United and American have both announced no more change fees (other than on Basic Economy tickets) for all domestic-ish flights (American covers Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean too).
Alaska's got a waiver in place until Sept 8th but this is gonna put pressure on Alaska to announce something more substantive. Alaska's in a bit of a tricky situation since no change fees is the signature benefit of MVP Gold.
So... what's Alaska gonna do, and what will the offer to MVP Gold to reduce the sting?
Edit: Announced this morning.
The new change-fee policy applies to all tickets, except for Saver fares. Previously, Alaska's change fee of $125 applied to all non-Saver travel, except for guests traveling on refundable tickets and Mileage Plan top elite status members.
