Question for you all. I'm flying To Australia via SFO later this year, and would like access to a lounge with showers at SFO. Im MVP 75K, using points to SFO and then to BNE.
Also, how do I actually locate business class seats when using Alaska miles to get to Australia? It only ever seems to show me economy or premium economy options.

What carrier? Some have lounge access, some don't.
What class? This will determine the lounge you can access.
You can see the seat map of the carrier you are flying on that carrier's website. Your confirmation code is noted under the AS code in you account on Alaskaair.com. Some carriers allow you to pick seats in advance while others make you wait until check-in or require a separate fee to select the seat.

Welcome to Flyertalk pawsyd! Another option if you don't otherwise have access (and it's a bit spendy) is a day pass from either the Admirals Club or Sky Club but you'd probably have to change terminals and reclear security. Both have showers according to their websites.

Is this an Alaska Air event or a BofA Alaska Air event? BofA hosted a preview of the new X-Men Apocalypse in May in Anchorage. AS has done nothing up here in years that I have heard of.

The Gold lunches (and breakfasts) were discontinued a few years ago. There are some special events, such as the one noted above. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what these events are or when they will take place.

Is it just me or does the hold music for Reservations sound like an instrumental Handbags and Gladrags aka the theme music from The Office?

First was the pancake machine...now, I submit, a worthy contender for its evening counterpart:

Yum!

It’s the first “espresso-tiramisu” cake machine, invented by Italian gourmet-scientist Iuri Merlini, who thought it was about time a dessert was served as fast as a coffee espresso. With Meesoo, the yummy treat oozes out of a metal tube right into the cup at the counter of a bar (savor and go, like a shot) — cold, fresh and soft.

Glacier National Park
Next week, I will be flying ORD-SEA-FCA (near Glacier National Park).
I've never been to Glacier and would appreciate your thoughts. We have 2.5 days there. We will rent bear spray and love to hike.
Also haven't been on Horizon in a long time.

Flow control at PDX this morning. Given to the captain after we pushed back and started taxiing in EUG. Expected wait is about the same length as flight time.

In the hellhole that is SAN. Send Marines to liberate us plz.
(Seriously? Cannot understand the whining about no Bored Room here. This is WAY better than LAX T3rdWorld or, say LAS A/B gates. Decent restaurant and coffee, restrooms fine. I don't get it.)
