After completing my 2nd Mexico trip in the past few months and having a thoroughly safe, fun, and relaxing experience both times, I'm not suprised to see AS add so many flights to Mexico lately....it really has become a great alternative to all the confusing Hawaii COVID testing and quarantine requirements that seem to change by the day.

It appears you are correct. The first flight back to SEA on March 12 is at 9:15 am so an overnight in PVR. I have had some excellent catering ex-PVR. I will be heading back to PVR on the 16th but flying AA direct from PHX. It was a 10K add on to a 7.5K MSY-SEA-PHX award last month.

This may be a really dumb question, but where on the website (admittedly, I've never been one to appreciate the art of web design and rarely click around) do you find the 30% loaded onto by Jan 5th, as referenced in the letter?

It will likely be under Discount codes. However, it's on the 2nd so it might be a few more days until you see it.

This is right - you'll need to log into your MP account first, and on the left hand side under Account you'll see "Discount and companion fare codes". It'll eventually be in there.

I am not stupid. I wouldn't use GGUs just to use them. I would check all of my options. My home airport is ATL, so I am specifically looking for ATL-SEA U space, which is the first leg of ANY Alaska trip for me. I haven't seen any advance U space for this route for months on end...

Literally the first date I picked.



Turned out to be two out of three.

There hasn't been U space anywhere for months, but with seat blocking in F ending on 1/6, all of that has changed. The very first day I checked has it, as a matter of fact.

Exactly. AS wasn't going to be giving away as much F as usual when F capacity was capped at 50%- U was gone and a lot of upgrades were happening inside of 24 hours, or even at gate (though they were still there). Normal(ish- I still wouldn't trust schedules more than 4-6 weeks out a lot) operations gets things more normal.

Four MP members in household (two 75Ks and two MVPs [one organic, one gifted]). As of today's mail, all received letters with the 30%.

Thank you AS!

Sorry, I was talking about further out in the schedule. Even pre-COVID, I can't remember the last time I booked paid travel only one month in advance. Specifically, there is no U space ATL-SEA or SEA-ATL after April 30. Space used to be available further in advance.
