Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards is out with a new offer for a whopping up-to-60% discount on award flights to six international destinations. These featured destinations change each quarter, and this month’s lineup includes routes to Spring-inspired cities across Europe and Japan.

Here's everything you need to know about this offer, which has a short booking window.

Save up to 60% on These Alaska Airlines Award Tickets

This Alaska Airlines Global Getaways promotion discounts award flights (by up to 60%!) to six destinations, with one-way awards available at the following starting rates:

• Helsinki, Finland (HEL) — Starting at 17,500 points
• Copenhagen, Denmark (CPH) — Starting at 20,000 points
• Vienna, Austria (VIE) — Starting at 20,000 points
• Hokkaido, Japan (CTS) — Starting at 20,000 points
• Munich, Germany (MUC) — Starting at 30,000 points
• Prague, Czech Republic (PRG) — Starting at 30,000 points

If you're interested, you'll need to book soon. The booking window runs from February 17 through February 27, 2026. The travel window is slightly longer, covering trips from February 27 through May 12, 2026.

There are also blackout dates to keep in mind. Discounted awards aren't available from March 18 through April 21, 2026, which excludes a rather significant portion of the overall travel window.

How good is this Alaska Airlines award discount?

In our book, just about any discount is a good discount. After all, you're saving points and miles, which is a good thing. And Alaska Airlines' Global Getaways offer is one of the better deals we've seen on Atmos Rewards award tickets in quite some time.

The main catch is that promotional pricing applies to economy class only, which might be a dealbreaker depending on how you prefer to travel. That said, we're seeing some excellent deals.

For instance, you can fly from New York (JFK) to Sapporo, Japan (CTS) for just 20,000 Atmos Rewards points plus about $19 in taxes and fees. Atmos Rewards uses distance-based pricing for partner awards, and this same ticket would normally cost 42,500 miles. That works out to roughly a 53% discount.

Rather head to Europe instead? Through this promotion, you can fly from the U.S. to Helsinki starting at just 17,500 points, even if you're departing from the West Coast. For example, flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Helsinki (HEL) via Chicago (ORD) are pricing at 17,500 points plus about $19 in taxes and fees.

Ordinarily, this award would cost 35,000 points, so you're saving about 50%.

Even if the advertised 60% discount proves elusive, savings of 50% or more are still exceptional. And that's even more true if one of these destinations is already on your radar and you have flexibility to travel this spring.

• This promotion doesn't require registration.
• You must book by February 27, 2026.
• The travel period runs from February 27 through May 12, 2026.
• Blackout dates apply from March 18 through April 21, 2026.

Visit Two Destinations With One Discounted Award

Going to Vienna, Helsinki, or any of these destinations sounds excellent. Know what's even better? Visiting two places on a single award ticket.

We are big fans of Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards. Its points are extremely valuable: AwardWallet users have averaged 2.18¢ per point in recent redemptions. If you're considering a discounted award ticket with this promotion, this deal can get even better.

That's because Alaska Airlines allows free stopovers on award tickets. For example, you could fly to Vienna and add a stopover in London or Madrid along the way, all on one award. Alaska permits one stopover of up to 14 days on one-way international itineraries. On round-trip international awards, you can include two stopovers, with one in each direction of travel.
