Payment Process
Monthly Payments
By joining Flight Pass, the subscriber agrees to 12 monthly, automated payments at the stated price at sign-up. The subscriber specifies the credit card to be used for the monthly payments during the sign-up process. This credit card can be updated after sign-up by logging into the Flight Pass account and updating the credit card information on file. Subscriptions are automatically renewed each month during the subscription term and the credit card on file will be billed accordingly. It is the responsibility of the subscriber to ensure the subscription is renewed successfully each month. Renewals will be processed on the 1st of each month, regardless of when the original sign-up and payment was made.
If a monthly payment is not successful, the subscriber will be alerted and benefits will be unavailable until a successful payment is processed. Any outstanding balance due will be charged at billing, up to and including prior months’ balances where payments were unsuccessful and unresolved.
EWallet credits are separate from the Flight Pass program and cannot be used pay monthly Flight Pass subscription fees but may be used on applicable popular flight surcharges.
Flight Reservations Payments
The credit card used to pay for flight fares, taxes, and fees is specified during the booking checkout process. The subscriber must enter a valid credit card at booking and payment must be successful for a reservation to be created.
Credits
Deposit
Upon successful payment each month of the monthly membership fees, credits for roundtrip flights will be deposited into the subscriber’s Flight Pass account. The number of such credits, and the frequency they are deposited into a user’s account, vary according to the options chosen by the subscriber during initial sign-up.
During such time that successful payment cannot be made, credits will not be deposited into an account and redemption of credits for roundtrip tickets will not be available.
Validity
Credits are valid up to the indicated expiration date assigned to each credit. The expiration date for each credit is the date by which that credit must be redeemed to book a future ticket on Alaska Airlines; the expiration date is not the date by which a ticket must be flown. If a credit is redeemed and a reservation created, and that reservation is cancelled prior to the credit’s expiration date, the credit is still valid and may be redeposited into the subscriber’s account. The subscriber must call Alaska Airlines to process the flight cancellation and request credit redeposit. The redeposit process may take up to 72 hours to complete. The expiration date of the original credit applies to a redeposited credit.
Forfeiture
If a credit is not redeemed prior to the expiration date that credit is forfeited by the subscriber. Credits cannot be rolled-over to future periods. If a credit is redeemed prior to expiration, but the reservation created by that credit is later cancelled after the credit’s expiration date, that credit is forfeit and cannot be redeposited into the subscriber’s account.
Flights
Routes & Carriers
Flight Pass credits can be redeemed for travel on nonstop Alaska Airlines flights within California and between California and Nevada, Arizona or Utah. Flights may be operated by Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, or SkyWest Airlines. Only nonstop flights may be selected; no connections are permitted. Roundtrips must be between two airports; open jaw itineraries are not permitted. Flight Pass credits may not be redeemed for travel on other airlines, including partners, or on Alaska Airlines flights beyond the specified routes.
Advanced Purchase Requirement

Credits may be redeemed for flights between that advance purchase date and up to 90 days in the future. The outbound leg of a roundtrip flight must begin within 90 days of booking.
Reservations
Booking
Subscribers redeem credits and create reservations by using alaskaair.com once signing in. After logging into their account and searching for the desired roundtrip flights, the subscriber selects their desired flights, agrees to pay any associated fares, taxes, and fees for those flights, and enters billing information. Upon successful payment a reservation is created.
All advance purchase (AP) rules of the selected subscription plan apply. In the case of misuse of subscription, Alaska Airlines reserves the right to cancel reservations made by the offending subscription.
Passenger
The reservation is created for the passenger specified at initial program sign-up. No name changes or transfers are allowed.
Changes
Guest-initiated changes to reservations are permitted according to the terms laid out in this document. Changes require repricing of the entire itinerary through a cancel and rebook process. Changes to flights with the same routings and with the same classes of service available are allowed so long as the associated Flight Pass credit is within its valid expiration date at the date of requested flight change. If the original flight was purchased using a credit which has since expired, no changes can be made to the reservation - cancellation terms laid out in this document instead apply. The new flights must be within 90 days of the booking date/credit redemption date and must also meet the AP requirements of the subscription. Partially used tickets cannot be changed or modified. EWallet credits are separate from the Flight Pass program and cannot be used to pay monthly Flight Pass subscription fees but may be used on applicable popular flight surcharges.
Cancellations
Guest-initiated cancellation of Flight Pass reservations are permitted according to the terms in this document. Reservations may be cancelled online at www.AlaskaAir.com or by calling Alaska Airlines.
If the date of the cancel request occurs within the validity period of the credit that was redeemed to create the booking, the reservation may be cancelled and the Flight Pass credit may be redeposited into the subscriber’s account. The redeposited credit will have the same terms and expiration as the original credit. The redeposit process may take up to 72 hours to complete. The ticket value of the cancelled reservation will be returned to the guest as an eWallet credit.
