I got notice on Thursday that my outbound on a SEA-MFR RT in less than two weeks had been cancelled due to "runway construction in Seattle."

A quick check of SEA-MFR schedules in October shows that Alaska appears to have, on average, reduced the number of nonstops between SEA and MFR from four per day to two per day. On very short notice.

Was the Alaska Airlines customer service rep very nice? Yes. Did she give us discount vouchers for upcoming flights? Yes.

But since this was a same-day trip to do a backstage tour and see an afternoon play at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, we're now out the tickets for both the play and the tour, and the incredible OSF experience. With the airline's current schedule, there's no way to make a same-day trip work.

Alaska has some serious work to do to fix its scheduling.
