World Flying Community Off-Topic Discussion (Part 18)

Hmm, I guess there were just a few without WiFi at the time then.

Btw, have you ever flown in Economy Premium or whatever they call it? Seems really silly to not upgrade while flying for 7.5 or whatever hours, and besides, sitting infront of the engine on a MAX seems really cool.

I haven’t flown the more premium economy, the latest flights I’ve been on were hardly an hour in the air so no point in upgrading, but for something like your JFK-ANC flight on a rather small MAX 8 then maybe you’ll want the extra comfort

When I did fly on the MAX 9 and -800s I didnt have any complaints on Seattle to/from Hawaii flights with basic economy

Yeah. I wonder how much an upgrade is. Between $15/100 or something? No idea.

It may vary, it may be cheaper to get a last minute upgrade (depending on seat availability) than booking premium economy or higher from the get go

Don’t quote me on that though, I’ve personally never done it but I saw the offers

Hmm.

Prob won’t do that though, since you won’t know if you’ll be having a window seat for example, among other things.

Seat map has this btw, not really sure what it means exactly.

That’s why I didn’t, especially with my flights misaligned windows on the E175s

The top one, very cool.

Shame they didn’t use the green outline on the tail though.

In terms of the older Alaska liveries, I’m more about the select 737s that had the leis on them, as that’s the livery I was first introduced to

Aren’t they all gone now?

Oh yeah those liveries are well and far gone

Last one repainted this year I think.

Alaska should really paint some retro liveries on their MAX 8s. I really want to see that extremely underrated livery that only lasted a year lol.

I got a copy of x-plane 11 since it was rather cheap on steam and I’m quite pleased that x-plane doesn’t need to download ~130gb and then load for a bit like msfs. also it supporting my system by default is a perk

@Canadian_Aviator Just spotted a WestJet 738, pretty cool ngl.

Gonna touch down in 30 seconds.

Also are people from Toronto supposed to sound like they’re from Australia?
