Alaska Airlines passengers will now be able to book British Airways flights to London directly on the American carrier’s website in an expanded partnership agreement.
Travelers can buy tickets now for service starting June 18 on British Airways flights directly at alaskaair.com. These include flights from any of Alaska’s gateway airports in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, or New York, according to the carrier. The airlines are partners through the Oneworld alliance.
Multiple daily frequencies across the pond will be available to book directly with Alaska:
From Seattle: 2x each day
From Portland: Daily
From San Francisco: 2x each day
From Los Angeles: 3x each day
From San Diego: 2x each day
From Chicago: 3x each day
From New York (JFK): 8x each day
The airline plans to expand the partnership later this year by allowing guests to purchase connecting Alaska flights as well as allowing travelers to purchase British Airways flights to other destinations beyond London.
Mileage Plan members who book a British Airways flight through Alaska will earn 100 percent of the miles flown. They also receive equal status matching within Oneworld.
The news comes on the heels of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) approval of a codeshare partnership between British Airways and JetBlue. That partnership will cover certain routes from each airline, including 75 domestic flights from New York and Boston operated by JetBlue and 17 intra-European flights from London operated by British Airways.
