If you don’t find yourself near a beach often, I’ll make it simpler: The bigger the wave, the bigger the discount.Sign up for the free daily TPG newsletter for more travel tips!The sale is valid from Nov. 4 to 8, for travel through Nov. 20. Alaska will discount fares based on the following max swell heights tracked by Surfline:≤10 foot swells: 10% off11-15 foot swells: 15% off16-20 foot swells: 20% off21+ foot swells: 30% offThe discount will change daily at approximately noon and 5 p.m. PST as Alaska gets the latest forecast information from Surfline.Note that some of the tickets are “Saver Fares” or Alaska’s basic economy. With a Saver Fare, no changes (including same-day changes) and no standing by for earlier or later flights are allowed — regardless of your status level. Elites won’t be eligible for complimentary upgrades, but they’ll still get early boarding and two free checked bags. Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® credit card holders also get one checked bag for free. It appears the best deals originate from the West Coast.To book, enter your departure city and your destination.
