I shared the news on Monday evening that Alaska Airlines was going to launch new routes from Seattle to Tampa, Detroit, and New Orleans. But in the official announcement on Tuesday morning we were also told that these routes would be eligible for double miles — and in one case double elite qualifying miles, as well.
This is a great opportunity to remind you that Alaska is offering Double Miles and Double EQMs on lots of other routes, including popular routes up and down the West Coast and for flights in and out of Salt Lake City. Alaska and Delta’s competition has made it easier than ever to earn miles and elite status in Alaska Airlines’ Mileage Plan, one of the best frequent flyer programs in the U.S.
