Time the upgrade cleared or position on waitlist if didn't clear: We were 1 & 2 on UG list, but flight was U0/J1 the day before, so we got skipped over by #3. I upgraded at gate and my spouse (and next person on UG list) got pulled up front by gate agent just before door closure.

given it’s just a <1 hour flight it didn’t really matter.
. My first upgrade though given company flies me in paid F 100% of the time, hopefully not a sign for the rest of the year 😂

On 4/24, I had two additional flights and because of the limited FC space and success rate of complimentary upgrades on certain routes, I booked into FC (I/J class). 🤙🏻🍹

The upgrade processor being strange again: flight went from 0 to 3 about 48 hours prior to departure and sat at 3 until T-12.
Departed for the first time in recent memory with an empty F seat next to me -- load seemed reasonable so surprised there was no one eligible to upgrade.
No PDB, no snack basket - flight attendants were checked out.

Time the upgrade cleared T=5, Was #1 for 20, with 2 available at T=24, then cleared at T=5 with no seat assignment, only to be moved back to main at gate. Prior to upgrade, was 17C, then upgraded with no seat assignment, then moved to 32C. 😭. Thankfully 16C became available at T=1. Apparently, there was a misconnect they accommodated and removed my no seat F.

I was planning on doing two back to back mileage runs on 5/28 and 5/29, purchased from the Hawaii flash fare sale the previous week. However due to the inbound SEA-OGG flight departing late, the crew timed out. AS 878 was subsequently cancelled on 5/28, so I called reservations and asked for my 5/29 trip to be cancelled. Alaska ticketing agents accommodated everyone in hotels until their departing flight, mostly for either one night or two nights.
