Conclusion

Delta Air Lines already extended everyone’s tier by an additional year. It seems that Alaska will only for those whose account address is outside of the United States.

Business travel is still significantly down, and likely many won’t qualify this year. So let’s see what kind of fast track Alaska puts forward for the first four months of 2022.
