I don't know if it is still true, but being French, you will appreciate this. At the beginning of the F Concourse at Sea-Tac Airport, there was a wine bar, a great place to wait for your flight. I almost missed mine. Why? For some reason, peoples phones switched to Paris, France and changed the time accordingly! As soon as I left the wine bar, my phone switched back to Seattle/Tacoma. I asked the bartender about that, and he said it happened all the time and no one knew why. NOT April Fool's. True story.

US Airports try to hardest to insure that it is so difficult to use transit to get to the airport even where there is transit service to the airport because they make so much money from parking revenue.
Alaska has always boarding the same way at least every time I have flown them and I have quit a few miles on Alaska since they are my favorite airline although I am now stuck living 3 1/2 hours from the nearest Alaska Airport (Minneapolis) and normally stuck flying American.

Since you are from France their European partner is British Airways since they joined Oneworld alliance since yesterday. That means you must use a British Airways frequent flyer miles to gain mileage points on Alaska Airlines. You're better off doing DL Seattle to Anchorage to use Air France mileage points. You might need to try Seattle light rail

Great video! Just as good as one of your train reports. You should do flight reviews more often. Your style is very suited for it. -
What date and flight number was your flight? It should be easy to track down the aircraft trail number using those two bits of info. -

I flew into Anchorage years ago on an Aeroflot plane from SFO. It was quite an experience, especially flying through the mountains prior to landing.
Looking forward to watching the next video about your train journey, too.

Btw in the video description you said Alaska Airlines is the state airline of Alaska, it's actually not. Alaska airlines is based in Seattle, and it offers a bunch of routes to Alaska, but it's not funded by the state of Alaska.

Haha! I fly up and down the west coast out of Seattle for work and I like Alaska first and Delta second. I find Alaska has just a bit more seat room, a slightly higher seatback and is on time more often.

As an Atlanta resident, I'm glad that you like Delta, or -home- airline, the most. It's a good airline, and in Atlanta we have one of the world's best airports. :)

I hate the long walk from the light rail station to the terminal. You can cut two or three minutes off the walk by cutting through the parking through those screens on the left.

I thought this was gonna be some kinda joke but when I saw it's an actual trip report I was surprised.
The trip report was good so I wouldn't mind seeing more of that in the future

So Alaska uses older 737 like the one you were on. But all had lighting and and other upgrades in phase 1. Phase 2 will be front cabin and premium economy seats

1: 40 w8, Delta has a separate flight to Fairbanks or is it just a code share? Two flights like these just 10 minutes apart are quite unusual, aren't they?

Just when I thought I was watching a simply aviation video. And Alaska Airlines isn-t even based in Alaska. They weren-t even founded there.

Flying sucks. If you-re going to fly a U. S. Carrier, fly Delta, JetBlue, or Hawaiian (if you-re going to Hawai-i)
