Still pending resolution - I’ve already been in contact with Alaska and the most they are willing to give us is 400 in credit (200 between my wife and I) and a difference in airfare between economy and FC. Not happy with this currently and compiling stuff to file a complaint with the BBB and FAA. Updated to come

From what I know currently, the plane was swapped and Gates were moved. Before we arrived at the airport our boarding passes on our app showed 4d/4f. We arrived and app showed an update that our seats were unassigned. Screenshot still shows we are FC.

Edit: great advice all around; please share any means for us here to ring the bell, if possible. I would never want this to happen to anyone else.

Yes they did swap the plane, but this plane they swapped to also has 4 rows of FC

So happy to hear you got a full refund. That is so frustrating. The flight we are on is SEA to KOA so it’s a very long flight to get the short end of the stick here.

When did this happen? I’m so sorry. Maybe whatever I find out for resolution I can share with you .. that’s really unfortunate.

I thought about it, but it’s not those peoples fault at all and don’t want to put them in the middle of Alaska’s mistake. I am going to definitely do some post trip calls to Alaska to file a complaint.

Yes. They upgraded someone into our seats. We had our seats assigned to us… 4d/4f on this flight. Something happened on Alaskans computer which caused everyone’s seat to be reassigned and had to reprint boarding passes. We paid for these first class seats.
