Alaska Airlines, in collaboration with Expedia, introduces Alaska Vacations—a groundbreaking portal designed to revolutionize how travelers book their holidays. Announced on March 4, this partnership marries the expertise of a leading airline with the vast resources of a premier online travel agency, offering an all-encompassing platform for booking flights, hotels, car rentals, and vacation packages.

Alaska Vacations stands out by enabling Alaska Mileage Plan members to earn valuable miles on every booking, enhancing the appeal of the airline's award-winning loyalty program. Courtney Lansing, Managing Director of Business Development and Products at Alaska Airlines, highlighted the dual benefits of convenience and savings. "Alaska Vacations allows you to explore new destinations or book last-minute deals while earning miles toward your next dream vacation. By bundling your flight, hotel, and activities through Alaska Vacations you’re also saving money, which is a win all-around," Lansing remarked.

This innovative portal offers more than just flights and accommodations. It includes rental properties with flexible cancellation policies and around-the-clock online support, courtesy of the Expedia Group. For Alaska Mileage Plan members, the perks are even sweeter—every package booked through Alaska Vacations not only accrues standard flight miles but also additional rewards, especially when purchases are made with an Alaska Airlines Visa card.

But the benefits of Alaska's Mileage Plan extend beyond this new offering. Members enjoy superior mileage earnings compared to other airlines, along with exclusive perks that even non-members can access through purchase. These include the Companion Fare option for Alaska Airlines Visa cardholders, allowing the booking of a companion ticket for a nominal fee plus taxes, and access to an expansive network of lounges through its oneworld alliance membership and Lounge+ program.

The alliance between Alaska Airlines and Expedia, symbolized by the launch of Alaska Vacations, underscores a shared commitment to providing travelers with unmatched value and convenience. It represents a significant step forward in the evolution of travel booking, promising a seamless and rewarding experience for every journey.
