United States (LAX) to United States (SJC), 01 Jan 2024

First Class

Snack , Special meal: no
Operated by SkyWest Airlines. With pandemic traffic mixed with the low passenger traffic on US domestic flights on Christmas Eve, the flight was totally empty with about 20 passengers and I was the only person in First Class. I was offered bottled water and sanitizing wipes after boarding. We pushed back and taxiied out as the ONLY aircraft moving on the Westside at LAX on a 3PM departure and were airborne about 5 minutes after we started pushback. Just minutes after takeoff, the FA came by with a large snack basket. As I was the only passenger she was tending to, I barely had my mask on as the whole first 25 minutes of the flight she was keeping the wine and jerky flowing. Only after we approached the south end of San Jose on a long final for runway 30L. Given the fact it was a SkyWest E175, during a pandemic, when no first class pax were expected by the carrier, outstanding service by the FA and quite an experience to board a plane at LAX (as the 1st to board) and then step off that plane at SJC about 1 hour and 15 minutes later!

Welcome aboard water bottle + canned wine
