Elite or Saver
I suppose we saw this coming, but am now feeling squeezed by Alaska. Despite my 75K, Alaska is making me pay more to feel elite as prices/fares that were previously R is now X. I Had previously booked Sea Jfk fares at $129 R class for several dates in Jan 2019. Now those prices are $159 for R, still $129 for saver X. If i had waited to booking my Jan travels, the same $129 would only earn me chocolates.
In booking upgradeable economy fares, the choices are now: Hell no/Maybe Classy/Not in your FC (fat chance) guest booking classes. For SEA JFK, Lowest Maybe Classy fare for the dates in Jan is $159, and lowest upgradable fat chance gold guest fare is $259. At those prices, id rather book two economy savers seats at $129 each. Oh wait, chances are, they are going to split my fat a**
Ugg.
