Alaska Atmos Rewards offers the Global Getaways promotion, whereby members can save on award tickets in select regions. While this promotion used to be quarterly, it’s now offered monthly, so there are more frequent offers, but a shorter booking window.

Redemptions to Taiwan using Atmos points are mostly through Starlux. JAL has a few seats, occasionally
Are Atmos Titanium eligible to upgrade from economy to business on award tickets?
Only Atmos Titanium members, per https://www.alaskaair.com/atmosrewards/content/benefits/complimentary-upgrades/alaska-hawaiian?int=Atmos_WEB_MemberBenefitsEliteComplimentaryUpgrade_borealis-grid2_CARD1||segment-upgrades-on-alaska_v4. In practice it sounds like it's tough to get an upgrade, but this is pretty cool and the only US airline that does this for intl business.
I like that Alaska had a lack of restrictions on cancellations and changes - compared to Singapore’s spontaneous escapes (ie the complete lack of changes allowed).
I wish it didn’t have to originate in the USA. But those deals are very good.
The promotion may be modeled after Flying Blue, but it's much less useful. It's surely overhyped and under-delivered.
Too few destinations, too many restrictions (only four days to book, can travel only during small travel Windows), no premium cabins. In a word: useless.
"This is valid specifically for redemptions in economy, and not for travel in first class, business class, or premium economy"... that's disappointing, because the major outsized value with Alaska Atmos is partner F/J, but even then, usually it's a last-minute thing for top-tier redemptions like JL, JX, etc. (or a temporary glitch). There used to be some decent AA redemptions as well, but they've really cut back, lately. Fortunate to have found F on AA's 773 to EZE (thanks to Frequent Miler for finding and promoting that one! @Peter_ did you end up doing that one?)
Yup. "So long, and thanks for all the fish..."

That is a rich person's and MAGA's perspective. Only fat cats demand F and J awards and they should be punished!
Tax those rich people with tons of Atmos or other airline miles. Give them to the poor. The rich people with miles can afford it. They are too greedy. They need to be punished with taxes and taxes need to be weaponized to cause pain.
Regular people fly economy class. AOC is our hope though she may be a secret fat cat.
Im happy with all of these destinations and think its a pretty fair and competitive price, but I really think members need more than a few days to book. Flying Blue does a great job with their program to keep members engaged and offer value. I don't mind that it's only economy, yes J or F would be preferred but they are just too congested generally and I think Alaska wants to maintain good relationships with it's partners. Maybe on their own metal they can offer a special one day.
I'm glad there's any availability on partners at all. It's almost impossible to find anything on JL or CX in econ, let alone F/J. Sometimes I have dreams about finding space on Hainan.
Yeah, might be useful for some....
Those types happy to sit in an Economy seat for 13+ hours as they wing their way to Australia.
Count me out!
Seems like these are not live anymore? They were there yesterday but appear to not be there for saver awards. AS mileage “atmos” plan getting more and more underwhelming every day
Hi Lucky - I noticed that Alaska doesn't show ANY award availability (Eco or J) on JX from SFO to TPE. I see inventory out of LAX, ONT, SEA, etc. But nothing out of SFO. Even in economy for any dates on the schedule! Any reason for this?
