How did you do this?" She obviously didn't have top sirloin for me in economy, and wondered why her screen indicated the first class meal choice I had reserved.

I was disappointed but I was prepared for the outcome. I didn't complain. Alaska overall treats me well and this aircraft swap is something I came to expect. Flight was good with very cheerful flight attendants. All good.

PS- In my life of flying, I can recall two past instances where my flight upgrade was rescinded. One was on Delta, flying BWI to MSP. It was due to inop F seat. Second was on Northwest Airlines due to DC10-40 to DC10-30 Swap. DC10-30 had less business class seats.
