Alaska Airlines party

3-year-old throws Alaska Airlines-themed birthday party

Memorable moments with Alaska

Matteo has been flying with us since he was a baby—19 flights so far and counting! His 20th flight is just around the corner to Maui in October.

One of his family’s favorite travel memories happened earlier this year on a flight back from San Diego. The flight crew went above and beyond to make his travel dreams come true.

 “The pilots made the experience unforgettable by inviting Matteo to visit the flight deck. They took the time to explain different parts of the airplane, using his toy airplane as a teaching tool. It was a heartwarming interaction that made our trip special. I only wish I could remember their names to personally thank them for making Matteo’s day!”

  Matteo’s Mom

A love for aviation runs in the family

Matteo’s great grandfather was a Naval aviator who served during World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. Although Matteo never had the chance to meet him, it’s clear a love for aviation has naturally carried through the generations.

Matteo’s fascination with aviation blossomed early—at just one year old, in fact!

“An Alaska Airlines airplane was one of his first favorite toys, which he received on a trip to Charleston, South Carolina,” Kaitlyn said. “Matteo also enjoys watching YouTube videos of Alaska Airlines livery paintings and airplanes flying.”

May the skies always be bright, and may your love for aviation continue to soar.
