Man, <48 hours out, AS really lets Saver fares have any pick of their seat.

Three guesses on routing: SFO-PHL, SFO-BNA, SFO-RDU. |

That is an interesting map... 18A, but not B or C; 9C, but not A or B. And, I think @CDKing is on that flight in 30A (they must have blocked out B and C from the riff-raff)! :D

It sure is... although I got the 'full flight, check your carry-on for free' message when checking in, so maybe there were more saver fares than seats available when pax booked? Or just bad IT :p

Half empty, so I think that “check your carry-on for free” message is completely off base :P |

I've noticed this on my last two flights as well. 30-50% empty flight yet website offered a free checked bag at check-in.

There could also be operational considerations here. If there are less carry-on's there can be quicker boardings and deplaning. It could be a function of trying to put more slack in the network when there are challenges for maintaining on-time performance.

Just tried booking through Concur at work.. there's no warning about these fares, and there's no way to exclude them. Going to be awful trying to fly for work in 2019 with these fares.

Has anyone found a consistently successful way to exclude X fares on either alaskaair.com or on GF? I've tried searching via ITA, though it often seems to price higher than what the same fares show once I click through to the AS website. Trying to head to a wedding in ANC and have very little experience with X fares since I'm usually booking direct for conferences/work and don't have to worry (too much) about costs.

You can't exclude fare classes on GF. They don't even tell you the fare class of their results.
On ITA it's straightforward. I'm not sure about the higher prices you are seeing. It's usually accurate. On alaska you can't exclude them from the schedule view, but they show up in a different column. On the calendar view you can choose whether you want to see main or saver (or first) |
