If no point of sale terminals because Alaska removed all of them for inspection do we get free dinner?
. Or cash only?
To their credit Alaska kept a continuous supply to the gate of sandwiches and pizza throughout the afternoon
Sounds like a pretty bad situation was handled about as well as it could have been, considering the proactive voucher, the food, the attempts to keep pax informed, even some crew offering up their F seats. And this despite even more issues like the computer outage complicating things. Once again AS proves why it is head and shoulders above the rest. And good on you, OP, for seemingly being patient whilst it all get sorted. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you got free food and drinks on board, especially if you ask nicely. Hope you get home soon!
