Ever wonder if the flight status page on alaskaair.com could load faster? It's kinda slow to load.
I guess they could shave 5 MB off the page size if they weren't transferring these two images as part of the process:

I have no idea why those are getting requested as part of the page load, but they appear to be! Some kind of weird Easter egg? Something they added for testing and forgot to remove?

As far as I can tell, these photos don't exist publicly on the internet anywhere other than the flight status page. That is so weird! The dog is cute at least.

It's been a little squirrelly of late but then us old timers remember oh too well the IT issues back in the early 90's!.

Enjoyed a peaceful 45 minutes in the PDX B concourse mini lounge yesterday. That was my first visit to the space, and I appreciated a glass of sparkling rosé at the start of my trip, even if it did come in a plastic cup,
There were only 3-4 pax and two staff members in the room this Easter weekend around 7:30 pm, so definitely no crowding. Staff members were friendly and proactively helpful.
As a person with some mobility challenges, it was nice to be able to walk to my gate again. With the construction at PDX right now, I don’t risk it heading to the C gates and always request a wheelchair. Lucky for me, my MFR flight left out of B3 so the lounge was exceedingly convenient.

JAL Points to Credit to Alaska Mileage Plan
I booked a RT MIA to Taiwan on JAL in PE. I completed my flights on Monday night, April 10...When should I wait for points to credit before reaching out to Alaska Airlines? The outbound flights on March 28 have already been credited (70%). BTW, except for HAN--TSA on JAL metal, all other metal was AA.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Does AS have lounge passes anymore?
I know my wife can just pay at the door (she won't though) so is there a place I can go get her a pass (even if I have to pay)? I am lost here since I am a member. Actually I am not even sure SEA sells day passes.
