Alaska Airlines Tightens Fare Rebooking, Cuts Price Adjustments (viewfromthewing.com)

Alaska Airlines stopped applying fare adjustments and now requires customers to cancel and rebook to capture lower prices, effective around October 7. One traveler found Alaska Wallet funds couldn't pay for a Companion Fare replacement booking, and paid seat upgrades also couldn't be covered with credits. The change creates risks of losing companion certificates, seat selections, and availability, while other airlines like Delta allow credits for companion tickets.
