A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to NYC cost $175, included one carry-on bag, and required a gate assignment for seating due to no prior reservation. The traveler switched to an alternate flight closer to their destination. Later, an Alaskan Airlines flight from Seattle to NYC cost $240, allowed miles accrual but required checking a carry-on due to lack of overhead bin space. Both airlines operated Boeing 737-900 models, providing a similar experience regarding cabin cleanliness and bathroom conditions.
Delta's basic economy ticket cost $175 and included one carry-on bag, but did not accrue miles or allow for seat reservation. A switch to an emptier flight was made at the gate.
Alaska Airlines' saver fare was $240 for a 5 ½-hour flight from Seattle to NYC, allowing the earning of miles, though fewer than standard economy. The flight was full and required checking carry-on luggage.
