Got an email today from Alaska Airlines cancelling our Seattle to Ketchikan flight on the 27th of June, enroute to fishing in Craig. Was lucky to see it as we were headed out the door for the day. Would have missed our flight from Ketchikan to Klawock. Both flights were scheduled at a civililzed time to get us to Craig about 5 pm, in time to rest up for the beginning of our 3 days of fishing the next am.
Alaska rescheduled us from Seattle to Anchorage, then to Ketchikan late in the day by way of Juneau, Petersburg and Wrangle. Nice. Lots of potential exposure. Would have been a challenge to get to Klawock at that time of the day, as well.
Called Alaska. Thought they might have been limiting/creating space on the flight due to the Corona bug, and was prepared to plead my case to not be bumped. The lady said we were not being bumped, but that Alaska was cancelling approximately 40% of their flights at this time. Our nicely timed flight in the middle of the day was the one cut.
We are now leaving home in the middle of the night to get to Seattle for a daybreak flight. Was able to finally get our reservation to Klawock changed to mid day, but we still get to hang out in Ketchikan for a while.
If you are headed to Alaska any time soon, be aware of what happened to us and be prepared to quickly adjust travel plans accordingly.
At least we hear the fishing (at least at this time) seems to be quite good.
