Alaska Airlines Commemorative aircraft Spirit of Seattle plane Boeing 737-800. Introduced in 2008, the “Spirit of Seattle” celebrates Alaska Airlines’ longstanding business relationship with its hometown partner, The Boeing Co.

The special livery features Boeing’s sweeping blue stripes and Alaska’s beloved Eskimo.

In 2005, due to the greater efficiency of the Boeing 737 Next Generation and rising costs for maintenance, fuel, and crew training, Alaska Airlines decided to phase out its remaining 26 MD-80s and trained its pilots to fly the newer Boeing 737-800s that were being ordered to replace them.

According to the airline, the MD-80 burned 1,100 US gallons (4,200 l) of fuel per hour, while the 737-800 burns just 850 US gallons (3,200 l) per hour.

The last MD-80 flights flew on August 25, 2008, with one flight from San Jose to Seattle and another from Sacramento to Seattle.

To mark its transition to an all-Boeing fleet, Alaska Airlines unveiled a 737-800 called Spirit of Seattle with Boeing’s house colors painted on the fuselage and the airline’s Eskimo logo painted on the tail fin.

Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 700 Seating Plan

Boeing 737-700 operated by Alaska Airlines may transport 124 passengers in two classes.

First class consists of 3 rows of seats that have 2-2 configuration.

The seats of the first row have the following disadvantages: lack of floor storage during take-off and landing, close location of the galley and limited legroom.

Economy class may transport 112 passengers.

The seats of the economy class are divided from the first class with a curtain thanks to which the seats of the 6th row offer extra space for passengers’ legs.

As the tray tables are in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little.

Also passengers of these seats may store small bags under the seats of the first class located in front.

Missing windows is the main disadvantage of the seats 9A and 9F.

Because of the exit row located behind the seats of the 15th row are less reclining.

As the seats 16BC and 16DE are located between two exit rows, these seats have extra legroom and are not reclining.

Behind exit row the last section of economy class seats is located.

The best seats on the airplane are considered the seats of the 17th row.

Passengers of these seats will take advantage of extra legroom provided by exit row located in front and missing windows seats.

Passengers tend to congregate in the area of the seats 27C and 27D causing discomfort to passengers of these seats and of the seats of the last 28th row.

In addition the seats of the 28th row are not reclining.
