Has anyone tried to online-cancel the mariners code booking to get the russ40 booking? I'll call but seems like a booking made with mariner code can't be cancelled online? Should be under the covid waiver so not sure why not

Looked at some flights I was considering. Noticed that discount only available for connecting flights, not direct flight. the connecting flights were higher to begin with.Going with the direct flight, without discount, is still lower. Looks really hit or miss for discount.

I guess since it is technically for "Seahawks fans", the stipulation that the discount is valid to/from Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Montana or Washington makes sense. It's similar to the restrictions on the Giants BOGO promo.

stephem

uh, that was my point...

I canceled two trips online, credited both to Wallet and then rebooked.

Not true. Deal is not valid for FRI or SUN. The direct flight you see only has a departure on one day being Friday or Sunday. Connecting Itinerary you see likely involve another flights operating on the next day.

Ugh. I just booked a handful of Florida -> Portland flights to push me over into 75K for next year (and maybe longer if AS keeps rolling status over). For $176 roundtrip, its worth spending a day in the air working *if GoGo works

Sigh... missed the "correct" blackout dates. Ended up paying a bit more than my original itinerary.
At least I saved $132 on the outbound.

Wow thanks for the heads up....This makes connection via SEA cheaper than the SAN NS's I take.

SEA based folks, is it easier to get upgraded ex:SEA on morning flight or redeye?

I took advantage of RUSS40 to book a one-way HNL-SEA flight in November for my wife and myself, but I had a few questions regarding the reservation. First, I wanted to book seats in F, but the promotion only applies to coach, so instead I booked Y fare seats. My wife and I are MVP, so the hope is we'll be upgraded to F if U availability opens up at some point. But I was just on ExpertFlyer sampling SEA-HNL and HNL-SEA direct flights until the end of the year and didn't find a single U availability. Does anyone know if this means we'll have zero chance of being upgraded to F? Or does lack of U have something to do with reduced capacity requirements in F and it'll become available closer to departure if it becomes apparent that reduced capacity can be satisfied? Note that although we weren't upgraded to F, after I received the initial reservation confirmation email, I then received an email about 2 minutes later indicating that we had been auto-upgraded to PC. Oddly (or at least odd to me), the system auto-assigned us seats 6C and 6D, even though both 6A and 6F were available. I switched us to 6A and 6C, but then I started wondering why the system assigned us like that. Is it supposed to be "better" from a covid perspective for a couple to be seated across the aisle from each other rather than having aisle/window with middle blocked?

The other question I had involves refundability should I choose to cancel the flight. As mentioned, I purchased refundable coach tickets (Y fare). However, to pay for the tickets, I used 3 $250 certificates (code + pin) and put the rest on a credit card. The certificates all expire at the beginning of January. If I do eventually cancel the flight, how exactly will I be refunded? I assume the portion that I charged to my credit card will be refunded back to the same card. However, what about the certificates? Will Alaska issue me 3 new ones with the same amounts and same expiration dates?

Caution: this code is only for legitimate Mariners fans. Gate agents will be pulling passengers aside and administering on-site screening in the form of obscure 1980s Mariners trivia. Posers and bandwagoners will be put on the no-fly list.

What would Jim Lefebvre do?

I'm not sure what the $33 MFR-LAX flights I booked with the Russell Wilson promo had to do with the Seahawks, but I'm happy. Thanks, Russ!

AndyKehn

Good promo. Alaska got 2k of my money for enough MR to get to mvp 75k and about 150k rdm.

tatterdema

Good deal! Only booked a single one way flight but saved a little ($31) on it. Wish it would have been good on Sundays, I would have booked several more.
