Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge listed as ALASKA AIR* MAIN CABIN on your billing statement comes from Alaska Air Group, Inc., the parent company of Alaska Airlines. This specific entry represents an Alaska Airlines Premium Class / Seat Upgrade or a paid seat assignment rather than your primary flight ticket. You might see statement variations like ALASKA AIRLINES SEAT, ASA*PREMIUM CLASS, or ALASKA AIR 027 depending on how your bank records airline transactions.
Unreviewed registry note: Alaska Airlines separates base airfare from ancillary travel purchases on your statement. If you purchased a flight and later chose a preferred seat or upgraded to Premium Class for extra legroom, the airline bills that upgrade as an independent transaction. Prices for seat upgrades typically range from $15 on short regional hops to $100 or more on cross-country routes. Because the airline issues a separate electronic document for seat assignments, the fee shows up as its own line item with its own 13-digit receipt number beginning with the 027 airline code.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge often surprises travelers who assume their initial booking covered all flight expenses. You will see this fee if you selected Premium Class seats during online check-in, or if a family member on your booking selected preferred seats. Inflight purchases for Wi-Fi access or premium beverages can also settle under related Alaska Airlines merchant codes.
Common reasons for this charge
- Unreviewed registry note: You upgraded to Premium Class extra legroom seating while booking or checking in on alaskaair.com.
- Unreviewed registry note: You selected a preferred seat assignment on an existing Alaska Airlines reservation.
- Unreviewed registry note: A travel companion upgraded seat accommodations on a multi-passenger booking.
