Our services and fees at a glance

Air travel involves more than just getting a seat on the plane. We've created these charts to help you determine which services you may need or want during your travels. The services and fees outlined below are offered on flights operated by Alaska Airlines.

Fees for checked baggage, pet travel, paid upgrades, and same day confirmed changes can be paid during online check-in or at any of our airport ticket counters. In addition, unaccompanied minor service fees can only be paid in-person during check in at any Alaska Airlines airport service desk.

Note: Alaska Airlines may market a flight using our flight number that is actually operated by another carrier. If you are on one of these codeshare flights, their fees may differ. Additionally, anytime your travel includes multiple airlines, different or additional fees may apply.

Please visit the operating carrier's website for a list of their baggage and service fees.
