We're looking at flying to Europe on ICE in late December and coming back in early January, and wondering if there's any chance of getting the entire trip credited either to 2018 or 2019 for the purposes of status.
No - you only receive the flight credit in the year that you fly. In your example you would receive elite
miles for both 2018 and then 2019.
You could always *try* and *hope for the best* but even if you succeeded .. Alaska is known for retroactively going back, correcting their mistakes, and reducing people’s status and revoking benefits. I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
