Wine Check and Alaska Airlines get 'married'

[Mark_Y]

Todd, you can’t tease the frequent flyers reading this thread. Do tell?

If you are a ‘frequent flyer’ on Alaska, the offer is posted on their Mileage Plan special offers…but you should already know that…

So you’re suggesting it’s ok for me to offer Wine Checks at 10% off in Commerce Corner since I’m a Mileage Plan member?
If ok, I can then brag about it in the Jay Hack a$$hole thread.

Dan. The deal is 20% off with code. Are u skimming 10%?

I was wondering who would catch this?

So kind of cool/funky thing with this…I was flying on an Alaska saver tix last weekend with wine. Normally you’re supposed to get boarded last (“Group E for Extraordinary!” as Gate Lady phrased it) but because we had to check our wine at the agent (not with sky caps), they ended up putting us in Group B and seating us in those front extra roomy seats. We have no status or anything with Alaska. So there might be a chance on full flights, with saver tix, that you could get a better seat by checking wine, since I think their process may end up issuing a seat when the wine claim is generated.

Pure speculation, but when flying home, again on Alaska savers, this time with no checked wine, we did get the ‘correct’ Saver treatment: boarding last, fighting tooth & claw for overhead space, middle seats etc.

Still it was a lot better than United, whose style is to administer a beat down and drag your wine off the plane
