Up to 40% Bonus when you Buy Alaska Airlines Miles (Expires Tomorrow!)

Posted on by . Leave a reply

If you want extra Alaska Airlines miles, you better hurry! Tomorrow, December 28, is the last day to get in on this deal. It’s a buy more to earn more deal, and is not targeted. This is the cheapest you’ll ever see Alaska Airlines miles go on sale for. Purchasing between 40,000 and 60,000 miles gets you the 40% bonus. My best redemption using Alaska Airlines miles was on Emirates for an amazing First Class experience. I also used Alaska Airlines miles for Cathay Pacific business class flights. I’m really looking forward to using my Alaska Airlines miles on Condor. How wonderful that will be to fly nonstop to Europe from San Diego!

Luke and Ryan, please check your email for an email from me regarding your Alaska Airlines account information.  Thank you and happy holidays everyone!

Good morning everyone. I can’t believe it is only 4 more days to Christmas – luckily, I am in the giving mood.  A few days ago, Alaska Airlines sent me an email telling me that I could transfer Alaska Airlines miles for free, due to my Alaska Airlines MVP Gold elite status.  There really isn’t much need for this, since you can always book an award ticket for someone else with Alaska Airlines miles, but I did find a need.  My dad hasn’t flown Alaska Airlines in awhile, so I got an email from Award Wallet telling me his Alaska Airlines miles were going to expire in a few months.  Thanks to this promo, I transfered a few Alaska Airlines miles to his account to reset his expiration date.  After that, I thought I could help a few other people who need 1,000 Alaska Airlines miles to top up for an award ticket.  Keep reading to find out more…

View Legroom on Google Flights by Adding Legrooms Extension

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  I was in freezing Chicago over the weekend for the FTU Travel Expo / Signature travel conference.  I arrived late Saturday afternoon because I took a $500 bump from United Airlines, stayed the night at an SFO airport hotel and got on a Saturday morning flight to Chicago.  When I finally arrived, I picked up a few travel tips from the sessions and one on one conversations.  I will try to cover some of the public travel tips I learned this week.  Don’t worry, your secrets are safe with me.

Question… wouldn’t it be cool if you could see legroom for different flights on different airlines in Google Flights?  Yes, it is possible.  All you need to do is install the Legrooms extension to your Google Chrome browser.  I will walk you through all the steps the 1 step.  Also, while researching this post, I realized this was covered months ago by several travel blogs, but somehow I missed all those blog posts, so maybe this helps a few people like me.  Here is the basic Google Flights view:

Alaska Airlines Changes No-Show Refund Policy

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Just the other day, I received this email from Alaska Airlines and something caught my attention. It was the usual Check In For Your Flight email, but up at the top, even before my flight and confirmation information, was this notice about their updated no-show refund policy. They’ve made changes based on when you bought or last changed your ticket.

Up to 50% Bonus when you Buy Alaska Airlines Miles (Expires Today!)

Posted on by . Leave a reply

If you want extra Alaska Airlines miles, you better hurry! Today, October 5, is the last day to get in on this deal. It’s a great deal IF you were targeted and got the 50% bonus level. I unfortunately only got targeted for the 40% bonus. After all the good things I’ve said about Alaska Airlines they can’t show me 50% love :) A lucky family member got targeted at the 50% bonus level, so she’s already purchased her miles!
