The airline is Alaska's major commercial carrier that serves Anchorage, the state's hub, as well as the less populated regions.

Tips include:

• Check in online. Passengers can check in online 24 hours before their flight.

• Understand carry-on limits and increased fees for bags being checked.

• Prepare for long lines at security checkpoints.

• Leave gifts unwrapped; any packages are subject to inspection.

• Plan for extra time in getting to the airport. Parking could be limited; using shuttles is encouraged.
