Why so many flight time changes on LAX- SEA route in Jan?
I was booked on a flight scheduled to depart LAX at 9 and arrive in SEA at 1140. This is in Jan . I then have a connecting flight on Icelandair to KEF at 1430. I figured I would have no problem with the connection. Then Alaska changed the departure to 945 with an arrival of 1245 making me very anxious about that connection. My feeling that less than 2 hours for an international flight is cutting it to close. When I called Alaska to change to an earlier flight...730(ouch) they wanted me to pay both the fare difference and a change fee. I complained enough that she waived the change fee. Does anyone have any information why all these flights are being changed and about having to pay the change fee because of their changes? Now that I have 4 hours what lounges are available to me. I have a Priority pass available to me.
