For those based in Alaska fares have not gone down...we don't have the same market conditions as the lower 48...and other then AS taking over a charter route flown by Hawaiian Airlines for Hawaiian Vacations- we've been fairly stagnent with flights to/from Alaska- and even losing some including ANC-SFO/YVR and winter ANC-ORD. Yes the lower 48 and Hawaii have seen massive expansion, but from my home market not as much. I haven't bought a F companion cert but have had family members purchase... But its more I'm concerned what will happen next
Agreed. Seattle Airlines, I mean Alaska Airlines seems to more or less pretend we don't exist. Sure, they introduced Club 49 (which basically is worthless), but other than that, we have been ignored. Fares are sky high as always, routes are being either demoted to seasonal or ended alltogether. We have gotten one new route in the last 3 to 4 years (ANC to KOA). They had to slash ANC to OGG frequency to get it though.
