Gay Travel Discount on Alaska Airlines

March 22, 2015March 20, 2015

While browsing Facebook I came across a sponsored post by Alaska Airlines which is rather common. The focus, gay travel, was new. Or at least I hadn’t seen it before.

When I clicked through the ad I found that Alaska has an entire web page on their site devoted to discounts to various LGBTQ Pride events. The discounts are short term (I’m assuming only over the Pride weekend/event) and relatively small (7% or 10%), still a nice acknowledgement and support of the LGBTQ community.

Clearly Alaska has made promoting equality as a company a priority; they score a perfect 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. Alaska is one of only five airlines to score a perfect 100.

I was alerted to an amazing business class fare from Washington DC to Beijing by OneMileataTime. In the rule of travel hobbyists, I booked immediately and knew I could sort out details later. I couldn’t pass by a mileage run in business class.

I am glad that I booked quickly because the fare was gone in less than an hour. Read more to find out additional details.

Alaska Airlines Spring Award Sale now live

October 9, 2018March 6, 2015

Readers of my website know that I am a loyal Alaska Air passenger, so I was excited to see the Alaska Airlines Spring Award Sale today. A big part of my loyalty to AS is not choice but the fact that 51% of all flights in and out of my local airport (SEA) are on Alaska. Delta is gaining on Alaska, but only accounts for 14% of all flights.

Alaska Airlines Price Guarantee

April 7, 2015February 27, 2015

Never heard of the Alaska Airlines Price Guarantee? Here is what you need to know.

If you read this website with any regularity, you know that Alaska Airlines is my airline of choice. Partially this is by default (I live in Seattle and SEA is their hub), but also my experience is that Alaska Airlines is the best domestic carrier out there. Their crews are always professional and friendly, their loyalty program is top notch, and their customer service is wonderful. But, they are NOT always the cheapest option.

However, I utilize a tool that has saved me hundreds of dollars over the past couple of years.
