Great report so far! It looks like you had a good flight with Alaska all the way to FLL. I'm actually flying them back from SEA to MSP in early April, and it's been a while since I've flown them. That Banh Mi sandwich in their in flight menu looks yummy!
I'm interested to read that if you select an exit row seat you lose your upgrade priority. I wonder why this is?
Looking forward to the rest of your report!
Best,
Matthew
