Flying the Alaska Dash 8 Across Washington State
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- After the Aha! inaugural, which now turned out to be my one and only flight on the airline, I had to go back to the Bay Area. That took me through Seattle on Alaska Airlines, the first flight aboard their Dash 8 Q400 in the Oregon State Beavers livery across the state of Washington. Due to a storm on the west coast at the time, delays were common up and down the coast, especially up in the Pacific Northwest...so of course we had to participate in that as well. Was a good flight though and if this turns out to be my last Alaska Horizon Dash 8 flight before they retire the planes, then I'm overall very happy I got to fly it one more time. Hope you enjoy!

I absolutely love when you do videos of smaller more regional size airports! I would love to see you visit cities like Billings, Albuquerque, Eugene, Little Rock, etc.
I'll be honest I miss flying the Dash 8. My dad hates it but I have loved it my whole life; I really like seeing the wheels go up after takeoff and come down before landing.
On your Next flight from Pittsburgh do Alaska airlines to Seattle I did it in July and it was amazimg
Excellent video Chris!
Nice review...super funny. Like your lose approach...
The seat without a window..ugh!
I used to be based at SEA for Skywest, flown that SEA flight several times. Good views, super short though.
Maybe you can do a flight review on Alaska air from SFO to Paine field. I hear that's an interesting airport. 🤞
October 24th is my birthday! I’d love to fly on my birthday some day.
When is your next international flight video?
Soon!
You should do a vid about that fiasco with Southwest.
I heard people are playing the game "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" like the movie to get to their final destination due to the Southwest Airlines meltdown
do they still give you free wine and beer
Only in Premium and First
the Q-400 is bigger than the embraer jets they use
I like the DH8 from a distance, as long as I'm not flying in it. It's a beautiful aircraft to watch, but the noise is unbearable for me, even for a short flight. I'd rather drive myself from Pasco to Seattle than fly a DH8 and feel like I'm sitting next to a lawnmower.
Wait til Eastern Oregon becomes part of Idaho in 2030!!!
Huh?
@@79jask haven't you heard the eastern part of Oregon wants to succeed from their own state due to how different it is politically and culturally there and want to join Idaho as a result
Nice video bud. You’re an awesome UA-camr :)
I loved the Alaska Airlines Q 400!
I am saddened that Alaska has decided to retire these aircraft.
I have made lots of journeys on this aircraft between Boise and Seattle!
Aircraft comparison crj700 vs e175 vs q400 vs atr72 which one is good for travel.
I literally just flew on an Alaska (Horizon) plane with a 2/1 configuration… Might they be fazing them out???
“Aha!” sounds like a very spontaneous name.. which is fitting 😅
Unfortunately you are right, Alaska Airbus ad Q400’s are gone now
Ya think PSC airport is small try ALW and its pretty but real slim as for amenities.
The Airbus 321 neos on Alaska will be there for another 10 more years not retired
Flying into sea tac is the best day or night city views or crazy landscapes
Lots of Alaska planes have special college liveries Idaho, Boise State, Montana, Montana State, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Alaska Anchorage, and Alaska Fairbanks
really not a big fan of seattle airport. Always not enough seats at Alaska gates
Why didn't you show the landing gear
At least the airbus planes are going to other carriers and not being scrapped. I know allegiant is grabbing a bunch of them from alaska. I also wonder if they will keep alaska's mood lighting on their ex virgin/alaska planes.
rip Aha Airlines!!!
First
Rip AHA!
I heard they are retiring those q400 truboprops
Yeah, I’m definitely gonna miss them
Lol. Defunct
Nice video.
Beavers?🤮
Hello 👋my friend 🥰thanks for sharing
That Oregon State livery 🔥
Pirates are the best.
You sure about that lol
Alaska Airlines Bombadier Dash-8 Q400's Turboprops will see be phased out but not there E-Jets Family Jets The E175's which Alaska Airlines is placing Moore Orders for them in the Upcoming Years Awesome Video!!!!
IM 11 hours late to a jazz GUY UPLOAD 😢. IMMA CRY FR I…
😱
@@thejazzguy13 IK!!!
No where have I ever seen my home airport on UA-cam, and I have never been inside the airport, it would be cool to see it
Was hoping you were on my GEG-SEATAC Alaska flight from hell last week that had such bad crosswind turbulence that people were crying and screaming and trying not to throw up after the failed landing. The pilot had to do a go around and for a 2nd attempt, afterwards the flight attendance did her arrival speech while crying. But I’m glad you were on a nicer flight!
I flew the dash and the 175 for horizon. You will not find a better cabin crew in the US than those on the Q for Horizon. Sorry you missed out on the free wine and beer
You should fly out to Albany NY oldest municipal airport in US
Also I know someone driving all the way to Los Angeles from Omaha due to flights being cancelled
Unfortunately last time I flew both my mom and dad tested positive for COVID and I will test again tomorrow to see if I have COVID or not
When I last flew I was wearing a mask while most people were not and many people were also coughing like crazy which is why my parents got COVID
Honestly one of the best trip reports on YT from this guy: always honest, funny and well put together. Cheers man, from the island of Trinidad!
I hope you are not affected by the Southwest Airlines meltdown which glad I flew them the week before Christmas and a few days before Winter Storm Elliott
And just like clockwork, the Macaw Sharp boner comments have perched! 🤣
He was definitely a chatterbox today, lol.
Kinda sounded like a lawn mower there on takeoff lol
you have some of the best quality and editing for a smaller channel I've ever seen. I really enjoy the videos and hope this channel gets the growth it deserves
Due to how crowded the Seattle Airport is getting I am hearing things like building a new airport in that region
great video, never seen box water..
I enjoy your videos.
Go Bucs
The beginning😂😂😂
Go Beavs 🦫🦫
The amenities on this plane were definitely substandard!!! I want to know what the date was on that carton of water!!!!! I have seen port-o-potties bigger then that bathroom!! Flying the Dash 8 makes you appreciate the newer planes so much more!!! Happy New Year Chris!! Hope you are not flying Southwest this week!!!
