I have to fly PDX-Bay Area in January. Prices very cheap right now.

1. Several of the PDX-OAK flights appear to be on Bombardier CRJ; I assume this has no F cabin? I used to be able to find this aircraft info (including the number of F seats) on alaskaair.com, but can't on the redesigned website. Can someone point me to the link?

2. I am returning on a Monday and have lots of time. I'd like to fly Bay Area-SEA-PDX for the extra miles/EQMs. The option of direct on the Southbound and connecting via Seattle on the return appears with some of the itineraries, but not on the ones that get me to SFO/OAK in time. If I call AS can they create itineraries that don't come up on the website?

3. I have read the following link:

http://www.alaskaair.com/www2/help/faqs/MealService.asp

do the times referenced mean time in the air or scheduled flight time? What is the F meal service from SEA or PDX to OAK or SFO.

thank you
