Alaska Airlines announced today that it’s adding a new airline partner today. Philippine Airlines is the flag carrier of the Philippines and the oldest operating commercial airline in Asia. Alaska flyers will soon be able to book flights directly on Alaskaair.com as well as earn and redeem miles for travel on Philippine Airlines.
Philippine Airlines connects Alaska’s hubs in Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) with Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) a total of 11x weekly. From there, Philippine Airlines offers dozens of additional destinations in Asia and beyond.
This new partnership expands one that Hawaiian Airlines already had in place. In addition to Philippine Airlines continuing to offer Hawaiian codeshare flights on its website, Hawaiian flyers will soon be able to earn and redeem miles on Philippine Airlines when they use their Mileage Plan number.
Brett Catlin, Vice President of Loyalty, Alliances, and Sales at Alaska Airlines, said:
Philippine Airlines is a terrific addition to our roster of global airlines offering world-class service and amenities. We’re excited to make this announcement as we mark the beginning of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The large Filipino communities living in Hawaii, California and Washington state can travel on Philippine Airlines long-haul, widebody aircraft and soon earn valuable Mileage Plan miles on their transpacific journeys.”
Philippine Airlines’ Vice President for Marketing, Alvin M. Miranda, added:
We are proud to partner with Alaska Airlines to deliver even greater value to our Mabuhay Miles members. This strategic collaboration significantly expands our network and flight options, enabling our members to enjoy enhanced connectivity and flexibility in how and where they use their miles. It’s an exciting step forward in enriching the overall travel experience we offer.”
Anthony’s Take: Alaska Airlines has more partnerships (this will be its 32nd) than just about any carrier in addition to its relationships from being part of oneworld®. This is a nice expansion of the partnership that Hawaiian Airlines had established.
