Alaska Vacations launched in March 2024; it's a booking platform powered by Expedia, allowing Mileage Plan<\/a> members to earn miles on vacation packages. The platform makes it easy to book a vacation package including flights, accommodations, and\/or car rental, all in the same easy booking. More than that, the platform offers discounts on the hotel portion of the stay.<\/p>\n Normally, travelers don't earn as many points or miles when using Expedia as they would by booking directly with the airline or hotel. In the case of this new partnership, Mileage Plan members still earn miles on the package. In the press release<\/a>, Alaska Airlines states, “Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Members will earn miles for every package booked via Alaska Vacations, on top of the normal flight miles earned.” The only problem: Exact details aren't given as to how many miles you can earn.<\/p>\n However, using an Atmos\u2122 Rewards Ascent Visa Signature\u00ae<\/sup> card<\/a> earns 3X miles in the Alaska Vacations booking portal.\u00a0That's in addition to the miles normally earned on the Alaska Airlines flight.<\/p>\n Related: Do Alaska Miles Expire?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Alaska Vacations seems to be decent a platform if you want to book your entire vacation package all at once and earn Mileage Plan miles on all parts of the package.
