Hello
On July 5, 2019, I flew from San Jose, CA (SJC/KSJC) to Everett, WA (PAE/KPAE) onboard Alaska Horizon Airlines. I was on AS2741 operated by N620QX. This was my first time on board an Alaska E75L and my first time landing in Everett Airport. One of the main reasons why I decided to fly to Everett instead of Seattle was because just 4 months before, the airport began commercial service and one of its first destinations was San Jose. So I decided to give the new airport a try and not go to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA/KSEA) all the time.

Deplaning. We parked at Gate 2B, so there were no jet bridges.

Deplaned. First view of the passenger terminal at PAE. It looks absolutely beautiful and stunning! For me, it felt like a luxury airport.
