TRIP REPORT | Alaska Airlines - 737 900 - Anchorage (ANC) to Seattle (SEA) | First Class

[@octoberfalls6179]

The look on her face had me in stitches, having a bad day maybe, she surely knows how to make you feel welcome haha 😂

[@lukesinsigalli9045]

Airlines cool8 flight no the pax at 5:38

[@craigwillis3372]

Anchorage is now reported as the busiest airport in the world during the pandemic due to its geographical position !! Amazing !! The women looked a bit "loopy" anyway. Bet you were glad you were not sitting next to her mate !! Great take off vision and sound !! The Northern Lights vision was excellent !! Glad YOUR nuts were warm....at least that woman did not try and elbow them !! Love the way all airlines in America call this 1st Class...here in Australia Business Class at best !! I am tipping the on board food. !! Poor bugger !! Thanks mate and stay safe and well !!!

[@johndornoff]

Glad you didn't have to sit next to that lady, she might have tried to take you out mid-flight. I have flown several of Alaska's -900's but all of them were ER's with one being on its first day of service and the others were never more than a couple of months old.

[@juventisa23]

5:42 - 6:06 Was the first time that I have seen Quintin interact face to face with us LOL. But yeah that woman was something else hahaha.

[@tha_oz]

I always thought the person who made this channel would be much older lol. Props for this dude.

[@JmanAviation]

Could be a woman thing to do, who knows.

[@GenkisTravels]

Gorgeous views out of Anchorage. Awesome trip report.

[@lukemelton2966]

Agreed

[@troyottosen8722]

Think that’s gorgeous, you should get outside of los Anchorage! Then your jaw will really drop with the scenery!😳😉

[@Numbuh07]

A 737-900 with eyebrow windows and no winglets. Reminds me of the 737-400s

[@nateleech3887]

I like the concept of the old font with the new colors. Great vid quintin and happy Independence Day🇺🇸!

[@thereal84]

Good to see you back, QFS!

[@stephenpinder9567]

I think the elbow lady was just having a bit of fun with no ill intent. I want to think so anyway.

[@QFSAviation]

I’d like to think so as well haha. But then again the look on her face was so strange. Maybe if she gave a smirk or something it would’ve been funny

[@stephenpinder9567]

Great video man You made my day! These are amazing trip reports my guy! Keep up the great work

[@deepwoodguy2]

I like the Red Winter hat you are wearing, looking good. The woman saw your camera and probably thot she would be on KZbin, so might as well make the most of it , more memorable that way. 😎. Hope you got over your food poisoning OK... stay safe. good trip report

[@jonesrmj]

Nice trip report! That was pretty funny as you were boarding. I just got to fly recently, but I don't get to fly much. I wish I could fly as often as you! Great video!

[@johnmoss8230]

Awesome video love the type you flew on. Kinda cool a 900 that isn't an ER and no winglets plus the eyebrow windows I love it! Great video thank you

[@xthesauce1506]

If I only can get a heart from my favorite travel reporter

[@nenblom]

Some years ago, I flew first class with Alaska Airlines from Los Angeles (KLAX) to Portland, OR (KPDX) on one of their MD-80 series aircraft. I really enjoyed it.

[@ryanridder4576]

That must have been a long time ago because Alaska retired all their MD-80 aircraft back in 2008 if I’m not mistaken

[@goutvols103]

Thank you for your video. I think that it is criminal that Alaska airlines can call this first class service and not even offer individual inflight entertainment screens.

[@erauprcwa]

Studies were done (research and development) to show it saved the customer money to NOT have inseat IFE, it saved leg room, and the overall experience was better using your own device than when a seatback IFE screen breaks or doesn't work properly due to ware and tear. Faster to update the website for IFE rather than seatback screens which takes the entire airplane out of service, which causes revenue issues, ultimately affecting the passenger.

[@gracieeaster8663]

It‘s funny that Alaska isn‘t Alaska airlines main hub, It‘s actually seattle-tacoma! I find it quite strange to know its Alaska airlines and not seattle airlines or somthing, But other than that a fellow seattle tacoma resident proudly says seattle in amazing! Execpt for the protests 0-0

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Hell ya!! I love 737-900's!! They're the BEST!! My Uncle lives there!! Timbers logo!! (even tho I don't like soccer but) Love my Hometown in Portland!! Love that E Flat Pitched Motor taking off!!

Awesome vid, I would not like to be filmed tho, is blurring faces too much?

thanks for sharing the trip with us Q......................✈✈✈✈

[@ravensrulzaviation]

Alaska Airlines flies out of BWI in Maryland to Sea-Tac up to Anchorage, years ago, I lived in achoragee for over a month, flew united MD11 to OHare than new 757 up to Anchorage. Alaska airlines is always highly rated.

[@karlossargeant3872]

On Too Alaska Airlines in this Trip Report Awesome Video Man!!!!!!

Can't wait till next anchorage video!

[@mikeab93]

Awesome through the window photography, especially on approach to SeaTac.

[@nickhingle5534]

That woman looked like she didn’t like being on a video recording & was probably given that passenger a hard time. It’s really cool to see those mountains of snow on the tarmac 😃.

[@swiss0085]

Thanks i’m taking this flight at the end of the month

[@DanielTrue16]

Nice! Get to fly this aircraft this weekend up to Seattle from Tucson!

[@epopchock]

excellent trip report, bro!! Someday in my life, I hope to visit Alaska. I'll bet it's pretty darn cool up there.

[@TJMcCloskey8]

I flew on this plane back in July of 2018 from Oakland to Seattle when it still has the old livery on it. I didn’t realize how lucky I was at the time, but it’s one of the reasons I got into aviation

[@AidenVanDaele]

5:55 nice safety card collection

[@LordSkella]

This helped me decide whether or not to pick them since I have to fly back into SeaTac soon. Thanks, subscribed!

[@keythallenharris]

Yes you’re on a 737-900. Not all of the aircraft have been retrofitted at this time but are being worked on. The only reason you were offered a chicken sandwich is because you were in the 4th row and that’s all that was most likely left. You can preorder what you’d like from the menu before your flight on their website. Just a heads up on a few things that you didn’t mention.

[@marioimori]

That incident was what we in Brazil call "um lance estranho" (a weird and naughty situation). She burned you with her eyes pal! Thanks for sharing.

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Beautiful views. Awesome stuff. Very nice report 👍

[@mikeab93]

Alaska's livery has been that way for quite some time. The a320s acquired 5 years ago were the only ones left to repaint.

[@ethanstein42]

0:58 You can still see jetBlue, even more speed even though they terminated service at ANC

[@foxpresso]

Aurora Borealis? In this video? From that plane? Viewed specifically from that window seat?

[@jamani1086]

great report qman. maybe they should name this flight the "Nutcracker Special". be safe my friend.

[@LarcR]

Great trip video as usual. Sorry to hear about your trouble with food poisoning.

[@davidtorres6745]

You chose the perfect music to go with it

[@TodosLados]

Amazing views!!! Excellent report as always

[@jasonmoors1191]

While I have never had food poisoning from an airline meal,I have had it from a fast food meal,Taco Bell to be precise,thinking it was the lettuce in my hard shell taco. My friend and I were driving to an airline collectibles show in Dallas,threw up all night at the Red Roof Inn,stomach was still queasy the next morning. When checking out,told the desk clerk I had an 'accident' in the room,"What kind of accident?" "You'll find out!" I'm guessing when flying from Cold Bay back to Anchorage,you had a 3+hr layover,connecting with AS,having spent about 2 days in Anchorage. Really surprised the cabin crew didn't harp on you about your filming--had this been AA,there would've been lots of noise made--a pleasant surprise with your abrupt at-home comment about the lady in FC--my bucket list includes flying on AS from SEA-ANC,ride the Alaskan RR to Fairbanks and back,staying some days in Anchorage and Fairbanks,then fly home

[@onye0]

Great vid!

[@MSH3423]

Did you like the 4th row? If you can pick 1st row or 4th… which would you choose?

[@elotello]

Cool video, what type of camera do you use?

[@michaelsharp3615]

Southwest Airlines had 737-300s and 500s that had no winglets for a while until the late 200s early 2010s southwest airlines added winglets to the 300s and early 2000s for the 700s, now the split scimitar winglets are being added to the 737-700s and 800s and already have them on the MAX planes

[@erickondor5260]

I don’t know which I like better, 737-900 with or without winglets🤨

[@JelmersAviation]

What a beautiful video man!

[@jamani1086]

This Q re-view is sponsored by Coke with ice and warm nuts. Beautiful mountains and an Aurora Borealis sighting are just two of the highlights of this great video. Only downside was Qman got sick after the flight but thankfully he recovered. Be sure and hit the like and sub button. Well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!

Nice one Quintin! Love these trip reports around Alaska, you're consistently putting out some of the most unique TR content on KZbin!

[@Canadian76]

Hey do you have to have special permission to film on airlines like that? Just curious about how that process works cheers

[@QFSAviation]

I actually don’t technically have permission to film onboard since I don’t let the airline know ahead of time. From what I know, it’s in my rights to film onboard. Cheers!

Really sorry about getting sick after your flight. As always, outstanding recording and editing. I'm surprised (not in a good way) about the sorry excuse for a first-class that you were served. Weighing the cost of your ticket against the pretty modest first-class amenities, I think I'd go for premium economy. I really think Alaska can and should do better with first class.

For food poisoning the barfing is good, but you can also try drinking some 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with a fruit juice to make it more palatable. BTW I'm not a medical doctor, but this is what I would try.
