I think they should just close this thread if all the discussion is in another thread

Just want to confirm.

a saver fare will still count as an alaska operated and marketed fare? (Ie. Still counts toward your 24 min segments for 100k).

i need a quick segment. Don’t need the EQM. And it’s a short hop.

Yes.

With the new saver fare, I saw that short hops don't earn the minimum 500 miles anymore. I just wanted to see how that looks like in real life?

I am planning on flying SFO-LAX and am wondering if people see 500*1/3 or if they actually see the flight distance * 1/3.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

Are Savor fare customer able to freely swap their seats to any available seats after check-in like Delta Basic Economy?

No unfortunately AS locks the seatmap throughout if on a Saver Fare.

All you can do is pay/“upgrade” for/to a PE or Exit row seat.

Thanks for the info! Perhaps worth trying to talk to the gate agent to switch up if space allowed?

You can certainly try. From personal experience I've been given a no more often than a yes.
