Insights

Alaska Airlines expands Pacific network through Philippine Airlines partnership, enhancing loyalty program value while leveraging Hawaiian acquisition synergies.

Alaska Airlines has strategically expanded its global connectivity by partnering with Philippine Airlines (PAL), Asia's oldest operating commercial airline and the flag carrier of the Philippines. This partnership marks a significant enhancement to Alaska's trans-Pacific network strategy, making Alaska the first North American loyalty partner for Philippine Airlines.

The partnership's structure is comprehensive, allowing Alaska's customers to soon book Philippine Airlines flights directly through alaskaair.com and both earn and redeem Mileage Plan miles on these flights. This creates a seamless booking experience and loyalty benefit for travelers, particularly valuable for the substantial Filipino communities in Alaska's West Coast markets.

PAL's extensive route network complements Alaska's domestic strength, offering five weekly nonstops from Honolulu, three from Seattle, two daily from Los Angeles, and daily service from San Francisco to Manila. This coverage strategically aligns with Alaska's hub structure and creates natural connection opportunities throughout the Philippine Airlines network in Asia.

What's particularly noteworthy is how this partnership builds upon the existing relationship between Hawaiian Airlines and Philippine Airlines, demonstrating thoughtful integration following Alaska's acquisition of Hawaiian. The partnership represents Alaska's 32nd global airline partner, reinforcing their strategy of expanding global reach through partnerships rather than operating their own long-haul international fleet.

From a connectivity perspective, this partnership enhances Alaska's competitive position in the growing North America-Philippines market without requiring the capital investment of launching their own long-haul service. The ability for customers to earn 100% of miles flown (or 250% in premium cabins) creates a compelling loyalty proposition that strengthens Alaska's position among travelers to Asia and the Pacific.

Our guests can soon book nonstop flights on Philippine Airlines from Honolulu and our West Coast hubs to Manila at alaskaair.com, plus earn and redeem Mileage Plan miles 

SEATTLE, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is celebrating the addition of our newest global airline partner, Philippine Airlines, the flag carrier of the Philippines and the oldest operating commercial airline in Asia. With our new frequent flyer partnership, Alaska becomes Philippine Airlines' first loyalty partner in North America, opening the door for our guests to book travel to exotic, once-in-a-lifetime destinations such as Palawan and Boracay in the Philippines.

In the coming months, our guests will be able to book flights on Philippine Airlines directly at alaskaair.com, earn Mileage Plan miles for their travel and redeem Mileage Plan miles for Philippine Airlines flights.

Philippine Airlines offers a variety of flight options between Alaska's hubs in Honolulu and the West Coast to Manila: Five nonstop flights a week from Honolulu; three nonstops a week from Seattle; two daily nonstops from Los Angeles; and a daily nonstop from San Francisco. From Philippine Airlines' hub in Manila, travelers can connect to dozens of additional destinations in Asia and elsewhere.

"Philippine Airlines is a terrific addition to our roster of global airlines offering world-class service and amenities," said Brett Catlin, vice president of loyalty, alliances and sales at Alaska Airlines. "We're excited to make this announcement as we mark the beginning of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The large Filipino communities living in Hawaii, California and Washington state can travel on Philippine Airlines long-haul, widebody aircraft and soon earn valuable Mileage Plan miles on their transpacific journeys."

This new partnership builds on the existing one that Hawaiian Airlines already had in place with Philippine Airlines. With the combination of Alaska and Hawaiian, we're delivering more for our guests, including improvements and expansions to the partnership between Hawaiian and Philippine Airlines. In addition to Philippine Airlines continuing to offer Hawaiian codeshare flights on its website, Hawaiian flyers will soon be able to earn and redeem miles on Philippine Airlines when they use their Mileage Plan number.

HawaiianMiles members can link their HawaiianMiles and Mileage Plan accounts together to have their status matched, allowing them to enjoy elite benefits when traveling on either airline.

"We are proud to partner with Alaska Airlines to deliver even greater value to our Mabuhay Miles members," said Philippine Airlines' Vice President for Marketing Alvin M. Miranda. "This strategic collaboration significantly expands our network and flight options, enabling our members to enjoy enhanced connectivity and flexibility in how and where they use their miles. It's an exciting step forward in enriching the overall travel experience we offer."

Philippine Airlines becomes Alaska's 32nd global partner. When guests book any partner flight directly on alaskaair.com, they earn more miles faster – 100% of the miles for the distance they fly.
