Alaska Airline bonus tickets: Flight origin?

Alaska Airline bonus tickets: Flight origin?

  1. Daniel Seidenman New Member

    Hey Ben

    about Alaska Airlines
    the search engine in the Alaska web site only allows for travel originating from the USA.

    is it possible to purchase using Alaska miles tickets that dont originate in the USA?

    thanks

    Daniel
