Alaska Airlines just announced new partners, routes and redemptions starting in June. Let’s have a look at the news and see which award flights are already available with AwardFares.

In a nutshell

New Partner STARLUX Airlines

STARLUX Airlines just became a partner of the Alaska Mileage Plan program, which means you can now start earning and redeeming miles with their flights!

Fly with STARLUX Airlines from Los Angeles (LAX) to popular destinations in Southeast Asia, including Bangkok (BKK), Danang (DAD), and Hanoi (HAN), via Taipei (TPE). Enjoy Asian’s busy city life, beautiful beaches, and breathtaking natural settings, all while earning miles as part of your trip.

Redemptions for award flights will be made available later this summer (July), make sure to stay tuned to our newsletter to get notified when those award flights become visible on AwardFares.

Note: Flights marketed by STARLUX Airlines and operated by another carrier are not eligible for mileage credit, so keep that in mind!

Seattle to Paris on Air Tahiti Nui

Connect in Seattle and go straight to Paris via a direct flight on Air Tahiti Nui. Redemptions are already visible on AwardFares.

Air Tahiti Nui upgraded its fleet to Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners in 2018, which are named after the islands of French Polynesia. The airline is known for its commitment to Tahitian culture, often showcasing traditional music and dance during flights, and serves a unique blend of French and Polynesian cuisine. Air Tahiti Nui is the only carrier that flies non-stop between Los Angeles and Tahiti, a key route that has won it numerous travel industry awards for best airline in the South Pacific.
