This is because Alaska's system isnt' a ONE and done deal - there's multiple systems looking at your number.
That’s a good suggestion, I’ll just leave it empty next time without a seat and once booked I’ll add it via the Alaska website. I would think that would ensure it’s all good. I have called before and asked to remove and re-add when it’s not letting me pick a premium seat, but this time it seemed ok but obviously not.
The waitlist was very strange. I was #6 and hubby #7 but then at T-24 he cleared and I became #5. I was completely confused. Then 4 more cleared in the right order, but not me. At the gate the agent did say she didn’t understand why my BP was incorrect and why I didn’t clear. I supppse it could’ve been fare related but we both paid the same price and booked on the same day.
