Alaska Airlines 6937 flight review: My wife and I had to make a connection at the Los Angeles International Airport yesterday. We came in on American Airlines, and were scheduled to depart out on Alaska Airlines. The ticket was booked through the American Airlines website, with the second leg operated by their partner Alaska Airlines. We had to take a shuttle bus to get to the connecting terminal in Los Angeles, only to find out that we were actually sent to an American Airlines flight to Vancouver. We had to get back on the shuttle bus to be routed over to the correct location at Terminal 6. The flight boarded and departed as scheduled at 8:00 pm local time. Once again we had an aisle and middle seat booked, but asked if the window was still available in our row. The gate agent stated that that seat was taken, but offered us the aisle and window seat in the emergency exit row. This was a great upgrade for me, as it provided an abundance of extra legroom at no additional fee! The flight was very quick, as we arrived into Vancouver about a half hour early. The service and crew was pretty good.

Final thoughts: This was our first flight on Alaska Airlines. I had flown on Horizon Airlines before on a round trip from Portland, Oregon to Boise, Idaho. That flight was operated by a Fokker F-70 aircraft that was not in the best of shape at the time. Horizon is the wholly owned regional carrier for Alaska. We would definitely fly Alaska Airlines again, provided that the fare and schedule times are preferable.
