I agree. Most WN flights are already short hops. If inbound and outbound are both long flights, WN will likely need a refuel stop or cancel. Seem today’s flight for all MDW and BWI bound flights are coming from short CA in-bound (except one from BOI). Will be interesting what they do with BNA bound flight with one coming from DAL. It is operated by 73M however.

My first flight of 2023 is SAN-MCO on the 8th, just hope they have this sorted out by then. Otherwise I guess I get to look forward to sitting on the plane in ELP looking out the window...

In a case like this, do you get miles based on original routing or actual butt-in-seat miles?

I had a diversion due to weather earlier this year and I was credited the miles based on actual butt-in-seat miles / extra segment without asking.

Better ELP than some other airports I can think of but AS SOP is to plan for an alternate fuel stop at an online AS station to minimize interruptions.

Alaska needed fuel stops on E75L but not on Boeing ones. Got my E75L from SAN-PAE changed to SAN-SEA Boeing 737 with similar timings and reached an hour earlier .

Its quite possible that Alaska is tankering fuel into SAN as to not need fuel stops on the return leg.

AS895 (SAN-HNL) diverted to OAK on Sunday (Jan 1) and Monday (Jan 2). Yesterday (Jan 3), it diverted to LAX, trimming about 45 minutes off from its total transit time as compared to the day before. Today (Jan 4), it's showing a 2-hr departure delay already, so I suspect they've negotiated a refueling spot somewhere.
