The other wierd thing is that Alaska has done away with any sort of curbside baggage service at LAX. You have to go inside and either use the kiosk or wait in line.

And, yes...I've decided that Alaska DID make some catering cutbacks in May. They did also bring Wall St. Journals to the First Class flights, but I don't consider that compensation for a bowl of cereal in First Class.

On the good side, Alaska's operation seems to be back in fine form. There wasn't a single delay on the monitors when I was in San Jose, Los Angeles and even Seattle during the past two weeks.

Naturally, just when one problem gets fixed another surfaces (Horizon Air delays).
