For example, if you wanted to fly to Paris, you would have to fly Alaska to the gateway city, and then Air France and only Air France to get to Paris, and back.\u00a0 Well, now you can fly Delta, or Alaska, and then Air France, or British Airways, if you like, and come back on Air France, Delta, or American.\u00a0 This makes it easier to find availability, and definitely makes things easier.\u00a0 Booking flights to Asia will be easier for sure.\u00a0 You can fly Korean Air and connect with a Cathay Pacific flight out of ICN, or Cathay to &#8230;well&#8230;.you get the point.\u00a0 That means Alaska miles are now even more valuable, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alaskaair.com\/content\/mileage-plan\/partners\/partner-overview.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">redemption char<\/a>t is still one of the best out there in terms of miles. A premium class cabin on Cathay Pacific to Asia will cost you 100,000 miles for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cathaypacific.com\/cpa\/en_INTL\/whatonboard\/newbusinessclass\" target=\"_blank\">business class<\/a>, and 140,000 miles for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cathaypacific.com\/cpa\/en_INTL\/whatonboard\/newfirstclass\" target=\"_blank\">First class<\/a>. Premium Coach will cost you a mere 70,000 miles.\u00a0 You can also use your Alaska miles for one-way segments flying American Airlines, and Delta Airlines too.\u00a0 There are many possibilities for redemption now.\u00a0 Thank you Alaska Airlines for doing this!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/gXGeirU.png\" width=\"570\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is actually big news in the world of airline miles.\u00a0 Alaska Airlines, which has one of the best mileage plan programs out there, is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":1084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
