Cons: Alaska Airlines flight from SFO was supposed to leave at 3:15pm. We finally left around 6:00. Significant delay that made us late getting into Seattle.

Pros: Nice crew and reasonable seats. With only 20-30 on the flight there was plenary of room and to spare to lay down across the empty seats (a sad reality).
Cons: Given the circumstances not much. I hope we return to full planes and less difficult travel scenarios that enable it.
