Takes a lot of the value out of what used to be almost-free travel. <br />Sounds like parts of this splurge were a great treat, though! It's always been a temptation. Will be nice when American starts flying direct from Seattle to London next year, though I doubt their first-class will match the Brits.Brian J.

You would think - especially in this case - with four hours to get the bags from one plane to another they could do it. Alaska will soon be part of the One World Alliance - they had better step up their game if they hope to compete with the big boys!Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-86680351088656237402020-02-28T06:06:54.228-08:002020-02-28T06:06:54.228-08:00What a story!

"Breakfast in London - Dinner in New York" Handwritten beneath someone scrawled "luggage in Bermuda"! We've only ever lost luggage with BA. Seems as though nothing has changed.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173587481760295783noreply@blogger.com
