Alaska Airlines and Expedia Team Up for ‘Stays by Alaska Vacations’

Alaska Airlines has partnered with Expedia to launch ‘Stays by Alaska Vacations,’ a platform where guests can access exclusive deals on over 900,000 hotel and vacation stays while earning miles through the airline’s loyalty program.

The new partnership with Expedia allows Alaska Mileage Plan members to earn one mile per dollar spent on a ‘Stays by Alaska Vacations’ booking, while Alaska Airlines Visa Signature cardholders can earn an extra three miles per dollar spent on certain pre-paid stays made through the scheme.

Guests have been able to access the deals since Monday, with Alaska’s most loyal customers given the heftiest rewards.

Mileage Plan is among the industry’s most generous frequent flyer programs, providing customers numerous benefits and a fast path to elite status.

Plan holders can exchange points for an elevated travel experience with perks including ‘global connectivity to thousands of international destinations through our Global Partners, no change fees, high-quality West Coast-inspired food, and a premium selection of beverages’.

“Stays by Alaska Vacations combines convenience and affordability by giving our guests access to Expedia Group’s vast inventory and unlocking special savings while earning status on an award-winning airline,” said Courtney Lansing, Managing Director of Business Development and Products at Alaska Airlines.

“Through this partnership with Expedia Group, we’re empowering our guests with choices for every part of their trip — from flights to where they’re staying. It’s a testament to our shared commitment to enhancing the travel experience.”

Stephen Cheng, vice president of strategic partnerships at Expedia Group, said: “We are excited to expand our partnership with Alaska Airlines, underscoring our commitment to seamless, end-to-end traveler experiences backed by proven, reliable tech.

“Powered by our White Label Template solution, ‘Stays by Alaska Vacations’ unlocks our robust lodging supply and offers incredible value for Alaska Mileage Plan members to earn and redeem miles across various trip elements.”

Alaska’s customer base is now accustomed to the streamlined nature of the airline’s holiday offerings. Earlier this year, Alaska Airlines rolled out ‘Packages by Alaska Vacations,’ a scheme designed to provide guests with package-only discounts on airfares, hotel stays, car rentals, and holiday activities.

‘Stays by Alaska Vacations’ is a continuation of this theme, empowering Alaska’s customers to easily earn and redeem miles against travel amenities while accessing some of the best deals on the market.

Only Alaska Mileage Plan members can access these benefits, though. If you frequently fly with Alaska Airlines, joining their loyalty program will earn you swathes of air miles, which you can redeem against flights to over 1000 destinations worldwide.
