Redeeming FB miles on Alaska air
I'm not sure why it's been so difficult for me to the find the answers to what seems to be simple questions:
1. Can I use FB miles to fly Alaska Airlines in first class (the mileage calculator only generates the miles when I choose economy)?
2. Can I book one-way awards on Alaska?
3. FB website indicates awards can be booked online, but I never get a calendar. Must these flights be booked over the phone?
Thanks!

Most partners cannot be booked online...you will have to call.
One ways should now be possible on all partners.
Someone recently reported that Delta is no longer showing any First Class redemptions so it could very well be that Alaska is now the same.
Please, report back here with your experiences and any information gleaned after you call in.

^ glad to hear it worked out.
How many miles?
And remember, bookings into A class get to use the AS BR's (ANC, SEA, PDX and LAX)

I was able to book a one-way first class (2-class aircraft) with points.
