This past Saturday I wrote in another thread:
So I did move to the 9 AM flight the next morning.
For whatever reason, four days later, I checked the reservation again this evening. Now that 9 AM flight has been cancelled and AS is proposing a 7 AM replacement. (Non-early rising traveling companion will not be pleased.)
Still considering that Montana road trip. Wondering whether an Alaska Airlines Itinerary Change Pool should become a Vegas betting thing.
My 5:35 PM return BOS to SEA flight on July 25 has been cancelled. They're offering 9 AM that same day as a replacement, which doesn't quite work because of plans later in the day. I'll call tomorrow and probably ask if they can move the return to the 26th, even though that'd add costs of one more night's lodging and one more day's car rental. :\
Or maybe I'll cancel the whole itinerary and we'll do that road trip to Montana instead.

But not this month with the current situation here in CA. I wonder how long it'll stick around for, it's a great tag flight for that other thread somewhere around here.

I guess we'll see the HI schedule changing again. Quarantine extended to 9/1.

Big adds today:
Alaska Airlines adds 12 new destinations in 2020 from LAX +RSW and from SEA
Looks like ANC-SFO nonstop is down for the count. Maybe in 2021? I want some dim sum and duck!

I don't think anyone is eating dim sum anytime soon served the "old fashioned" way. Besides, you can still get here "one stop" and even fly into OAK, which has quality dim sum and duck. You might even score a snack box on each segment!

Absent from the schedule is early morning flights that would be conducive to business travelers. That falls in line with AS' publicly announcing their intent to cater to leisure travelers initially, viewing business travel lagging in recovery.
Since AZ, in the MST timezone year round, it doesn't observe daylight savings time. In PST (Nov-March) a 7:25 am SEA depature arrives in PDX at 11:23. Not too business friendly.
I found a 2015 AS route schedule in PDF format; 186 pages. In 2015 AS was running 5-6 non-stop daily flights SEA-PHX. The first departure, 6:00 am. The schedule you see in Jan/Feb 2021 is marginally more capacity than in 2015. Do you believe that there hasn't been any growth in that market in the last 6 years? Or, do you see that the current market conditions required a capacity reduction of 4 to 5 daily flights which pushes it back to 2015 levels?
Is this all tedious because it is a route you don't follow but still need to question me because you think I am incorrect?

As to the delay, my apologies! My mother became ill and was hospitalized. Her condition was terminal. Since palliative care only allows two designated Essential Visitors with wrist bands during COVID-19, we chose to bring her home so she could be surrounded by all her loved ones. We had 10 wonderful days with her before she passed.
Whether then or now, I feel it is important to correct information that is incorrect. Apparantly for some, illustrating such with supporting documentation is "tedious," without supporting documentation, also "tedious." I have no issues with being corrected when shown to be wrong. I guess not everyone views it that way.

I'm very sorry for your loss, James. I hope that one day in the future you can be "Flying For Fun" again and able to raise a glass in your Mother's name in an exotic locale, perhaps somewhere with meaning to you both.
