Alaska Airlines has just debuted its first safety video in its 94 year history, and there are some noteworthy things about it (thanks to Lester for flagging this)…
Up until recently, Alaska only operated narrow body planes, and none of those have seat back TVs. Therefore in its entire history, the airline never had a safety video on its own branded aircraft… until now.
One of those isn’t like the other one, as Alaska doesn’t actually fly to Sydney (Hawaiian does, but that’s not relevant to this). Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I have a hard time imagining that Alaska is just adding random cities to the video, and instead, I suspect this reflects that this will be one of the carrier’s next long haul destinations out of Seattle.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
