Alaska Airlines Military Discount
Free checked bags for active duty + waived pet/excess fees
Alaska Airlines waives checked-bag fees for active duty service members (and up to five bags on official orders), and reduces or waives certain excess-baggage and pet fees for military travelers. Bereavement and flexible-fare assistance is available by phone; verify current policy when booking.
How to redeem
- Book at alaskaair.com as usual; military baggage benefits are applied at the airport.
- Present your military ID or orders at check-in to waive checked-bag fees.
- For bereavement or emergency changes, call Alaska reservations and identify as military.
Tips
- Free checked bags on orders can save hundreds on a PCS move — keep your orders accessible.
- Enroll in Mileage Plan before flying so miles accrue on military travel.
