Alaska has a brilliant crew. And the seats are good. As much as i loved my trip from Heathrow to Seattle, i definitely did not feel the same on the return flight. A lot was due to feeling very cramped and unfortunately for me, i had a kicker behind me and a passenger who did not stop moving (but constantly) next to me. The good was not good and i noticed that most people around me left most of their meal. The ice cream was very nice. I did not have breakfast. However the food was very nice on the way to Seattle
