Snagged exit row 9 at T-24 check-in; the FA on MCO/SFO (VX) gave me an extra tequila for my margarita / sprite cocktail. AND all movies are now free on Virgin. Things are starting to look up. Thank you Alaska.

Nice.

Wish AS would adopt some baggage policies similar to this... or give G75K's a 3rd bag. Heck, before the most recent baggage shuffle, the 3rd bag was $20 for AS elites. Now on AS metal it's $75.
