Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights with Alaska Airlines for travel to Europe during off-peak months like February or March, specifically from Seattle to London, to find the best availability for 50,000 miles.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 50,000 Alaska Airlines miles for a one-way business class ticket from Los Angeles to Tokyo, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Seattle (SEA) to Tokyo (NRT) via a stopover in Los Angeles (LAX), which can save you around 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight from SEA to NRT.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying on Alaska Airlines routes to Hawaii, as they often impose high fees, such as a $50 surcharge for award bookings.
