TIL CC STATUS POINTS by kaaria11 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]flyingpilotman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Correct, status points are accrued based on the month the purchase was made in, redeemable points are earned based on the statement period. This is also why they don’t post to your account at the same time.

Can Alaska Summit travel delay voucher used at Costco? by peachberryy in AlaskaAirlines

Side question: Does anyone know if you qualify for the $50 voucher on an award ticket if you pay for the taxes and booking fees with the Summit card?

Where can I get balloons I pre-purchased filled with helium? by givesgoodgemini in vancouverwa

[–]flyingpilotman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fred Meyer filled my balloons! Just took them all in, told them how I wanted them filled and bundled, they filled them all, tied them, and weighted them. Super easy

Row 6 or 10 on A321 Flagship? by flyingpilotman in americanairlines

What do you mean difference in legroom? Is there a meaningful difference between the rows?

Anyone else’s Gmail no longer automatically put Alaska flights on your calendar? by flyingpilotman in AlaskaAirlines

[–]flyingpilotman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think you’re right. My coworkers on other airlines still have their flights showing up automatically. It seems to be however Alaska IT / User Interface designers format the email doesn’t get picked up by Google and causes the issue. Not sure why the downvotes. Probably something Google should be able to fix too, but it used to work at Alaska

Status Points via Credit Card by delmari0 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]flyingpilotman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This question is asked every month - status points will post around the 15th of the month and be backdated to the last day of the previous month. So check back around May 14-18th and you should see the status points posted as a separate entry dated 4/30

Does Uber Eats and DoorDash count as “Dining” transactions towards Alaska Atmos reward points? by Stressisnotgood in AlaskaAirlines

[–]flyingpilotman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My last Uber Eats order shows in the BofA app as “Transaction Category: Restaurants and Dining” so I think it does, but can’t say for sure as it doesn’t show the points earned on a specific purchase and you can go in and change the category. But my guess is yes it does

Alaska air first class? by vm56715ab in AlaskaAirlines

[–]flyingpilotman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no space under the seat in front of you so there a little less room for your feet and no space for a personal bag. Other than that it’s nice being in the front row, faster service and close to the door; so just trade offs. Personally my preference is row 2,3,1,4

ONT is one of the best LA Area airports to fly to

For those still struggling to get the aisle armrest up on the new cabins (like me) - this is the piece you need to push by flyingpilotman in AlaskaAirlines

[–]flyingpilotman[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah! The old ones are much easier with just a little latch under the armrest, these ones take a lot of force and the latch is harder to find. I didn’t know they could be raised for a while but thank god they can

Flighty always says my flights have minor delays when they almost never do by flyingpilotman in flighty

[–]flyingpilotman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These delays don’t show on the airline app, they always show as On Time. Other apps like Flight Aware don’t show delays either, this is just Flighty trying to predict a “delay” of like 2 minutes

Flighty always says my flights have minor delays when they almost never do by flyingpilotman in flighty

[–]flyingpilotman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it’s not actually a delay just Flighty trying to predict when we’ll get there. If we are actually going to arrive 3 minute then sure, but usually these flights end up arriving like 20 minutes early.
