Thank you! Cheers! 🥂
Very nice review of Alaska Airlines! Can you some restaurant reviews in Simi Valley? Have a wonderful day beautiful lady😘😘😘 xox
Thank you. The hat would be a very good place to go in Simi for pastrami
@@babetravelling Your welcome beautiful lady😘😘😘 xox! Have a wonderful day beautiful lady😘😘😘 xox
Wife and I are flying first class out of Wichita to Seattle on Alaska Air. How do I know if Wichita offers quick check-in? Didn’t like it when the guy told you first class is only when you board plane. Should be first class service throughout.
Ikr… the thing is there is no available data online coz I tried. I think the best way is to call Wichita Alaska airport. I know it’s a pain 🥹
Nice review of Alaska Air
thank you. Do u ride Alaska?
And what camera are you using? The quality is really good!
I have just shifted to osmo pocket 3 in 4K :)
Flying on April 1st is no joke! 🙂
is this an April Fool's joke lol it got me!
Nice video I’m in Orange County
Thank u. Luv ur local airport too!
Orange County airport is the best
Are you flying the Boeing 737-800 or Boeing 737-900ER. Do you know what's the registration?
I didn’t check this time but my last flight with Alaska same route & time is an ER ☺️
Okay I see. Thanks.
You need to sign up for Clear & no longer wait in TSA lines
They’re taking it out LAX & for some reason, I like hanging out with crowds & observing what they do 🥰
Alaska for sure could have provided drink service. I’d be so mad if I paid extra for first class
I feel u! 😭
It's an hour flight. Flight attendants are seated the first 10-20 minutes at the start and because it's an early sit, they MUST be seated the last 20-30 minutes of the flight. "Early sit" destination is one that has predicted turbulence and high altitude airport.
An hour flight and the flight attendants are seated over half of the flight time, there's no time for service. Especially if there's turbulence forecasted.
@@erauprcwa understandable and well spoken but it’s a different experience with other airlines that i reviewed in the same route first class, premium & basic economy flight…
@@babetravelling No flights are the same. I'm sure if you re-did the flight on Alaska on a different day, you'd have a different experience. Other airlines have similar procedures and go through the same thing.
(I'm an airline pilot). Once did a flight that was 50 minutes long. We had flight attendants suspend service because there was SEVERE turbulence reported above us AND below us. Earlier in the trip, we encountered severe turbulence on another flight and didn't want a repeat, so for safety, we sat the flight attendants down the entire 45 minute flight. Fortunately we planned perfectly and didn't feel any turbulence during the flight.
Passengers were informed of this prior to departure but because we had no turbulence, people complained about the lack of service.
I will ALWAYS put people's safety before the need for a coca cola.
Thank you again !
appreciate you too! Do u like airline reviews?
@@babetravelling Yes, I do !
That's unfortunate that you didn't get to enjoy their service. IMO they have the best service out of all of the major US carriers.
I have flown them twice on First from JFK-SAN and SEA-ORD. Both times, the crew were amazing and so was the selection of food and beverages. I got good deals on both and totally thought it was worth it
Hoping you get to experience that another time!
Also, to my knowledge, in the US/Canada, FastTrack security with a first/business class ticket isn't common - I've seen that more in Europe and the Middle East.
Ikr, what happened in this flight 😢 They were so good with their basic economy. Same flight schedule…
I got fast track from other airlines even Virgin First class in LAX. Was it Mars Retrograde or something lol
Awesome honey!
Darealdeal
do u like spending extra for a First class?
@@babetravelling IDK, I have yet to travel first class lol. 🥰
@@neildarealdeal7129 soon! 👍
Hi Kayleigh! I love Alaskan Airlines, their crew is always so sweet. On another note, I'm trying to reach you about licensing some of your footage for a commercial, but Im not able to see you website and the email is not working. Could you send me another email I could reach you at?
I don't know who Kayleigh is lol but you can reach me at hello@babtravelling.com :)
Thank you for this video, I want to visit Alaska
Me too! My mom just did a cruise 💕
Nice seat!
It was indeed 🥰
Imagine wh
🤔🥰
Aloha, I flew AS first class twice, and I don't recommend it.
Aloha! If coming from Hawaii, did you experience the same thing? Not much perks...
@@babetravelling cant beat Hawaiian Airlines
It is NOT worth paying for this. Go for the courtesy upgrade. I hate to ruin your fantasy but Alaska's first class is awful. The only people impressed by Alaska's first class are people like this woman who has never flown first class but expects separate lines and VIP treatment on escalators. That was super entitled in a sad, third world kind of way.
This woman, as u refer makes honest reviews for private jets, first class, premium classes, economy and makes a report of what she thinks and good for travel. If you did watch the video, the 2 cents are there.
@@cameronalisterlee also it’s termed developing countries 🥰 Have a great and safe travels always
They look old as heck. Well worn seats.
Must be an old plane but it was comfortable somehow 😅
:p
:)
I generally stay out of the United States. Businesses and hotels have staff with attitudes. Asia offers better quality service. like 9
I do miss Asian hotels and airlines but US is very interesting too 🥰
You sound d€£b. I am from Singapore, an Asian country born and raised before immigrating to the US. And Singapore has one of the worst and most surly service in the world. You only get preferential treatment in Asia because of your skin color. For other people, because race is not in play, the service provided in North America is way ahead of Asia. And service is not just about being fawning and servile but that’s clearly the definition you have in mind. Remind everyone again why the world’s best famous hospitality university programs are in Switzerland and US (at Cornell university the only Ivy League hospitality degree course in the world) and not in Asia. Luxury service and hospitality is a professional discipline of anticipating needs and organizing. None of which Asia specializes in.

@@NonyaMeeSiamLOL US is almost a third world country
@@worldlife9834 Your miserable social security payout from the US buys you 200 slaves in Thailand but US is the third world country. Losers who failed in the US think they are suddenly kings in sweatshop country lol
