With all the fanfare (dismay) at this morning’s Velocity devaluation attracting all the attention, I thought I would provide some hope via Alaskan Airlines FFP which has made some more subtle and, on balance, genuinely customer friendly changes.

Earning on award flights (even with partners) is a great initiative. With Alaskan’s imminent Oneworld membership, we can effectively earn Emerald status by redeeming miles with partners. After the recent AS miles devaluation, this firmly puts them back in my good books.
