Alaska Airlines does not offer a first responder discount, and its military benefit is a meal discount, not a fare discount.
Alaska Airlines is a major US carrier operating primarily on the West Coast and across North America.
What We Found
Alaska Airlines’ own Salute to Service page describes benefits for current service members and their accompanying spouse and dependent children: a 15% discount on in-flight food purchases, shown to a flight attendant via military ID. Nothing on the page names first responders, and no separate fare discount exists for either group.
Q&A
Q: Is the military benefit a fare discount?

A: No, Alaska’s own page describes it as covering service members and their accompanying spouse and dependent children only.
Q: Is there a cashback alternative?
A: Fluz lists Alaska Airlines at 1.5%, the generic rate available at most retailers.

Checked Alaska Airlines’ own Salute to Service page directly, which names the food discount and its military-only eligibility explicitly, nothing about first responders or fares.
