Hello!
On February 15, 2020, I took a flight from Seattle, WA to San Jose, CA to visit my old hometown and friends. I flew from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA/KSEA) to Norman Y Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC/KSJC) onboard Southwest Airlines. I was on WN3999/SWA3999 operated by N8695D, a Southwest B738. During this flight, I caught a lot of beautiful views of Northern California and the Bay Area. We also got to see a soldier returning home for the final time to his final resting place.

The B738 safety card. Southwest replaced the safety card because of confusion with the MAX family, which is still grounded as of this report.

After takeoff, we got to a cruise altitude of 35,000 feet (FL350). There are always clouds in the Pacific Northwest during winter, so this was a view when we got up above the clouds.

Conclusion

Overall, this flight was really enjoyable and memorable. We flew with a soldier who was heading to his final resting spot in San Jose. I also got to fly out of Seattle for the first time since August. Seeing the new improvements since I was last at the airport really fascinated me. San Jose was beautiful as always. Both airports were really efficient even though there were huge crowds at both of the airports. When flying over Washington and Oregon, we saw nothing but clouds below us as we flew south, but when we reached California, the clouds magically disappeared. The only problem I had with the flight was the WiFi. There were multiple times when the WiFI would crash, causing me to have to manually reconnect and making that experience really inconvenient. Other than that, Southwest impressed me like they always do. Seeing the soldier coming to his final resting spot broke my heart as he lost his life fighting for our country. I thank him and all the active-duty members for their service to the United States. This flight was for sure a very memorable one for me.
