These are in no way new or unusual, but I enjoyed them both.

AS1139 SBA-SEA
May 3, 2023
4:40 p.m.
737-800
Lunch/Dinner

I tried the new (to me) Straightaway Oregon Old Fashioned; pretty good (and strong).



Spicy Chicken Sandwich. One of my favorites.



I guess this is the s'mores cookie. Not a big improvement over chocolate chip; it is very sweet.



AS642 SEA-DEN
May 3, 2023
8:20 p.m.
737 Max 9
Lunch/Dinner

Perfect-length layover (time to visit the nice new Centurion). I ordered a bourbon but did not drink it. No glassware on this flight for some reason.



Tillamook Cheeseburger. Messy and tasty!



S'mores cookie again.



I'm a little bit bummed as the SBA-SEA flight will now be leaving at 5:15 p.m., making a same-evening connection to DEN impossible. Only same-day SBA-DEN is now a double connection through PDX and SEA. Scratching my head.

I did DEN-PHX-SBA on AA (A321) the week before; I got a battlefield upgrade DEN-PHX that I enjoyed. Alcohol flows freely on AA. Then my PHX-SBA was cancelled due to high winds in SBA, leading to a 23-hour stay in PHX. I decamped to the Holiday Inn Express in Tempe and made the best of it. PHX-SBA was in Main Cabin Extra. I was impressed that they did a full beverage service on a 1:05 flight. The A319 is a dud for upgrades, though, with only eight seats.
