(Also I see the note on SPG below - I do actually belong to SPG although don't use them very often, thanks for that pointer)

Alaska FFP redeems Europe using AA metal mostly, and also follows AA's off-peak supersaver of 20K OW (Oct to May) on some busy gateways such as LHR, CDG, MAD etc. Plus it doesn't charge a $75 close-in.

I love love love Alaska.
