I am on my last VX flight (probably; I have a 2 day trip to Hawaii booked for next weekend from the flash sale but probably won’t take it.). Sort of sad, end of an era. I like Alaska too, though.

I got really lucky, though. 5k miles for LAS-LAX-SFO last flight of the day, got to the airport early, and the wonderful LAS check-in person was able to get me on the LAS-SFO nonstop leaving within 45 minutes. But coach is as full, so I got sort-of-op-up to First — only the second time I’ve gotten a free F seat on VX.
