No BOS/PDX love in the first sale for fall. $250++ each way BOS-ANC doesn't sound bad considering BOS-PDX is 209 ++ each way

SEA-BOS $179 o/w, or $199 for Fri/Sun travel. Could be worth popping out to Boston for a weekend, although I usually like it when I can route through PDX for better ug chances.

Interesting as I have a BOS - PDX - SEA coming up after Labor Day to use a Gold cert.

Question:

Can we bring a guest to partner AA lounges, as we can with Delta clubs?

LAS-SEA on AS 609; Oh well...

Finishing up a fun boys' weekend and my Gold qualifying run with flight back to PDX via SEA.

What's the right word here? Bored, snippy, distracted, unhelpful maybe? How about we settle on maybe the crew is tired after a long day. In any event, even up here in F, not the most pleasant AS flight I've had.

It is on time, however. . .^

Slept through this one, unlike my post above. Or if I woke up, I didn't realize why and promptly went back to sleep.

Off to another random part of Alaska next week courtesy of miles. Gotta visit them all before some AS bookkeeper realizes intrastate awards are too good of a value!

I was flipping through the online version (such a pain compared to hard copy) and couldn't find it. Do you remember about where it was in there?

The only camping we did is at a converted White Alice housing building. Beds, sheets, towels, showers, DirecTV, a kitchen, and wifi.

New food offering upstairs in the SEA BR tonight after the soup ran out: chips & salsa! A giant plastic tub of chips is served with tongs and a salsa container is set on ice on the side. Both were fresh and actually tasty!

We have that in ANC during extended hours- sometimes even Hummus appears.
