Every single agent pushes back with "No no, you have to be traveling on an international flight" until I pull up Alaska's own T&Cs on my phone and show it to them. We're coming up on 4 years of Alaska's oneworld membership - really irritating that I am still having to explain this to frontline employees.
Which airports? No problems for me at LAX and SEA.
