Appeal this. There are some weird exclusions, like BA CityFlyer flights, but AS does seem willing to credit in these cases if you escalate.

The hokey pokey was just performed at gate 51B on the delayed SFO-PDX. Glad to see some pmVX people still having fun with “blah airlines”. ^

They were still hawking them on my SEA-ANC flight on Sunday, including the "Bonus" miles.

Just an FYI for those who don't check in on CommunityBuzz: there's a September Seattle DO in the works.

That amazing moment when you waste a GGU only for there to still be 4U available at the Gold Window...Sigh. I knew I should have waited but was worried about being on a Q fare..only to forget thats an upper fare. I wish we could go in Alpha order of high to low.

Misloading or change?

Noticed that the full size Alaska Beyond was in the seat pockets on my QX Q400 flight. Has the cut down Horizon edition been discontinued?

Totally unrelated, I have a trade show this time of the year in Portland. For the first time in three years, my flights weren't cancelled!^ (The return was delayed about twenty minutes.) I'm gonna miss picking up discount codes.

I know but apparently yesterdays delays were worse than ever when I called the gold desk while at the airport ( lines were worst than I have ever seen there ) they told that the east coast was also experiencing issues as well. Next trip is my mm flight!
Be glad to get that over with.

There seems to be some shortage of E175s at the moment- the dreaded Q400 seat map just showed up on my Tuesday PDX-OAK flight and I see it’s at least Q400 for a few days. A very unwelcome return for my last week of commuting

Thanks should be next Monday as I understand your boarding pass will reflect the mm at least that's what I was told by an agent at DCA two weeks ago.

And that sucks sucks and sucks more !!!! Last week I happened to fly long haul on the 175 and it was fine actually in some ways more comfortable than some of the old ghetto birds left over. Has anyone noticed that the single left side seats are not as comfortable as the right doubles ? Or is it just my flat ... from all these miles ?

Becka has to have the answer to that one

reminded me that we recently had dinner with friends here in SEA. During conversation, he disclosed he was 3MM.!!
My first thought, damn, that is a lot of butt in the seat miles!! He mostly commented on how there is no recognition when he travels now and is surprised at this.
Hope your experience is a good one. Congrats.
