Open the reservations chatbox to discuss your flight. Visit the Help Center page on Alaska Airlines’ website and scroll down to the Reservations heading.

- Make sure you fill in “Yes” on the top of the page where it asks whether or not you want a response. Otherwise the company won’t get back to you.
- It might take some time to get a response this way, so it’s not a good choice if you have an immediate customer service issue.
4
Write a letter to their corporate office to make a stronger statement. If you prefer, you can write Alaska Airlines a letter and send it in the mail to their corporate office. Generally, a letter makes a stronger impact than a text or chat message, and this could be especially helpful if you want to lodge a complaint.^{[10]

- The mailing address is:
  Alaska Airlines
  P.O. Box 68900
  Seattle, WA 98168
- It’ll take a while for the company to respond to your letter, if they respond at all, so calling is a better option if you have an immediate problem.
