How Alaska Airlines Made a 100th Birthday Flight Extra Special

Alaska Airlines went the extra mile to celebrate Velma’s 100th birthday during her flight to visit family in Florida. Velma’s son-in-law, Michael, an elite frequent flier with the airline, had arranged the special trip for her. The crew of Flight 340 created a festive atmosphere, making a crown, sash, and decorations out of in-flight materials.

They served her favorite drink, Crown Royal Whiskey with water, and gifted her with Alaska logo goodies. Passengers joined in singing “Happy Birthday,” and Velma received a certificate of recognition.

The crew also assisted her with luggage and ensured a smooth connection to her next flight. Michael expressed his gratitude to Alaska Airlines for their caring employees, emphasizing why he continues to choose the airline. Velma cherishes the memorabilia from her milestone flight in her assisted living apartment and even signed up for the Mileage Plan.
