Yesterday I booked two tickets on Alaska Airlines website. One roundtrip award ticket is flying Alaska Airlines to Vancouver BC in a couple of weeks on an $85 taxes only ticket. I also booked a one one-way revenue ticket from Monterey to Orlando, Florida in May for the annual U.S. Travel Association IPW conference. During both bookings on Alaska Airlines there was an offer to buy bonus miles.
