2014 Alaska Airlines Cyber Monday Sale (live NOW)
I keep seeing the Cyber Monday sale being mentioned over and over in multiple threads....definitely building excitement....I'll have to admit, I'm pretty excited myself! It looks like Alaska is ready....they've already got the Cyber Monday sale page ready to go!
http://www.alaskaair.com/content/dea...nday-sale.aspx
So, how many of you are holding off ticket purchases until Cyber Monday?? How much do you think you'll spend and which city pairs are you crossing your fingers that they'll be part of the sale??
For me....I'm hoping for, in no particular order of preference....
1. PDX-LAS
2. PDX-SAT (via SEA)
3. PDX-LIH
4. PDX-KOA
5. PDX-FAT (not very "exciting", but my wife has family in the area)
*I'm also crossing my fingers that the sale fares are good on more than just Tues/Wed/Sat like they were last year.

i think there will be some attractive offers from SEA to slap DL in the face a bit.
for me personally, i'm hoping to see the return of $200 ex-SAN transcons to BOS and MCO. LAX-DCA thrown in would be nice too.
wide availability of CA->HI for under $350 would always be welcome, as would cheapie ($49) fares on SFO-PSP, SMF-SEA/PDX, and SEA/PDX-RDM.
Depends what routes are offered and the duration of available fares into the 2015 calendar, but I could easily see myself booking enough miles to get up to MVP status if the fares are good out into mid-Q2. Right now my Jan/Feb are sort of full, so I am hoping to be able to score some tickets in March-May timeframe.

I'm with PV_Premier. I'm hoping for some BOS-SAN deals, preferably past 1Q. I already jumped on the last sale for BOS-SAN over MLK weekend and BOS-PDX over President's Day. That's halfway to MVP, and I'll book the next 10k if there are $200 BOS-SAN RT dates March-June.

Never have seen too much exciting fare-wise from this. Would like to have my mind change though

$59 fares from PDX-LAS last year was pretty exciting....I pretty much write off anything in AK due to low cpm regardless of the "sale" and MCO due to it almost never being part of any AS sale...ever.

Very excited! I hope it was like a two years ago when travel dates started on Dec. 6th. Please let MSP or PHX be involved! I'm visiting my brother in Sacramento area Dec. 11-24th and need to make another trip of 2,743 miles or more to get MVP for first time ever.

I would love to see MCO included in this sale but given the fact that fares tend to remain high regardless of day or season (especially ex-SEA) and MCO almost never shows up on ANY Alaska sale, I'm not holding out any hope...the best we can hope for is TPA. If the MCO flights are selling so well, I don't understand why they don't add another (maybe mid-day) departure to this route.

I was wondering that too....last year the sale lasted an entire week so there isn't the pressure to buy all on one day, but I wondered if it would be worth staying up Sunday night until 12:01am on Monday just to see what the cities and details were....
