Alaska Ends Repricing Without Cancellation as of October 7 (beatofhawaii.com)

Alaska Airlines stopped allowing travelers to reprice existing reservations at lower fares without canceling, effective October 7, based on passenger accounts. Passengers must now cancel and rebook, which can forfeit Companion Fare discounts, paid seat upgrades, and other benefits. The new rule applies to both Alaska and Hawaiian bookings on the shared reservation platform, though Alaska hasn't confirmed coverage for all Hawaiian-operated flights.
