Alaska Airlines
Our partnership with Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines is a leading carrier on the U.S. West Coast and serves more than 120 destinations across North and Central America. When you fly on Alaska Airlines, you can earn and redeem AAdvantage® miles, plus, enjoy the benefits of your AAdvantage® status.
Earn miles
You can earn AAdvantage® miles when you fly on Alaska Airlines marketed and operated flights and Alaska Airlines codeshare flights operated by Horizon Air or other oneworld® carriers.
Here's how:
- Buy a published fare ticket in an eligible* booking code
- Fly an eligible route
The number of miles you earn depends on the flight distance and the fare class of your ticket.
When you earn eligible AAdvantage® miles for travel on Alaska Airlines, you’ll also earn Loyalty Points that count toward qualifying for AAdvantage® status.
