Alaska Airlines
A major American air carrier, Alaska Airlines was founded in April 1932 under the name McGee Airways. Since its inception, the airline has been guided by caring, integrity, professionalism, ingenuity, and a sui generis spirit that has grown out of its geographical roots. The airline, in its 91 years of existence, has achieved various milestones in aviation, combined with endless tales of people being commendable to help others. Every milestone, good deed, and involvement in the community has helped the air carrier grow from a small regional air carrier to an international airline. Flying over 44 million passengers every year, the route network of Alaska Airlines sprawls over 120 destinations across five countries.
As the airline is extremely focused on enhancing passengers’ comfort and fuel efficiency, it maintains a young and modern operational fleet consisting of Embraer 175 and Boeing 737 aircraft. Whether passengers are going on a business trip or flying for a vacation, Alaska offers a travel experience tailored to their needs right from departure to arrival. Passengers can choose from four classes of travel, namely First Class, Premium Class, main cabin, and Saver Fare.
Speaking of inflight entertainment of the air carrier, passengers can choose from and enjoy more than 800 free TV episodes and movies in its entertainment library. Most of the airline’s aircraft feature its streaming entertainment system that enables passengers to watch TV shows and movies on their own devices by simply connecting to its onboard Wi-Fi network during their flights.
When it comes to food and beverages onboard, the inflight menu of Alaska Airlines is brimming with an array of bright, fresh flavors having taken inspiration from the food scene on the West Coast of the U.S. Freshly prepared snacks and meals are served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – with a vegetarian option always on offer.
