One reason Whew Dog gets around so much is that we love being Alaska Airlines VIP Gold Mileage Plan Members. That takes 40,000 flight miles per year to achieve the benefits of being Gold. To get this year's miles started, I took a quick trip down to San Diego and back to Seattle on Wednesday. I know this sounds silly to most people, but believe it or not, I am not the only Gold doing this. Alaska Airlines is also offering a wonderful deal this year until the end of May to let Mileage Plan members get double the miles for some specific routes on the West Coast. SEA-SAN is one of those routes and if you do your homework, it is quite reasonably priced.So on with the Adventure, I was upgraded on the way down which was very nice. As I was sitting through the announcements and door closure, I noticed that the new FCC regulations for electronics was being respected as we were never asked to turn off our electronics but to only place them in Airplane Mode. Nice!
San Diego's Airport is just completing a facelift. I have attached some of the interesting artwork below, along with Wednesday's picks for the local IPA at SAN's Alaska Airlines Gate Bar and of course the flight home's complimentary beverage for being Gold.
Today, we are off to the Florida Keys! I am actually posting this from 35,000 feet with inflight wireless from GoGo.
