Same-day confirmed changes within 6 hours are $25 on Alaska,
http://www.alaskaair.com/content/tra...t-changes.aspx. For MVP Gold members and anyone on their reservation, the fee is waived and there is no 6-hour limit (any flight on the same day can be chosen). Standby travel is free but only available for full-fare and elite passengers (and also for all passengers on SEA-GEG and SEA-PDX shuttle flights).
