Example one-way fares

For obvious reasons, I haven’t checked all of the routes on which Alaska Airlines is offering deals so what you see below are just a few examples of deals that looked pretty good to me.

Be aware that unless stated otherwise, all these fares are “Saver Fares” which are Alaska’s most restricted fares.

1 – Passengers are allowed one carry-on + one personal item. Overhead bin space is on a first-come, first-served basis. Elite Mileage Plan passengers keep Elite boarding status.
2 – Elite members do not receive preferred seating, or upgrade benefits with Saver fares. On all fares including Saver, Elites receive bonus miles, baggage allowances, check-in benefits, and priority boarding. All other Saver fare rules and restrictions apply to MVP®, MVP® Gold, and MVP® Gold 75k Mileage Plan members.
3 – A 24-hour cancellation policy applies to all fares. Otherwise Saver fares may not be changed or canceled. A difference in fare may apply to changes made to Main and First Class fares. A $50 fee applies to same-day confirmed changes.
