Alaska Airlines is offering double miles when crediting paid Fiji Airways travel to Mileage Plan. Registration required. Tickets must be booked by February 29 for travel between February 1 and June 30. Bonus miles post within 4-6 weeks.
This is on top of Alaska’s generous mileage bonuses for crediting partner airline premium cabin travel to their Mileage Plan program to begin with.
And they’re also running a discount of up to 50% on Fiji Airways award redemption through February 29. Here are their normal and discounted prices:
From | To | Normal | Sale | |||||
Economy | North America | South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand | 40,000 | 20,000 | ||||
Hawaii | South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand | 27,500 | 20,000 | |||||
Business | North America | South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand | 55,000 | 40,000 | ||||
Hawaii | South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand | 45,000 | 40,000 |
Fiji Airways is a oneworld connect member and can take you not just around islands of the South Pacific but also take you to several destinations in Australia and New Zealand via their hub at Nadi, Fiji.
Just don’t expect extensive meal service on flights from Fiji to those destinations.
I couldn’t find anything except in mixed cabins or coach
and they wont apply the discount to upcoming reservations
I’ll offer 80%off but you wont be able to book it 😉
The promotion is not fair as I looked at availability and its simply poor through March in my own experience
I expect Alaska to be able to deliver when they run such award promotions on their metal or their partners
As you have so well said in the past YMMV! 🙂
Thank you very much for the informational post!
Little or no availability at least in business class.
