I've been unable to check-in online a few times after being upgraded relatively close to flight time. It required check-in at the airport.

Lonnng wait to checkin + bag drop at FLL for AS35 today. The reason? Ran out of bag tags and reps had to hand write up tags for everybody. Poor gal said it was the 2nd flight this week they had to do this.

With everything hand written/no bar code... guessing there will be some 20min guarantee vouchers going out tonight!

Everyone's current fav F meal gets a shout out in the 13 signs you’re an Alaska Airlines super fan blog post. Alternate hashtags: #notarealmeal #shouldaflownDL #FandCsubpls

Anyone know where #9 can be obtained? Mrs. rustykettel would probably not appreciate more junk. Impressed that the wheel lock is on. Attention to detail on that one!

I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but do we know when the new lounge in SFO will open?

turn of the century All kidding aside that depends on AS if they consolidate on the Virgin side or stay with the new terminal remodel. In any event AS is moving slow when it comes to the BR's

Frankly it is beyond me why AS has been so slow to respond to the demand for lounge space. They announce a significant increase in flights out of SAN yet for years FF's have been hounding them about opening an existing clubroom their answer not enough demand. Hell look around that terminal during operations.

Portland is packed and it will be years before anything is done to ease the pain there. Oh well, just let me finish my march to 1mm

EUG almost had an A330 visitor this morning. DL179 was going to give it one go on 10R at PDX then head to EUG if that didn't work. Fortunately they got in. The earlier 767 from NRT tried once on 10R then bailed for SEA.

EUG's booming! Upgauging back to mainline service (on UA), expanded destinations, now almost widebody international service.

calling in to the MVP line ... "To receive a call back, press 1; for other options, press 2"

do nothing ... "Your response was invalid; to receive a call back, press 1; for other options, press 2"

press 2
"blah blah press 1, mumble mumble press 2, to remain on hold, press 3"

WHY DOESN'T THE FIRST RECORDING JUST ADD "To remain on hold, press 3"

It's been a source of frustration for me too.

Greetings from TYO!

LAX-HKG yesterday was 16+ hours (897) due to headwinds, routing, and a hold. Apparently there was even a signal. (wx)

Being the only pax in F? Awesome
