Alaska Airlines Offers Frequent Fliers One Free Checked Bag Throughout January

(RTTNews) - Alaska Airlines (ALK) Monday said that throughout the month of January, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members can check one bag free. The airline said it is waiving its standard $25 bag fee to encourage new and existing members to experience the benefits of Alaska's award-winning frequent flier program.

Customers traveling next month who are not Mileage Plan members can sign up for free online prior to their trip or at the airport before they check their bags.

All checked bags come with Alaska's baggage service guarantee. If a customer's checked bag does not reach baggage claim within 20 minutes of the plane's arrival at the gate, the customer is entitled to a $25 discount for use on a future Alaska Airlines flight or 2,500 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles.
