Flying family of 4 to portland on Alaska Airlines. Do I earn 1200 miles or 4800 miles to my account?
Hi lucky,
Im new to miles so if i want to fly my family of 4 to portland on alaska airlines and the trip is 1200 miles, will I receive just 1200 miles on my account or will i recieve 4800 miles to my account. Thank you!
@ robertt — Typically you can only collect miles for your own travel, and not for the travel of others. So generally you’d receive 1,200 miles in four accounts. That being said, some airlines (like British Airways) allow household accounts, whereby you can pool miles between members.
