To attend the Alaska-Boeing event, I flew Alaska Airlines from Chicago (ORD) to Seattle (SEA) onboard a 737-9 MAX in first class and enjoyed a pleasant flight, with the exception of the Wi-Fi onboard.
It has been years since I’ve traveled on Alaska Airlines and I was excited to try a new plane on my outbound, though perhaps most irrationally, excited to try the cheeseburger onboard (part of me did hope that I’d get one of those old school 737s, though, with the carpeted bulkheads).
I waited out the delay in the American Airlines Admirals Club (thanks to my Citi AA Executive card). Boarding finally kicked off at 6:08 pm, our scheduled departure time.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
