My spouse's PDX-EWR credited right after arrival (<30 min) today.

My last half of a dozen flights have all posted while in the plane awesome! Typically within an hour of takeoff well done!

I'm still seeing 3 days. What's the pattern? I've been flying mostly tickets booked thru AS direct, but booked months in advance. Is there something with new tickets? Kind of how new tickets show up on the Beta My Trips site and old ones don't?

Spouse's JFK-PDX posted instantly this week. Wonder if its route specific?

No idea if its related, but my JFK flight this week posted while in air. Consistent with others, its mostly been three days for me. This was a first.

Yep, posting by landing
I've done 9 segments over the last 3 weeks. All but 1 has posted same day. Now that I am watching, my last 5 segments have posted by the time of landing. And there are some really short legs involved. Way to go Alaska! This is great. But then again, this is a new standard!.

This weekend's Fri-Sat ANC-SEA-ANC took about 3 days to post (standard). No PDX for a few months to test that theory...

I wish I knew what factor caused some flights to post virtually in real time, and some to take days.

My flights Friday and Saturday posted a few minutes after takeoff.

My flights Sunday have not yet posted.

About half my flights start or end in PDX, and my experience is always 3 days, including a round trip in the past 10 days.

My Saturday flight posted same day (didn't check at landing, but it was there that night) - my Sunday flight just posted sometime this morning as I know it wasn't there last night.

I wonder if whatever upgrade or transition they're doing to the system they're doing it some sort of phased rollout? Maybe Sundays they are intentionally not doing instant postings so they can run some sort of batch job to collect any un-posted miles? I'd love to see some sort of blog post talking about what they're doing behind the scenes.
