Alaska Is Our Favorite Airline
A big adjustment for us when we moved to Kansas City– after living in San Francisco and Seattle for 12 years – was not having Alaska Airlines and its legendary customer service.
Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska Airlines is Mr. Jones hometown favorite. It’s also a west coast favorite airline – with frequent flights up and down the coast from Seattle to Mexico.
Alaska Airlines Delivers Better Customer Service than Other Domestic Airlines
What makes Alaska Airlines so special? Well, you really have to experience it. The company’s excellent service is not any one thing – it’s a spirit and helpfulness of every employee who seem to be on “your side” to make your flight experience the best possible.
