You guys think there will be any chance of another double miles/double EQM fare sale this fall ?
For the first time in 7 years I wont make gold unless there is one that makes sense like the springtime - when business was so bad I couldnt afford to travel had to stay in PDX and work here.
If so then when would they most likely announce it ? I'll hop on that PDX/BOS/PDX and get my 12k miles

I don't think Alaska is going to offer DEQMs again. Number 1, other carriers aren't offering them now and Alaska only offered them last May when the other carriers had already started offering. Number 2, I don't think Alaska wants to swell the ranks of MVPs and MVPG's as to not tick off those that are actually flying the number of miles required.

And for those who like/need to do a MR, AS gains more $ for normal EQM's vs. DEQM's... If someone wants status and they are getting it either way...

I was thinking about doing the PDX-ORD inaugural as part of my last trip to hit 75K BUT you cant book an immediate turn around because it says 45 min is too short of a connection time. It makes me wait for the ORD-SEA-PDX which is $228+ tax one way. I hope this is really an error and still do able

I'm not sure why i didn't remember that option. I have it on hold now. I'm just trying to figure out if i should put middle name or just middle initial for the secure flight data but thats another thread.
