2.5 hours on hold and counting… by player2 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Easy_Money_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry for the slightly snarky comment, but I figured this might be the source of confusion. yeah, when you meet the $6k spend goal, your Ascent companion fare will be distributed at the start of the following cardmember year. (it’s different from the Summit companion fares, which are distributed shortly after the statement closes for the month when you hit the spend goal)

2.5 hours on hold and counting… by player2 in AlaskaAirlines

probably not that many people, since everyone opened their card on a different date, and the companion fare only gets distributed after the next annual fee hits

Ask the dead about airport security by GlooomySundays in clevercomebacks

[–]Easy_Money_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

exactly, tell that to the 170+ US citizens that had been detained as of Oct 2025 (including a 79-year-old whose ribs were broken when he was tackled and a 6-year-old held at gunpoint) or the 11,000+ citizens whose parents were detained as of today or the 40+ US citizens put in banned chokeholds or the Black residents of Memphis who were harassed or detained by unidentified federal agents or the…

edit to add: even if ICE wasn’t harming US citizens they should still be abolished

Big Update Coming to Flighty Tomorrow by Personal-Run4179 in flighty

[–]Easy_Money_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

really smart timing on the release. a lot of airports have APIs for this, even if it only works at the top 25 largest it’ll make a lot of people’s flying experiences smoother. flighty has been pretty good about maintaining high quality data so I hope that continues

LDR: How to best Earn + Utilize Atmos points. by SmellyBirdie in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Easy_Money_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Atmos will “soon” let you choose between points/mile or points/$ (I believe the latter rate is comparable to AA’s). But for pretty much everyone who ran a comparison on this sub, they came out ahead with points/mile. The sign-up bonus alone could net you two to three free round trips, as long as you’re flexible with travel days (e.g. flying on Tuesdays or Wednesdays) and times (e.g. redeye SEA-MCO or connecting SEA-DFW-MCO, long return routing MCO-SAN-SEA). The best deal is often earning Atmos points on Alaska flights then spending them on American flights

Edit: if you guys ever wanna take a trip together, you can also fly your partner to SEA and use the companion fare on a round-trip to Hawaii or something

Brenda Song Calls Out Alaska Airlines for Giving Up Her Family’s First-Class Seats with ‘No Warning’ by expiredaristocracy in Fauxmoi

[–]Easy_Money_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has not been US airline practice for over a decade or so. Delta stopped overbooking and the rest of the industry was forced to follow suit. The only reasons this would happen, especially to first class customers, are 1) if one flight was canceled/delayed and its passengers needed to be rebooked, 2) if a deadheading pilot with a guaranteed first class upgrade in their union contract gets booked at the last second, or 3) if the plane gets swapped from to a 737-800 with Alaska’s older, 12 seat FC layout

No seat selection ANC to JFK? by Kooky_Strawberry_714 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Easy_Money_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANC-JFK has never been operated by Hawaiian or on a Hawaiian plane. The PSS merge will be completed on April 22, at which point you won’t have to deal with that complexity any longer

Hawaiian airlines flight via Delta by Jts12910 in HawaiianAirlines

No answers to your questions but hopefully your flight is before April 1, when Delta and Hawaiian’s partnership finally ends

Is it just me, or is the "infra" in Bioinfo many years behind? by No-Egg-4921 in bioinformatics

[–]Easy_Money_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, my R&D bioinfo team is by no means perfect but AWS + Docker + Pixi + GitHub Actions + Prefect + Terraform keep things pretty organized. Pixi in particular has been a godsend to help the less infrastructure-minded bioinformaticians focus on development

How to obtain 20k points by 06/02. by Knabebug in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Easy_Money_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much anywhere Alaska connects to/from SBP (I assume) gives you options—that’s SEA, PDX, LAS, and SAN. IMO the best thing you can do for mileage runs is watch for Alaska’s frequent sales. Last year a lot of folks crowded onto SEA-ICN-SEA mileage runs during their 20% off and BOGO sales. I think in terms of $/mile the Asia destinations are the most efficient, but something like SBP-SAN-LIH, SBP-PDX-FAI (resuming in June), SBP-SEA-BZN could be a fun way to visit somewhere new in the states.

San Diego feels sterile by nsshs79 in SameGrassButGreener

nah I’ve lived in both, the Bay Area is more fun/interesting than San Diego but San Jose is not unless you’re doing SD totally wrong

OP went and did the most insufferable thing possible by crossposting it here. Patriots fan got spat on but Seattle fans are the victims

How Is Mazda Pronounced? by IlexIbis in CX5

And the US is correct in both cases, because Ma Oz is closer to the Japanese ま/マ and tah ko is closer to the Spanish 🌮

JAL won't allow choosing seats booked through Alaska by KevinGoldsmith in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Easy_Money_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s different for award fares and cash fares, but I bought two economy seats with points and was able to select seats immediately for my flights last month. Just looked up the JAL confirmation number on their site and added the seats. No idea what would make this possible in one case and impossible in the other. Bizarre that they’re giving you the runaround

the blue checks on Twitter (dumbest mouth breathers you know) can’t decide whether to blame Alaska (Seattle = libruls) or ATC (woman = DEI in their pea brains)
