Win an Upgrade on Alaska Airlines

OK, gang, my wife and I have six Guest Gold Upgrades getting ready to expire on 31 Dec.  These upgrade instruments for Alaska Air are easier to use than the upgrades on United.  However, you still have to know what you are doing.

If you already have a reservation on AS, go to your “Trips” tab to see your reservations.  At the top, you will see a link to hit to apply a Gold Guest Upgrade.

It will tell you if you can instantly apply the upgrade.  If not, you can try to apply it a day before your flight by calling reservations, hoping that they released “U” space.  However, I would not say the odds are good as they have likely given the upgrades away to elites by then.  But you could try…

If you want to look for a fare that can instantly apply the upgrade, you need to click the radio button for “Gold Guest Upgrade” in the left column of the results page.  In the example below, note after each leg of a flight there is a box with “F” in it.  If it is colored in, that flight can be upgraded, if not, no upgrade available.  Note that one upgrade certificate can upgrade a whole flight.  In the example below, the last flight could get both legs upgraded, but all the others would only have one leg upgraded.

We have six upgrades to give away.  Same rules as last week – make a comment below and I will randomly pick the winners.  I’ll give people today and tomorrow to comment.  Good Luck!

  1. Though the hard product certainly needs an update up front, the soft product is often quite nice on Alaska. I certainly have a use for one of these upgrades!

  2. I have family of 4 planning to go Hawaii next year.
    But plan to purchase ticket by Dec with Alaska.
    any number upgrade would be Great!

  3. Thanks for your great blogging! I’ll be flying Alaska a couple of times before the end of the year. Would love an upgrade!

  4. My wife and I are heading to Las Vegas this Friday to celebrate her PhD dissertation defense. This would be a great surprise! Thank you!

  5. Family of 4…BOS to SAN for December Holidays……with your generosity, our
    vacation may just take off (pun intended) in comfort and style! Thanks for the very nice gesture!

  6. I’m flying AS to visit family for Christmas, and the flight there is upgradable. Could very much use this. Thanks.

  7. My elderly mother is visiting me over the holidays and would love to when one for her. I know that she should apply herself, but she is not good with social media/Internet. She is flying out of Seattle and would love for her to have the first class experience. She would be in heaven.
