Reward searches on Alaska Airlines
Apparent bug:
co.com does not properly understand the airport code for some of Alaska's destinations when performing a reward search. For instance, if one enters "OTZ", you get the standard "not served by Continental or a parter codeshare" message. Yet if you type "Kotzebue", it works correctly.
There are a number of other destinations with the same problem, including Kodiak, Unalaska (Dutch Harbor), and Barrow. With Barrow, I can't get anything at all, because it refuses the airport code (BRW) and then asks for clarification if you use "Barrow", leading to a loop of "more than one airport matches your search" messages.
Basically, all of them that I saw are unusual Alaska destinations way up north; but I didn't sit there and enter all of Alaska's destinations. You're gonna have to send me a bunch of drink vouchers for me to do that.
