Guaranteed Airfare after first flight
I flew the outbound on a ticket (booked as a R/T due to companion fare). I know before I did that, I could do the guaranteed airfare; but it doesn't let you after you take the outbound.
The price on the return flight went down a lot; is there a way to get that credit? (split ticket up, something)?
Not a huge deal, but would be nice....

I echo the suggestion above to call res. They should be able to refare and manually price the return leg. It may be difficult and they'll put you on hold for a bit, but it should be possible with a human.

If you are not a high elite, buying one way tikcets subjects you to the possibility of paying two separate change fees if your plans change. On Southwest, it makes PERFECT sense. On Alaska, not so much for us "normal" flyers.
