Folks in Seattle are pretty darn excited that there’s now a professional hockey team in town.
And so is Alaska Airlines, the hometown airline that’s also the official airline of the Kraken.
To celebrate the ice hockey season, Alaska Airlines is offering priority boarding out of Seattle, Everett, or Palm Springs to anyone wearing a Seattle Kraken or Coachella Valley Firebird jersey. (The Firebirds are a new professional ice hockey expansion team of the Seattle Kraken.)
That means anyone sporting a Kraken or Firebirds hockey jersey will be able to board following group B.
The offer stands for passengers Kraken and Firebirds gear-wearing fans on all Alaska Airines flights departing from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Paine Field (PAE), and Palm Springs International Airport (PSP).
Don’t have the gear just yet? We suspect you’ll find shops at these airports selling the gear. Let us know what you find.

Great to hear Seattle is warming up to hockey. One minor note- the Firebirds are not an expansion team of the Kraken. They are the Kraken’s top farm team in the American Hockey League (AHL). The AHL is one level down from the NHL.
