I had quite a long layover at JFK, as I arrived from Miami at around 10AM, and was continuing to Tokyo on All Nippon Airways at around 5PM. So I headed over to Terminal 7 right away, where I'll be reviewing two lounges -- the Alaska Lounge (which I could…
Alaska Mileage Plan is one of my favorite frequent flyer programs, thanks to the unique array of airline partners that they have. At the moment, Mileage Plan is offering a great promotion for travel on Fiji Airways -- you can either receive up to 50%…
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan is one of my favorite programs to buy miles from, both thanks to the frequency with which they sell miles, and what a good deal their redemptions can be. In mid-November Alaska Mileage Plan rolled out their latest promotion…
At the moment Alaska Airlines has a pretty good promotion for anyone who is planning travel this winter. Technically this promotion is being run in conjunction with Starbucks as part of their Happy Hour today, and they tell you to download the Starbucks…
Friday, December 20, 2019, is National Ugly Holiday Sweater Day (apparently?). To celebrate, Alaska Airlines is offering priority boarding to those who wear ugly holiday sweaters on that day. This is a promotion they've offered for the past couple of…
Horizon Air is Alaska Airlines' regional airline, and they operate a fleet of Embraer 175 and Bombardier Q400 aircraft. Well, the details of a pretty damning internal memo have been made public this week, and some of the revelations are shocking. The…
For those of you not familiar with Amex Offers, it’s a program available through most American Express cards, where different cards are eligible for different savings and bonus offers. In many cases the offers can be huge, and more than offset the annual…
For a while the Alaska Airlines Visa® Business Credit Card has had an increased welcome bonus, and it's an offer seriously worth considering. This is a card that I have and that I applied for under a worse offer, so I sure wish I had applied when this…
Alaska Airlines has been known to offer some unique opportunities to get priority boarding, like when before Christmas they sometimes offer priority boarding to those wearing ugly sweaters. Well, the company has now rolled out another promotion for priority…
Alaska Mileage Plan is one of my all around favorite frequent flyer programs, though unfortunately it looks like mileage earning has been cut on yet another partner airline (perhaps due to no fault of Alaska). Alaska Cuts Mileage Earning On Qantas Alaska…
The Alaska Airlines Visa® Credit Card is one of my favorite co-branded airline credit cards. It's a card I've had for years (along with the business version of the card, the Alaska Airlines Visa® Business Credit Card), and one I generally think is great.…
I find Alaska Mileage Plan miles to be incredibly valuable, and in particular appreciate that they allow stopovers even on one-way awards. Well, it looks like the program is changing their policy on this, at least for travel within one region. Alaska…

Yay, it looks like it's finally possible to redeem Alaska Mileage Plan miles for travel on Singapore Airlines, and the implementation is better than I was expecting. Back in August 2017, Alaska Airlines and Singapore Airlines announced a partnership,…

Another airline has just announced a price increase for lounge memberships. It has just been announced that the cost of Alaska Lounge memberships is increasing as of August 30, 2019. This comes just days after Alaska opened their new flagship lounge…
The Alaska Airlines Visa® Business Credit Card has had an increased welcome bonus for a while, and now, and is a card that's well worth picking up, in my opinion (it's also a card that I applied for pretty recently). Alaska and Bank of America have just…
