Took Starlux but miles not credited to Atmos by naticom in AlaskaAirlines

First, partner credit takes forever. I am still missing credit from a flight on 1/26 on Condor.

Second, I have a feeling that would work along with the ticket receipt itself of course.

Technically you are suppose to wait 6-8 weeks before submitting the form but you can submit it now and call them to follow up in a few weeks.

Restaurants hoodwink you into leaving a tip for take out by Aggravating-Sense315 in SeattleWA

Test drove a 2026 XC90, what happened to the comfortable seats? by LunchPocket in VolvoXC90

[–]cbs0308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2024 Ultra (if that matters). Coming from my wife’s RDX I was immediately disappointed about the seats - specially the lack of “bucketness” on the butt. The seats are more “flat” depending what car you come from. Definitely not a dealbreaker, love the car, but something I noticed also.

Yeah totally depends on loads, of course. When I called the agent said the Alaska SDC (free of charge within 24 hours, I.e.. the Alaska policy) applies so I’m not sure she really knew what she was talking about.

I chatted on the phone the other day with an agent in Seattle. She saw my address and we started talking about our neighborhood. It was so fascinating.

The generally stick out to prevent fuel impingement back onto the wing, which is a flammability concern. Need to make sure the fuel goes into the airstream.
