Snag significant savings redeeming miles to
aspirational international travel destinations; we're making
it easier to book redemptions and buy tickets with our partners on
alaskaair.com
SEATTLE, April 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eager to get even more bang
with your Mileage Plan miles? Alaska Airlines has just the ticket
with Global Getaways. Starting today, we're offering savings of up
to 50% on award redemptions to select international destinations
with us and our global partners. Mileage Plan members can redeem
miles throughout April at alaskaair.com for reduced award travel
from September through November to an amazing collection of
locations.
Four times a year we'll mix it up and have a new list of
incredible places to visit while using fewer miles to get there.
The theme as we kick off Global Getaways: Exotic, sunny beach
escapes. These one-way redemptions can be enjoyed later this fall
in economy and premium economy cabins with our various partner
airlines:
- Tahiti (French
Polynesia): now starting at 20,000 miles instead of
30,000
- Nadi (Fiji): now
starting at 20,000 miles instead of 37,500
- Nassau (Bahamas): now starting at 15,000
miles instead of 17,500
- Zanzibar (Tanzania): now starting at 30,000
miles instead of 42,500
- Malé (Maldives): now
starting at 30,000 miles instead of 42,500
- Bali/Denpasar (Indonesia): now starting at 30,000 miles
instead of 42,500
"That once-in-a-lifetime trip is even closer with our quarterly
Global Getaways promotion for discounted award travel to fabulous,
far-flung locales," said Brett
Catlin, vice president of loyalty, alliances and sales at
Alaska Airlines. "We're continuing to invest in making Mileage Plan
the most rewarding loyalty program with the industry's most
valuable currency."
In March, we began rolling out our new award charts to provide
improved simplicity, value, and availability for our guests who are
looking to use their Mileage Plan miles for travel on our partners.
The streamlined charts give a better idea of how many miles are
needed to fly to and within regions of the world:
- Spend fewer miles: Partner award travel now starts as
low as 4,500 miles one-way for short trips, down from 7,500 miles.
More than 60% of nonstop economy and business class redemptions
start at a lower price.
- More choice: We've unlocked even more award flight
availability, including additional options when connecting from an
Alaska flight to a partner
flight.
- Move up a cabin: Premium economy seating with our
partners now starts at just 30% more than an economy ticket.
- Explore more: Get two destinations for the price of one
by adding an international stopover to most itineraries at no
additional cost.
We're also making it easier for our guests to buy tickets with
our domestic and global partners directly at alaskaair.com.
Thousands of flights can be purchased to more than 500
destinations across 24 oneworld and additional global
partner airlines that include Air Tahiti Nui; Finnair; Iberia;
Japan Airlines; Qantas; Qatar Airways; STARLUX Airlines and more.
Tickets with our partners are available in all classes of service
on our website.
There are key benefits when purchasing tickets with our partner
airlines directly at alaskaair.com: When you fly a mile, you earn a
mile with our partners and us*; you earn at least 100% of the miles
flown as elite qualifying miles when flying with our partners and
us* (which paves a quicker path to Mileage Plan MVP elite status);
and all flights purchased with the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature®
credit card at alaskaair.com earn three miles for every dollar
spent – and that means partner flights, too.
*Saver or basic economy tickets are excluded.
The Alaska Airlines credit card is issued and administered by
Bank of America. N.A. Visa and Visa Signature are registered
trademarks of Visa International Service Association and are used
by the issuer pursuant to license from Visa U.S.A., Inc.
