Prologue:

Hello and welcome to this one day trip that I took with Francis to SEA back in Feb.

Since our "woof" has never been to the West Coast of the US, we decided to visit SEA as an introduction to the Pacific Northwest. The flight from SFO to SEA offers some of the most beautiful sights from above and our trip did not disappoint.


Quick visit to the AMEX Centurion lounge to grab some breakfast.

After breakfast we walked towards AS T2 from T3.

The AS terminal was full of signs and displays promoting AS as a caring airline. It's a good airline but personally I don't think that they are as "exceptional" as they claim to be.

We were seated in the Premium area with extra legroom and free bar service.

Service started and the FA did his job efficiently without any smiles. Best care? I don't think so.

Tickets were sold out but tried our luck by asking the attendant and they let us in.

Summary:

The tickets were cheap and the flight was on time. Alaska took us there efficiently and that's all we could ask for. The premium seats cost $49 to pre-reserve and it was not bad as a splurge.

SEA is a beautiful city and if you catch it on a sunny day it makes all the difference.
