Alaska Airlines New Initiatives & Reward Programs

If you’re an Alaska Airlines traveller prepping for summer vacation, the new initiatives and updates to the airline’s rewards programmes might come in handy. With the new developments, everything from your ticket bookings to how you deal with checked baggage might change. So, here is all you need to know about the new updates on Alaskan Airlines before your next trip.

The Alaska Access Initiative

Alaska Airlines introduced a new membership program, allowing request flyers to take advantage of the best fares the airline has to offer. This new initiative requires members to subscribe for just USD 5 a month for a maximum of 12 months. With this subscription, travellers can get a one-way Wi-Fi voucher each month, which is usually USD 8. In addition to this, members of the Alaska Access Initiative also get early sale access to some of the airline’s biggest sales. With this, frequent flyers and loyal Alaska Airlines travellers will be the first to know about and score the very best fares the airline has to offer.

Bilt Rewards Travel Program

The Bilt Reward system includes both a credit card and a payment portal. Just last week, Alaska Airlines joined the unique flexible spend credit card program, allowing travellers even more advantages. With this, travellers who pay rent can earn travel rewards on the airlines, which can accumulate to up to $100,000 per year! Additionally, the airline’s point system also allows travellers to move points to United, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Hyatt Hotels and so much more!

Alaska Baggage Policy

On March 1st, Alaska Airlines also made changes to its baggage policy. It appears that prior to this change, anytime an Alaska ticket was booked with a separate ticket to Australia or longind, your baggage was checked all the way through. With the new change, however, you have to re-check your bags when you change airlines, meaning longer layovers in both destinations. This, however, might not apply to airlines that Alasak has interline baggage agreements with, such as United Airlines.

Webjet, Australia’s premier online travel agency, has announced the relaunch of its partnership with AirAsia. This collaboration will simplify the process of searching, comparing, and booking cost-effective flights across AirAsia’s extensive network, facilitating easier access to destinations in Asia and beyond.

With this, they are introducing hundreds of additional flight routes to popular Australian destinations such as Bali, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok through AirAsia, AirAsiaX, Thai AirAsia X, and AirAsia Indonesia.
