Alaska Airlines has routinely been in the news lately, growing and expanding<\/a>, adjusting its partner award charts<\/a>, and now inking a partnership with a Canadian airline to become its 30th global partner.<\/p>\n In short order, flights on Porter Airlines \u2014 plus flights connecting to Alaska \u2014 will be available for purchase on Alaska's website. According to Alaska Airlines' blog<\/a>, this should happen today \u2014 December 13, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The addition of Porter means greater access to Eastern Canada, specifically through two American gateways in the short term: Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO). Porter plans to launch flights to the two airports in January 2024 on its new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.<\/p>\n A partnership between the two airlines also means that Mileage Plan members can earn miles on Porter flights booked through Alaska's website. At a bare minimum, this means earning 100% of the miles flown and 100% elite-qualifying miles on eligible fares. Porter Reserve tickets earn at a slightly higher 125% mileage rate.<\/p>\n Alaska and Porter announced a mutual focus on expanding their partnership in 2024. This includes reciprocal benefits for Mileage Plan and VIPorter members, mileage redemptions, and more.<\/p>\n We're hopeful that the partnership will grow in early 2024 and bring new mileage redemption opportunities sooner rather than later. But if we had to make an educated guess, redemptions will start after Alaska's new partner award charts take effect next March<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related:<\/strong> Ultimate Guide to Alaska Mileage Plan<\/a><\/p>\n Alaska Airlines and Porter Airlines just launched a partnership with the mutual goal of growing connectivity between the United States and Eastern Canada.<\/p>\n In short order, Porter flights will soon become bookable on Alaska Airlines' website, with mileage redemptions soon to follow in 2024.
