TRIP REPORT | Alaska 737-800 First Class

Shot on 30 December 2023, Alaska Airlines flight 1.

Welcome back to another trip report on a new airline for me and the channel! When flying back home after visiting family and friends over the Christmas I chose to try out Alaska's first class product. I'd never flown with Alaska before and heard good things about their first class so I decided to see what it was like. This Flight was the first of two with Alaska on this particular day.

Especially on this transcontinental flight Alaska provided quite a nice service. The food was tasty, the seat was comfortable, and the first class flight attendants were phenomenal. The one draw back is that Alaska currently doesn't have IFE systems installed on their planes. Despite this, I still had a great experience on board and would definitely consider flying Alaska on a transcon flight again. All in all, a great experience!

The other highlight of this journey was the First Class lounge in Seattle. With amazing ramp and runway views, the lunge is a relaxing and peaceful way to kill some time while waiting for a connecting flight. What an amazing space Alaska has created in their Seattle lounge!

Thanks to everybody for coming along with me on this adventure and ENJOY!
