Alaska Mileage Plan Redesigns Their Award Charts

must be a tech geek web engineer who defaulted the pricing order to cabin characters in an alphabetical order...

Terence hit the nail on the head. It all made sense to me.

There are some errors in the chart. When you try Air France / KLM from Europe to Europe, it shows a round-trip coach ticket as 65,000 miles. It shows a one-way ticket for 15,000 miles in coach, 25,000 in business, and 50,000 round trip in business.

@Terence - LOL

@ Terence -- Hahahahah, that explains it!

I wondered whether is it a mistake or otherwise. Flying Cathay Pacific F class within Asia to Asia used to be 50K miles for one way. Now it's 70K miles.

It doesn't makes sense since it's the same mileage required for one way US-Asia too.

They have 'premium coach' in the British Airways chart...

Lots of errors, and will make it tougher to find out if they make 'quiet' changes to award charts, and a lot of clicking around to discover what region to region combinations are possible which I doubt they have listed comprehensively given the other errors. The footnotes aren't assigned to the relevant carriers (unless they intend blackout dates for all carriers to Asia), they don't have off-peak dates for AA in the Asia charts, there are multiple price errors in different regions and carriers.

Scott's coming across as an extension of the AS pr dept over the last year or so, I regret to say. I liked AS' approach a lot before 2016, but recent developments (surcharges on new partners' awards, no-notice EK deval, Aeromexico awards still missing, likely near term DL departure, likely future devals given the VX overpay and renegotiations with other obvious shall-not-be-named premium carriers coming up) have shifted me to immediate burn mode, with no more preference given to AS or partners versus the Big 3 and other large foreign programs. Seems counter to their constant refrain of using their FF program as a differentiator; they are very close to becoming the same as the Big 3. I won't state the obvious last domino that would complete the move to the dark side.

Is that right or is Delta one way award the same as roundtrip? Also same for Korean Air?

@ Jay -- Yep, indeed, no one-way pricing.

Hmm... Indeed, if there are no charts like before, it will make it more complicated to figure out sweet spots and other glance-able info. This should be in addition to what they had previously.

(B)usiness, (C)oach, (F)irst, (P)remium Economy: alphabetical. SMH.

Lucky,
I think you need to write another piece about how many of these awards have changed with the update of this page. Cathay Pacific now requires the same amount of miles for an intra-asia flight that it does from Asia to the states in Business and First. Either a massive error on their part or they are trying to pull a fast one, with significant changes, on everyone with the update to the page.

Reading a headline like that causes frequent travelers to get antsy.

Can't combine partners but does code share count as an Alaska flight?

EG: PHX-LAX on AA but Alaska code share then Cathay over the Pacific.

Thanks!
