Philippine Airlines has become bookable with Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles, presenting a new opportunity for travelers to redeem miles for business class flights to Southeast Asia. This includes flights from the West Coast for 75,000 miles and from other cities like Chicago and JFK for 85,000 miles.
“Philippine Airlines is now bookable with Atmos, giving travelers a new awesome way to and through Southeast Asia.”
“So the best value, I think, is booking Philippine Airlines business class for 75,000 Atmos each way from the West Coast, 85,000 each way from some other cities like Chicago and JFK.”
“And, you know, the fact that there is widespread award space flying into the Philippines anywhere in Asia, as that has gotten increasingly harder to do using points and miles to fly business class like this, this is a big win.”
