Hey Everyone,

I searched through the trip report section already and could not find the answers I was looking for. I am flying on an AS 737-900 TUS-SEA in about two weeks and I was wondering what kind of service/amenities I can expect in F-class. I don't expect to get a full meal, and I wouldn't guess the service is quite on par with say UA, CO, DL F-class, but I could be wrong. How are the seats? Do they have power ports for laptop computers? Seat pitch/width?

Thanks!

Seat width is around 20". Pitch is around 37". I find the seats on the 737NGs to be more comfortable then on the MD-80s and 737 Classics.

No in-seat power nor is there any IFE as the flight is too short for the Digiplayers to be offered.

If this is a dinner flight, you might get a full meal. Breakfast and Lunch will be lighter fare.

You should at least get a light meal on a real plate. I got a very nice lunch in AS first on a flight from PDX to ANC last summer.

To add to what Stitch said...

You'll have one dedicated F/A for 16 F seats. Service is usually very attentive and friendly. I don't fly DL or CO often, but I think the service is more consistent than it is on the legacies I fly more frequently (AA/US/UA).

The 739s are among the older 737NGs. I find the seats to be comfortable when in good shape, but often the lower back cushioning is worn out. It helps to have a small pillow.

Quoting Cross757 (Thread starter):

Actually AS first class is almost identical to those airlines. AS is a full service airline. They have the same service standards as UA, DL, AA... First class is a good product. And a unique feature is that for fully paid for first class, you get admission to the Alaska Boardroom lounge. AS is the only domestic airline that offers that to ordinary first class passengers. All the other airlines make you pay for lounge access.

The seats are leather and comfortable enough.

The food is ok. If it's a meal time then you will be fed. But be warned that you might not get a choice. Breakfast is usually very slim.


If you have never designed an airplane part before, let the real designers do the work!

Except he is flying out of TUS, where AS, CO, and AA are good in F. DL still doesn't serve meals on ATL-TUS in F. Behind the curve DL is.
