New Year Trip 2007/2008 : Ted Stevens Anchorage International, Anchorage, AK (ANC) to Seattle-Tacoma International Seattle, WA (SEA)

CO223 1JAN08 Ted Stevens Anchorage International, Anchorage, AK (ANC) to Seattle-Tacoma International, Seattle WA (SEA) 1:00a 5:20a 753 N75858

Flying time: 3:10

We boarded through the first forward door so I got to walk through the First class cabin. It looked like all the seats were taken; lots of upgrades I think at the last minute might have occurred. There were quite a few guys in military uniforms. I continued on to the Economy cabin and took my aisle seat with the middle seat empty.

The doors soon closed and we pushed back. The safety demonstration came on and was over, then we took to the runway and was airborne in no time.

The movie tonight is “No Reservations” with Kathryn Zeta Jones; I had already seen it, well most of it and it is O.K. for an airplane. Headsets were offered for $1. We were served two packs of honey roasted peanuts and some beverages; alcoholic drinks are $5. I ate the peanuts carefully while I worked on the computer, updating the blog for upload later when I arrived in Seattle.

Eventually, I fell asleep as the battery actually died on this computer. At that time, I started using the other computer that I had with me and catching up with some work e-mail, etc. I was awoken by the flight attendant’s announcement to prepare the cabin for landing. I pulled my seat forward and went back to sleep.

We had a smooth landing and then taxied to the gate. I had the option of staying on board or getting off the plane, so I got off the plane as I was a bit on the hungry side as 7 hours of just peanuts would not cut it.
