2018.05.05 -- New Alaska Airlines Fares
Alaska Airlines announced they will be introducing their version of Basic Economy fare, Alaska's Saver fares this fall.

2018.05.05 -- Alaska Airlines Baggage Announcement
Make sure you’re familiar with Alaska Airlines' carry-on size limits – what you’re able to fit through a security checkpoint is not necessarily what you’ll be able to fit into an overhead bin.
In June 2018, Alaska’s maximum allowed carry-on dimensions will be slightly smaller to better align with our codeshare partners and other major U.S. carriers, so you can more easily transfer among airlines without running into a snag with your bag.
The new maximum dimensions will change from 24” x 17” x 10” (old size) to 22” x 14” x 9” or 45 linear inches (new size). Club 49 members will continue to enjoy their 2 free bags (or 3 free for intra-Alaska).
