Question about double miles: What gets doubled? All RDMs earned? Or only those through base miles?

Eg: SFO-PAE is 710 miles. Say you are MVP gold and fly F. So you would normally earn 710 (base) + 533 (CoS) + 710 (MPVG) = 1953 RDM. Does this all get doubled (so you would earn 3906 RDM)?

I'm sure that this is similar to other promos but I've actually never managed to get in on a double miles promo before.

Odd there's no information on this at the PAE website.

Well, they have signed an agreement with Republic.

Hope it's reasonable... but not very optimistic.

Speculation is this involves DAL... although with other carriers running smaller aircraft a 737 might have been a bit large for these new routes.

What do you mean here? Is there speculation that there is a slot trade involved? Don't be talking about Alaska giving up DAL! They are doing pretty well there... at least my DAL-SEA flights are always full (and much less elite-heavy than DFW-SEA).

Looks like the inagrual flight to LAS is sold out - when I checked earlier it was like $320 and only 3 seats left. Guess I should've jumped on it even then... being part of a first flight from an airport doesn't come around too often.

So why does the press release show a 737 when it is all E75 for Alaska to/from PAE?!

Okay, maybe some flights will scale up to a 737 in the summer...

Here are the April 1 departures/arrival, sorted by PAE time.

My comments

FIVE aircraft will overnight at PAE, seems like a lot to me, but parking is scarce @ SEA (they overnight 737s @Bli too), so tug drivers will have an early start
Alaska's 1st E75 service into LAS. (Secretly hoping they'll move one PAE-LAS departure to BLI-LAS)
Still don't understand why there isn't a GEG flight (or 2 or 3)
90 minutes of downtime between the last departure of the day, and the 2nd to last arrival of the day
You can change planes at PAE. PDX-PAE-LAS/PHX/SAN are all listed in the schedules
Only 55 minutes scheduled PAE-PDX, same as SEA-PDX

there's actually a SEA-LAS turn with a QX E75 that starts before Inaugural Day ... the northbound flight departs at the same time as the return to PAE; I was thinking about booking back into SEA after the inaugural, since I can easily get home by Link Light Rail and bus, but I'd have to get back up to PAE to recover my car

Also, I noticed that Southwest will start San Diego to Omaha competing with Alaska. Seems like a light route to try and set up competition, especially with a 737! So maybe AS will yield that route to them as part of a trade.

I guess DCA-DAL just dropped off then as well. I had noticed some people staying on for SEA coming out of DCA and formerly LGA. Seems like the long way but I guess the price was right. Those flights did make DAL an AS mini-hub

. I guess they weren't routing strategic for them but certainly had value to WN! Just like anything out of PAE has value to AS.
