Your ugly holiday sweater could get you early boarding on Alaska Airlines

Hey, you, in the ugly sweater: Get to the front of the line!

Alaska Airlines plans to celebrate National Ugly Holiday Sweater Day on Dec. 15 by allowing early boarding at all 115 cities where they operate. That includes airports in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Fresno and Sacramento.

“Travel during the holidays can be stressful for guests, especially those who do not travel often. This fun promotion not only allows guests to board early on that day, but gives people another opportunity to dust off that ugly holiday sweater hanging in the back of their closet,” Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Natalie Bowman wrote in a statement.

The celebration includes all Alaska Airlines, Virgin America and Horizon Air flights.

“All guests are invited to join in the merriment of the holiday season and share their memories on Twitter by tagging their photos and videos using the hashtags: #UglySweaterDay and #MostWestCoast,” the airline statement read.
