In May 2025, Alaska Airlines broadened its international presence by establishing a partnership with Philippine Airlines, enabling Alaska Atmos Rewards members to earn and redeem points for travel on the national carrier of the Philippines. This alliance improves connectivity between Alaska’s hubs and Manila, with flights operating from Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and New York. From Manila, travelers can reach numerous destinations throughout Asia.
This partnership represents a strategic initiative for Alaska Airlines, recognized for its emphasis on lucrative alliances, as Philippine Airlines intends to join the oneworld alliance in 2027. This early collaboration hints at forthcoming opportunities for travelers.
Recently, the capability to redeem Alaska Atmos Rewards points on Philippine Airlines has been launched, providing members with new travel prospects. According to Alaska’s distance-based award chart for Asia, a one-way transpacific business class award on Philippine Airlines spans from 75,000 to 85,000 points. These redemptions can now be accessed on Alaska’s website, with good availability for travelers.
Philippine Airlines, which has recently enhanced its fleet with A350-1000s, presents a robust business class experience, improving the travel choices for Atmos Rewards members. This development marks a positive advancement, granting members greater flexibility and selection in their travel arrangements.
As Philippine Airlines gets ready to join the oneworld alliance, this partnership with Alaska Airlines provides a glimpse of the expanded redemption opportunities that will soon be accessible through additional programs. This collaboration signifies a noteworthy achievement for both airlines, improving their global networks and offering travelers increased options for earning and redeeming points.
