The Guide to Alaska Partner Airlines

Alaska Airlines might not be one of the "Big Four" U.S. airlines, but its extensive list of partners and its membership in the Oneworld alliance gives it prowess in terms of network reach, especially for people who travel on points and miles. In total, Alaska is partnered with more than 30 airlines, so you can use its points to book flights on many carriers to travel all over the world.

In addition to redeeming points, the benefits of these partnerships allow customers to earn points and get elite status benefits when flying with these other airlines.

Here's what you need to know about Alaska Airlines' partners.

Who are Alaska’s airline partners?

How to use Atmos points on partner airlines

You can use points from Atmos Rewards — Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines' joint loyalty program — to book travel on partner airlines, and searching for availability is relatively straightforward. Use the flight search tool on the website or app and select the "Use points" box.

Here’s an example one-way flight search from New York to London.

You’ll see the available partner routes for the destination selected. Two options include a flight on British Airways and another on American Airlines, both Oneworld partners.

Some partners, such as British Airways, charge massive fuel surcharges. This is evident when comparing the American Airlines award ticket with the British Airways one. Flying economy on American Airlines will cost 22,500 Atmos points + $19 in taxes and fees, while the British Airways award will set you back 22,500 Atmos points + $336 in taxes and fees.

NerdWallet values Alaska points at 1.4 cents each. So consider the value you're getting when redeeming your points. Generally, you’ll get the most bang for your buck when using your points for premium cabin redemptions or when minimizing the taxes and fees on a given award.

Alaska Airlines stopover rules

Most Alaska partners allow free stopovers on award itineraries, which means you can stop for several days (or weeks) at an airline's hub on your way to your final destination. This is a great way to extend the value of your points, especially when booking premium cabin awards.

To book stopovers, use the "Multi-city" search tool.

Make sure the stopover is in an Alaska partner's hub (in this case, Japan Airlines’ hub in Tokyo) or the search will fail.

Alaska Airlines partner award chart

Alaska used to publish award charts for airline partners on its website, but that's no longer the case. Instead, you'll see a chart on Alaska’s website showing the starting prices for flying to a specific region.

North American award chart

International award chart to Europe, the Middle East and Africa

International award chart to Asia and the Pacific

Since there’s no way to know what an award will cost for the dates you’d like to fly, the best way to find out the true price of a given itinerary is to search and compare.

Alaska and Oneworld elites

Alaska Atmos Rewards elite members receive automatic reciprocal Oneworld elite status, which confers benefits such as bonus points and lounge access when flying with Oneworld partners.

Atmos Silver = Oneworld Ruby

• Preferred check-in.

• Preferred seating.

Atmos Gold = Oneworld Sapphire

• Preferred check-in.

• Preferred seating.

• Business class lounge access.

• Baggage allowance.

Atmos Platinum and Atmos Titanium = Oneworld Emerald

• Preferred check-in.

• Preferred seating.

• First class lounge access.

• Baggage allowance.

All of these policies are subject to the specific rules of each Oneworld partner airline. Don’t be surprised if you encounter some hiccups when flying with partners. And if you’d like to earn Alaska points when flying with a partner, make sure to include your Atmos Rewards number on partner itineraries, not your reward account associated with that airline.

How to earn Alaska points with airline partners

Credit your flight to your Atmos Rewards account

You can earn Atmos points with Alaska’s partner airlines by crediting the flight to your Atmos Rewards account. For example, if you book a flight on British Airways, you must enter your Alaska number in your itinerary to earn points.

Take advantage of bonus points in premium cabins

For travel through Dec. 31, 2026, eligible partner flights booked through Alaska’s website earn one base Atmos point per mile flown, plus a cabin bonus: 50% for premium economy or domestic first class, 150% for international business class and 250% for international first class.

Booking directly with the partner airline can mean earning fewer points. For example, an eligible international first class ticket credited to Atmos earns a 50% bonus when booked through the partner, compared with 250% when booked through Alaska. Including base points, that’s 1.5 points per mile flown versus 3.5 points.

Earn Atmos points with hotel, car rental and shopping partners

Alaska allows you to earn points in various other ways, including riding Lyft, hotel stays, car rentals, shopping partners and dining programs.
