Alison Sider
Reporter, The Wall Street Journal
Alison Sider writes about airlines and air travel from The Wall Street Journal’s Chicago bureau. She has chronicled the major U.S. airlines since 2018, most recently focusing on how they've navigated major crises such as the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX and the global coronavirus pandemic.
Her stories frequently explore the travel experience, from occasional fliers to seasoned road warriors, and she has delved into the world of aviation culture with stories on planespotting, first class amenities, and Biscoff cookies.
She joined the Wall Street Journal's Houston bureau in 2012 to write about the U.S. energy industry, and later covered oil markets in New York.
Previously, she worked at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, Ark., covering business and reporting from the state Capitol.
Alison has an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin and a BA in economics from the University of Chicago. She can be reached at alison.sider@wsj.com, on Twitter at @alyrose and on LinkedIn.
