Alaska Airlines anticipates record Thanksgiving travel volume across West Coast hubs

With potential weather-related delays, Alaska Airlines emphasizes flexible travel plans by offering easy rebooking options without change fees. Travelers are encouraged to check ticket counter hours and recommended arrival times before their trip.

For baggage handling, guests can prepay for checked bags via the mobile app. Each guest is allowed one carry-on and one personal item; checked bags incur a $30 fee for the first bag and $45 for the second unless waived for certain members like Elite Mileage Plan holders or U.S. military personnel.

The airline also addresses family travel needs by providing complimentary gate checks for strollers and car seats and ensuring young children are seated with their families at no extra cost.

Alaska Airlines' Mileage Plan allows passengers to earn miles toward future flights on all fares flown. This includes earning miles when flying with oneworld® Alliance member airlines or other worldwide partners.
