OK, so I made a last minute reservation. $656 one way to San Francisco. Steep. I check how much it would be in mileage.
12,500 miles. And $2.50 security fee. OK, that's fine. I book it. But look in the red circle. Alaska is kind enough to show me some alternative pay options.
$2.50 and 12,500 miles? I wonder if anyone ever takes that choice.

- $656 cash.
- If I want to use cash AND mileage I can go with:
$527 plus 7,500 miles or
$398 plus 15,000 miles
$2.50 and 12,500 miles? I wonder if anyone ever takes that choice.
