Heading home
OMG, what a treat to not have to get up at 4am! With 1:50p and 2:25p flights, we left our cabin at just before 9am.
After check-in, we headed for the Alaska Board Room.
A nice selection of Alaska beers.
Great plane spotting with lots of 747 cargo planes stopping at ANC for refueling.
The good news is that this 5+ hour flight has enhanced service compared to shorter SEA-ANC inbound flight... for what it's worth.
Pleasant FA Chad although dinner service took a painfully slow two hours.
Menu sighting, although in an apparent cost saving move, only one menu was handed out per two seats. 
With no IFE, Alaska hands out digi-players, $10 in Economy, free in First.
Arugula salad with grilled pear salad was OK although Mrs. SFO777 was not impressed and only took a few bites.
Choice of chicken or cod. Cod? Really? I guess that halibut and salmon were too expensive for AS' catering budget. We both went with the chicken unaware that chicken was nearly entirely chicken thighs. There was so little breast meat that one breast was more than enough for for the entire cabin. Strange institutional taste to the chicken. The creamed spinach was mostly thin cream. And Mrs. SFO777 insisted that the tasteless mashed potatoes were powdered.
Dessert? Wow, AS went all out. A single bite cupcake and a single strawberry. The mini-cupcake was excellent but seriously?? One tiny bite is not dessert.
Then there was the annoying constant parade of Y pax to the F lavatory despite a useless announcement about "F lavs for F pax only". On time arrival was the best part of the flight as Mrs. SFO777 provided her usual unfiltered opinion... " What a piece of **** airline with crap food" and "I never want to fly this airline again. Ever." Yikes.
Two days after we got home, our 80 lbs shipment of halibut and salmon arrived!!
Mrs. SFO777 served the amazing halibut the first night.
And delicious salmon cakes the next.
Looks like we'll be having lots of halibut and salmon this year! Thanks for following along on this report.
