The only airlines I choose when given the option
I will always choose Alaska Air if given the choice. They offer the best flight times and routes for me. I appreciate the 20 minute baggage claim guarantee and I've used it often to redeem miles when baggage doesn't arrived on-time. I also love the cheese platter and always pre-order that. I had and Alaska Airlines credit card, but a few years also, they canceled my account with zero reason (I've never paid late) and that frustrates me because I am a loyal customer. I fly every 2-3 months for work alone and have over 50k miles in my account (which admittedly isn't a ton, but for me it reflects my loyalty). Since changing to ATMOS, redeeming miles has diminished the value greatly. Even when you have enough miles for a flight, you still have to pay for a significant portion. And, the miles that are now required are astronomical. You can't supplement miles + money either so that part, I don't appreciate. The checked bag fee used to be $30 and is now $45. I only take a carry on size, but due to health issues, I cannot lift bags over my head. If I still had my Alaska credit card, that wouldn't be an issue.
