Alaska Airlines has launched its Global Getaways, discounting the award ticket prices for economy class to 6 international destinations by up to 50%. While economy class award flights are usually not that attractive, this deal has 4 good selling points: You can depart from anywhere in the US, you can fly with any one of Alaska Airlines’ partners (e.g. American Airlines, Japan Airlines or Starlux), the availability is very good, and surcharges are very low.
This deal expires on June 30, 2025 and is valid for flights between August 1 and November 15, 2025. The most attractive destinations on the list are probably Naples and Bangkok. Here are some examples of possible routes and the resulting round-trip prices:
- Chicago – Naples: 50,000 miles + US$77 (~€66) with American Airlines
- Philadelphia – Naples: 50,000 miles + US$77 (~€66) with American Airlines
- New York – Bangkok: 70,000 miles + US$95 (~€82) with Japan Airlines
- Los Angeles – Bangkok: 70,000 miles + US$108 (~€93) with Starlux
The deals can be booked in either direction.
