TRIP REPORT | Alaska Airlines - 737 800 - Anchorage (ANC) to Bethel (BET) | Economy

Alaska Airlines is (obviously) Alaska's largest air carrier. They help connect isolated villages to the world. Bethel is the largest community in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta area. The snowy scenery was beautiful on the morning of this flight!

After editing this trip report, I realized that it’s 5 minutes longer than the duration I aim for. Please let me know if I should keep my videos quicker or stretch them out!

[@hannymcfee]

QFS Aviation it’s actually better being longer👍

[@MarkG_14]

The longer the better.

[@umpireoba]

The more the better sir

[@davidberryman9688]

QFS Aviation The length was just fine.

[@dlbrittain1976]

your doing ok ....great work

[@James-qd4ox]

Alaska looks so beautiful it’s almost unimaginable. It’s on my bucket list to visit one day

[@skylensproductions8170]

Favorite Alaska airlines livery has to be either the "honoring those who serve" or the "100 years strong"

[@QFSAviation]

That one is amazing for sure!

[@maxsaviation9512]

My favorites livery of all time is the American PSA retro livery on the A319.

[@oneworldman0]

41k Feet cool! This morning I saw the honoring those who serve going from anchorage to one of the bigger islands off the coast. (Sorry I don’t know which one)

[@skylensproductions8170]

@@oneworldman0 I have yet to see that here at my home airport in Kansas City. I've seen it in SFO tho. Ive caught the honoring those who serve E-175 tho!

[@skylensproductions8170]

@Jamie S that one is pretty cool

[@GradeAMemes]

QFS Aviation: *flies economy* Me: 😱

[@burtmacklin3215]

I love that old livery.

[@hawk4174]

That "Dreamlifter" wonder if that was Kelsey at 74 Gear.🤣

[@lukemelton2966]

I love a good mystery!

[@Shaneodell35]

You have one of the best trip reports channels because you give details about your flight and the topography of our flight. Why I have watched many, more since quarantine. Ten or fifteen minutes jammed packed is great. Love your humor too. Thanks for your hard work. We all enjoy.

[@TodosLados]

Beautiful video from start to end. Amazing Montage!! Thanks for an excellent job...as always!

[@jamani1086]

qfs videos, the next best thing to being there. thanks for sharing. be safe.

[@pierrenine5775]

I love that you take us to places I`ve never travelled to. Your work is exceptional Quintin.

[@jpoconnell8]

My goodness that new Alaska livery is beautiful.

[@manuelgorgulho2209]

That was a great trip report. In my opinion, it's your best to date. Thank you.

[@beaconapuzzo6019]

Great trip report. Thank you for consistently producing exceptional content. I love the old Alaska livery.

[@mylosairplanefan]

Awesome video man! Loved the editing style, nice planespotting footage as well :) Great work!!

[@richardc8738]

Always well filmed. Always interesting. Thank you for continuing to post.

[@Altenholz]

Great atmosphere during the drive to the airport. Somehow you rarely see pictures with snow, really very beautifully made - thanks!

[@-justin_mait-]

Amazing video, as always!!

[@airtimetv3922]

Quality content, loved the ig live the other day as well!

[@timgerard262]

Nice video, no BS. Just good music and snow.

[@aidanawesome8541]

Amazing flight report! The plane spotting montage was stunning! 🔥

[@onye0]

That was a Great trip report!, Great Vid!

[@brianmcdonald6519]

Great video! Loved the winter scenery, but glad I was not there!! As for length, I think that 15-20 minutes is a good time for a trip report. You gave us plane spotting, flight details , and info on the airline and the airports. Good job!!

[@jamani1086]

Thanks QFS !!!

[@ShawnsTravels]

These intros are getting better and better. Excellent content the B roll is perfect!

[@franrc265]

My favorite Alaska livery is the more to love livery! It's so pretty

[@GeoFSTimelapsesandAviation]

QFS Avation. I love that your videos are longer! I really love your videos and content. Keep up the great work to your videos and content.

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks Ben! I appreciate it

[@GeoFSTimelapsesandAviation]

@@QFSAviation Thank You!

[@valenpieri]

Love your videos keep it up!!

[@Afa913]

In case you didn't know, there's a bar/heritage display/amphitheater area upstairs. It's near the Starbucks in the C concourse. Just take the elevator up one floor. They may have it blocked off though due to covid, but once things get going again, it's a great place to relax and plane watch.

[@epopchock]

Nice trip report. I think that both the new and old livery of Alaska Airlines are cool.

[@liamhosking2947]

Great job as always Quintin! I saw you at the Airways Magazine inaugural live stream! Also, I don’t mind the extra length. ❤️✈️

[@planespotterkarl2783]

Such a cool video, nice job. Gotta love Alaska.

[@filipostrich4563]

I’m loving the Alaskan aviation, show us more!

[@TariqAviation]

Ur tripreports are best. Well done and keep it up

[@philipwu1106]

Great video! Bethel’s a curious little town! I flew there on an Alaska Air 737 Combi. That was really interesting and quite an experience.

[@flyingdentist]

wonderful wingviews with these split scimitar winglets.

[@ikhalifapro]

The editing is so amazingly good!

[@KeemBeckford]

That plane spotting montage was beautiful!

[@strafrag1]

Excellent video. Great tour of ANC and BET.

[@fsxmd90]

AWSOME VID BRAH

[@nicoprabowo]

Love your content. I believe what you've been doing inspires young generation to do something useful for others. I look forward to watching your report trip with asian airlines. Keep a low profile 👍🏻

[@madeira69]

Great video as ever!👍

[@tottui15]

So beautiful

[@alaskafan21]

As for the Livery of Alaskan Airlines I personally like the specialty ones. That is the ones of Disney, state insignia, and sport franchises. Alaska Airlines is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing this video. Peace brother.

[@SkyblueAviation]

Dude, Anchorage is basically what Iqaluit or Kuujjuaq airports would look like if they were big. I just love it! Gotta go one day 😍

[@jonnyka9319]

Such an interesting Route up there.

[@manuelhauck6657]

I will definitely visit Alaska , very nice video.

[@AndrewBuntenAdventures]

@QFS Aviation, once again you have made an excellent video on the wonderful winter setting of flying in Alaska. I live in Fairbanks and it’s about the same flight time as this flight you took to Bethel. It can be a hit or miss when it comes to snack service on the “Hour flight” service as weather and winds can affect if you get an early arrival or take up the whole block for the flight. Great job and if you’re ever in Fairbanks, let me know as I would like to meet you someday. Andrew from Fairbanks, Alaska 😇

[@bayareaaviation17]

My favorite Alaska Airlines livery is between, “Most-West-Coast”, San Francisco Giants Livery, Portland Timbers Livery, or their old Eskimo one that you flew on in this video!

[@redcomusic]

Nice one, Q! I've always wanted to do the ANC-ADK, which is the longest "in-state" flight in the US. And also to Barrow. - Red

[@craigwillis3372]

Looks a bit cold out there mate. I understood Alaska Airlines are actually based in Seattle in Washington ?? Great views out the window Quintin...the BEST in flight entertainment !! Well done as always Q and keep posting what you can when you can and stay safe and well !!

[@TripReportaviation]

Beautiful video

[@lrg3834]

I really appreciate your rating system and ticket price disclosure at the end of the video. You get a better feel for the overall airline/flight experience.

[@marcos6971]

New livery is my preference. It looks modern and the green and blues palette gives off PNW vibes. The More to Love livery is my favorite out of all.

[@ITripReport]

Don't let this video distract you from the fact that Alaska isn't even based out of Alaska... or let alone the fact that their biggest market is California... something here just doesn't add up.

[@QFSAviation]

So what lmao what’s wrong with an airline named after the most beautiful state but based in Washington

[@thereal84]

Well, there is no Air California! Or Washington Airlines...

[@auggith]

Lmfao imagine “Seattle Airlines”

[@punnequraq]

okay? do you even know the history of the airline?

[@logansaviationadventures]

I prefer shorter videos great job qfs love your vids Alaska airlines is amazing love them so much

[@geraldturner9764]

Stationed in Kodiak for 2.5 yrs with USCG. Alaska flying and AK in general is the best life. It hurt to watch this and the Saab video, I miss AK so much.

[@calpal9983]

Amazing editing!

[@geraldturner9764]

Once from Seattle to Anchorage we had apple slices and caramel dip. So good.

[@RobMiami787]

Nice review, love the plane montage! Some serious mountain ranges up there. Thanks for sharing That interior tho ☹

[@foxpresso]

The old livery definitely gives northern chilly vibes but the newer one feels very modern West Coast. I'm very torn but feel more fondness for the newer one. Also much love to the former red/white look of their Airbus fleet :p

[@december241]

@3:12; NA362NC Northern Air Cargo 737-330F. We still have that and fly that.

[@cokecansandwinglets5783]

Superb video, I approve from my seat at Gate E14

[@Alaska_Aviation]

Nice , a flight from my home state

[@seanpeters3690]

That's so awesome. I live in Dutch Harbor, AK and have spent lots and lots of time in the Ted Stevens Anchorage Airport. If you go out to Dutch Harbor once Covid is over, please do a trip report. 1:55, that's what we had to take after the Pen Air Saab 2000s (owned by Ravn after 2018) stopped coming out here, and currently, since Ravn is bankrupt, the best option is taking the Alaska Airlines jet to Cold Bay, and then flying Grant Aviation to Dutch Harbor. Hopefully we can fly direct to Anchorage again soon. :)

[@edboysega321]

That's dope you got to see the Portland Timbers livery

[@SussypizzaYT]

I like the Alaska honoring those who served livery I like aviation alot

[@nenblom]

I don't know what it's called, but the livery on the plane you flew on is my favorite and, of course, the face of that native American on the vertical stabilizer is fantastic! Thanks for another great trip report!! BTW, I'm sure that without the airport and Alaska Airlines, Bethel probably would not exist.

[@pauloverissimo8595]

Nice views

[@CaptainAirplane]

Nice video

[@matthewkrohn6486]

i would LOVE to see more of the heritage type of paint scheme

[@alexmathews7658]

Alaska airlines current cocloir scheme is really beautiful But most of all I like their logo which is unique.

[@Tre86Q]

Loved the plane-spotting montage at ANC. I vote for AS's new livery, hands down. It's clean and sleek compared to the old livery with the busy double cheat-lines. I like the updated font and stylized Eskimo logo on the tail, which tells the world the aircraft belongs to Alaska Airlines. I can't figure out why AS hasn't covered up the "Proudly all Boeing" inscription on their 737s (AS not only flies Airbus aircraft, but its logo and name also appear on Horizon Q400s and SkyWest E175s). Another mystery is why it's taking so long to update the liveries.

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

Growing up for a few years in rural Alaska, I used to take this flight all the time on the 737-200 Combis that would fly throughout the state. I miss those old birds. I don’t miss Bethel, though. 😂

[@QFSAviation]

That must be a great memory to have! I'm sure you don't miss Bethel too much haha

[@kreativeflicks]

* SUBSRIBED!!!!* Excellent work! Normally I can't stand music with aviation videos... but I think ya know what you're doing and it works! ;-)

[@savvyadam8479]

Shout out from Nova Scotia (land of The Trailer Park Boy)! :D

[@darmer3026]

Good video

[@lukemelton2966]

Awesome trip report, love your channel soooo much! I really like the old Alaska livery, but my favorite is probably the "salmon thirty salmon". One question, do you ever feel weird filming in the planes or airports, and are you planning to work in the Aviation business? (Sry, I know that was long, but thx for reading it!)

[@mikev.6705]

Thanks for sharing so we can watch without getting cold! :D Have to disagree though, I love Alaska's new livery! (United's new livery is great too compared to the boring one before it :D)

[@QFSAviation]

Someone has to brave the cold haha! United’s new livery is very nice. It grew on me!

[@alexalexov6019]

Классно! Обожаю Аляску!!! 🙂

[@aviation_tus]

I like the more to love livery.

[@aviation_tus]

Nice vid BTW!

[@jamani1086]

This Q re-view is powered by coffee and snacks. another really good report with awesome photography, editing, and montages. I highly recommend this video and after watching it you should hit the like and sub buttons. Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!!

[@ESAER20ANOS]

Ansioso para você fazer um Trip report de alguma empresa brasileira. Eu trabalho na Latam Br! Seria incrível te encontrar. Obrigado pelos vídeos!!!

Hey buddy. Been waiting and hoping for you to do a report on Qantas....come for a ride down to Sydney one day soon.

[@DEEN133]

The video duration is OK. Nice footage to enjoy Alaskan sky space and airport. It's better to take next Alaska journey in summer for better view of landscape. Overall good attempt and uploading.💂

[@cyriluebbing22]

Nice

[@ryanbean7209]

What Alaska livery do I like the best? Definitely the one that says 'Virgin America' across the side ;) Never thought I would miss an airline that much...

[@jw4786]

Would be cool if you did some hotel reviews too!

[@ricardoflores4910]

Love Alaska airlines my favorite livery’s se who serve more to love old livery and new livery my dad works for Alaska airlines and I always loved it I wanna be a pilot for Alaska airlines

[@auggith]

Yeah they’re pretty great. I wouldn’t mind flying for em either

[@AviationMaster]

Stay safe! :)

[@thanhleusacuocsongmy8168]

wow when did you filmed this? Looks like there' still a lot of snow for this month of year.

[@daviscmiller]

whats the song in your intro? great video mate!

[@chaseangaiak7634]

BETHEL IS MY HOME TOWN

[@airlineplane3718]

One of the first passenger flights at anchorage I see 😂

[@DamianHayden]

great video as always! if you don’t mind me asking, where do you get the funding for all these flights?

[@ijbos620]

Between the two main liveries, in terms of livery I think the new one is better, but the old one reflects a "better" era where Alaska was smaller, and didn't have a320s (I really wish they stayed "Proudly All Boeing")
