Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

[@ITripReport]

If anyone high up in Alaska ever sees this, if you guys have an extra of the old bulkhead walls you'd like to discard, I'll gladly take it from your hands!

[@AIR.1.34]

Hi There! I’m Ishowspeed the ceo of alaska. To answer your question NOOO!!!

[@Blank00]

You should make similar statements to AA if they still have old seats and upholsteries in storage.

[@davidjulian8643]

We actually offload some of them at employee only auctions and fundraisers. So, if you wanna give me some cash , I’ll snag one for you ;)

[@Blank00]

@@davidjulian8643 Do you know if AA and UA do something similar as AA carries out Oasis retrofits and UA carries out Polaris retrofits?

I’d say liked them too

Flight attendant Steve here, You were awesome to fly with. It was a very good in-depth review and I do agree with a lot of your points. Thanks for being a great passenger and hope to see you in the skies again!

[@Jeauxnir]

Hi! Would you be able to confirm something for me? I saw a sign that pointed left for First Class Elite and right for General Boarding. I'm flying First Class. Would I go to the left in this case? This is my first time flying Alaska and I'm not sure if "Elite" is a status of some sort and don't want to be rude. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide 😊

[@festivepossum2808]

[@mikemcd]

I am SO HAPPY you posted this as I am about to fly on this plane. I am a huge fan of your videos, especially your ALASKA videos. I was wondering what ALASKA was going to do after retiring the Airbus A321's. Thanks for the great videos and I hope you continue to post your ALASKA flights. Perhaps you could make a flight about getting upgrades on ALASKA??? :)

I envy you that you have so much fun of flying. I am fascinated by aviation but I'm afraid of flying and fly only when I have to and it's absolutely necessary otherwise I tend to avoid it.

The new interior is awesome!

[@karlossargeant3872]

I Love these Trip Reports on Both Flights in America especially on Alaska Airlines now that there One World Club Members Like American Airlines & Other International Carriers maybe Southwest & JetBlue might Join in the upcoming years Virgin Atlantic is Skyteam Like Delta Airlines so that's good Also Awesome Trip Report & Awesome Video!!!!

Hey! Nice to meet you, have you done some traveling with Alaska airline?

I actually live near Seattle and use SeaTac quite often! I haven’t seen this part of the airport yet? Was this the new addiction they announced? It’s beautiful!

I will let you know as I take an AS flight from HNL to SEA and then onto GEG (final destination) in May.

[@Dianecoan]

How far do the first class seats recline? Great video!

[@Blank00]

The eco seats also lack the top part of the phone grip found in new seats and the USB port

[@ryanridder4576]

I like the new interior, but surprised they didn’t install the overhead bins and their seats. Would love to get Steve one day!

[@JmanAviation]

@ITripReport how’d you figure out N559AS had the new interior?

[@Blank00]

Will you fly on Alaska's retirement flights for A320 and Q400?

[@christophergutierrez8923]

I just flew Alaska today

[@thenungzo]

The old bulkhead wall was indeed better as well, at least to me.

[@reganrichardson2845]

Have all of the 737-800 fleet been retrofitted?! I’m looking at upgrading to premium on a flight from JFK to SEA…

[@johndornoff]

The first pictures I saw of the retrofit made it look like Alaska was moving towards American's horribly drab interior, but it is nice to see it in action and it is not as bad as American.

[@mikeklimczak9600]

It's worth noting that Alaska's lounge policy has since changed since this video was made. It's now open to only Alaska lounge members and those with an itinerary covering 2,100 miles. No more first classes passengers are being let in.

[@Roboseal2]

Honestly I love the 737MAX way more than the (crappy and loud in my opinion) non max.

[@RyanZiegler]

How did you get in the lounge if it's for flights over 2,100 miles?

[@buttdreads]

Is all the food free in the Alaska lounge

[@aptadpamu]

I am disappointed that they didn't replace the FC seats with the new Recaro ones, but I do like the look of the retrofit. Is the padding improved with the new upholstery? While I like the old bulkhead with sculptured carpet, it's looking pretty tattered, so I'm OK with the new look. I agree that AlaskaAir's real strength is it's cabin crew. Very few disappointing crew members on AlaskaAir's team.

[@Blank00]

While on the subject of recently introduced configurations, do you have any plans to fly on Delta's ex-Lion Air 739 or United's retrofitted 767-400?

[@ITripReport]

Ideally yes, unfortunately UA's 764 has been having a horrible on time performance, and very limited domestic turns. As for Delta' s Lion 739, im waiting a bit since the route it is currently operating is relatively expensive due to the high season.

[@eusebiochevochevo353]

excelente video,,cuando vuelas a portland oregon

[@Blank00]

Do you think Alask didn't give the 737-800 a full retrofit because they don't have enough money after spending it on retrofitting the Airbuses that they are retiring?

[@AIR.1.34]

You put the origin as phoenix and the destination as Seattle just so you know

[@mariachrzski18]

14:37 haha yes Total Drama!

[@thenungzo]

I personally prefer the older Alaska seats.

[@mbilly710]

What Alaska Plane are you on in the intro 737 800 or 900 in the normal livery

[@ITripReport]

One of the older 737-900s!

[@deenansxa9071]

As an Italian myself

[@get2dachoppa249]

AS has a mileage requirement for the lounge? Well, that's disappointing, but its why I watch these types of vids, need that info before I travel. Got a trip booked, SEA-SAN, but upon further review, its only 1050 miles.

[@ITripReport]

Yeah sadly it used to be every first class ticket had access, but that was changed quite recently

[@armoredgaming2352]

I cant imagine being in one of these aircraft on a long flight, for example, from the east coast to west coast which usually takes over 4 hours. No screens and horrible looking seats! How do people do it??

[@johnhenrikson5281]

Just a guess, but perhaps these 737-800's are near to retirement as the MAX's come in. Perhaps AS didn't want to spend the money on a full retrofit if the life of the current 800's are not long.

[@LakersAllDayyyKB24]

Is delta the only airline with TVs now??

[@ITripReport]

No, JetBlue is, and United is working on putting them back

[@clips2007]

Soooo, he punked u, and you got free miles? I'm still trying to figure out what happened. lol

[@jealousofmypuddin]

While I appreciate Alaska is updating its interiors, I like the original bulkhead design as it’s brand signature.

[@ITripReport]

I love the new interior, but something about the old bulkhead walls felt so cozy

[@clean317]

No other airlines near the runway. Lights not needed probably.

[@jcbaily5559]

Alaska has always been very special to me so it is disappointing on their retrofitting by removing the old front of the cabin and replacing it with something very bland and away from the Alaska theme. The new seats are just going to show wear/dirt faster so I am not sure of their purpose. The mood lighting is fine and the food looked good just not enough of it. All things change but it seems their changing without much thought to keeping Alaska's spirit.

[@cmgregor01]

What do you think about not having a bulkhead divider between classes (in favor of the flyswatters), Emiliano?

[@ITripReport]

I for one prefer full bulkheads, but I guess I am indifferent over the new dividers they installed, its better than nothing!

[@sammysan65]

I recently flew on one of Alaska’s max 9’s in row 4 (last row of first class). I would have preferred a bulkhead divider; would have made me feel less uncomfortable about reclining all the way and getting into the space of the seat behind me

[@cmgregor01]

Agree with you both - the flyswatters make the front cabin feel less premium

[@MsSkipperkim]

What was that noise the beginning of the flight? It sounded like a hair trimmer.

[@MsSkipperkim]

But why no leg rest?

[@chrisbungostudios]

Sadly, another airline that doesn't have a bulkhead between first and economy (not that Alaska ever did).

[@ITripReport]

To be fair they did way back in the 737-400 days, but yeah, its not something we were used to seeing on them. Thankfully we still have United on that department!

[@Blank00]

What will they do with the -900s?

[@Blank00]

@Christian will the ERs get full retrofits like the -700s or half retrofits like -800?

[@RNWDawg]

I preferred the MD-80 or whatever. With the engines mounted 100+ feet behind, 1st class was really like a magic carpet ride. The food choices in Alaska lounges currently are quite poor. They have the same tired, cold, chicken for weeks on end. Nothing hot except coffee. Marginal.

[@jarekjellison817]

Kind of disappointing to see they just reupholstered the seats as opposed to putting new seats in. No footrests in FC.

[@marklihsu]

So sad the lounge is only accessible for paid first class on flights longer than 2100 miles now. Were there really that many paying first class passengers that they had to institute that policy? I doubt it.

[@jasoncassady6286]

Was disappointing to learn that this retrofit is getting cancelled - but also not surprising, given low seat quality and lack of a third bathroom in the aft cabin.

[@kquttersanford3635]

Where did you find that it was canceled?

[@Blank00]

are you sure they put in new sidewalls? I don’t think it makes sense to put in new sidewalls if the new sidewall is not a Sky interior sidewall

[@jeffies2821]

Why are you giving Alaska a pass on not having seatback screens. When reviewing American you act like they are Spirit airlines for not having seatback screens

[@ITripReport]

Because Alaska never added screens then removed them from their aircraft citing "nobody uses them". Something american did! However, with my a320 retirement video, I will make sure I state how they took Virgin and basically destroyed them slowly, removing their fleet, their SFO hub, and some of their route network

[@kalapcalebyip5900]

So what happened to the cheese platter that you've originally ordered?

[@ITripReport]

My seat mate had asked for a cheese platter, he was told they ran out. Then the FA mentioned I had one pre-ordered (I pre-ordered it in economy and that transferred over when I got upgraded), so I offered it to him in exchange of some much needed protein.
