I spent 5 hours in Alaska Airlines’ first class. There were no lie-flat seats or other frills, but it was pretty great.

• Recently I spent about five hours in the first class of Alaska Airlines.
• The seats were not flat, but they were comfortable and my snacks and meals during the flight were delicious.
• My update was free since I have status in Alaska, but I think it would have been worth the price.

I often travel, which means that sometimes they happen to first class. Recently, I advanced on my non -scales flight from Alaska Airlines from Chicago to Portland.

As I have the MVP Gold status with the airline, I was able to obtain a courtesy rise to first class for my almost five -hour flight.

This was the flight.
