I couldn't believe how comfortable and spacious the seats are in coach! I am also so pleased that Alaska Airlines is plastic free for their in-flight beverage service.

When the flight says delayed, immediately ask for help because you’ll miss your connecting flight and then you don’t have many options and not much help either

SEA TSA security line was the worst I've ever experienced. Only 1 scanner operating. 1 hour to get through starting at 12 noon. Need to arrive at airport 2 hours ahead for domestic flight. SEA does not have Ladies or Mens Restrooms anymore; all go to the same room. It was awful, men and women were complaining. There was a separate side room for urinals; where is the separate room for Ladies!!! Did I mention how awful it was not having separate mens and ladies restrooms!!! SEA had only 1 drinking fountain; there are none by the restroom as found in other airports. Bring back the drinking fountains. Bring back separate Ladies restrooms.

Best flight I have had in a long time! I have not used Alaska Air for several years and was very impressed with the professionalism and customer focus on my recent trip. Every employee had a smile and was effective in their job role. A very pleasant surprise compared to the “employees with an attitude” at other carriers. Really nice to have a great experience flying. Forgot to mention, the aircraft was absolutely impeccable. Clean, orderly and everything operational.

I can't say that anything was good. The flight was crowded, the seats were tight and uncomfortable...based on a 3&3 configuration. The restroom was tight and uncomfortable just like the flight.

Overview of Alaska Airlines
If you will be flying with Alaska Airlines, there are two classes for you to choose from in addition to standard Economy: Premium Class and First Class. Premium Class will offer you several perks, such as extra legroom, complimentary food and drinks, and pre-boarding. For a particularly luxurious trip, opt for First Class, a choice that includes a hot meal, free access to entertainment tablets, and the ability to check two bags for free.
To watch a movie or show during your flight, the airline offers a complimentary app that you can download onto your personal device before take-off in order to save any media that you would like to watch while in the air. During longer flights, travelers have the option of renting a tablet directly from one of the stewards, each of which is equipped with a selection of films, games, podcasts, and access to Wi-Fi. Additionally, you are allowed to use certain messaging applications for free on your cell phone without having to pay for the plane’s Internet.
Although Alaska Airlines flies to over 100 destinations throughout the world, the company’s primary hub can be found in Anchorage, Alaska.
Alaska Airlines has over 6 different planes in its fleet, with a majority of them being either Airbus or Boeing. While the Boeing 737-900ER is known for being able to fit the most passengers and for having the largest First Class area in comparison to the company’s other planes, the Airbus A320-214 can travel the furthest and is commonly used for the airline’s longer flights.
