Check your upcoming flights for schedule changes
AS must have just updated changes for Q1 today or yesterday. I had to call today for a few itineraries. Check your tickets especially if you are booked on AS119 in the spring. It no longer exists and its comparable is 101. Had to call for a few 5 or 10 minute irrelavant differences. Thats ridiculous
and a new schedule page is out https://m.alaskaair.com/schedule and I so far am not a fan of it

Quarterly schedule changes today
AS today updated its schedule for its quarterly flight schedule adjustments.
I had several flights affected from Q3 (June) onward, but in my case, mostly minor (SEA-SAT, SEA-EWR). Worth checking your reservations.

Hmm, I just went to check seats on my trip in July and both reservations are showing "call us", and won't even let me see the details. SEA-PHL and then DCA-SEA return.
Edit: Both are now departing a whopping 10 minutes earlier.

thats the kind of stuff thats really stupid! The fact that they make you call for such frivolous changes is beyond the pail! 
You should be able to confirm changes that are less than 30 minutes by yourself online. Evidentally in the past they have had 100s of people miss flights because of 5 minute changes and now do everything in CYA mode No flights changed this go round. But when I started this thread I had a MSP-SEA segment change by 5 minutes and I had to call to get the whole fricken reservation unlocked

I had the same experience on a changed flight on which I'd already received an upgrade. The hassle is calling in to find out what's changed, not the re-issue.

Hmmm....well our STS trip was only 20 minutes early so I was able to approve that one online. My PSP trip though has a 90 minute change and the outbound segment is not on the schedule anymore. Looks like I'll be needing to call that one in and clear it with an actual person.

My flight from SEA to KOA in June was moved up 90 minutes, and the return was cancelled, with a new flight number an hour earlier. They are showing on my account though, with the same seats assigned. Works out great for me. Get to Hawaii early, and get home early. Win Win.

I thought that was fixed not too long ago. I just confirmed my schedule change for the summer on SEA-ANC-ADK online. I also confirmed 2 other changes. All mine are schedule padding changes where departure is the same but arrival is earlier. One of my minor changes appears to have kick me out of my seat assignments which was odd unless I forgot to select

A new flight number, that I can understand (one of my changes). One was a <10 min arrival time change (departure did not change). One was a 5 min departure time change and a 10 min arrival time change (both earlier).
But clicking though, in my case, 23 records to see what is no longer valid is maddening, especially when you don't know a) exactly when it will happen and b) what the change is until you phone.
