Are you eager to lose yourself far away from home? Maybe get swept up in the awe of Paris; absorb the history, food and beauty of Japan; head down under to Sydney to dive into jaw-dropping Australian beaches. Alaska Airlines can help get you there with the power of alaskaair.com and the rewards of the Mileage Plan program. From Austin to Auckland or Zihuatanejo to Zanzibar, alaskaair.com can now take you to more than 500 global destinations.

Alaska Airlines recently surveyed 1,000 flyers nationwide to understand the destinations on their bucket lists*. One thing is clear: International travel remains BIG.

Nearly 85% of U.S. travelers plan to cross the Atlantic or Pacific in the next three years to visit overseas hot spots. 

• Nearly half of the respondents say they’re most interested in visiting Europe if they take a trip outside the U.S. in the next year. The United Kingdom, France, Spain, Ireland, Germany and Greece register as top choices. 
• One in 10 of those surveyed say they’re most interested in heading to Oceania with Australia as their top choice followed by New Zealand and Fiji.  
• About the same number of travelers – one in 10 – say Asia captures their attention with Japan ranking as the preferred destination followed by South Korea and the Philippines.   

Alaska Airlines is building a world-class, direct booking platform with access to a robust portfolio of domestic and global partners. Your hassle-free journey starts at alaskaair.com where tickets for flights can be purchased for travel onboard premium global carriers that include Air Tahiti Nui; Finnair; Iberia; Japan Airlines; Qantas; Qatar Airways; STARLUX Airlines, and more. You can buy tickets with the airline's partners in all classes of service (maybe treat yourself to business class?). 

Alaskaair.com offers a unique booking proposition with key benefits when purchasing tickets directly, including more rewards, more ease and more care: 

Fly a mile, earn a mile with Alaska Airlines and their partners:

Alaska Airlines' Mileage Plan members earn 100% of the miles they fly on the airline's partners when booked at alaskaair.com.** For overseas roundtrips that cover thousands of miles, that’s thousands of Mileage Plan miles earned. Alaska Airlines is the only U.S. airline that offers this level of loyalty to their members. 

Earn valuable elite qualifying miles on Alaska Airlines' partners when booking partner flights on alaskaair.com:

Mileage Plan members earn at least 100% of the miles flown as elite qualifying miles (EQMs) that apply toward elite status with Alaska Airlines.** Alaska has a faster path to becoming an elite flyer than other U.S. airlines. And status with Alaska Airlines equals matching tier status within the oneworld alliance and all the benefits that come with it. 

All flights purchased on alaskaair.com with the airline's credit card earn triple miles:

The Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® credit card offers triple miles on all ticket purchases at alaskaair.com including overseas flights on the airline's partners. Every dollar spent is three miles earned when using Alaska Airlines' credit card to purchase all flights on the company's site. 

Here’s a scenario:

You and three of your family members travel from San Francisco to Tokyo on Alaska Airlines' fellow oneworld member Japan Airlines.

You buy roundtrip tickets for $2,000 each on alaskaair.com using your Alaska credit card.

4 tickets x $2,000 apiece x 3 miles per dollar spent = 24,000 total Mileage Plan miles earned.

Plus, if miles flown on the Japan Airlines flight are credited to your Alaska account, those are additional miles earned – one mile for every mile flown.

That’s more than 10,000 miles for each person roundtrip!

No change fees. Ever:

There are no change or cancellation fees when booking with Alaska Airlines. And that includes partner flights.** 

Buying tickets with Alaska Airlines partners on alaskaair.com is simple:

Many of Alaska Airlines guests know their website, and most already have a Mileage Plan account with their profile information and payment details stored. That information is ready to use when purchasing overseas travel with Alaska Airlines' global partners. Plus, you can see all your trips in one place. And don’t forget about the airline's award-winning guest service and care Alaska Airlines is known for.  

With oneworld and Alaska Airlines' additional airline partners, guests can earn and redeem miles all over the world through the highly acclaimed Mileage Plan program.

Alaska Airlines is rolling out new global award redemptions in March 2024.

Alaska Airlines will offer award redemptions starting as low as 4,500 miles one-way. Alaska Airlines is also expanding award availability so Alaska Airlines' members can find more award space when they want to travel.
