Hello everyone, almost 9 months after I bolted for Alaska, the results are mixed. AS doesnt load you up with free drinks like CO did, but AS does appreciate you. For the most part they appreciate everyone, no matter what you paid or who you are.

The mile acceleration is the same, and miles of any type count towards elite qualification. my mega-segment runs at the cheapest possible price have been matched with a 5-pct bonus and I am moving up in the points total.

no goofy slEASYACCESS props, just a nice friendly agent and a short line, and most people who fly AS know how to use a kiosk without having to havesomeone hold their hand.

CO has sent me many offers about double miles this and that, but I am happy at AS. My feet arent kissed aymore, but I get to work towards my future travel goals and be appreciated once in awhile.

also some CLE news......the CLE-LGW ends next week, and there is talk of extending the new runway to 11k, for those imaginary flights to asia Mayor Jane thinks are coming our way....
