Later this year, the airline plans to expand the partnership by allowing guests to purchase connecting Alaska flights and British Airways flights to other destinations beyond London.
According to British Airways' Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, Neil Chernoff, the expanded partnership will offer "seamless access" to London. He added that the airline looks "forward to connecting even more travelers between the Pacific Northwest and the UK capital."
Mileage Plan members who book a British Airways flight through Alaska will earn 100% of the miles flown. They'll also receive equal status matching within Oneworld.
This news comes after the Department of Transportation (DOT) approved a codeshare partnership between British Airways and JetBlue. That partnership will cover certain routes from each airline, including 75 domestic flights from New York and Boston operated by JetBlue and 17 intra-European flights from London operated by British Airways.
