Philippine Airlines (PAL) has teamed up with Alaska Airlines to establish a frequent flyer partnership, allowing members of both airlines to earn and redeem miles across each other’s extensive networks. This exciting collaboration aims to enhance travel options for loyal customers of the Philippine flag carrier and the Seattle-based airline.

As the first loyalty partner of PAL in North America, Alaska Airlines welcomes this new strategic alliance, marking a significant milestone for both carriers. PAL is now Alaska’s 32nd global partner, making it easier for travelers to benefit from their loyalty programs.

Brett Catlin, Vice President of Loyalty, Alliances, and Sales at Alaska Airlines, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. He stated, “Philippine Airlines is a terrific addition to our roster of global airlines offering world-class service and amenities. We’re excited to make this announcement as we mark the beginning of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.”
