Japan Airlines and Alaska Airlines have announced a codeshare and frequent flyer partnership which will take effect from June 29.
The agreement will cover through ticketing between Japan and Alaska’s US Pacific Northwest route network including Seattle and Portland.
The codeshare pact will offer the airlines’ respective customers one-stop check-in and checked baggage to the final destination, frequent flyer points accrual and redemption options.
Flyers can also take advantage of improved connections via JAL’s West Coast flights including Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Vancouver, B.C.
"As a premium Japanese airline, JAL is a great addition to Alaska’s line-up of high quality global partners, giving our Mileage Plan members more ways to earn miles for travel from the West Coast to Japan and beyond," said Andrew Harrison, Alaska’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer.
"For the first time, our members will be able to earn and redeem miles within Japan, taking advantage of 600 daily flights on JAL’s broad domestic network."
The agreement is still pending government approval.
"The new cooperation also allows JAL to strengthen its own presence throughout the Pacific Northwest and will provide additional mileage earning and redemption opportunities for our customers," said Hideki Oshima, JAL executive officer, international relations and alliances.
