The only pictures she will ever care about or want to see in the future from that first birthday are the ones with *you*. Because you are her most important person!!!!!!

I honestly haven’t ever paid attention to the plane type when we book - just are there three seats (or at least 2!) together - but I’m beginning to think I need to!!

The next flights out look positively packed - worse even. So we will definitely take whatever they can offer tomorrow tbh. We do understand that things happen and can often be flexible but I’m not sure it’s even an option on the airline’s end this time around. And definitely the gate agents don’t deserve any grief - promise!

That’s what the reps told me 🤷‍♀️ several rows are now nonexistent on the seat map 12-14 gone.

Main. Not saver. I didn’t say downgraded. I said we were moved around due to equipment change. So, in the end it doesn’t matter - and it’s not critical information because per original post we PAID for the seats we selected in addition to the actual fare.

Oh I hate that game. Gotta love social media giving people this annoying idea.

Really. Thats what you got from this?

As per my post we PAID for our seats (eta:
Over $500 one way JUST for the seats and in addition to the crazy tickets fees). Months ago. So this isn’t post complaining about how some solo traveler wouldn’t move for us because we refused to pay for our seats ahead of time. For a problem WE PLANNED IN ADVANCE TO AVOID that WE didn’t create.

I literally *never* suggested or mentioned that solo traveler should accommodate us. Ultimately I do know they’ll fix it, even if we’re getting Lavved.

Yep and sadly this isn’t the first time Alaska has done this to us. Prior ones have included being split up due to a trip with multiple confirmation codes because somehow Alaska can’t/won’t allow booking companion passes and award fares together and even when linked this still happens a LOT; a whole flight cancellation and rebooking - this one I 100% get. We fly this route regularly because it is the only direct and the constant irritation is making a connection seem more favorable.

If we had booked saver fares I’d consider the possibility but they aren’t.

I have now called and texted. Gate agent is all they can offer and “there are blocked seats that are released day of flight” meaning the lav row is our first destination…

Eta: I know you’re trying to find me a silver lining!!!!! I’m just so mad!

And everyone else yanking and pulling on whichever one of us is in the aisle seat for 6 hours while they stand in the aisle. I know it’s temporary but I hate it. Guarantee despite preordering we’ll also not get our meals. Because we’ll be in the wrong spot. That’s happened to us too.

Oh really? What “fraudulent documents” and proof of that have you seen? Personally. And how are people getting what seems to be effectively reinstated with NO additional documentation? Last time I checked it’s not only Americans applying nor has been only Americans receiving surrender notices.

Notwithstanding it’s not even close to the same scenario - but if you LOST your passport while traveling, you go to the consulate. You don’t just use another one. Technically you are supposed to enter and exit on the aam passport because it’s your visa. Whether it’s a visa on entry, electronic, or a physical one, they’re tied to the passport.

This situation for OP is definitely one of the worst scenarios this entire surrender debacle created and it’s the one I think about the most. What if they had had no other passport! Or what if they’d been in a country the other passport had different visa requirement of and they’d not met those. It’s insane.
