Alaska Airlines FAQ and Thread Index (WORK IN PROGRESS) -- Wiki Needs YOUR Help!
See (and contribute to!) the wikipost above. 
ETA: It appears that the function for general members to edit the wiki is not yet enabled. I'll update with news when I hear some. See next post for exciting update!

Wikis can now be edited by any member with at least 90 posts and 90 days of membership on FlyerTalk. I am looking forward to all of you helping out our fellow members by working on the wiki in this thread to make it organized and useful!

Glad this functionality has been enabled for members. Rearranged/added a little. Changed all links to {{url=Option}value{/url}} format for easier interpretation.

Probably not a huge concern but just realized with this thread wikis are not visible with FT mobile.

Either way, just get a real phone and use the regular website.

Could we add content for the partner benefits also, specifically AA and DL. There's a general DL benefits thread, a DL upgrade thread(ha!). I think there's a general AA benefits thread also, plus some issues with seat selection.

Actually, what I am looking for as a new AS flyer is a comprehensive overview of all the possible upgrade routes. From my limited understanding there are basically four ways to get an upgrade:
1) buy a qualifying fare based on your status level for instant up if U>1
2) buy any fare and hope for a complimentary upgrade
3) buy any* fare and use an MVPG guest upgrade (*searching for flights i am seeing that "any fare" really doesn't mean ANY FARE and somehow these are fare restricted -- how does that work and what buckets are NOT eligible?)
4) upgrade with miles from any* fare (see any* fare clause above)
This would be an abundantly useful sticky or wikipost for those of us migrating to AS from other carriers!

Really you captured them all (MVPG Guest Upgrades are eligible on all paid coach fares except G and T; mileage upgrades require at least an H fare) except paid upgrades on day of departure.
