Exclamation Christmas Boarding Music Has Begun

Seems it's a bit earlier in 2019...

Fun, but a bit early onboard AS95

Flights earlier today and on the 4th (and 1st) featured the regular playlist.

Some are odd remixes, there are classics as well.

2018:

I support any effort to ban Christmas music before Thanksgiving. Also that one Mariah Carey song that gets played all the time.

As long as there's no rendition of The Little Drummer Boy I can handle it.

YES. Good lord I hate that song with such a burning passion. The only thing I can think that's worse is It's a Small World.

sorry, it’s 60-something degrees at LAX at 2145, and I **cannot** relate to holiday music this early in November

Hit this SEA-SFO on Nov. 9th. Will endure it just once more on 13th - last flight of 2019.

If AS is listening, I'd say no Xmas music till Dec. 1. PLEASE!

Yesterday afternoon on LAX-SJC upon landing the crew turned the Christmas music way down so people can barely bear it. I agree it's a bit too early for Christmas music.

SEA-BOS, BOS-SEA over the last weekend and there was no boarding music at all. -800 there, and -900ER on the way back. Im not sure whether the old -800s can even do boarding music. I mostly fly on -900ERs and they usually do

don’t recall any music on N848VA at IAD this morning (it’s T+02 and the door is closed, but they’re still loading bags)

On as952 right now. No Christmas music (yay!), but we got The Brothers Cazimero (way better!).

AS140 and AS2883 ANC-PDX-PAE both had Xmas boarding music- quieter on the QX175 though.

I want some snow in ANC
