Alaska Airlines Flight before our Cruise, luggage issues, and the Anchor...

Our wonderful Alaskan Cruise started with a flight to Anchorage.  We swapped planes in Chicago, getting on an Alaska Airplanes vehicle.  

Well, as we were in the air, the flight attendants announced that they had to take some of our luggage off due to weight and wind issues.

When we got to the airport, we waited, and our 2 bags did not come through.  We had to wait in a line for about an hour to let some of the staff know where we would be this evening.

It actually ended up not being too big of a deal, though an hour of vacation time is an hour of vacation time.

They did hook us up with some points or miles...  which I may or may not be able to use again.  I don't think they were charging for drinks on the flight either.

Honestly, I don't think anyone was overly ticked off though.  The flight had the kindest crew I have ever experienced.  They joked a bit about the situation.  They didnt charge for drinks and they were sugary sweet.  This went a long way.
