Child Fares

Infants up to the age of two may travel for free if seated on an adult's lap. Lap infants traveling to an international destination (outside of North America) must be ticketed at 10 per cent of the accompanying adult's fare, but this does not guarantee them a seat. Infants traveling with their own ticket (50 per cent off of full fare) are required to have a child seat on board.

Pets

Up to five small pets total may travel in economy. Reservations made at least 24 hours in advance are required for any animals traveling in the passenger cabin, except tropical fish. A fee is charged to transport live animals. Contact an Alaska Airlines Reservations Agent for booking at 1-800-ALASKAAIR (1-800-252-7522).

Carrying Musical Instruments

Standard baggage allowance limitations apply. A separate seat can be purchased to carry a large instrument instead of checking it.

Passengers seated in the economy cabin on flights which are not transcontinental, but with durations longer than three hours, are offered a hot sandwich during mealtimes. Northern Bites is the customized meals-for-purchase service available on flights to and from most Mexico destinations.

Airline Food Link

There’s nothing like heading up in the skies to work up an appetite. Check out the airline’s menu before you fly so you can decide if you need to bring any extras. See sample meals and the Northern Bites "Picnic Pack" at Alaska's Meal Service page; or read reviews of meals and see photographs taken by other flyers on AirlineMeals.net.

In-flight Magazine

Moby Dick, War and Peace, Leaves of Grass… Do you need to pack a weighty tome or will the in-flight magazine keep you happily occupied for the duration of the flight? Alaska Airlines Magazine is available on all flights. You can see a sample magazine online and read some of the articles.
