We are really sorry that Alaska Airlines must blackout heavy travel days. We are going ahead and sharing the discount code, hoping it will help some of our attendees.

 

To access the discount, go to alaskaair.com and select "Use discount or companion fare code" under the booking tab. Enter the code ECME435. The discount will be applied to any flights meeting the contract parameters. By clicking the "?" next to the discount code box after entering the code, you may view a description of the rules. You may also use the code by calling Alaska Airlines at 1-800-445-4435; however, a $15.00 fee may apply.
