As the holiday season approaches, Alaska Airlines is offering several tips to help travelers navigate one of the busiest travel times of the year. The airline encourages passengers to utilize their mobile app for a more efficient experience. By checking in through the app, travelers can avoid lines and access real-time flight updates, gate information, and mobile boarding passes.

Passengers can also preorder meals directly to their seats via the app or website, allowing them to skip food lines. Meals can be reserved from two weeks up to 20 hours before departure.

In light of potential weather disruptions and delays, Alaska Airlines emphasizes flexibility in travel plans. The airline offers easy rebooking options with no change fees. Passengers are advised to check ticket counter hours and other airport-specific details before traveling.
