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
Also know that your scheduled flights are vitrually certain to change at least once or twice between now and January. Your 737 may change to a CRJ or vice versa. Also, your flight numbers may well be cancelled and replaced by new flight numbers at different times. If the new times don't work, you should be able to change to a better time for no fee. However, I doubt you'll be able to make a free change if they just decide to swap aircraft.
