Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan - New Dash-8s

Has anyone else flown the new(er) NextGen Dash-8s yet?

I got to fly N447QX today and man what a difference. I swear there were next to no typical Dash 8 vibrations and it sure seemed quieter overall.

Window shade was handy and used to block sun from my laptop.

The ac is ~1 month old and defn still had that 'new aiplane' smell!

Next up, we need Gogo on there birds :-)

We were on N445QX this past Tuesday. The LED lighting is quite nice!

Was on one (I didn't get the tail number) on 5/31. I'm a dedicated window-seat flyer, so it's against my religion to close the window shade (as a recent :rolleyes: mainline FA found out last month :p), but I did do a ceremonial closing-and-opening of the shade while on the ground. ;)

The LEDs lining the ceiling above the overhead bins can blind tall people, as a certain other FTer on that flight found out... :p

(Oh, and agree about wifi! Though how much should SEA-PDX, with its ~20 minutes of above-10,000-feet time, go for? :D)

I was on the same flight [PDX-SEA] as Jackal and Beckoa and I do NOT even remember that flight... I literally sleepwalked because the last thing I remember was us being a little early for boarding and we had to sit in the shuttle gate area for a few minutes. Next thing I remember waking up in the SEA boardroom with my laptop on my lap trying to figure out where the heck my phone is two hours after we arrived in SEA...

Anyway, sorry for going OT, I just wished I had enough energy to remember that flight :(

I thought we were on the new Q400 on the way back home 5/31, but maybe it was with you on 5/30.

At least you woke up early enough that we did get to visit Lunchbox Laboratory! :cool:

Yep, thanks to Missy! The burger with Jalapeno sauce was the bomb! Their fries are good too :p

Do need to go back to SEA I guess :p

Oh and I think it was the return as well...but been on too many a/c in the past couple weeks (14 IIRC :p)

What ever happened to the other half of golfingboy's burger though :confused: :p
