Feb 24th, 2010 at 11:30AM: This morning, Alaska Airlines became the latest of the major carriers to sign on with Aircell for their Gogo Inflight Wi-Fi service. Previously, Alaska had been testing the satellite based inflight Internet systems from Row44, but because of the speed at which the Aircell system can be installed, Gogo emerged as the system of choice.
As of right now, the Aircell network only covers the lower ...Two years in jail for pointing a laser at a plane
Nov 3rd, 2009 at 3:30PM: The "sport" of pointing a laser pointer at a plane is not new - many people have been arrested for the stupid stunt.

Alaska Airlines understands our frustration, and is introducing a "Baggage Service Guarantee" which will go into effect on July ...Extra seat charges: big bias or svelte snobbery?
Apr 28th, 2009 at 8:00AM: As airlines are scrambling for any shred of extra revenue they can find, some policies are getting more attention than others. The so-called "fat passenger policies," which govern the accommodation of passengers who require more than one seat, have attracted the ire of the NAAFA. Never heard of it? It's a new one on me, too: the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. On the other hand, ...Alaska Airlines made fun of paid airplane bathrooms long before we did
Mar 3rd, 2009 at 3:30PM: OK, so the whole Ryanair paid bathroom thing was probably just a hoax by the Ryanair CEO, or another of his cheeky ways to create some free publicity for his low cost airline. But it turns out that we here at Gadling were not the first to make fun of the concept of a paid airplane bathroom - Alaska Airlines beat us to that way back in 1987 with this hilarious vintage commerical. And is it just ...
