I had reached 10,000 elite qualifying miles on Alaska, and that meant I got a little bonus. We pushed back a couple minutes late but we were in the air quickly, passing through the dying days of “June Gloom” and into the bright morning sun. We had picked up a lot of stuff along the way on this trip, and we were out of room. It was a little confusing for a couple minutes as people got in the wrong line on either side of the door. The flight boarded up quickly, and we pushed back a couple minutes early.
