Common questions
What are my rights when Alaska Airlines cancels my flight?
When Alaska Airlines cancels your flight, you are entitled to a full cash refund to your original payment method — even for non-refundable tickets. This is federal law (14 CFR Part 260). Alaska Airlines must also rebook you on the next available flight at no extra cost.
Does Alaska Airlines provide hotel and meals for delays?
For controllable delays (not weather), Alaska Airlines pledges meal vouchers, hotel accommodations for overnight delays, and ground transportation. These are voluntary commitments, not federal law. The October 2026 DOT rule expanded what airlines can classify as "uncontrollable."
How do I contact Alaska Airlines about a disrupted flight?
Call Alaska Airlines at 1-800-252-7522. For complaints, email customer.care@alaskaair.com or DM @AlaskaAir on Twitter/X. For refunds, go to https://www.alaskaair.com/refund.
How long does a Alaska Airlines refund take?
By federal law, Alaska Airlines must process refunds within 7 business days for credit card purchases and 20 calendar days for cash or check payments. If they don't, file a DOT complaint.
