PHEW!! Isn't that a BEAUTIFUL SOUND!!
My wife and I flew to Anchorage back in August of 2016! We actually were at one of the areas you showed in this video... Alyeska Ski Resort! Took the skytram all the way up to the giftshop/ restaurant at the very top! I have not forgoten that beautiful day, loking out over miles of snow-capped peaks and forests...and the tiny towns scatered far below in the surrounding valleys! A magical experience to be sure! To see it from the air in your video is nothing short of breathtaking! I keep trying ( in vain ) to make out the ski lodge, restaurant where we ate and the skytrams! But, thank you for the incredible flight over those majestic mountains bathed in the last rays of a late afternoon, Alaskan sunset!!!
Thanks! The ski facilities are a bit too small to make out in this video unfortunately.
@@aps_ak7088 called Alyeska ski resort, only major one we got here in Alaska. Got a small day ski resort called Eagle crest directly across from Juneau on Douglas island, yet not close in comparison! We do have the best heli skiing in the world though!
Flew to Alaska with my father back in 1993. Departed Boston with a 2.5 hour delay while mechanics tried to repair a broken toilet. Sitting inside that United Airlines 737 for 2.5 hours was not fun and the mechanics too never repaired the toilet. Landed in Chicago and had 45 minutes to walk around the terminal to get blood flowing back into the legs. Departed Chicago on a United Airlines 757 and landed in Anchorage. I remember the weather when we landed. It was cloudy and raining but five minutes later it was sunshine. That is Alaskan weather I soon learned but 90 plus percent of the time it was nice with no rain. Rented a Ford Explorer but if I knew better it would had been a RV instead. RV is the way to go there in Alaska. Our trip plan was Anchorage, Denali, Fairbanks, a flight to Barrow on Alaskan Airlines, Valdez and back to Anchorage. We planned our motels so that we would check in and spend the rest of the day relaxing and spend the next day sight seeing and stay the second night before heading off early the next morning. In Anchorage we took a day trip to Homer Spit. Really cool tourist trap with a pub that had woodchips for a flooring. At Denali we went on a school bus vehicle tour inside Denali Park. We took the morning tour which was great because the afternoon tour it can get hot inside the bus. We also took a helicopter ride in Denali which was sort of expensive but worth it. On the way to Denali from Anchorage was a breakfast lunch diner where we ate and took a rest. From Denali we headed to Fairbanks. In Fairbanks we visited Alaska University Museum, an outdoor Alaskan pipeline museum and directly across the street was a gold mining attraction called Dredge No. 8. Also in Fairbanks is a restaurant called the Pump House. From Fairbanks we flew Alaskan Airlines on a 737 to Barrow and stayed over night. In Barrow we took a school bus vehicle tour. After leaving Fairbanks we headed for Valdez and went on a Glacier cruise and saw plenty of icebergs which some were blue in color. Lack of oxygen on micro organisms inside the ice creates the blue color we learned. While on the glacier cruise we landed on an island occupied by native alaskans and had lunch there. From Valdez we headed back to Anchorage. From Anchorage we flew back home to Boston. I spent a small fortune on that Alaskan trip and every penny of it was worth it.
and tell me why you are sharing an essay on a day of your life on a youtube comments section
And you realize you barely touched our strategy? Imagine if you got off our few roads up here! That’s “real Alaska “! Just saying!😉🤣👍
@@biggieweeb881 And tell me why you give a shit, or even ask that person that question???😳🤪🤣
Thanks for the beautiful scenery. It was a nostalgic trip for me as I used to sail these same waters when I lived in Vancouver, and would take 1 or 2 weeks off to sail. The most beautiful sailing in the world.
I live here in Alaska, was lucky to work on a small cruise ship in Southeast Alaska on 9 day cruises all around baranof, chichigof and admiralty islands where the big ships can’t go! No place even compares, except Kodiak island and the area outside of Seward and Prince William Sound! Simple!😉
One of the best videos into Alaska I've seen...great job!
Thank you!
Seward was a genius. Another exceptional vid. Look how smooth that air is. I love to fly. I am also a pilot.
I live in Seward, awesome, yet I also worked at a wilifly in by floatplane lodge on Kodiak island and worked as a fishing guide in southeast Alaska getting to fly with some of the best floatplane pilots on earth daily! Priceless!😉👍
What a beautiful flight!! I love Anchorage and Alaska!! Beautiful job guys!! :-)
Feeling homesick after 42 years in FBX ANC. Age :( Brought my feelings upright again. Thanks for sharing this beautiful flight, caught on an iPhone 6 camera. Thanks from Outside.
Roberta Hanscom thanks! 42 years is great.
Beautiful flight. Mountains look awsome.
My Bucket list destination. Maybe for my 50th birthday. 😁
Here I am in the Seattle Airport waiting to go to Anchorage. My flight doesn't leave for another 4 hours 🙃
By watching this video before you landed in Anchorage you spoiled the surprise. I get you are excited though.
@@demonhalo67 Yeah lol. Best flight of my life! Still videos can't do alaska justice.
Awesome flight review and Alaska mountain scene! Subbed you 😊😊
Thank you!
So cool to relive my flight. Flew 5/31/2019 from Kansas City to Seattle to Anchorage. Was headed to Girdwood so was excited that you pointed it out. Was a quick trip as I was meeting my sister in Girdwood to drive to Phoenix. Thanks for posting the video.
Beth Pierce thanks for the comment!
Beautiful!! Thank you for uploading this video! So nice!
Great footage. Nice seeing the spectacular Seward Highway down there.
Beautiful footage! I appreciated the captions pointing out what the aircraft was flying over. Thanks for sharing!
VibeXplorer thanks, I’m glad they were helpful!
@@aps_ak7088 Done this flight many times, on a clear day they pass right over the malaspina ice field outside of yakutat, it’s square area is bigger then Switzerland! Quiet a sight from a clear day window seat on the right hand side of the plane!😳👍😉
I have done the Anchorage-Seattle-Anchorage shot over two dozen times. I always appreciate the scenery. And sometimes coming in from a different angle, I can see where my house is located, , , ,roughly. Thanks for posting.
Hi!
This was a fun and exciting vid, for me. I was glad that it was a long video.
Beautiful scenery.
All the best Shaun of NYC
Thanks!
What’s even better? Seeing Alaska by small bush plane, floatplane low through our mountain passes on a clear summer day!😳😳😳😉🤣
It was very exciting! Thank ypu for sharing the video!
One of the most spectacular flight videos I’ve ever seen!
Isaac Tierney thanks!
Thank you for sharing, Awesome!
Absolutely stunning, great work!
Kenny Goetz thank you!
Wow, Amazing footage and scenery. Great Job and thanks for sharing!!
David Armitage thanks!
Just here for old memories. It's been years since I've been to Alaska.
Great video, excellent work.
Wow, such a smooth landing 😊👍
This is a very good video. Well worth watching. Thank you
That was a beautiful landing. I’ll be flying into Anchorage, and driving into Homer. In two weeks!:) I haven’t been back to Alaska since my last trip in 2016, and I am especially excited about going to Homer. It’s my first time there. I get to see my number one favorite crab boat from Deadliest Catch. The Time Bandit, and hopefully my wish of meeting Captain Johnathan can come true.
14:18 If you’ll look out the right hand side of the plane, you can currently see Girdwood and Alyeska Ski Resort; nestled into the Chugach Mountains on Turnagain Arm.
Looks beautiful. I do miss AK.
Great video.
Amazing video
have flown this route twice 1st time a UA 767-300 and i remember looking down and seeing a cruise ship that was cool. Next flt was a AS Mad-Dog was supposed to be on a 900 but was late arv from Ord so had to race across terminals and got the Mad-Dog was happy even though it wasn't a f class i had the row all to my self...
Great video 😊💖
I visited Anchorage May 2018. I’m not sure of our flight path (Delta airlines) other than ATL -> SEA -> ANC. As we approached ANC, I remembering looking out the window and the land below had zero roads that I could see. That was a different experience. However, nothing beat the view of the mountains as we left in our rental headed for our hotel. I hope I’ll be able to return in 2022. Thank you for sharing this video.
rdawn27 thanks for sharing - the State will be ready to welcome you again in 2022!
I can't wait to take this flight home someday soon!
beautifull view
What a great video! You can notice slowly how the climate and landscape changes and brrrrr does it look cold outstide, but I like this arctic weather :) Thx for the video aps_ak
Jan Kaufmann thanks! If I remember right, it was just below freezing in Anchorage when we landed. This was middle of April, and our daytime temperatures were in the 40s at that point.
Amei o vídeo parabéns
So kalt ist es gar nicht....nur die Ruhe...
@@dagmarvandoren9364 Was?
22:57 that's where I use to stand and watch the planes come in for landing
great! i wanna visit alaska. greets from austria
Thanks! Great time of the year to visit soon.
11:25 - there's still a lot of snow on the ground and not just on the mountain tops near the southern coasts of Alaska around Prince William Sound in mid-April. I guess that their winter isn't over until almost May. However, I thought that would be more the case around Fairbanks and central Alaska, but not so much around the south Alaskan coasts
I've watched a lot of planes come in for that landing while strolling around in kincaid park.
Same, same
Great video ! Would you say the right side of the airplane had the best view on this flight ?
Flying towards Anchorage - yes, I like sitting on the "F" window side. The other side is mostly water until you get in the Anchorage area.
Hola soy uruguayo que hermosos paisajes Alaska me gustaría conocer algún día esa hermosa paisajes de Alaska me encanta los paisajes con grandes Lagos montañas cubiertas de nieve hermoso saludos cordiales desde Uruguay
very pretty
Flew the Seattle United Shuttle to Ancorage.
Always a magic view at altitude looking at the mountains.
==BOZE==
smooth landing
I once took a flight to Frankfurt to anchorage the end was so scary
Nice vídeo 👏👏👏
Oh wow this is gorgeous, I might make it there someday?
I am flying from Seattle to AK soon.
هبوط رائع جداً ومناظر ممتازة .
Looks like a mountain painted by Bob Ross but from the air.
Im from tampa. I might choose this over Disneyland ☺
I flew here from tampa, I live in st petersburg lol but the plane ride is way prettier than this video ❤
My best friend lives in Fairbanks and lived in Kenai. Snows 8 months of the year and it's bitterly cold. But....if you like that, it's beautiful as well. Since they retired, she winters with her husband in Texas, which she calls God's Country.
forget disney.
April is our breakup time from winter here in Alaska, you think this is beautiful, try it in June, July or August, on a clear day flight, nothing even compares to Alaska, simple!
Oh, well I’ve lived here for over 20 years so definitely agree with you. :)
@@aps_ak7088 try my forty years, high school at Chugiak when Eagle River was small, used to ride my snow machine through town?😳🤣
@@troyottosen8722 Most of the world is beautiful stop acting like only our home is. Come on humble yourself like most of us true Alaskans
I’m thinking about moving to Alaska
is that abraham lincon on the tail ?
LONG takeoff roll!!
What is the name of that huge mountain in the background at minute 10:00?
Jack Stanley far on the horizon is Mt. Sanford - part of Wrangell - St. Elias National Park.
well what do you know its raining in Seattle.
Do you call Alaska low cost
Wonder if the old Electra 188 at 23:37 is still used :)
Looks like a former Zantop aircraft
How did you get around the "turn off all electronics" rule to film this?
Like most other US airlines, Alaska just requires electronics to be in "Airplane Mode", which does not affect the video function.
how were you able to film without an attendant stopping you.they always stop me.
Never had an issue in the US on multiple domestic airlines. I also usually just use an iPhone so it’s not very noticeable usually, especially if it’s next to my shoulder. But again, no one has ever said anything.
How much does a round trip ticket between Seattle and Anchorage cost?
The cost varies greatly by carrier, time of day, and season. I've seen one way ANC-SEA tickets go under $100 in the summer, or $300-400 during holidays or spring break. Alaska Airlines isn't the cheapest, typically seasonal carrier JetBlue offers low fares.
Rapid Thrash ehhh, around 200$ CAD in August
At the end you can see the Seward Highway, flying by Girdwood! That person’s caugh, COVID???😳🤪🤣😂
Joia
i wonder what someone flying one hundred years ago would think of flying today.
I also cam landing smooth like that
*cries of x plane 10
For God so loved the world he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life ✝️

Why the thumbs down? What's wrong with people?
MJT I guess it’s just CZcams. I don’t take offense to it, someone is always gonna find something to dislike...
what kind of brainless ppl disliking a video like this? :/
nice video, thx for sharing
Mos Kito thanks! And it’s CZcams, there will always be someone who doesn’t like something
@@aps_ak7088 i just dont understand why they are watching it anyways :)
have a great day
Mos Kito you too, thanks for the comments!
I live in adak and anchorage is the onley in to the US
The F* is that sound on takeoff?
It's annoying...
Perfect landing aka a US Navy-trained pilot🤣🤣😂😂😂
