That just might have been the best inbound taxi I've ever seen....sort of a moving observation deck....and a perfect time of day to see all of lights on the airport and the aircraft. This is one of my favorites. Well done.
Great fly! Have you heard Hawaiian, American, Southwest, and Alaska were temporary added their route in Maui to let people evacuate and the death toll was the highest at 96 so far with more to be expected since Camp Fire (2018) in California which killed 85 people?
WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! GREAT views taking off!! Goode views of the BC coastline. Looks like that might have been the Bella Coola area. Very good view of Penn Cove coming into SEA. They're famous for their mussels and Coupeville is the driest place on Whidbey Island. Good views of the Olympics. Good view of Keystone. One of these days, you should hike along the beach from Keystone up to Partridge Point, about 6 miles of wilderness beach. From there, you can walk 2 miles over to Highway 20 and catch the Island Transit bus back down to Keystone. Island Transit is free because they believe that charging busfare would be contrary to their mission of providing public bus service in a rural area. Good view of Freeland. That's where they build ships in this area. Good view of the Hood Canal Bridge, Marrowstone and Indian Islands. Good view of Mukilteo, Paine Field and Highway 99. Good view of Alderwood Mall and all of the shopping centers surrounding it. Good view of Canyon Park. That's our equivalent of Silicon Valley. Good view of Totem Lake. Good view of Juanita Bay and OO Denny Park (good swimming place). OO Denny also has the tallest tree in King County, at over 250 feet, but after a recent big storm, part of it got taken off. Good view of Bellevue and Medina. Yes, that's Bill Gates' house you saw there. Also Jeff Bezos'. They're practically neighbors, Good view of Mercer Island and Seward Park. Just over a week ago, they had the hydroplane boat races on the lake here. Anyhow, I always feel a little jet lagged coming back down here from AK. Time for me to rest up and watch General Hospital. After that, I'm going to go swim in the Sound to cool off on our hot August week. This will REALLY dry up my front lawn! I swear, it's going to spontaneously combust any second now.
@@sla31 Well, you can tell me what's what for Tulsa or the Dallas area. That's Terra Incognito for me. Anyhow, a very boring episode of The Bold And The Beautiful Today, probably a consequence of the writer's strike. Back in 2020, the daytime soaps literally ran out of episodes to air because of the pandemic. Well, anyhow, it's 85 in Seattle, almost 100 in Portland right now, time for me to go swimming.
@@sla31 II did a 35-minute swim in the Sound this afternoon, the perfect place to be on a hot August afternoon. It's 82 here now, but down in PDX, it got up to 108, and unlike up here, there's NO place to go swimming to cool off.
Sadly, no. I fly a lot, and if I gave all of my business to a single airline, I would easily hit that level of status. However, because i fly so many different airlines, so things don’t get boring on the channel, I end up with a low level status on pretty much everyone haha. I have gold on United, and MVP gold on Alaska. Which gives me Star Alliance gold, and Oneworld sapphire. I also have a-list on Southwest, and Pualani gold on Hawaiian. I also have silver on Delta and 50K on Frontier. But I am losing both of those at the end of this year. I have not flown either of them enough to keep any sort of status. I also have Platinum on American, but I used this whole year to basically change my loyalties from American to Alaska. Because I get the same benefits on each airline because of Oneworld. And Alaska is a way better airline than American nowadays.
I have also done this one as well. BOS-HNL, last October. I know realize after this that you were probably intending for this to be a reply to the other question, which I hadn't seen yet haha. That's actually not the longest I've taken. At least not time wise. Because of the winds being so much stronger on the day I took it, my MCOHNL is my longest flight time wise. I think BOS-HNL is my longest flight distance wise.
Distance wise it's BOS-HNL at 5,095 miles. But time wise, because the winds were so much stronger on the day I took it, my MCO-HNL is my longest flight time wise.
Hey Traveler, Have you seen this video ?? (ua-cam.com/video/KRB2I0HxIAg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=shepherdguy) One of Canada's finest !! I love when a pilot needs to make a circular turn, and he sticks the "center point" wingtip in a "point in space" and pirouettes around that point perfectly. I've seen this ability on other flights you've been on. Along with your flight we offer you this tour of the SeaTac airport complex with this Very Long inbound taxi !! Thank you for flying with Alaska Airlines tonight.
I have seen that FA video. It's nice when you can tell a FA really loves their job. And yeah, there aren't many other inbound taxis that have given the amount of views as this one.
LOL. I've been waiting for the past hour for this. Now my Monday is complete. Thanks as usual for the work you put in.
My pleasure my friend. As always, thanks for watching!

Thanks my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful Wow !!!
Perfection ❤
Thanks my friend!
@@sla31 no problem at all
Nice trip report! i really love the takeoff. the view look perfect!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yup, saw all of that and it's great to see them helping!
Another awesome video landing at seatac Airport in Seattle.. keep them coming .. departing or landing from seatac Airport... 😊👌✈️
Seattle is currently my most visited airport of 2023, which is crazy considering it's not my home airport haha. Today's upload was another SEA video.
10:05 Loved the mountain scenery 🏔️!!
Amazing takeoff and landing! Also, the views are amazing.

@@scottbridge9391 the difference is that there is a lot more to see around Seattle and throughout the PNW haha.

Do a video where you do a full flight to Tokyo to Singapore
Well, I kind of already do that. It was just Singapore to Tokyo.
Sweet flight, love the terminal. Do you fly any one airline enough to have executive platinum or it's equivalent yet?
Sadly, no. I fly a lot, and if I gave all of my business to a single airline, I would easily hit that level of status. However, because i fly so many different airlines, so things don’t get boring on the channel, I end up with a low level status on pretty much everyone haha.

11 hour flight on Hawaiian airlines i think

Distance wise it's BOS-HNL at 5,095 miles. But time wise, because the winds were so much stronger on the day I took it, my MCO-HNL is my longest flight time wise.
