Boarding Process for VX/AS Elites
Now that AS Elites get priority boarding on VX flights, what is the order in which VX boards their planes? More specifically, where are MVP Gold and MVPs in the boarding process?

MVP Gold and 75K board with FC and Elevate Gold. MVP boards with MCS and Elevate Silver.

Actually, it has been FC, then Elevate Gold/Silver, Priority (MCS).

So, I would expect MVP75/MPVG to board after FC.

AS Mvp on a VX flight tomorrow. Just checked in, and got Group B boarding. Is that good? I'm not familiar with VX boarding.

I bought my VS ticket on AS website and put my MP number put in.

I do not believe that VX Sabre can recognize Alaska status yet. So you may have to show your card to the gate agent when you board.

Not my experience; Gold is pretty much always called with FC.

B is the last group called.

My experience as an AS MVP as well, is that the ticket will not change and the GA just tells me to board when they call for AS MVPs
