Coming Home

We flew with Benny on his first flight from Orange County to Portland on Alaska #367. The flight was perfect and Benny was a star. Alaska Airlines was great. Everyone from the ticket agents, flight crew, and even fellow passengers were really nice to us. Benny was nervous and we were too, but he never made a peep on the plane. Right before landing Benny let out one bark, and then a minute later at 5:55pm, we were smoothly on the ground in Portland.

Benny picked a great day to come into Oregon. The sun was setting and we flew in over the beautiful mountains. Beaverton was on the left and on the right was beautiful downtown Portland. It was 65 degrees and clear.

Finally, for what it is worth, Benny is a great tool to foil airline security. When I walked him through security, the screeners didn't really pay attention at all to our bags. Instead of national security, they were very interested in Benny.
