Alaska Airlines

I recently flew Alaska Airlines’ new 787 Suite Class on a trip to London and was genuinely excited to try the product. Unfortunately, the seat turned out to be the most uncomfortable lie-flat seat I’ve ever experienced. For reference, I’m 5'8" / 135 lbs, so I wouldn’t consider...

I flew SEA–ICN in Alaska Airlines economy and expected a worse experience based on prior trip reports, but it turned out to be generally satisfactory. The onboard food was surprisingly good and in some cases better than what I have had on JAL and Cathay flights out of SFO. My...

I am hoping for some guidance on what to pick for my 55K milestone reward. I currently hold Titanium status with Alaska Airlines and my home airport is Seattle. Last year I chose 5,000 bonus miles and a $10,000 discount on an unlocked experience, but I have not used the discount...

I was checking Alaska’s inaugural AS100 flight from Seattle to London Heathrow on 5/21 and it looks like the flight is almost completely sold out already. Really exciting times for Alaska as they continue expanding internationally. I am curious if anyone here is actually booked...

Sharing an early look at the SEA C Concourse. It also highlights some local food options from Renton.

The new Concourse C extension at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport has officially opened. Unfortunately, I had a flight booked for today months in advance, so I missed seeing it on a less busy day. It appears that part of the upper level, and possibly other sections, are...

I have an upcoming long-haul Alaska Airlines flight to London Heathrow and would appreciate some firsthand seat recommendations, since the seat maps online are not giving me enough detail. I currently have Platinum status and am assigned to 33H in Premium Class. Normally, I...

I’m looking at Alaska Airlines’ scheduled flights this week to United hub cities (excluding LAX and SFO, since those are effectively AS hubs and most AS routes connect through them). The routes shown include flights to hubs like ORD, DEN, IAH, EWR, and IAD. What stands out to me...

RDM to SFO. Non smoking flight.

This is more of a rant, but I am really disappointed with the quality of the flight widget I am using. It looks well designed, but it consistently shows incorrect information. In my case, the arrival city, departure time, and arrival time were all wrong, and the gate information...

I recently noticed a potential change in seating classification on Alaska Airlines. It appears that starting in June, exit row seats may no longer be treated as standard “preferred” seats and are instead being reclassified as part of a premium seating category. However, I have...

I was changing my Alaska Airlines flight by one day and noticed something odd during the process. The booking summary showed a “Total due” amount of $230 and, at the same time, a “Refund” amount of $230. Since the amounts are exactly the same, the final cost difference is...

I was reviewing data from the T-100 tool and noticed something unusual on the Seattle (SEA) to Philadelphia (PHL) route. Historically, Alaska Airlines tends to slightly outperform American Airlines in load factors on this route, usually by a small margin of about 1 to 3 percent....

I meant to post this earlier, but I recently flew from Rome (FCO) to Seattle (SEA) and wanted to share a detailed trip report. We had originally flown into Rome via British Airways before taking this return segment. I booked economy tickets for two people using miles and a...

It appears that Wi-Fi is currently not available on Alaska Airlines flights operating from Seattle to London (AS100). I am not sure how long this situation will continue, but I wanted to flag it for anyone with upcoming travel on this route. Passengers planning to fly this route...

There are early looks at the upcoming Alaska Airlines global lounge in the C Concourse extension at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. The space appears significantly upgraded and suggests a move toward a more premium international product. I’m curious how this will function...
