Last month, Alaska Airlines debuted its new retrofitted cabins, the result of two years of consumer research, combining the best features from both Alaska Airlines and Virgin America.

New cabins feature a refreshed color palette, incorporating neutral tones and Alaska’s signature blue hue; ambient mood lighting that changes throughout flight; advanced high-speed WiFi by Gogo, with streaming capabilities; redesigned first-class seats with memory foam, footrests and a 40-inch pitch; ergonomic tablet holders at each seat; new premium and main cabin seats with memory foam; convenient, tilted power outlets at each seat; and cup holders at first- and premium-class seats.

“Just two years after acquiring Virgin America, we’re thrilled to introduce a modern cabin that aligns the onboard experience across our fleet,” said Ben Minicucci, president and COO, Alaska Airlines. “After extensive feedback from our guests and in collaboration with our partners, we’ve infused the Alaska Airlines cabin with key brand elements from Virgin America — the result is a premium experience at an affordable price.”

Alaska’s fleet of Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft receives the retrofitted cabins throughout the year. By 2020, the airline plans to retrofit 35 percent of its mainline fleet. New Boeing Max 9 aircraft feature the new cabin interior as well.

“Our guests are at the center of everything we do,” commented Andrew Harrison, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Alaska Airlines. “From relaxing in our lounges to being in the air, we know travelers want more control and comfort, while also enjoying the same low fares and great service. So that’s exactly what we did — we created a relaxing travel experience, so that our guests can focus on where they’re going and leave the rest to us.”
