Alaska used to have a relatively unknown exception for flights taken within something like 12 or 24 hours of an international arrival. I don’t know if they still do, but Alaska’s customer service is usually good so if you are connecting from, say, a BA transatlantic flight, it could be worth asking them about this.
Also I don’t think you mentioned whether you have BA or OneWorld status, but even BA Bronze should give you 1 or 2 free bags on Alaska.
