Alaska $31 Fares

As I was tipped off by somebody who works at Alaska, I noticed they had great $31 one way fares to SFO and LAX from SEA on 10.30 and 10.31. Needless to say, I booked two seats to SFO for myself and a friend and since it was within the 72 hour MVP Gold upgrade window I got two upgrades at purchase for myself and my companion. I added an e-cert and paid $40 in taxes. $20 for a first class ticket with less than 72 hours purchase? I am very impressed. These lows fares made me buy some tickets. If planes are empty the airlines might as well fill them. I mean, who doesn't want to hang out in San Francisco on Halloween and still be home in time for parties?

Unfortunately I upset Luckycoins because he thinks I could have done LAX for more EQMS/RDMS but not everyone flies with a companion who wants to milage run (there is no doubt that it is easier to get into the city from SFO than LAX).
