Alaska Airline baggage perk for oenophiles

[Annie H.]

1. Wine as checked baggage: Mileage Plan™ members departing from Eugene/Springfield (EUG), Medford (MFR), Portland (PDX) or Redmond/Bend (RDM) Pasco (PSC), Santa Rosa (STS), Walla Walla (ALW) or Yakima (YKM) airports are allowed to check one properly packaged case of wine without charge for domestic itineraries Your Mileage Plan number must be in your reservation to qualify.

Advise the Customer Service Agent when you check in so the box can be properly labeled with FRAGILE stickers. Items packaged in cardboard boxes are covered in case of loss, but are checked at your own risk for damage
