Most "complimentary" Alaska Airlines in-flight magazine stay on the planes for the next passenger and are read multiple times each day/week/month. The copies taken off the plane by passengers (or are too loved through usage) are replaced. The magazine prints 95,000 copies each month to deliver all the seats and cover replacement copies. Alaska Beyond publications are the single magazine on the airline "newsstand" (seatback) and average flight time for Alaska is approaching three hours. This "green" publishing model where passengers share issues multiple times allows keeping rates low.
