Starting early this year, members of Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan can earn miles on Aeromexico on that carrier’s 80 destinations throughout Mexico, the U.S., Canada, Central and South America, Europe and Asia. And miles flown on Aeromexico will count toward elite qualification in Alaska’s Mileage Plan MVP elite-level program. Later this year, Mileage Plan members will be able to redeem miles for award travel on Aeromexico.

The partnership is also a codeshare so travelers connecting between Alaska Airlines and Aeromexico will be able to check in with the originating carrier, receive their boarding passes and their bags will be checked through to their final destination. Members of Aeromexico Club Premier will also enjoy earning and burning on Alaska Airlines flights.
