Sure, the economy stinks at the moment. Businesses are failing, banks have stopped lending to at risk clients, credit companies are in crisis mode, etc. People still need to live, right?
Living for me includes traveling. I’ve really had a travel bug since moving to Portland as working two jobs has limited my free time. There are places in the world that need to be experienced and I wish I had time for them all.
While this travel itch has needed a scratch, I read about Alaska Airlines moving up in a 2008 quality survey. I haven’t heard positive news in the airline industry in a while, so congrats!
Alaska Airlines moved up to fifth place from seventh in a national survey of U.S. airline quality. The areas they improved are on-time performance, customer complaints, mishandled baggage rate, and passenger bumpings.
Alaska Airlines is committed to caring for its customers, its communities, the environment, and their team. For over 75 years, Alaska Airlines keeps its focus on corporate values like integrity, professionalism, caring, resourcefulness and spirit.
Improvement is always key at a time of hardship. Guess I’ll be looking at flights through them in the future. Roundtrip vacation to Daytona Beach, Fl. in June is only 600 dollars. Let’s go!
