I just booked JL for early 2021 in J/F optimistically hoping I would be able to go. I saw that Alaska said they'll waive cancellation/change fees if the flight was booked between 2/27 - 5/31 for travel through 4/2021. Do I have up cancel by 5/31 if I decide to not go?

Alaska rebooked me CHS-RDU-SEA on AS flight 963. Will I earn the extra miles - or since its the same flight number will I only earn CHS - SEA ? (And since when did they stop in RDU?

I am booking a flight using AS miles on CX, and the AS phone agent asked for passport info for me and my travel companion, which I did not have at the time of booking. She said that I should call back and provide. I don't remember having to do this before - is this needed? Or can I just provide this when I am checking in at the airport?

You can go to the CX website & manage your booking there. Use the CX confirmation number which you will find when looking at the flight details, second line, mobile APP; Partner Confirmation. Enter your Passport information under the APIS (Advanced Passenger Information System) section. No need to call AS back. If you have provided a middle name to AS you will need to append that to your first name without a space to pull up the CX PNR on their website. ie James Scott Miller will be jamesscott for given name.

Redeposit fee waived on award tickets? (purchased before 2/27)
Parents booked award tickets in late 2019 YYC-EWR (via SEA) for August and have decieded not to go.Will Alaska waive the redeposit fee? There was actually a schedule change as well that might do it. flight leaves at 1230pm rather than 150pm and gives them a longer connection in SEA. How long does the schedule change have to be to qualify on that basis?

What happened? As I read the CoC, it would have to be more than 60 minutes change in departure time.

Hi all, Does anyone know whether AS will allow two different partner awards to be booked on the same day? For example - ORD-LHR and DFW-HKG both on Oct. 20. I haven't found anything in the AS terms and conditions about this, but wanted to confirm before one/both awards are voided. Many thanks
It's not in the Mileage Plan T&C (other than a vague prohibition about fraudulent & deceitful actions), but the main Contract of Carriage prohibits impossible/illogical bookings which those would appear to be. Depending on how Alaska discovers it & what they think is the motivation may range from Reservations contacting you to cancel one of them or the Fraud department suspending/cancelling your MP account.
Thanks rustykettel ! Basically an issue of two events and not sure which I'll be able to attend based on current situation, so I'd like to have the award available and will then cancel once there is greater clarity on which (if either) will go forward. I know that AA won't let you double book an award, just wanted to confirm with AS.
Chiming in late, I have done a few multiple award bookings on different AS partners, I even have two right now (same day, same departure city, different partners/connecting city and destination), with this whole COVID issue. I have never had an issue with booking or holding onto the award ticket up to about 24 hours before actual departure time.
