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 !!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@QFSAviation maybe she did not want to be in your video. did you get her permission for her to be filmed? maybe his coat was flipping around her head as it looked like it was open
I like the Red Winter hat you are wearing, looking good. The woman saw your camera and probably thot she would be on TH-cam, 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
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
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
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!!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😃.
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!!
Only get the northern lights when the is good solar particles from the solar flares. And you got them, good for you, obviously shorter routes now, no longer 4 hrs to Seattle, thats good.
I really enjoy your trip reports - easily the best on youtube... the only thing I ask is if you could keep the takeoff and land raw and unedited except of course captions. (I am now reading that your microphone battery died so nvm:))
om July 18th ill be travelling from Omaha to Charleston with a layover at Chicago Midway on Southwest Airlines and spending most of my vacation in Savannah Georgia then on July 23rd flying Southwest Airlines from Charleston to Omaha with a layover in Chicago Midway all airplanes will be a Boeing 737-800 and I do not need to self quarantine since I will be passing through Chicago, Illinois
Nice flight, flew in from Philadelphia two weeks ago this past Monday, came in from the same direction, don't know why seatac landings are always from the north?
@@Robt760 And probably, like Iron Eyes Cody, it will turn out that he's really Italian, and the airline will have to repaint their whole fleet at vast expense.
Superb footage as always Quintin, but so sorry you had to spend a night in Seattle with wretched food poisoning. I suspect the onboard sandwich was the culprit.
my guess was the McDonalds at the Anchroage airport gave you that I have thrown up a day or two after travelling before back in 2016 from Orlando probably getting either stomach virus or being sorund a ton and there have been times i have had diaherra from eating in airports a day later so stuff like that happens, after i travel ill try to notice if theres symptoms of where i was at of places that closed or watching my immediate family i do know diaherrah is a COVID symptom but rear more unknown symptoms are common such as loss of taste and smell, plus know symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath
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.
When I was about 9 years old I flew on Alaska the first time. I even wore a bow tie because I was so excited because I thought I was going to finally get to meet the Eskimo from the tail of the plane. lol I still remember asking the Flight Attendant where the guy from the back of the plane was. She looked up and looked back and she was like who? I was like guy on the tail of the plane. I wanna meet him lol She told me he wasnt on board. lol So, if you see him on a flight. Let him know I been wanting to meet him okay? lol 1-3-21

I always thought the person who made this channel would be much older lol. Props for this dude.
Could be a woman thing to do, who knows.
Good to see you back, QFS!
Gorgeous views out of Anchorage. Awesome trip report.
Agreed
Think that’s gorgeous, you should get outside of los Anchorage! Then your jaw will really drop with the scenery!😳😉
Thanks QFS !!!
If I only can get a heart from my favorite travel reporter
I like the concept of the old font with the new colors. Great vid quintin and happy Independence Day🇺🇸!
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!
A 737-900 with eyebrow windows and no winglets. Reminds me of the 737-400s
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.
That must have been a long time ago because Alaska retired all their MD-80 aircraft back in 2008 if I’m not mistaken

On Too Alaska Airlines in this Trip Report Awesome Video Man!!!!!!
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
Great video man You made my day! These are amazing trip reports my guy! Keep up the great work
I think the elbow lady was just having a bit of fun with no ill intent. I want to think so anyway.
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
@@QFSAviation I agree, her expression could melt glass.
Stephen Pinder stereotype Karen look
@@QFSAviation maybe she did not want to be in your video. did you get her permission for her to be filmed? maybe his coat was flipping around her head as it looked like it was open
@@jamesnicholls9969 She looked flustered because she knew she'd been caught red-handed assaulting that man and it was now on camera.
Awesome through the window photography, especially on approach to SeaTac.
Alaska's livery has been that way for quite some time. The a320s acquired 5 years ago were the only ones left to repaint.

0:58 You can still see jetBlue, even more speed even though they terminated service at ANC
Those Northern Lights just fire bro!
Awesome vid, I would not like to be filmed tho, is blurring faces too much?
Can't wait till next anchorage video!
5:55 nice safety card collection

great report qman. maybe they should name this flight the "Nutcracker Special". be safe my friend.
excellent trip report, bro!! Someday in my life, I hope to visit Alaska. I'll bet it's pretty darn cool up there.

Nice one Quintin! Love these trip reports around Alaska, you're consistently putting out some of the most unique TR content on TH-cam!
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.
Great vid!
Aurora Borealis? In this video? From that plane? Viewed specifically from that window seat?

@@liflyer0413 this post is old by the way I ended up canceling this trip and flew to Savannah in 2021 due to how bad Covid was in South Carolina
You chose the perfect music to go with it
Looks like a good flight, but sorry you got the food poisoning. Hope you felt ok. I’m surprised that Alaska still had a wingletless 737!
12:30 before they serve the sandwich meal, they handed out elbow in the nuts and drinks😂😂😂😂
Nice flight, flew in from Philadelphia two weeks ago this past Monday, came in from the same direction, don't know why seatac landings are always from the north?
Just heard they are retiring these old birds I’ll miss them
N303AS is actually a Model Plane, with no wingtips, fun fact.
At 6:38, why there is a TV box in the foot well, if there is no IFE offered???
It's for the onboard power outlets.
@@foxpresso I think the reference was the video player that AS rents out on certain flights, or would be free in first.
@@paulwalker1443 maybe? They only offer those on coast to coast flights, served from a cart, so the boxes for just power always baffled me a bit.
awesome first class my bro,,,safe flight and happy nice daya
the new and old livery for Alaska airlines is fine for me as long as Eskimo Joe is on the tail thats how ill know Alaska Airlines
His name is Chester...according to legend.
@@Robt760 And probably, like Iron Eyes Cody, it will turn out that he's really Italian, and the airline will have to repaint their whole fleet at vast expense.
Hey I’m going tomorrow can you tell me what apps you use to see when the aircraft your flying was made
Superb footage as always Quintin, but so sorry you had to spend a night in Seattle with wretched food poisoning. I suspect the onboard sandwich was the culprit.
Thanks for the awesome review
Wow awesome video!! Thank you for posting it! What was the name of that song you used just before landing?
Cool video, what type of camera do you use?
Nice flight have a nice day

I don’t know which I like better, 737-900 with or without winglets🤨
Love your vid
Love the AV's Sweater !
Also, with the prop plane’s don’t be super negative about ride smoothness as the props make a less smooth ride
Did you like the 4th row?
If you can pick 1st row or 4th… which would you choose?
Hey do you have to have special permission to film on airlines like that? Just curious about how that process works cheers
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!
QFS Aviation Ah I see ok cool
I film on alaska all the time, Never been stopped because It‘s a good airliner,
@@QFSAviation No it isn't, You need permission to film, and individuals have the right to refuse to be filmed.
I watch several aviation reporters. One of them will blur out faces, and another tries not to film any faces. Different people have different methods.
When is the next time in anchorage?
yes the 900 was an original...had the eyebrow windows to...
I'm just curious why the FA asked if you were traveling first class?
was that the economy class seats
8:01 That music got me going......
Excellent trip report!
The crew seemed very nice:
You never fail to disappoint Q! Have a fantastic summer, and PLEASE include more ramp montages :)
Is that really what you mean--"Never fail to disappoint?"
The Enigmatic Eskimo, I think he's called.

Nice trip report I also like the livery it matches with the 737-900
Was that flight board just from that specific terminal? Because there were no United or American flights
Nice cutscene
Nice first air hat you got there
