Alaska Airlines Partners
Partner Alaska AirlinesHeadquartered in Seattle, Alaska Airlines is an airline that operates services within North America - the United States, Mexico, Canada and selected major cities such as Costa Rica. Alaska''s longest departures are those that can be made with a Boeing 737 as they have only that (and now Virgin's Airbus fleet).
Alaska Airlines' beautiness is their amazing program of award mileage, which provides unbelievable conversions for most of their partners. As Alaska Airlines works with many airlines, you can collect and spend frequent flyer kilometers with all your partners (with a few minor differences - for example, you can only collect frequent flyer kilometers on American Airlines if you have purchased a code-share ticket with an Alaska number).
Your newer partners such as Singapore Airlines are not yet available for reward flight, but you will already accumulate mileage on these routes. Currently Alaska is a partner of: In order to find a premium room on these airlines, just use the Alaska website. Cathay Pacific and LATAM Airlines are the only two exemptions - for these use the British Airways Executive Club website to review the reward area.
Remember that Alaska doesn't always see the same awards room that British Airways shows (Cathay issues more awards seating to one-world partners). Only one partner airline + Alaska is allowed on one reward fare. They can' merge partners. You can, for example, take Seattle - Los Angeles on Alaska and Los Angeles - Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific, but you can't take Seattle - Los Angeles with American Airlines and later link it to Cathay Pacific.
There is only one partner airline permitted. Virgin America is still a partner airline and cannot be blended. The Alaska Airlines is spacious, as you can make a stop on a reward pass, even on a one-way route. Vancouver to Hong Kong to Singapore on the Cathay Pacific and stop in Hong Kong as long as you like.
Cancellation or modification of an award is US$125, and if you are out of the country 60 business days prior to your flight, you can choose to cancele or modify your gift free of charge. The Alaska Airlines mileage is very simple to earn. Because of Alaska's unparalleled partnership and grandiose premium ticketing routeing policies, Alaska mileage is highly rated.
There are a number of ways to collect Alaska Airlines miles: And the fastest way to collect mileage is to either buy it, buy it (or move it from another Alaska account). If you have a few extra day, the second fastest way is to get SPG points to Alaska. Usually, air travel from Alaska to Alaska is booked to your bank balance a few business day after the trip.
Mileage from partner airlines can take up to 14 business day to get to the airport. The Alaska Airlines mileage is very precious. The possibility to travel Cathay Pacific First Class with a stop in Hong Kong for only 70 km one way is a big one. Cathay Pacific can also be flown via Hong Kong to Africa in First Class for the same fare... this is astonishing.
Please be aware that sometimes Alaska mileage cannot be used on all partner airline services. A further example is that you cannot take British Airways Europe to Asia - only Cathay Pacific. Please ask your question about collecting or redemption Alaska mileage below!
