I\u2019ve previously flown on Alaska Airlines<\/a> from Mexico City to Los Angeles in First Class. I booked my one-way ticket using 10,000 British Airways Avios and added my Delta Gold Medallion number (Skyteam Elite Plus). Prior to 24 hours of check-in, I requested a complimentary upgrade to First Class and it cleared right away.<\/p>\n

My flight was super early for a 6:20am boarding time so I had to leave the hotel at 5am. There was no one in the MVP elite line which made it easy for me to get my boarding pass printed.<\/p>\n

The 737-800 First Class cabin is a 2-2 configuration which is a recliner seat.<\/p>\n

\"ASlaxmex2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why, but I just love sitting in the bulkhead aisle. There\u2019s just something about sitting in row 1.<\/p>\n

\"ASlaxmex3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was offered water as a pre-departure beverage.<\/p>\n

\"ASlaxmex4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shortly after takeoff, the flight attendant took drink orders and I had a cranberry vodka with lime.<\/p>\n

\"ASlaxmex5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Breakfast consisted of eggs and beans with a warm flour tortilla.<\/p>\n

\"ASlaxmex6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flight was only three hours which and I slept right after the meal service. I woke up to this amazing view of Terminal 4\/5 at LAX while taxiing to the Alaska terminal.<\/p>\n
