What is the process for making reservations on Alaska Airlines using miles from a partner airline's mileage program?

If you are a member of one of our partners' mileage programs and wish to deduct miles to travel on Alaska Airlines, please contact the partner directly. View Partner Airline Contact Information.

What type of routing am I allowed on a Partner reservation?

A stopover means stopping in a city en route to or from your final destination. An open jaw is flying into one city and returning from a different city, back to your original city of departure. Stopovers and open jaws are allowed, however the policies vary from airline to airline.

• Both Northwest and Continental Airlines require a Saturday night stay on domestic Award reservations.
• All domestic awards for travel to/from the lower 48 states and Canada allow a round-trip or open-jaw itinerary. Contact the Partner Desk at 1-800-307-6912 for information on open-jaw itinerary routing restrictions.
• Policies regarding domestic stopovers vary from airline to airline. Contact the Partner Desk at 1-800-307-6912 for information on stopover itinerary restrictions.
• International Awards allow at least one en route stopover and/or an open jaw, but not both on all partner airlines. The stopover must be at a city in the published routing between the city of origin and the final destination.

Can I make changes to my reservations?

Yes, you can cancel or make one change to your U.S., Canada, or Mexico award reservation within 24 hours of purchase and have your miles redeposited with no fee. You can change or cancel your International award reservation within 72 hours of purchase and have your miles redeposited without penalty. Changes or cancellations made after the grace period will incur a $100 (USD) per person change fee when changing a confirmed itinerary through an Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air Reservations Call Center or Airport Ticket Counter and $75 (USD) change fee for changes made at alaskaair.com.

Who do I contact for seat selections, special meals, wheelchair assistance, unaccompanied minor information, international documentation requirements, infant information, or other special needs on a partner reservation?

You must contact the airline on which you are flying. If you are flying on an itinerary with a destination that involves more than one airline you must contact the airline that actually flies the segment on which you need the special service. Example: Anchorage to Seattle on Alaska Airlines and Seattle to Minneapolis on Northwest Airlines. You would call Alaska Airlines for any special needs on the Anchorage to Seattle flight and Northwest Airlines for any special needs on the Seattle to Minneapolis flight.

Can I use a Mileage Plan upgrade on Award reservations?

No. Mileage Plan does not offer any upgrades that can be used in conjunction with an Award.

Can I accrue mileage on Partner Award booking?

Can I drop a flight and board in the connecting city?

If you choose not to take all of your flights, there is no refund of mileage, the tickets have no monetary value, and are usually not valid for future travel. To make changes to a Partner Award itinerary, contact the Alaska Airlines Partner Desk at 1-800-307-6912. Changes are subject to fee and availability.

Are there blackout dates, times or destinations which cannot be used for Awards?
