Canonical event record

What happened

Alaska Airlines announced a MAX 10 cabin design with seatback screens in Aurora Suites and Premium Reserve, while Premium Class and Main Cabin passengers use personal devices.

Why it matters: The decision supports Alaska’s premium-cabin investment but creates a differentiated onboard experience that may weaken its effort to command a revenue premium.
