I've heard very good things about flying with Alaska

Yeah, I fly between Pittsburgh and Seattle pretty frequently. Alaska is the only airline that has a direct flight. They also have decent leg space in most rows, and good service. Haven’t had a bad experience with Alaska yet

The leg space sounds wonderful. I did a flight from Vegas to back here non-stop a few weeks ago, and it was a little cramped.

When I lived in Seattle, I had to fly to Portland then take a tiny prop plane to Seattle. I'm glad they have a direct flight now!

...Now I live in MN and I'm SOL for direct flights under $400.

I recently flew Alaska for the first time and was surprised at how much leg room there was in just basic economy. Pretty solid to fly across country with more space.

Good to know. Friends kid is due in January so I was going to head out there for a few days.

I make annual trips to Seattle and I always take Alaska. Never had an issue with them, and their staff is far more friendlier than others.

Only times for us was between Chicago and Anchorage. Seemed fine. Was like 7 years ago, so the memory is a little fuzzy.

I live in Seattle and have family in Pittsburgh, so I was really excited when Alaska started flying NONSTOP to the Burgh!

I always hated changing at Ohare.

I’m the opposite, live in PGH, family is in Seattle. Having a nonstop flight between the two cities is amazing.

Also hate changing planes in Chicago. Always seems to be terrible turbulence when I’ve landed there.

Agreed! Nonstop flights are really important to me.

And every single time I have to change at Ohare, they charge the gate multiple times. I remember one time, just during a 90 minute layover, my gate changed ELEVEN times. I was running around like crazy!

When I was younger I thought everyone’s number started with 412

Were you at the Kraken vs Penguins game last night? I love flight 412!

I'd say they did that intentionally to reflect the city it's in

Yes, you did. But also any flight not going to Cleveland is the best flight

Their flight from Oakland to Hawaii is 808

Depends if you end up in Burbank (win) or Cleveland (nope).

Yeah that’s always my number from Seattle to Pittsburgh!

Yes you did but unfortunately you have to land in Cleveland(the mistake by the lake).
