Alaska Miles Award Charts and Award Map

When going to make a new Alaska Miles Award Chart, I ran into a problem unique to Alaska Miles – Alaska’s Award Chart is different for each one of their partners.

A flight to Asia is a totally different price on American than it is on Cathay. Also note that Alaska isn’t part of an alliance and may have fewer partner options than most.

I also noticed how many routes are cheapest on Condor air. But Condor has fewer flights than major airlines like British Airways, Cathay, or American, so the number of destinations is limited.

Thus, the best way I can think of to display the prices are via maps, just like I did recently with Flying Blue’s Award Maps.

When you highlight a country, it only shows you the cheapest Condor price if Condor has flights to that country and it will only show the AA off-peak award price if AA flies there.

Unfortunately, the map doesn’t yet show you which airline is the cheapest. Instead, simply check out their award chart page to find the details on which airline is cheapest for which region.

First are the maps, second is the award chart.

Just like the maps, this doesn’t clarify which airline is showing this cheapest price – although I try to indicate off-peaks with an asterisk(*).

It may be simplistic leaving off the airlines, but it reduces dozens of pages and charts to one chart.

All prices are oneway awards.

One thing to note about the award chart – there are a lot of region to region options missing, and in my experience, that means that these other routes are not bookable.
