Tips for Requesting an Upgrade
Book Early:
Upgrade inventory often runs
out closer to departure.
Call Alaska Airlines:
Sometimes availability is
better when you speak with an agent.
Check at the Gate:
If First Class hasn’t sold
out, last-minute upgrades may be available.
Prioritize Comfort:
For long flights (like Seattle
to Anchorage), extra legroom can be worth every penny.
Is
Paying for an Upgrade Worth It?
For many seniors, the answer is yes.
A First Class seat offers:

31 in economy).
Hot meals and free beverages.
