Yes, but with a twist due to the F9 international routes.
Standard US* is 25K. Mexico and Costa Rica are 35K.
Choice US* is 45K. Mexico and Costa Rica are 55K.
Last Seat US* is 50K. Mexico and Costa Rica are 60K. (Open to Ascent & Summit Members only)
* = includes Alaska
I don't know all of the differences between Standard and Choice, but with a Standard award you still pay the baggage fees, unless it is an international trip. All Choice awards includes 2 free bags.
Personally, I have never seen Standard award availability when I have looked to cash in some miles.
