Alaska Airlines Announces Removal Of Change Fees

Alaska Airlines is the latest airline to announce that change fees will be eliminated permanently (following United, American Airlines & Delta). Unfortunately saver fares will not be included in this new policy (although those are covered through December 31, 2020 as part of Alaska’s COVID measures). It’s not clear if this new change policy applies to award tickets, it’s also not clear what will happen if you change to a ticket that is cheaper than your current ticket (under the current COVID rules you get a future travel credit for the difference).
