My sister is currently on a flight OAK-PDX operated by SkyWest. She was upgraded to Premium, but when the FA offered drinks, she said they only had water, soda, and juice.
According to the AS site, flights over 350 miles should have beer and wine available.
She can see that F passengers have beer, so it doesn’t seem like a catering problem.
Is there some exception on the site I’m not seeing for SkyWest flights? Or is this a different problem? Have other had this?
Thanks.

Skywest should still provide AS in-flight service.....have her drop a note to AS Listens. I got a $25 e-cert for no beverage service on a Q400 flight from PDX-SEA....the irony is that the VP of In-flight was on board and made a special presentation to the entire cabin about one of the FA on-board who was celebrating a milestone anniversary with Horizon so I would have thought the service would be beyond good with the boss on the plane, but unfortunately not....

Complimentary beer or wine for MVP Gold
Does anyone know if MVP Golds are still able to get a complimentary alcoholic beverage if seated in the Main Cabin? I know beer and wine are currently listed as First and Premium only, but hoping that since there is no credit card being swiped I can still opt for the beverage on my upcoming flight to Hawaii.

Just got off a flight where the FAs were peddling the Alaska visa credit card and the various benefits. One benefit was discounts on in flight food and drink purchases. She made it a point to mention that these services would be resuming very soon.
we will see.
we will see.

I will be pre-ordering the Croissant breakfast sandwich in 2 weeks for our morning flt to Maui. Assuming it's still available is there a choice of protein?
Hopefully a warm cookie and Baileys for desert.

You should get a cookie, but there is no Baileys, or any other spirits available. Beer & Wine only, in addition to regular beverages. Mahalo!

As far as the cookies go, if there are extra, toss them "overboard." I heard that PDXPremier is swimming to Hawai’i that day.

Sorry to resurrect a thread that’s been dead for a few months, but hadn’t seen this reported recently...
Med tapas and a kids picnic pack were available for purchase today on SEA-SAN. Credit cards accepted, not just pre-order. First I’ve seen that since pandemic cutbacks. Was in first, so took my comped fruit and cheese, but the announcement was notable (to me).
