SLC-ANC on 763/757 in FC
We are heading to Alaska in July, and am wondering how the planes are fitted out in FC. We'll be in the air a lot those days (PHL to SLC to ANC) so I splurged for FC seats for all 4 of us. Heading up to ANC on a 763 out of SLC, and back from ANC to SLC in a 757. What's the first class product like on those routes? Seats? Movie screens or IFE? Meals? It's a lunch flight SLC to ANC on the 763, and a breakfast flight ANC to SLC on the 757. Any information would be appreciated (so we know how much of our own entertainment and food to bring along).
PHL to SLC and return is just 738's, so I am not expecting much there.
Thanks.

I just flew SLC-ANC last weekend. The 763 is a standard 2-2-2 in FC (4 rows I think). It's typical FC service/meal (1 choice chicken bow tie pasta)/movie of the month (Coach Carter on movie screens--this will be different movie in July). I can say that it is very comfortable as opposed to coach. The 757 coming back is 2-2 config (7 rows I think). Movie screens, no meal for my flight (12:55a).
I think the food service is adequate, as they have the snack service too, but dont know if you are bringing kids or not. I would advocate entertainment for the kids...it's a long flight.
Hope this helps.

The 763 and the 757 to/from ANC are exactly the same planes as you would see on any domestic route. 24 seats in each. Four rows in the 763 and 6 rows in the 757. Movie screens on the 763 and small aisle TVs on the 757. I don't think it's any farther from ANC-SLC than say SEA-ATL.

I am going to ANC with DL and returning AS, as this is what was offered by DL for an award ticket.
