Alaska by a FREAKING LANDSLIDE! Let’s go. I’ve always thought Alaska was secretly always the best airline. When people think of North American Airlines, they think of Delta, United, and American. Alaska should be apart of that

[@electricheartpony]

Alaska isn't that big unfortunately. I can't book an Alaska airlines flight on any day I please out of my local airport where I can do so with Delta, Southwest, United, and American Airlines

[@jwil4286]

Given they don’t offer any long-haul flights, it’s easier for them to prioritize the experience on short- and medium-haul flights.

[@amichellet3817]

Big agree on Alaska, Jeb! As a fan of your videos for a long time it’s great to see you join the Alaska fan club. PDX is my home airport and I refuse to fly any other airline for domestic flights unless I absolutely have to. There care and service has remained wonderful in the current environment.

[@MauiBran]

Aloha Jeb! At Hawaiian we still serve meals in main cabin with water bottles and limited soft drinks. As far as first class goes we still serve a full hot meal with appetizer, main, and dessert with coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages. I feel like we’re doing a lot more than the other major carriers.

Glad to be flying Alaska Airlines again in a couple of weeks from ORD to PDX. I'm very happy they're offering actual food options for first class and not just a snack box. I'm also looking forward to that empty seat next to me and that free lounge access on my way home. Great video!

Completely agree!!! I have been flying with Alaska for about 30 years and it's just unbeatable for your short to medium long flights. The attendants are wonderful, although some can be mask crazy.

3:40 Hawaiian Airlines also gives lounge access to First Class ticket holders. I have been in their lounges a number of times with a domestic First Class ticket.

[@Omikoshi78]

They also have lie flats on some routes. Much better than Alaska when it’s an option.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video!

[@ahirschfeld1974]

Excellent video! I have always been biased towards United for a good reason as my mother was a flight attendant for them for almost 25 years so... But recently I had a chance to fly on Alaska PDX-SEA-PDX for training as as Ground Service Agent for Horizon Air at PDX. After I got back to PDX for ramp training I decided that the GSA job was not for me and resigned. However I was most impressed with Alaska Airlines in general and will definitely try them again as a revenue passenger next time.

Great stuff. As a Oneworld guy, I'm happy to hear that Alaska took the top spot. Happy holidays, Jeb!

[@bluemanwelder]

I live in Seattle which is their biggest hub city and Alaska has a lot of non stops from sea tac. Which is what made me sign up for their credit card.

Thanks Jeb! Well Done! You've Changed My Mind! I've Always Been A Delta First Class Kinda Guy! Looks Like I'm Going To Change That! I'm Booking A Cruise On NCL For An Alaska Cruise In 2022.

As an Alaska 75k, I can't agree more! Jeb, try this again when COVID is over and I bet you don't change your mind. The Alaska Lounge has almost all of its drinks on the "comp" list for no charge, the catering on board is amazing with a multi course meal, and the staff are second to none. I am lucky to live in an Alaska focus city and can fly almost exclusively with them. Plus, now that they are joining OneWorld it will mean I can still earn miles and enjoy some FF perks while on American in some places Alaska doesn't fly.

[@mrmotel9977]

Great review Jeb! We've flown American Airlines Domestic First Class a few times since re-opening. Definitely disappointing in flight services but the rates are still off of pre-shutdown rates. I just wish they were more consistent. Recently we flew to Vegas from DFW - was offered drink service and snacks by a friendly flight crew on the way there. On the return flight it's almost like the flight crew was trying to hide from the First Class customers. Only when someone started dinging the service button they offered drink service to first class but acted like they were being put out.

Great comparison video, Jeb is always very professional. The prediction of a business class drop of up to 30% permanently is of course pure speculation, I've a feeling that within the next 2 years flying will be back to near what it was pre Pandemic.

[@AtlantaAviation]

Jeb, I totally agree. I've flown Alaska, American and United in First this year (with trip reports as well :D) and Alaska takes the cake for me. Drink menu, more food options and especially that warm cookie :D. United second with the drink menu and snack box with American coming in last for me. I unfortunately did not receive any drinks/snacks when I flew their CRJ-900 and LUS A321 (without the IFE). Great video as always!

[@ecclestonsangel]

Good to see you again, Jeb. Good news! The clock is starting to wind down on my grounding! After this month, I only have 2 more months to go. I speak to my doctor in January, and hopefully my restrictions won't be renewed. This coming year, I'll be allowed to travel the East Coast. First trip? Heading to ORF to visit my brother! Most likely I'll be connecting through ATL, so hope I run into you!

[@AviosAdventurer]

Really enjoyed this Jeb. I’ve only flown a handful of times domestically within America. Last year I had 3 x AA Domestic 1st flights, and was thoroughly impressed. I’ve heard mixed reviews about them, but I have to take my hat off to them. Everything was as good as can be. And the flights were 3-4 hours, so a flat bed wasn’t missed (daytime flight too). Things I enjoyed: - Food - Live TV - Cabin Crew - Comfy Seat This video has inspired me to venture away from One World next time I’m that side of the pond

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

[@cascaderails9340]

I'm pretty sure that I experienced the same American Airlines IFE system on my 777-200ER flight, and I gotta say, it's pretty awesome.

[@shadowduck02]

Blocked seats have already somewhat gone away even on Delta.. i saw it happen today... yes Delta is blocking all MIDDLE seats. But to have a middle seat you need a 3 seat row. On planes (like the 717) which are arranged in a 2-3 configuration you COULD have a seatmate on the 2 side. This is true in Main Cabin or Comfort+.

[@l.ls.8890]

I like Jebs analysis however, I’m so not into the flying mood at this point in time. Maybe next year.

I love flying southwest though. Even though its economy and no first class or business class. I know there ain’t IFE screens but i love looking out the window and watching movies or napping.

[@shannoncloete8161]

Love your videos Jeb! We in Australia domestic business class (your first class) is FAR more expensive; it’s actually ridiculous.... we have little competition... thus the price wars are now starting; with added new Virgin Australia owner and Rex local airline. Thus in USA you get better prices; for domestic business class “first class” than we do eg: 60min flight here or 90min Qantas is $1200-$1800 one way! AUD As you mentioned in other videos USA our Australian domestic “business/first” is much better than Europe domestic eek....! Those are shocking! Lounges access as you point out; we get that on all domestic business class no matter ticket (all business domestic business class) get access OR if you buy membership lounge / or are a loyal platinum/ gold memberships with airlines - hence Qantas is preferred (based on membership numbers) as they have more partners as One World Members, I love this and has helped a lot! Thanks mate keep flying safe - cheers

Jeb, Thanks for another great video. I was surprised to see that Delta was not on top since you typically see them as the best. Also if you see this message I sent you a question on Instagram and was hoping to see your response. Thanks in advance and gave a good holiday.

[@williamkraft5574]

Jeb, thank you for all the videos you put out for all of us to watch and enjoy!!! I'm curious which airline do you personally feel is the most safety-minded due to the Covid 19 right now. and which one do you think would be the most safest minded by the end of the first quarter if let's say only 20% of the passengers have received a vaccine? Which airline is already packing every seat possible in the economy and first-class cabins? Do you think any airline will still have an empty seat next to you if you happen to be a regular Joe still flying in the economy class section by the end of the first quarter of next year? Which airlines are already packing their planes or which ones are still flying a limited amount of passengers per aircraft? I know you already mentioned Alaska and Delta are still keeping a seat open between each passenger. I thought Southwest is still doing the same but will be packing the planes after the first of next year. I don't know of any other airlines that are keeping open seats. I will continue to do my homework but would really like to know from you since you have a huge knowledge base of most airlines. I apologize for all of my huge amount of questions. My curiosity comes because I'm planning to fly next week and also close to the end of March. I have a mother that is 90 yrs old and has asthma...she, of course, won't be flying and hopefully will already have been given a vaccine shot by the end of the first quarter of next year and that will be so much less stress on me. If money isn't an issue which airline would you choose for either first class or economy class?

[@olivt1513]

You compared each airlines' CRJ2s a while ago, you should also compare their E175s

[@ericmadison4653]

JetBlue might be seting a standard for a domestic first-class product I would not be surprised to see Alaska and the big three American United and Delta going to one to one configuration or a staggered 2x2 configuration with direct aisle access we shall see in the future

[@johndornoff]

Having flown Alaska for years, I will have to say that they are the best overall carrier and I wish I still lived in one of their hub cites but sadly my work took me to a city only served by American or an hour drive to fly Delta and United however I can drive 4 hours to fly Alaska. It should be noted that the IFE in that 737 of American you flew will be gone soon as they finish up their "Oasis" project. I few Amerian in October and November with on flight being on their Envoy Air subsidiary and was good. Then flew DFW to Chicago on a 787 and the flight was good except for our FA who did her job but was not friendly at all.

[@dougstimesharetravels9378]

3 years down the road and it seems little has changed, except the flights we’ve been on have been mostly full and IT issues have caused major disruptions. I’ve noticed American now lists most of the domestic routes we fly as business class, nit first class. We fly from a midwestern regional airport and connect through the airlines hubs, so the majority of our flights are under3 hours. When all legs are closer to 2 hours, we’ll fly economy, otherwise I’m looking at the first-business class seats. When flying economy I’ll typically look to SWA’s, mainly for their boarding process and the ability to purchase my way to an A1-15 position. This nearly always ensures I can select seats within the first 10 rows, which is important to my slightly claustrophobic wife and makes it easier to make a tight connection. Modern “first” class reminds me more of what flying economy used to be back in the late ‘60’s or ‘70’s. Maybe it’s just fond memories from my childhood, but there always seems to be more room and more attention to service, even in the cheap seats. Meals have made their return on the longer flights, although I can’t say I’m overly impressed. We don’t book the seats for the meals. In our case, we book them for the extra room, not having to deal with a rube who doesn’t know the meaning of personal space and not having to deal with the gate lice, which li e up and crowd the boarding area three boarding groups ahead of their own. In the old days, it occurs to me there were three classes of domestic service, first, business and economy. Business class was eliminated on domestic routes long ago and was reinvented as economy plus several years later. As things have evolved, it’s now first class that’s been eliminated with business class evolving to take its place. I suspect this is partially due to the aging demographics of our population. We are now in our 60’s with more disposable income and we’re more likely to pay for those larger seats and better service, including priority lines at the counter, true priority boarding, in some cases priority TSA lines and priority checked bags which come off the carousel first. First class offers a level of service we’re not typically willing to pay for a shorter three or four hour flight. Business class however offers a better flying experience at an affordable price. That will fill those seats with paying passengers rather than upgraded passengers so the airline can sell a few more economy seats.

[@preahko]

Good video. Other ways to get into lounges: Alaska, $50 day pass on your Amex Platinum card, will be refunded in full as part of your yearly $200 airline incidental credit (provided you have Alaska chosen as your airline!); if you're flying Delta and you hold the Amex Platinum or Amex Delta Reserve card, you get into the Delta lounge (not to mention Amex Centurion lounge) for free.

[@DeltaBravoPhotography]

The only real difference in cabin cleaning that I've noticed is that now what used to just occur during the overnight shifts (deep cleaning with full vacuum, spray and wipe down all surfaces, etc) is now also happening between all, if not most, flights during the daytime... albeit a more expedited process with electrostatic sprayers to keep turnaround times and delays at a minimum... and at most line stations (smaller airports) the cleaning during a turnaround is usually taken by a lone ramp agent or in some cases, the gate agent working the flight... not a whole team of cleaners as is often portrayed in clips seen lately... regional jets especially, as there isn't a whole lot of room to have a team of 4 or 5 cleaning without everyone bumping into one another... narrowbodies can be knocked out with a team of 2 or 3, but again, at smaller outlying stations it's a one man/woman operation when it comes to cleaning...

[@LeviRamsey]

It's also worth noting when disambiguating domestic first vs. international first, that for the EU carriers, short-haul business class is economy (sometimes extra legroom, sometimes not) with a blocked middle seat (and in an RJ, generally not even a blocked seat), or in other words, if you're flying Delta in these times, "main cabin or maybe even comfort+" (though to be fair, EU shorthaul business class typically includes a meal, even on a flight whose distance wouldn't get you more than snacks in first class in the US). Even in Asia, short-haul first/business class is at best US domestic first (2-2 recliners with a 36"-ish pitch).

[@kenblack1051]

First, thanks for your videos; I really enjoy them. I was (am) a business traveler until the pandemic. I live in DC so American is the hub here. I wish it was Delta. I love having the IFE systems included and we now see fewer and fewer in the American domestic flights. In addition, prior to the pandemic, some of their planes were so old and uncomfortable it would really anger me. It was almost like they were saying, we're the biggest and we are here; deal with it. At least Delta takes care of their planes and it feels like they care more about the customer experience. Just my observation. Again, love your videos.

[@kvirzi]

Delta has the oldest fleet and American has the youngest fleet. Not saying anything about service or offerings, but when it comes to metal, AA is debt because they bought so many new planes. Delta is finally getting rid of some old MD aircraft and ancient boeing planes, they have needed an overhaul for many years.

[@alexnolan1846]

First class today feels like what coach was in the 90s and early 2000. It sucks with American pulling out IFE seat back monitors but they were usually very large and you lost about 25% of your foot space because of the computer. With many business travelers having their laptop and iPad with them I feel like it's not a huge stretch to be working while your movie plays on the other appliance. Meal service was also pretty much dwindling even before the pandemic. I would usually fill up in the Admirals Club and sneak a snack on because I anticipated it being a little more than a snack.

[@arizona7377]

Larger planes on shorter routes? I love it when you get to fly larger planes. I got to fly a Delta 767-300 on a shorter domestic route.

My dads Fly delta because they have good international benefits. I fly Alaska because they have better domestic service and customer service. This year my Mom and Dad and I where going to go to DC in October. Bought my first class ticket in march on an Alaska flight with similar departure and Arrival times as theirs. Covid happened and in september we decided to cancle the trip. As luck would have it for me, alaska had also cancled the flight and changed me to one that was almost 2 hours later than the original (though still a direct flight. My dads delta flight became one with a 35 min connection in detroit). Under Alaskas policies I was able to get a full refund even though Id used miles to buy part of the Ticket. It was also amazing (and some what scary) That they had my phone number linked so they knew exactly who I was and what Flight I was calling about when I called them.

I knew Alaska was gonna win this contest. I’m fine with their lack of IFE. I always have my iPad, so I can watch my stuff on there.
