Anyone have any experience using Alaska ZEDs?

The Travelnet fare calculator says it takes 2-3 days for the email to show up that you can then take to the ticket counter. Is this pretty accurate? Is it ever faster? I'm looking for plan D through Z.

Is there a better way to check loads than using the View Seats link on their website?

While we're at it, anyone know how to check loads on Hawaiian? They use eZED so that would be preferred.

Thanks
