As we come into the busy summer travel season, Alaska Airlines will upgrade one or two lucky <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/alaska-atmos-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Mileage Plan<\/a> members per day, moving them into Premium Class.<\/p>\n<p>Premium Class seats are those between the main cabin and First Class, offering four extra inches of legroom (the most legroom for any U.S. legacy airline). Premium Class also comes with leather seats, complimentary beer, wine, or cocktails for passengers over 21 on most flights over 350 miles, and priority boarding.<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"749\/261\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-167661 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Alaska-Airlines-Upgrades-Unlocked-Promotion-1024x357.jpg\" alt=\"Alaska Airlines Upgrades Unlocked Promotion\" width=\"749\" height=\"261\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Alaska-Airlines-Upgrades-Unlocked-Promotion-1024x357.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Alaska-Airlines-Upgrades-Unlocked-Promotion-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Alaska-Airlines-Upgrades-Unlocked-Promotion-768x268.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Alaska-Airlines-Upgrades-Unlocked-Promotion.jpg 1218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each day from <strong>June 1 to September 2, 2024<\/strong>, Alaska Airlines will upgrade one passenger to Premium Class.
