Maybe Alaska thinks their 20 minute bag guarantee is sufficient across the board? Thoughts?
just curious how often your bags get to the carousel within 20 minutes on a United flight? Even with the VIP tag. Maybe they do, I'm legit curious. My experience is that bags usually take a while on most other airlines.
