It&amp;#39;s unfortunate, because Alaska was the only airline where they didn&amp;#39;t treat you like a second class citizen even though you were sitting in coach. And, of course, the &amp;quot;MVP&amp;quot; and First Class customers don&amp;#39;t have to pay this fee-they can check TWO bags for free. Jesus, I hate flying.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I had found that form but the only way to get to it is to start here &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.alaskaair.com/as/www2/help/contacts/contact-info.asp"&gt;www.alaskaair.com/.../contact-info.asp&lt;/a&gt;, Choose &amp;#39;2&amp;#39; and then click the &amp;#39;Post flights comments&amp;#39;. Nowhere does it suggest that general comments should go in the same place. When you see the form asks you for flight details the only conclusion is that its for issues with flights. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe it should be more obvious..&lt;/p&gt;

Please note that you don&amp;#39;t need to fill in any flight information to submit an e-mail comment. Just scroll down to section 5 to submit a general comment:&lt;/p&gt;
