Section II - Tickets

Rule 100AS - Tickets - General

  1. No person shall be entitled to transportation except upon presentation of a valid ticket. Such ticket shall entitle the passenger to transportation only between points of origin and destination and via the routing designated thereon.
  2. Flight coupons will be honored only in the order in which they are issued, and only if all unused flight coupons and passenger coupons are presented together.
  3. A ticket which has not been validated, or which has been altered, mutilated or improperly issued, shall not be valid.
  4. The purchaser of the ticket is considered to be the owner of the ticket. If the purchaser cannot be determined, the traveler whose name is on the ticket is assumed to be the purchaser.
  5. Tickets are not transferable but AS is not liable to the owner of a ticket for honoring or refunding such ticket when presented by another person.
  6. Tickets may be purchased on credit, installment, or time payment plans lawfully in effect, subject always to AS's approval of credit.
  7. In addition to the otherwise applicable fare, a USD15.00/CAD15.00 per ticket Service Fee will be collected for all tickets purchased through Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air Reservations or at our airport locations. Tickets are available for purchase without a Service Fee at alaskaair.com.
  8. Prohibited Practices

    1. Use of coupons from two or more tickets issued at roundtrip fares for the purpose of circumventing applicable tariff rules is not permitted. AS and travel agents are prohibited from issuing tickets commonly referred as "Back to Back Ticketing" under such circumstance when there is obvious intent to abuse and/or misuse restricted round trip fares.
    2. The purchase and use of round trip tickets for the purpose of one-way travel only, known as "Throwaway Ticketing," is prohibited by AS.
    3. Fares apply for travel only between the points for which they are published. Tickets may not be purchased and used at fare(s) from an initial departure point on the ticket which is before the passenger's actual point of origin of travel or to a more distant point(s) than the passenger's actual destination being traveled, even when the purchase and use of such tickets would produce a lower fare. This practice is known as "Hidden Cities Ticketing" or "Beyond Point Ticketing" and is prohibited by AS. NOTE: For this instance, co-terminals are considered to be the same point.
    4. Reissuing a Non-Refundable ticket and applying the value of the existing ticket towards the creation of two or more new tickets is prohibited by AS. A Non-Refundable ticket may only be reissued on a one-for-one basis. Any residual value to the existing ticket is forfeited by the passenger.
  9. (Not valid to/from Canada) In the event a ticket becomes the subject of a credit card chargeback based upon impropriety, an NSF check, a fraud or other form of compromised payment, the ticketed passenger is jointly and severally liable for the ticket costs plus an administrative fee.

    A ticketed passenger assumes all risk of loss for any ticket not purchased from AS or an AS authorized travel agent. Failure to pay ticketing costs and fees within sixty days of notification may result in initiation of legal action or collection services. The ticketed passenger shall be jointly and severally liable for al attorney or collection fees.
