alaska airlines alliance partners

although Alaska Airlines does not belong to any alliance(OneWorld, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance),it has partnership with many airlines,include AA, Delta,Cathay Pacific, British Airways, Air France, aeromexico,air pacific,emirates,klm,penair,qantas, even Iceland air.

 This actually makes their Mileage Plan program pretty useful, you can credit both AA and Delta miles to Alaska’s Mileage Plan, even though the two airlines belong to different alliances. There’s no other program that affords quite as much flexibility. Because of the variety of partnerships they have, their award chart is a bit more complicated than most. Instead of having a single award chart that’s region based, they have a specific award chart for each of their partner airlines broken down by region.

 as for reward redemption,AS doesn't allow true multi-carrier awards like members of an actual alliance do, but some may find the ability to redeem CX F one way and EK F on the return (a combination no other carrier can do) to be a pretty useful benefit. you only need 25000 mile for coach and 45000 miles for business class roundtrip reward tickets on Cathay pacific flights within Asia. Even more exciting is, transfer 20000 SPG points to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan,you can get 25000 miles! And no fuel surcharge!
