On my way to Portland and Alaska Airlines 10% Discount Code

I am flying to Portland today as my nephew is getting married this Sunday (Congratulations Garrett and Courtney).  I am flying on an Alaska Airlines flight but earning American Airline miles so I can keep my Platinum status.  Remember what you learned about the importance of alliances in the July 3, 2012 blog? The Platinum status is great because my luggage is free so I am going to test out my new Eagle Creek 28" luggage with the "no matter what happens" guarantee.

Thanks to my Skyguide membership I made it to the Alaska Airlines lounge, which opened at 5 AM. Boarding starts at 5:40, which is just enough time to grab a few breakfast snacks and finish this blog.

They even have a self serve pancake machine

If anyone will be traveling on Alaska Airlines between September 1 and November 1, here is a one time use code.  The trip must be booked before September 2, 2012.

If you can use the coupon please click on this link to my home page  for the blog and see if there is an Alaska Airlines ad on the right side of the blog.  If so, please link through that ad and enter the discount code.  Please leave a comment in the comment section once the code has been used.

If any of my readers come across a discount code or vouchers, maybe even a free lounge pass,  they can't use before it expires please forward the information to me so other traveler's may benefit.

Here is why I love Alaska Airlines.  They have a price guarantee.  Everyone always wants to get the lowest price and there is no worse feeling then buying a ticket and getting an email the following day that says your destination is on sale and you could have saved money had you waited.  Well guess what, Alaska Airlines guarantees their price in two separate ways.

How it works:

Find a lower fare on another site within 24 hours

Purchase an Alaska Airlines flight at alaskaair.com.

Find the same flight and itinerary for at least $10 less on another site within 24 hours of buying your ticket.

Complete the Price Guarantee request form.

After the agent verifies the lower fare, Alaska Airlines will give you a $100 Discount Code for your next Alaska Airlines flight purchase.

Terms & Conditions

REQUEST

Find a lower fare on alaskaair.com any time (This is GREAT!)

Purchase an Alaska Airlines flight.

Find the same flight and itinerary for less on alaskaair.com any time before your departure.

Use the automated process to claim a Guaranteed Airfare credit.

Alaska Airlines will give you the difference in price as a refund or credit that can be used toward your next Alaska Airlines flight purchase.

This lower price at anytime is almost unheard of in the airline industry.  

Next week we will talk about hotel price guarantees and the website that helps you beat them...Shhhhhh.

The Alaska lounge offers three free well drinks...too early for me.
