Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Seattle to Boston 
rsmrostovFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jan 2026
If you have a small personal bag and a personal item you will be hustled to consolidate snacks on the flight of very poor so bring your own food and if you have an Android phone you likely will have issues connecting to Wi-Fi on the plane especially if the connection was dropped in the middle of watching a movie and then you attempt to reinstate it sometimes you have to clear browsing history and cookies becomes painful
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2024
Generally Alaska Airlines have very friendly and helpful people in my experience. They don’t have TVs in all planes so make sure to download their app if you want entertainment on the plane.
