MRs SLF and I were heading back to Seattle from San Francisco. On handing over the hold lugaage the Alaskan Air rep. asked if we had a list of items including matches in the hold luggage. I replied yes, a small book of matches from the Hayes Street Grill (a reminder of our meal there). We were told that matches were not allowed in the hold luggae and had to be in our carry on!!
Go figure
