Why does this charge appear?

Alaska Airlines uses the abbreviated billing descriptor "AS\*" on bank statements because AS is the airline's official IATA (International Air Transport Association) two-letter carrier code, which the airline incorporates into its payment processing system to identify transactions. When you purchase a ticket, upgrade, or add-on service through Alaska Airlines' booking platform, the charge is processed under this carrier code format rather than the full company name due to character limitations imposed by payment networks like Visa and Mastercard. If you see "AS\*" followed by additional details such as a confirmation number or service type on your statement, it is a legitimate charge from Alaska Airlines.
