Lovely gesture from the crew to ask you if you got proper images from the flight. More appreciation needed like that from other airline crews for Aviation Vloggers.
But on a long haul route the aircraft should larger size and more modernized and updated aircraft like the a321neo which Alaska has thanks to the merger.
Yes. Alaska Airlines is a vital service within the state of Alaska. And their regional airline Horizon (whom I work for) flies predominantly over the PNW area. It’s a great company to work for
Very nice trip report! I flew Alaska few weeks ago (Oakland - Seattle) and I was generally impressed of their service. However I didn't expected that on transcontinental flight they don't offer complimentary food. Here in Europe most of the airlines offer worse service than Alaska, but all of them (excluding the low-costers) will definitely offer complimentary meal on 5h flight!
No US airline offers complimentary hot meals in economy class on domestic flights. Except for Hawaiian. Fly 6 hours from Los Angeles to New York and you'll only gets a drink or 2 and pretzels unless you pay.
I flew with Alaska for the first time late Jan 2020 and I have to say their service is A++ They also have Napoleon Dynamite in their movie selection! "Gosh"
I flew Alaskan for the first time in Mid Jan 2020 as well and I was amazed by this airline. Priced usually between Low Cost Carriers but isn't any of the legacy carriers but still on par with the legacy carriers
Thx for making this review! I wanted to see how good Alaska Airlines is because I'm flying from San Jose (SJC) to Kahului on their 737-800 in December, and I've never flown on Alaska before! Really excited!
As someone who lives in the US, we fly on lots of 737s. However, I really don’t like the idea of being on a 737 for 4 1/2 or 5 hours, which I had to endure from Miami to San Francisco last year. It was just way too long to be on a small plane. As for Alaska Airlines, I don’t find it any more special than American Airlines. Neither one of them serve food on a cross-country flight so I don’t see what the difference is. The one good thing about Alaska is that it’s partnered with American, and American has far more planes than Alaska so you may be able to get a widebody across the US rather than a one aisle plane. Thanks for the great trip report and beautiful footage David!❤️👍✈️
No offense, but I think you're a bit spoiled ;) Living in Israel, I'm used to flying almost-exclusively on narrow-bodies to European destinations, and flight duration is in the 4-hr area. In my experience, if it's a decent seat and enough legroom, it's quite fine. However, I agree on the lack of food on domestic US flight -- it's a shame they don't provide meals on such long flights.
I live in Vancouver which is fairly close to their home airport in Seattle but I've never got the chance to fly with them. This video makes me want to change that ASAP! Thanks David, amazing video as always :) Greetings from Canada!
I live in LA and whenever I do the LAX-EWR/JFK flights I always fly through Palos Verdes in the southern tip through Long Beach and then northeastly direction. I wonder how they coordinate over the airport
I flew in standard economy for a five-hour trip from Portland to Philadelphia on another airline. When we landed and I walked to my connecting gate, I couldn't walk without feeling dizzy and had a "moonwalking" feeling. I had developed a bad case of vertigo that took well over a year to go away, even with medical treatment. I'll fly in standard coach/economy for a one, perhaps two-hour flight, but not a transcontinental or international flight. I'll spend the extra bucks for at least premium economy just to be able to stretch out more and be comfortable.
Hey imply aviation I’ve been subscribed for 2 years nor and your trip reports are excellent I hope I get to vlog like how you do it😃👍👍😃😃😃😃👍👨🏻✈️👨🏻✈️👨🏻✈️
Great video and very informative. Only one question, do you have to pay for WiFi? I saw "Free" for eligible T-Mobile customers, but I am bringing a Samsung Galaxy Notebook and I wish to connect to WiFi. Is it a cost?
Mikail Unal I’m with ya been commenting telling him to try them and here we go sadly he didn’t try a retrofitted Airbus since those offer more comfortable seats I fly Alaska everywhere because of the service
Mikail Unal what’s so fun about it? It looks lame and dull, nothing is complementary. I would take United anytime over Alaska. Besides I live in Houston, United offers many nonstop flights from IAH. Why would I fly an airline that doesn’t give nonstop flights from where I live?
@@CarlosCastro-gt3ir You're the only person I know that flies United 😂 But jokes aside, I understand you and I would had prefered Virgin America before they merched. But Alaska is not that bad
Nice flight... confirms what I've heard about Alaska Airlines. God's richest blessings to you. Pastor Dean (Rev. Dr. J. Dean McNamara), Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL.
They have a great customer service and the airlines mbr (missed bag rario) is always the best in the business. No food is the norm even on legacy carriers. No IFE you also have on Southwest and Spirit. If you look at the quarter reports for all three nobody is losing sleep for no food, IFE or free IFE.
Dave Schwartz That’s because you are used to US market but all over the world, serving food even on 2 hr flight is the norm. Also it’s not true that legacy carriers don’t offer meals, Delta does, even United on a EWR SFO I flew last year (which I wasn’t expecting) offered meals. At least Spirit and Southwest are LLC so nobody expects free food nor drinks.
@@daveschwartz5893 Despite Seattle being their home, I always think the least friendly Alaska workers work in Seattle. I have to say though, I have terrible experiences every time I am forced to fly Alaska.
Look everyone's gonna have a different story and experiences. Some people love Spirit. The name of the game is reducing cost so the cost reduction is past on to the customers. I don't eat airline food. Never have and especially don't now that I've worked for an airline 17 years . Also don't drink tea or coffee on a plane but that's a different story. But hey... for some having airline food is important. To each is own.
Ghab Tan I did SAN - MCO and they had a tablet with the entertainment studio plus games for $10. I used my phone for free since I was already carrying it.
Alaska can’t decide if they want to be a regional, low-cost, or full service carrier. Regional:Alaska name, flies to some small towns in Alaska Low-cost: No seatback screens on 5-hour flights, uses small planes for routes that could easily fill wide-bodies Full-service:Lounges, premium cabins.
Honestly, there's nothing I see here that would compel me to fly Alaska over another similar airline. Nothing seriously bad, but it's just bland and boring. Then again, bland and boring may be a good thing, compared to passenger assault and dead pets you get on United and American?
Shaun Yip I would honestly fly United anytime, since I live in one of their hubs, George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Despite many people hating on United, I would say it’s one of the best airlines in the US. They offer IFE, some even have DirecTv on board. I have always had a great experience flying United, and I like how they offer many nonstop flights from IAH. If I ever fly Alaska Airlines, I would have to make stops, and no one likes that.
I live in DFW . And most flights are AA because its their main hub . But we also have several budget flights like spirit , or southwest which is in Love Field
I'd rather fly "bland and boring" like Alaska (my favorite US carrier) than something awful, like Southwest, American, or Frontier (based on multiple experiences with each airline).
I use to have the honor of working for Alaska sir and never had a problem when it came to flying with them
Lovely gesture from the crew to ask you if you got proper images from the flight. More appreciation needed like that from other airline crews for Aviation Vloggers.
Having Alaska as my favorite airline, and you giving it a good review really makes me happy. Nice 👍
T-Mobile Tanner same
But on a long haul route the aircraft should larger size and more modernized and updated aircraft like the a321neo which Alaska has thanks to the merger.
why>?
I have not had the pleasure of flying Alaska Airlines yet. One day, one day...
Genki's Travels you should fly with them they’re pretty great
me either, im a SWA guy and was a Virgin USA guy
Alaska is great the really care about there cuatomers
Fly with them, thier really great
American here:
My top US airlines: Alaska, Delta, JetBlue
My worst US airlines: Southwest (multiple horrible experiences), Spirit, Frontier, American
Delta is awesome
I have been flying Alaska for many years and is my favorite airline (since I have only experienced US airlines).
i spy with my little eye a great trip report

Hey, can you do a report on Air France A350, it’s a flight from Toronto to Paris! I’m interested seeing their economy class in their A350s...
A storm is hitting la right now my backyard is flooded
Thumbs up for simply aviation
I heard and read Alaska is consistently one of the best airlines.
Wait what? I had no clue Alaska flew from LAX to JFK. I though it was only Alaska - to your destination. Thank you for this video!
They fly all over the western us
They don't have many flights to the east coast US. Mainly just the large cities like NYC.
My top US airliners:
1. Alaska Airlines
2. Delta Airlines
3. United Airlines
4. Southwest
5. American Airlines
∞. Frontier
I flew with Alaska for the first time late Jan 2020 and I have to say their service is A++
They also have Napoleon Dynamite in their movie selection! "Gosh"

I just love these Split Scimitar Winglets! :D
ya me too
Ya they're actually an old design. the MD-11 has them, which Boeing stole from
They kind of confuse me with the MAX. How does one tell the difference?
@@islandcactus1508 with the riffled engines, the 737 Max has these triangles at the back of the engines
Thx for making this review! I wanted to see how good Alaska Airlines is because I'm flying from San Jose (SJC) to Kahului on their 737-800 in December, and I've never flown on Alaska before! Really excited!
Could you guys keep doing these pacific coast airlines and airports? You spend your time all over the world when there is so much on Pacific Northwest
As someone who lives in the US, we fly on lots of 737s. However, I really don’t like the idea of being on a 737 for 4 1/2 or 5 hours, which I had to endure from Miami to San Francisco last year.

They also have a good lounge at JFK Terminal 7.
I fly Alaska all the time there a super good airline the staff is always nice and they do offer tablets
Two different types of winglets form the MAX to the NG my friend.. very different..
@@Mvinnyslice That sounds really stupid!!!!
Watching this on a JetBlue flight to ft Lauderdale and I’m sitting in seat 25F haha
Gio Medina how was the flight ?
Even 5 hours feel painful in narrow body planes
Then try flying 7 hours accross the Atlantic in a 757.
Me: *sigh* try flying 14-15-17 hours in a A380 in eco.
Noo, it won't be that painful if you fly on Asian & Middle East airlines
I’ve done it a few times
It’s not bad but it’s not good
I’d recommend Southwest and Delta for trans-con flights
i agree. i am 6 ft 6 300 pounds and i fit very comfortable on southwest's seats.
Great video. New sub!
alaska and delta are the best american-based carriers you can get on
And Hawaiian Airlines.
Again…sunset departures out of LAX are just…amazing!
As a former NYC resident the thought of being in JFK or LGA gives me the heebee jeebee’s.
Alaska is by far the best airline in the us. That makes it a shame it joined one word.
I've had a lot of alaska sit-ins and i've been willing to do so. Very Nice Videos✌🏻
Great video love the sunrise. Alaska is one of the best
Good old T7 at JFK back when Qantas used it. It’ll be sad to see it go after the new terminal construction.
The trip reports are great however the commercials are way too many and a total distraction.

...or ABP...
wow @ 3:34 david ...... nice report and alaska is not bad @ all , love their special livery 's
Very nice...however for a 4 hour flight they could also include a complimentary snack like nuts, chocolate as some other airlines offer...
Always a pleasure seeing the South African flag on your suitcase!

Boeing 737 might be too small to fly from LAX to JFK but not certain.
Yea...I need to try an Alaska Airlines flight. That and Delta lol
I did Alaska airlines
LAX-LAS&
LAS-SFO
Great experience!
im going on this plane in june!! im so excited
Will there ever be again free meal service on long haul flights over 2.5 hours?
I flew alaska from oregon to hawaii in 5 hours.
I love your videos and special Tripreports!

Squikes Likes pink candy i love them too i been watching them for 3ish years
LOVE LOVE LOVE that plane
The sharklets are stunning !!!
MM Aviation it’s only sharklets on an airbus
They don’t offer any complimentary snacks?? Pretzels? Cookies?
Leyla Kohley they offer biscofs
biscoffs and drinks in coach, and a little box of free snacks in premium. gummy bears, nuts, that kind of stuff.
How can you expect more services on American's airlines 😂😂
Pls more of Mea airlines ! I really appreciate this channel!
Wtf is Mea airlines?
You finally flew on an Alaska 737! Their 800’s aren’t the best but you must try their 737-900’s. A lot better. Nice trip report also!
The Trip Reporter agree or the retrofitted 737-700 which are mostly in Alaska but there so much more comfortable
i always get cranberry juice on flights IDK why
Great video and very informative. Only one question, do you have to pay for WiFi? I saw "Free" for eligible T-Mobile customers, but I am bringing a Samsung Galaxy Notebook and I wish to connect to WiFi. Is it a cost?
Quick flying in 2 days ! Plz tell me the app that tells you everything about the aircraft
There’s no more Alaska service from LAX to JFK… lucky you
why did you book though SingApore if you did not fly Singapore? I am confused
YES FINALLY!!!! ALASKA AIRLINES

They serve biscoff cookies
@@arandomperson3516 Usually any snacks served are shown in the review. Didn't see one on either drink service. Hopefully they do give a snack.
I was at LAX a few days ago.
Alaska Airlines is now a One World Alliance member!
Nice flight... confirms what I've heard about Alaska Airlines. God's richest blessings to you. Pastor Dean (Rev. Dr. J. Dean McNamara), Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL.
is this the max or a standard 800 because I thought the 800 couldn't fly across the country nonstop
What’s so great about this Airline when they only offer drinks for free on a 5 hr flight? I’d never fly them
and no IFE

Great video man, do you like the old cabin instead of the new cabin?
Plot twist that's an actual 737 max
@AHMED Production Plot twist: That’s a 737-800.
@AHMED Production And they did ordered some, but they are not coming yet.

The best yet channel
Hello. nice to me to you! very nice report!
A very good company. Flew from PDX to JFK everything went down smoothly.
I can definitely not survive a flight with Alaskan , TRASCONTINENTAL without IFE
Ghab Tan I did SAN - MCO and they had a tablet with the entertainment studio plus games for $10. I used my phone for free since I was already carrying it.
Nice
umm no personal screens for a 5hr flight???
Hi and thank you. AS seems like a very boring airline. They were great back in the day.

That was a rebranded max!
Alaska airlines in the US ? I never knew !

Alaska Airlines
*Hub is in Seattle*
737 might be too small to fly from LAX to JFK but not certain.
Nope
I always get sad when I think of how Alaska took over Virgin then added seats and took away IFE on their planes.
@@erikholmberg2331 There was no shortage of entertainment on Virgin and what about less legroom?
And the planes is empty
