Checking the alternator is easy enough.I would have expected other issues if it was going bad.

It is not necessarily going bad. It could be that the battery is on its way out and the alternator has trouble keeping it up as well as powering things like the AC when the engine is at idle (where the alt is putting out about 30% of its capacity).
