It's been a long time since I was able to get the 757 on the SeattleLos Angeles route. It was always 737800s and 900s for the last few years.

Obviously, because of COVID the passenger load was light. I don't think economy was even half full. First class had at least one person in each row. This was the fastest takeoff I've had in a 757! We were off the ground in 20 seconds!

It was a nice flight back home. Low clouds over Seattle but that's expected during the winter. Thankfully all the snow had melted in the week I was gone.

After landing you can see Alaska's 737 Max parked by their maintenance hangar. You'll also see a lot of the international carriers parked at the S Gates. We had to hold short of our gate twice because we were early. The 737800 you see as we taxi by was the aircraft I flew down to LA.
