The Highlights

Alaska Airlines is one of those fun mileage programs that you need to be flexible and clever with to get the most value out of it.

Let's start with the bad news: Alaska Airlines utilizes four different distance-based levels for points redemption. So point redemption can vary widely depending on how far you're going and what class you want to fly in. They also do not offer lay-down seats -- so if you’re splurging for premium seating, don’t be disappointed or shocked when your seat doesn’t go all the way down. The last thing people don’t love about Alaska Airlines is that they only fly domestic, Canada and Central America.

So, why would you want Alaska Airlines miles? One of the biggest reasons is the stopover option. This may not look like a whole lot since they don’t fly very far, but another beautiful thing about Alaska Airlines is their partners, which include Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines and Japan Airlines, to name a few. You can book a round-trip ticket and have a stopover on the way there and on the way back, attaching essentially 3 different trips. Not that domestic is all that bad because Alaska Airline miles can get you to Hawaii and Alaska on some really excellent deals -- and even during peak travel time you can almost always find a reward seat.
