As is the case with this flight, the cheapest fares available will be for Alaska’s saver fare, which as their most restrictive fare type is nonrefundable, non-changeable and doesn’t allow for priority boarding.
You can upgrade to the main cabin for more flexibility, including seat selection, for $40 each way. Travelers with saver fares can bring one full-sized carry-on item for the overhead bin and one smaller item that fits underneath the seat in front of you.
If you need more luggage, it will cost you $30 each way to check your first bag.
Be sure to search the other routes available in this deal.
