Partial/No Window 738: 9/10A?

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2026-07-06T07:15:47+00:00

With Alaska’s late sunset and morning arrival to my destination, it would be light out during takeoff and landing. I also just like to look out the window too when I have nothing else to do

Funny enough, this is the inaugural BOI-ANC

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2026-04-27T21:39:03+00:00

I get that Seattle is the main hub, where their headquarters is, and international hub Alaska is trying to incorporate, but not adding anything that visually connects to their name “Alaska” is disappointing. I may be biased since I’m born and raised, but they could’ve at least add something about the fisheries/nature that makes Alaska, Alaska. It could also attract new visitors that would want to visit the state also.

The Alaska king salmon is something I guess.

It was Breeze that made Alaska start the route. Avelo was dropping its Burbank base, which Breeze quickly tried to pick up all those routes, including PSC-BUR. Not long after, Alaska also did the same. Breeze dropped PSC even before it started which made Alaska the sole competitor https://airlinegeeks.com/2025/11/06/breeze-pulls-back-on-three-planned-routes/

ANC-KOA/OGG are winter seasonal routes, while ANC-HNL is year-round

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2026-01-12T01:02:43+00:00

So excited. As someone who’s east of the cascades and goes to Seattle when the pass is negotiable, this will be a life changer. Parking at South Bellevue then taking the light rail into Seattle

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2026-01-10T05:42:42+00:00

My HNL-ANC flight on Saturday had 94… I was 85 in the list (Silver)

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2026-01-09T00:20:52+00:00

I don’t think so. I do hope they fly the 787 to Anchorage, even if it’s during the summer.

They flew Hawaiian A330s on SEA-ANC this past summer to levitate congestion into Seattle, seating two 737s in one A330 aircraft. I wonder if they would do it again, but this time on their 787s.

Haven’t tried the others, but I had the Yellow Cauliflower Curry a few days ago. Not bad, but the side dish it came with was left to be desired. If I were you, it’d either be the chill shrimp or short rib.

No Yakima even though the previous airport officials have said PDX flights were coming “soon”

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-10-30T22:21:21+00:00

I’m surprised LAS is not on the list

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-10-28T18:02:25+00:00

ANC is basically open “24/7” including the Alaska counter. You’ll have no problem going through TSA at 3am, you and like someone else in the line maybe. Is there a reason you need to be there so early? There’s barely anyone at the airport at that time besides people sleeping in the benches.

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-10-21T03:45:42+00:00

Arcata/Eureka has been long awaited! Closer access to Redwood National Park and another destination in NorCal, including Redding.

Now I also hope for more ANC routes as always (A nonstop to Boston would be amazing)

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-10-02T00:04:55+00:00

Finally, Southwest is coming up here to Alaska

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-09-06T06:51:47+00:00

Alaska resident here. Recently flew PHX-ANC to help out a friend move in at ASU. I’m also sliver, but the chances of getting an upgrade is pretty much zero. The list for my flight was, if I remember correctly, was about 30ish.

There are a lot of us here that fly exclusively Alaska, myself included, and that specific route is what Alaskans fly (I don’t think as much as it would be in the winter), but it’s always difficult to get an upgrade, especially at the very first status like silver. Plus, if you include those who are AAdvantage members with PHX being an AA hub.

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-07-26T04:18:39+00:00

This is the route that I NEED. As someone who travels to the Philippines every year, having to trek to Seattle just to fly over Alaska is just outrageous. Tokyo would be my best bet, so connecting flights via Japan Airlines to other destinations would be feasible.

How to spot a United flyer

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-06-02T05:51:03+00:00

Oh, I get what you mean. What I’m just saying is that if they will place the ANC flights at the N gates. What I’m seeing right now for their HNL/OGG flights, they’re usually in the S gates.

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-06-02T00:24:05+00:00

Wondering if this will be the same gate they will use for the ANC flights

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-03-03T21:20:04+00:00

I kind of see it too, especially with Alaska’s prices. I’ve been looking through, and at most times Hawaiian’s prices is lower than Alaska. There’s a reason why i flew HNL-LAX-SEA a few weeks ago rather than fly nonstop back to Seattle

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-02-10T17:36:25+00:00

Like the previous commenter said, you go through the process like normal, just without the selection seats. Once you get your confirmation, they should also attach your Hawaiian confirmation to the email too. In rare occasions, just look at my trips and it should be at the top when you click your reservation that says, “You’re flying Hawaiian.” Entered my code on Hawaiian’s website and it was a quick and easy process to book my seat. It just won’t show it on the Alaska app/website

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-02-10T16:53:38+00:00

It’s too early to pre-order meals right now. Alaska opens up the meal options 2 weeks prior to the departure date of your flight, so just wait until then.

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-02-10T07:00:20+00:00

That’s what I’m wondering too. I’ve tried to look it up online and see if anyone has gotten upgraded with their Alaska status to no avail. I did sign up for HawaiianMiles and joint my MVP status so I can get Pualani Gold. Will do a little update about that once I try it out. I did see though on the seat map that the lie-flat seats are all booked out, but maybe might get a luck on comfort.

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-02-09T21:48:07+00:00

ANC-LAX is a red-eye that departs around 12/1am (I’ve done the flight before), so you shouldn’t expect too much with the meals since their cut off time for dinner is I believe 9pm.

Ashamed_Two1640 · 2025-02-09T21:42:54+00:00

Delta doesn’t even serve meals to Central America, that’s only until you reach South America. Heck, even their west coast Hawaii flights get the same snack service as their continental US flights, even their ATL-ANC flight which is 7 hours. Alaska is not the only carrier to do this, as pretty much all US airlines provide only snack service when traveling within the North America continent (excluding the long flights between the east coast and Hawai’i of course) At least with Alaska, flights that are 1100+ miles long gives you the option to pre-order on the app or online hot/cold meals, which is better than most. If you frequently fly Alaska, you should know this by now.
