Its not uncommon if you're booking late and flying out last min to have plenty of PQD/MQD or PQM/MQM, but not enough PQS/MQS, so the milage run is still a thing

Its not uncommon if you're booking late and flying out last min to have plenty of PQD/MQD or PQM/MQM, but not enough PQS/MQS, so the milage run is still a thing (and will still be a thing), because that extra segment count will get you over the hump.
Also, AS (Alaska) allows you to qualify for status with just segs or milage, no spend requirement is needed - great for folks in Seattle, or who frequently fly to seattle.
- AmericanChopper 7y agoAlaska is also an amazing airline, so much better than any of the other domestic carriers. If I’m connecting to SeaTac from LAX or SFO, I’ll only fly Alaska. Connecting through those airports is so prone to delays, and the Alaska staff are absolutely amazing if you miss your connection. They’re also just great in general. Singapore is the only other airline I rate as highly.
- Fomite 7y agoI love Alaska (and am a Gold MVP on it, and dodged doing a mileage run this year) but I will say that their delusions of competing as a major character have made them more annoying in recent years.
