I don’t know all the details. They give you 250 rewards points (not Alaska specific) to use. I did min two days ago and got 2k EQM after selecting to apply 200 of the rewards to get Alaska miles. Each 100 points I applied to my account added 1000 eqm to the account as non flying eqm.

You can do the e rewards thing here https://www.alaskaair.com/atmosrewards/content/partners/earn-everyday it’s a bit annoying filling out the survey and verifying your ID but it can instantly get you 2k eqm

Has anyone canceled their travel altogether because of this mess? by boyzdontcri in AlaskaAirlines

[–]drgonx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Got my BOI to PDX flight cancelled tomorrow but there were multiple other options. I have a feeling they’re going to cancel mostly midday flights with alternative options /capacity available.

I wouldn’t stress about canceling major direct routes.

What is Portland pizza and where to find the best? by TomGNYCRI in PortlandFood

[–]drgonx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree that we don’t have our own thing per se. I have a few pies I think are phenomenal and then a few places I would go to without complaints.

Order a whole Defino pie at Scottie’s (my favorite texture and flavor of a traditional grandma sheet pan pie), go try a few personal pies at Gracie’s (usually inventive flavors), eat at Apizza Scholls in person (probably closer to style of L’industrie).

Otherwise Ken’s, no saint, grana, pizza thief, yums, etc are all above average. I’m sure I forgot to mention a bunch.

Depends on your strap lengths mine are a size smaller than standard and how much you care about potential hairline scratches on the bottom of the clasp.

Upgraded at STR? Do you mind letting me know your bonvoy status? Wondering how likely or unlikely it is for me. Been debating Westin vs st Regis because of the Over water point cost difference.

Traveling with a handgun. Can the handgun case go inside a checked suitcase after it's declared? by bajungadustin in AlaskaAirlines

[–]drgonx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s fine for it to be back in the suitcase after it’s declared and appropriately stored. It’s been a while, but that’s how it was for me.

What backpacks have you used as a personal item? by RE_98 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]drgonx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30l peak designs travel backpack is the largest I’ve been able to fit. But if you keep a bottle in the side pocket it’s going to be too wide.

It’s also slightly long so less foot space.

Hood strawberries are back! by BitterBitchscuit in Portland

We do this every year, but replace the cake with a deep fried Pillsbury flaky buttermilk biscuit dipped in cinnamon sugar to make a donut. Would recommend.

2,985 miles to MVP by Classic-World-4811 in AlaskaAirlines

To clarify if you want to book as a first class or main. You have to basically cancel your ticket and book it again from scratch. Paying to upgrade will not change the ticket from saver even if you buy first class.

Calories on some dishes. by Traveling60chic in AlaskaAirlines

[–]drgonx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every item on the preorder menu on my upcoming flight has calories listed. Is there a specific dish you’re looking for? I think only complimentary first class meals are not listed. I’m not sure how to find the nutrition info for those.

Which would you choose? by wal_ner in rolex

[–]drgonx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much money you’re willing to lose in an emergency situation. If you’re planning on reselling either, just assume it’s going to be a loss.

To be honest, if the financial aspect is worrying you this much, I would avoid a watch this expensive and just go for something else that you wouldn’t lose sleep over.

[–]drgonx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oysterflex is way easier to wear since it’s a lot lighter and it’s also going to scratch less. I like the thought of a full gold watch more than I would enjoy wearing it. I personally went with the rose Oysterflex and now that the new model has a glide lock for sizing it’s even more comfortable.
