To earn, you'll need to ensure your ticket falls into one of the following economy fare classes: Y, S, B, M, H, or Q. Mileage Plan elites will also earn an additional bonus based on the status held at the time of travel.<\/p>\n<p>We don't usually complain about distance-based earnings. However, in the case of Aleutian Airways, it would be much more appreciated if the Mileage Plan earnings were revenue-based. Aleutian flights are generally pretty short and feature a high price tag. Here's a look at the pricing you'll generally find on one-way Aleutian flights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Anchorage (ANC) to King Salmon (AKN):<\/strong> $445<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anchorage (ANC) to Cold Bay (CDB):<\/strong> $589<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anchorage (ANC) to Sand Point (SDP):<\/strong> $589<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anchorage (ANC) to Dutch Harbor (DUT):<\/strong> $589<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cold Bay (CDB) to Sand Point (SDP):<\/strong> $169<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_167999\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/422\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-167999 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Aleutian-AK-itinerary.png\" alt=\"Aleutian itinerary bookable on Alaska Airlines.\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Aleutian-AK-itinerary.png 2344w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Aleutian-AK-itinerary-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Aleutian-AK-itinerary-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Aleutian-AK-itinerary-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Aleutian-AK-itinerary-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Aleutian-AK-itinerary-2048x1152.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Alaska Airlines<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>Sometimes, you'll find better pricing on Aleutian's rival carrier, Ravn Alaska \u2014 or even Alaska Airlines itself.

The pricing should be attractive based on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alaskaair.com\/content\/mileage-plan\/use-miles\/award-charts\" rel=\"noopener\">Alaska's distance-based award charts<\/a>, given that Aleutian flights are rather short.
