Adios Mexico! Alaska Airlines drops Mexico City in November
When Alaska Airlines launched their Mexico City route, we were super excited. The relationship with AeroMexico was on the fritz and since we couldn’t credit any AeroMexico flights to Alaska anymore, being able to fly to the capital city was a huge benefit. We could use our companion certificates and gold guest upgrades on a route that had tons of space. Well, now we know why there was tons of space… no one is flying!...

Your two programs would be merged into one, booking would be seamless across both sites, and peace and harmony would ring throughout the world. I call bullshit. Migration If...

I was talking to a friend of mine who travels a lot by train last night. I’ve only traveled on short routes between Portland and Seattle, so I was incredulous when she said she liked long train trips. There was an event in Las Vegas she wanted to attend, and being that she lived near Chicago, she mentioned that signing up for a train ride across the country was the way to go. As you can imagine, the first thing that I said was...
