Alaska Airlines Complaint - Expensive For Rural Alaska - Lack Of Web Specials And Affordable Service
Lack Of Web Specials And Affordable Service - Complaint
NOME, ALASKA -- I would like to know how the web specials are decided and who decides them. It's not uncommon to see web specials from Bethel to Anchorage and a lot less likely to see web specials from Nome to Anchorage. What's with that?
The regular fares from Anchorage to anywhere in Alaska are exorbitant and prohibitive. If it cost just a little less that many of us would be flying a lot more and would be much happier when we do fly.

Google "Supply and Demand". Routes that have lots of competition and lots of people wanting to fly them are cheaper than routes with few passengers and no competition. There is a reason that Alaska Airlines is the only airline that serves the majority of Alaska. If there were more passengers to be had and more money to be made, you would also have intra-state flights on Delta, American, Continental, etc...

Careful how loud you complain as Alaska gets most of the governments EAS (Essential Air Service) grant money. In many AK communities we (taxpayers) are shelling out $>100 in subsidy per passenger per ticket.

This is a complaint coming from someone who gets an annual $1500 oil revenue check for being a resident of Alaska? In the state where Alaska Airlines charges NO baggage fees?
