2010 "Big Announcement": changed fees and routes (baggage/standby/holds/24h refunds)
Just saw this from Alaska on Twitter:
"Big Horizon Air & Alaska Airlines Announcement coming tomorrow. Be sure to check www.alaskaair.com tomorrow morning to see what it is!"
Any ideas?

Hmm, interesting. I wonder if it is at all related to this: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo....main/4787075/
To be sure, it makes for some good speculation!

Hey, don't get me wrong, Emirates would be incredible. I'd book a flight on Emirates tomorrow if I knew I'd get AS miles. But the buzz at the recent MVPG free meal fests has been that Iceland Air is "imminent". Emirates popped up once on the radar a while back and doesn't seem to have resurfaced.
China Air would also be great for us Alaskans. Anchorage to Asia without the pesky lower 48 stop.

PDX-KOA?
I read on another site that PDX-KOA was showing up as bookable. Went to alaskaair.com and sure enough I found PDX-KOA ns on 11/15. Not sure when it starts.
AS885 PDX-KOA Dep: 5:10PM Arr: 9:00PM
AS884 KOA-PDX Dep: 10:00AM Arr: 535PM
Looks like its MWFSat
