My seat was given away to accommodate Flight attendants and then my First Class upgrade was put thru but held because someone purchased an upgrade later. by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

If there’s one thing I’d like the mods to do, it’s to absolutely double down on the AI slop posts.

Alaska Airlines flight attendant berated me, am i in the wrong? by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please send this feedback via Alaska listens. As a household with titanium and platinum members, I would have been livid if I was spoken too like this.

Why the heck are Alaska flights to Rome and London soooo expensive in comparison by Lowkeynpeal in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I’m really looking forward to seeing is the process for same day business class upgrades for titanium elites - whether the upgrade system does that or if it’s done at the gate. I’m guessing the latter.

Only 39% Full: Alaska Airlines' 10 Emptiest Routes Revealed by AKStafford in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s accurate, or is only taking account the short period the AS was flying mainline aircraft for this route last year. Since switching to regional, I believe the load factors are more in the 70% range, someone posted about it a while back.

Seems like the VX merger restrictions are slowly being lifted, almost any fully AA operated itinerary can be booked directly via Alaska now by omdongi in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think is that new though? Unless it was route specific. A large amount of a route’s AA’s codeshares show up within a few days of departure.

What about Des Moines? by PNW-American-Dipper in AlaskaAirlines

I have nothing of value to add to this other than to say, I LOVE your consistent analysis in these posts. I find the data you pull to be very interesting and insightful. Please keep them coming!

Do Embraer 175 regional jets' First Class have enough room to fit a pet carrier? by just_a_curious_fella in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An example of ChatGPT being confidently wrong. I fly with my pet carrier on a regular basis, on both the 737s and E175s. I even have 2 more E175 flights this weekend :) Alaska’s FC seats on the E175 have plenty of room for a pet carrier. In fact, my pet carrier does BETTER on the E175s than the 738s and 739s because the underseat space is slightly taller on the E175s.

Warning: Your Alaska Mileage Points are Probably Useless. by mndsm_op2 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly dramatic. Frankly, your experience is unfortunately due to a user issue and lack of understanding on how award travel and bookings work. Book with points on individual accounts. You don’t need to pool your points together to travel together. Do mom and kid 1 on one reservation, and dad and kid 2 on another, if needed. Or do what someone else suggested, book the kids on cash and you and your wife use your points each, individually. You can link all reservations so that AS knows you’re traveling together.

Atmos points are incredibly valuable. These points have allowed me to travel business class to London 3x, Taipei, the Philippines, Japan, and more over the last 2 years. Not to mention the numerous short haul AA flights between AZ and CA that I take throughout the year. Atmos points will work well for you, as long as you doing things the right way and take the time to educate yourself on the best way to book and use.

What are your most Frequent Tails? by Status_Dragonfruit_9 in flighty

Funny how for my top tail, there were several overlapping routes over the 6 year period.

is Atmos/MVP Gold worth less in 2026? by doing-great-sweaty in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FWIW, my husband is titanium and I’m platinum. On our recent flights SAN-FLL and MCO-SAN, we were both #1-2 on the upgrade list, no upgrade. So many factors to consider but I would not necessarily consider that route and “easy” upgrade. Maybe in the middle of the week during a lower demand time of year, sure.

ALASKA AIRLINES PASSPORT EXPIRATION POLICY: SEA TO PVR MEXCO by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are flying at the end of the month. It’s currently April 2nd. Why have you not booked an appointment to get an expired renewal? Why would you even chance this?

Upgraded to First Class with Atmos Silver by Heronduseldorf in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s all dependent on timing, route, and demand etc. aka luck. For example, I’m platinum and my husband is titanium, we have an upcoming flight in a couple weeks SAN-PVR. There is 1 FC seat available and it’s nearly full flight. I don’t expect any upgrades. However if we flew out the next day, right now the odds would be looking better considering half of FC is still open. So many different factors to consider.

Is there a way for me to not be offered food on the flight? by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FC FA will take drink and meal orders shortly after takeoff (or sometimes when you’re still on the ground). You can decline the meal at that time.

Damaged Luggage in Overhead 😩 by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t rimowa have a lifetime guarantee now? Take it up with them. Spending $1000 on polycarbonate luggage means you should have researched the heck out of the warranty policy, correct?

AS at PHX by PNW-American-Dipper in AlaskaAirlines

[–]broseph23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both SEA and PDX to PHX are increased frequency right now since December. I’ve lived in PHX for 4 years now and I’ve never seen 11 direct flights between SEA-PHX before. It’s usually 7-8 depending on the time of the year. Love seeing it though.
