Alaska Airlines recently started a three-year, $2.5 billion project to improve the airport experience at its hubs and focus cities like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The airline has removed kiosks at nine airports so far, including Portland International in Oregon. It is telling customers to use Alaska's app to download boarding passes or print them at home.
