Alaska Kids Fly Free question

[csheard]

I went to Alaska's web-site this morning and they have some really great prices for the dates that we want to fly. But I wanted to compare those prices to the price I would get if we did the "kids fly free" offer. Does anyone know if the "kids fly free" requires you to pay a higher adult fare? Or are they based on the prices that I see on the web-site? Their vacation dept isn't open until Monday and I'm afraid these great fares on their web-site will be gone by then.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

I don't know if they charge a higher adult fare, but for us paying for everything ala carte is cheaper. By that I mean buying the tickets alone through Alaska, booking the Disneyland hotel directly through the Disneyland.com website and buying park hopper tickets through the ARES website.

Here is the breakdown - doing the Kids Fly Free through Alaska and getting the Disneyland Hotel (5 nights) and 5 days park hopper passes is $2838 (or it was last weekend when I priced it). Separately the airfare is $675 (just went up - boo!), DL hotel $1350 and park hopper passes $492 for a total of $2517. That's a $300 difference, making KFF not such a great deal.

Yes, they do up the price of the adult fair when you do the "kids fly free offer." I took my sister last year and the regular price flights for us werent too bad, but I was intrigued by the kids fly free offer, so I called Alaska Air. Well, when they came back to me with the price, the cost of my adult ticket had doubled! It cost more than if I just booked her a regular seat.

Needless to say, we didnt take the offer
