Icelandair Is the Newest Partner of Alaska Airlines. Let’s Celebrate with Double Miles in 2015!
Expiration Date – December 31, 2015
Alaska Airlines has renewed their airline partnership with Icelandair (the two airlines were initially partners until 2013). And to celebrate this renewed partnership, from October 1 through December 31, 2015, Mileage Plan members enjoy double miles on Icelandair flights so register today!
We love double miles deals! Just remember bonus miles will not count as Elite qualifying toward Mileage Plan MVP status.
One beautiful aspect of this partnership is that Reykjavik, Iceland offers a very attractive connection point between North America and Europe. Icelandair offers direct flights from Seattle, Portland, Anchorage and Vancouver to Reykjavik and then flies onward to 20 destinations in Europe. AND flights can now be booked on Icelandair using Alaska Mileage Plan miles:
And the icing on the cake - Icelandair offers a free stopover in Reykjavik for up to seven days for no additional airfare! What a great opportunity to visit the geysers, glaciers and volcanoes of this amazing travel destination!
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan and Icelandair Saga members can earn and redeem miles across both airlines. Alaska MVP Gold and Gold 75 members will also gain access to the Saga lounge at the Reykjavik airport and even more elite benefits are expected in 2016!
Icelandair becomes the 14th airline partner of Alaska Airlines. This extensive partnership network offers access to over 800 destinations across the globe and all flown miles on Alaska’s airline partners create mileage redemption opportunities and earn reward miles towards Mileage Plan Elite status!
The Wrap-Up:
Double Mileage Plan miles for IcelandAir flights through December 31, 2015, is a great perk! And access to 20 European destinations with a free stopover in Reykjavik, Iceland makes this deal even better!
