If you’re not upgraded right away, Alaska Airlines will keep checking for upgrade availability – up to 1 hour before your flight.
You must check-in at the airport with an Alaska Airlines agent or at a kiosk if your upgrade is confirmed before check-in and Alaska is the operating carrier for the first flight of your trip. You won’t be able to check-in using alaskaair.com or the Alaska Airlines app.
Upgrade not confirmed at check-in?
Ask an airport agent to add you to the standby list. This won’t happen automatically. Keep in mind:
You can view your status on the Alaska Airlines app, the gate information display, or on alaskaair.com under flight status.
Alaska Airlines uses a single waitlist labeled “Upgrade requests” for First Class upgrades and Premium Class seat requests.
Executive Platinum members can be on the waitlist for both a Premium Class seat and a First Class upgrade at the same time. All other AAdvantage® elite status members will only be on the Upgrade waitlist for a Premium Class seat.
Immediate access to Premium Class seats
You’ll have immediate access to Premium Class seats a few minutes after your ticket for an eligible fare is issued, and if space is available.
If you book your trip on alaskaair.com, find fares that are eligible for immediate access to Premium Class using the “Upgrade fare type” filter on their website. Here’s how:
AAdvantage® Gold members – choose “MVP”
Platinum / Platinum Pro – choose “MVP Gold”
Executive Platinum – choose “MVP Gold 75k”
Whether you book your trip on alaskaair.com or another booking source and visit Alaska’s website later, you can reserve a complimentary Premium Class seat. Here’s how:
Choose a seat in the Main Cabin.
Buy your ticket for a seat in the Main Cabin.
After your trip is ticketed, you’ll be assigned a seat in Premium Class if you booked an eligible fare or once your elite status window opens.
Keep in mind:
Seats marked as “Alaska Elite” are available complimentary to AAdvantage® elite members.
The seat type you choose in the Main Cabin – aisle or window – will be your seat type in Premium Class.
If you choose a seat in an exit row, you won’t be moved to Premium Class.
Choosing a Premium Class seat before ticketing will result in a charge. To receive a complimentary Premium Class seat, you’ll first need to choose a seat in Main Cabin and pay for your ticket.
You can view your assigned seat in Premium Class on alaskaair.com using your Alaska Airlines confirmation code.
Find your Alaska Airlines confirmation code (also known as a record locator) on your booking confirmation email. If you booked your trip through American, you’ll find it when viewing your trip on aa.com or the American app.
