Reason 20: Alaska Airlines, baggage collection in 20 minutes

I do think this is a selling point, that air travellers are promised to be able to collect their baggage at carousel in 20 minutes after the airplane door opens.  And to date, in my two and half years of air travel total of 58 flights with Alaska Airlines, it has happened only once that I am not able to get my baggage within 20 minutes.

Here's the promise from Alaska Airlines:
====
If your bags are not at baggage claim within 20 minutes of your plane's arrival at the gate, we'll offer you a $25 discount code for use on a future Alaska Airlinesflight, or 2,500 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan™ bonus miles.
====

Why do I think this is impressive?  Well, I used to fly with Qantas, Cathay Pacific and Dragonair, and I have flown with several other airlines too, awaiting baggage at the carousel is not something fun at all.

Salut, Alaska Airlines!
