In 2015 Alaska Airlines and Hainan Airlines announced a partnership. This has been fantastic for Mileage Plan members, since Hainan often has reasonable paid business class fares, and they also have an excellent onboard product. So you've been able to book a reasonably priced business class fare on Hainan and earn a lot of miles,…

Effecting these changes by travel date rather than ticketing date is extremely annoying. I think 2019 is the year I drop my loyalty to AS.
paid 70% extra, booked an A class PVG-CKG-LAX last week, departing Oct 2nd.

@beyounged Call in Alaska for this and ask them for an exemption. They often gladly helps
That is awesome news! Alaska is the airline I have status with and I fly with Hainan (Business Class) a few times a year. Thanks for continuing to report on the Alaska Milage program.
Lucky, did you read this?

Looks like white Republican males in our Congress continue to be scumbags (do anything for campaign contributions) and their constituents continue to be dumb morons that will continue vote for anything as long as they get to stick it to non whites. Sub human scum really. No other words. Passing bad legislation when they are not busy raping or harassing women.
Booked my Hainan ticket in March for Oct 15. Crazy that Alaska changed the rules for travel date and not booking date. I have gold status with Alaska and was using this flight to keep my status.
Glad I read this as was just about to book an R class to keep 75K. And on that note, WTF, for those that booked already hope they have a lenient policy for forgiveness...
Maybe next year is the year to go DL. They're often cheaper out of SEA anyway.
Hainan is pretty reasonable to fly if you book your seat early enough but earning on economy has been pitiful. If you are making a close connection in Beijing to a domestic Hainan flight it is really nice that you can walk to the domestic terminal for Hainan in about 15 minutes as opposed to getting the shuttle bus to the huge new terminal three. So I still like Hainan.
Debit no one cares about your political views. This is a travel forum. Take your ignorant ramblings elsewhere!!
