Free Flights For New Alaska Mileage Plan Members In California

Are there cancellation fees? Fine print notes will lose discount if make changes to the ticket but no mention of cancellation fees. Many airlines still waive cancellation fees, but I don't see such language on Alaska's website.

Alaska service within California has gone seriously downhill in recent years.

I'm based out of SFO and don't really go out of my way to fly alaska anymore. The inflight experience (especially in F) is atrocious with dated aircraft and bad food. No vegetarian options in CA in 2020 or even the ability to indicate dietary restrictions until very recently is laughable.

I started flying Alaska as a former Virgin America elite. Even more disappointing that they took Virgin's amazing modern cabins and gutted them into a crappy configuration. No idea why they even acquired VX but I avoid alaksa and despise the airline for killing one of the best domestic F experiences in America.

I flew Alaska Airlines often between SJC and SNA. Unfortunately this route was cancelled. I have no use for this offer.

Alaska pulled out of two California destinations while I lived in those communities. Eureka-Arcata and Mammoth Lakes where I live now. The closest AS city this would work would be in the LA area and that is where I would have wanted to fly to.

This is odd. Airlines, including Alaska, are hemorrhaging money and they think giving away free flights is a good idea?

I can’t imagine that very many people signing up under this offer will become long term customers. If someone isn’t a member by now, it’s more likely that they’ll just use the discount and then move back to their airline of choice(whether a loyal customer or just going with the cheapest).
