This thread gave me confidence to cancel and quickly rebook a couple itineraries for holiday travel sea - east coast. I booked before a bigger price spike but even though the flight is very full, AS dropped the fare $300 per person!
I guess it's not in Alaska's interest to make it easy to collect the fare difference, but I always buy Main with it in mind. Pretty soon more people start using Google flights for this purpose?
Now if I can just get over that Alaska is 2x the price ANC-SEA in August compared to Delta....I'll use the credits.
