Looking in to an Alaskan vacation next May, and I noticed they fly out of San Antonio. I'd rather drive 2 hours and catch a flight than sell a kidney to fly out of Corpus.

No, but my family does all the time. Sister lives in Seattle, its HQ...she and her husband are heavy travelers. Mom is in Houston uses them whenever she can...she is high maintenance and only flies first-class. She hates United (don't we all).

For a large-ish airline, they both swear by them as being a lot better run than the majors.

My wife and I flew Alaska to the PNW in September, and it was great. I told her we should look into flying Alaska more because it was such a good experience. They were well-organized, efficient, and personable, and I was really impressed. She had flown Alaska quite a bit when she lived in Seattle and had the same experience then, so it seems it has been consistent over the years.

You should fly out of CCIA. It builds character.

Always fly out of SA when you can. Ive never had a bad experience there. Maybe its because I'm a chase saphire preferred customer, though.

I'll fly Alaska air anytime I have the choice. Better in first or coach than the other domestic airlines. Use them to fly to Alaska and Seattle often.

Flew them for the first time this year (Houston/ to Anchorage) and it was great.
Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.

I've flown Alaska Airlines out of Austin to Pasco (my brother lives in Richland) via SLC and via Seattle several times. I've also flown to Anchorage twice, Vancouver and Fairbanks. Austin has a lot more flights than IAH.

In the last 40 years:

Let's see:

1. Flight 261 - January 2000 - crash, all killed

2. Horizon Q400 - stolen and crashed, only fatality was the thief


How is that "tend to crash?

I take them frequently to Seattle. Pre-order the fruit and cheese platter to get some Beecher's and Tillamook cheeses during the flight.

Alaska is direct to Seattle from SA, so no reason to make a longer drive for a longer flight on a ****tier airline.

Corpus airport rules. Can get to your gate in about 10 minutes after getting there if not checking a bag. It's also decently nice and quiet. Rare bright spot for that city.

I flew Braniff out of Corpus in the 70's. They are still an operating airline, yes?

If you ever get a chance, go to the Fur Rendezvous event in Anchorage. It's cold, but pretty special.

I made a ton of flights with Alaskan Airlines. They're great. Similar to early Southwest Airlines.

Holland America cruse is all I know. Wife is setting it all up. I'm too busy and it is too far away for me right now for it to be reality.

727 service from Anchorage to Valdez - between 1975-1977

Probably not what you were looking for.

I always loved the planes with The Prospector on the tail. Before they made them all the Eskimo.

And, you know there's a Travel Board, right?

Sure there's a travel board, but few posters travel there.
