Any idea when schedule changes will be loaded for flts between 1/10 and 2/10? We're flying BOI-PDX-OGG on 1/10 with FC seats via GGUs. Hate to have that flt canceled or changed. Not too worried abt return flt on 2/10.

December to Jan 4th dropped on 10/24, so if they follow the same pattern, maybe right before or after Thanksgiving.

It will switch you to a different flight if it needs to but you'll be in F still unless it becomes a Q400 without F which could happen on SEA-BOI.

Took a risk and bought two PDX-HNL tickets for mid-December earlier this month. Paid F on the outbound, Y on the return.
With the schedule change there are no longer PDX-HNL nonstops. Cancelled. Helpful agent said "No problem we can route you through SJC or SAN with an overnight in each city. But there is no First available via Seattle."
The tickets were a mix of Wallet funds and an additional payment on my AS Visa.
When I asked for the Visa portion to be refunded to the card was told "Sorry. You are only eligible for the full ticket purchase price to go into your Wallet."
"But Alaska canceled my flights."
"Sorry. There is nothing we can do."
Grrrrr...

Seems like AS is cutting back to somewhat close to Mar/April 2020 schedule and loads. 
Arrgh... If it gets really bad, we will have another week to week cancellation...

This is really going to create havoc with what's left of NYC flights from the Bay Area and SoCal. I have refundable air and hotel bookings in December and January and have been reluctant to book much further out due to the possibility of NY putting a quarantine back in place for CA residents. Didn't expect it back so soon. We were taken off the NY list back on September 17. Will sit on my bookings until we get closer to actual travel dates for an update.
https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/gov...y-quarantine-0
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that California has been added to New York State's COVID-19 travel advisory. No areas have been removed. The advisory requires individuals who have traveled to New York from areas with significant community spread to quarantine for 14 days. The quarantine applies to any person arriving from an area with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a 7-day rolling average or an area with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average.

Was booked on EWR-SFO on Jan 2nd. AS didn't even inform me it was cut; just happened to be Googling NYC-SFO flights and noticed AS had no nonstops on that day anymore 
What's worse is there are no NYC-SFO nonstops on either Jan 2 or 3, but there are before and after that weekend. That should be a high demand weekend for holiday travel - why would AS cut all the nonstops?

A rep. told me they won't contact you about a schedule change unless it's w/in 30 days. I feel that is really wrong.

I was notified about schedule changes on 2 itineraries, one in early December, the other in late December. Both had flight time changes greater than an hour. One itinerary includes HNL. I didn't accept those changes yet as in the likely event that the HI pre-arrival testing program is rescinded or HI issues a "stay-at-home" order, I can cancel and get a refund.
