Seattle

A recent article from a UK outlet offers a European perspective on Alaska Airlines as it begins its new transatlantic service between Seattle and London Heathrow. The piece notes that while the airline is well known in the United States as a friendly, customer-focused domestic...

Used to fly JetBlue nonstop between Boston and Seattle for years after moving from the west coast to Boston. It became the go to airline for visiting family because avoiding layovers on a 5+ hour trip made a big difference. Even got the JetBlue credit card to stay loyal and keep...

Recently flew Air India and paid extra through the app for first row seats specifically for the extra legroom. When we boarded, the seats we were given didn’t have any additional legroom at all. That was the whole reason we paid for them. We were also traveling with a young...

Booked HA899 HNL to SEA this morning. Checked the inbound last night, saw the plane had arrived, figured we were set. Get to the airport and departure is pushed 45 minutes. Plane swap. Fine. Still an A330. Then another hour delay. Then another. Gate area turns into chaos with...

Looking at booking first class on the HA 787 from Seattle to Honolulu at the end of February. From what I’ve read, the 787s are eventually supposed to move to more international flying, so I’m a bit nervous about an equipment swap. There’s still a 3:45pm SEA to HNL flight...

I booked SEA to HNL on 3/1 specifically because it was showing a 787. About two weeks later, it got switched to an A330. Wondering how realistic it is that it switches back to the 787 at this point. I’ve been checking schedules and can’t find any morning SEA or LAX to HNL...

Just saw this and figured it was worth sharing. Alaska dropped a 32% off promo code for nonstop SEA to Tokyo (NRT) and Seoul (ICN), including Hawaiian-operated flights. Code is SEAASIA. Works on departures Sunday to Wednesday, returns Tuesday to Friday. Travel window starts...

Nintendo of America is used to fans stopping by. You can go into the lobby, take photos with the statues, and grab pics of the sign outside. You just can’t go past the lobby or wander the building, but that’s clearly marked. Staff won’t be annoyed as long as you’re respectful,...

Got an email from Hawaiian offering a bid for the lie flat premium cabin on my 12/12 SEA to Tokyo flight. Minimum is 620 dollars. It’s a 10 and a half hour flight. I paid 1100 for two tickets earlier this year and now the same flight is going for around 6k for two, so I’m trying...

Heads up if you’re flying a long haul flight out of Seattle. AS started diverting flights for fuel today due to the pipeline leak at SEA. I’ve seen flights to JFK and EWR all get diverted. Delta cancelled a lot of their long haul flights, but my guess is that DL will rebook PAX...

Looks like Fiji Airways is thinking about adding Seattle to their U.S. network, leveraging the Oneworld partnership with Alaska. They’ve already got LAX, SFO, HNL, and now DFW and are planning to grow more with U.S. connections. Honestly think this could be a solid replacement...

Tried the new ICN–SEA flight on 9/21 and it didn’t go well. Sat through 5 hours of maintenance delays before they finally canceled because of crew hours. Whole thing felt dragged out, no loudspeaker updates, just left hanging until hours later. I love Alaska and want this route...
