who are alaska airlines partners

Alaska Airlines partners with a mix of oneworld alliance members and several independent airlines, giving you broad options to earn and use its miles (now Atmos Rewards points).

Alaska and oneworld alliance

Alaska Airlines is a member of the oneworld alliance, so its core partners are the other oneworld carriers. These typically allow earning and redeeming on most published fares and open up global routes via big hubs.

Key oneworld partners of Alaska Airlines include:

  • American Airlines
  • British Airways
  • Cathay Pacific
  • Fiji Airways (oneworld connect partner)
  • Finnair
  • Iberia
  • Japan Airlines
  • Malaysia Airlines
  • Qantas
  • Qatar Airways
  • Royal Air Maroc
  • Royal Jordanian
  • SriLankan Airlines
  • Oman Air (joining/added as a oneworld member around 2024–2025, sometimes still noted as future member in some tables)

These airlines collectively serve hundreds of destinations across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the South Pacific, which is why Alaska’s alliance membership is so valuable for long‑haul trips.

Other airline partners (non‑alliance)

Beyond oneworld, Alaska also has bilateral partnerships with several non‑alliance airlines, mainly for earning and, in many cases, redeeming miles. A few smaller regional partners only allow earning on certain tickets, especially when booked via Alaska.

Commonly listed non‑alliance partners include:

  • Aer Lingus
  • Air Tahiti Nui
  • Bahamasair
  • Cape Air
  • Condor
  • Contour Airlines
  • Hainan Airlines
  • Icelandair
  • Kenmore Air
  • Korean Air
  • LATAM Airlines (partnership has had end dates/changes; always check current rules)
  • Mokulele Airlines
  • Porter Airlines
  • Ravn Alaska
  • Singapore Airlines
  • Southern Airways Express
  • STARLUX Airlines
  • Aleutian Airways and Contour Airlines are sometimes listed as “earn‑only” partners in updated charts.

Availability of redemptions versus earn‑only status can change over time, especially as Alaska updates its Atmos Rewards program, so it’s smart to confirm specifics before you book.

Story‑style example: how a partner itinerary works

Imagine you live in Seattle and want to visit Bangkok using Alaska miles. You might fly Alaska from Seattle to Tokyo, then connect on Japan Airlines to Bangkok, with both segments credited to your single Atmos Rewards account. On the way home, you could route via Doha on Qatar Airways back to the US, again combining multiple partners on one award and enjoying alliance‑wide lounge and priority perks if you hold Alaska elite status.

What to check right now

  • Program branding and charts: Alaska has been rolling its unified Atmos Rewards program, so earning and redemption charts are being updated.
  • LATAM, Singapore, and some regionals: their status (earn‑only vs. earn‑and‑redeem, or partnership end dates) can shift, so always confirm on Alaska’s official partner page before booking.
