3/1/2020부터 AA - 알라스카 상호간에 Award Redemption 막힌다고 합니다

Effective March 1, 2020 it will no longer be possible to use American AAdvantage miles to redeem for travel on Alaska Airlines, and vice versa.

American tells me that there are no further changes to reciprocal lounge access or what’s left of their codesharing relationship at that time. The only change this coming March is that neither airline’s frequent flyer members will be able to redeem their miles for travel on the other carrier any longer.

What's changing, effective March 1, 2020:

• You will no longer earn Mileage Plan miles on American Airlines international flights.

• You will no longer be able to redeem miles for award travel on American Airlines domestic or international flights.

What's not changing:

• You'll continue to earn a mile for every mile flown on eligible domestic American Airlines flights with an Alaska Airlines (AS) flight number to select key destinations in the Midwest and eastern US and Canada.

• Alaska Lounge members can still access over 50 Admirals Club lounges worldwide when flying on an Alaska Airlines or American Airlines flight. (이건 다행이네요)

Why American Says They’re Dropping Award Redemption With Alaska

American says they’re taking this step because,

• Alaska members redeemed more on American (and in premium cabins) than American’s members redeemed on Alaska. They argue that eliminating Alaska member redemptions on American will mean more availability for American AAdvantage members, although I submit that if American had an overriding concern with award availability they’d… offer a reasonable amount of award availability to start with.

   

   

• With Alaska’s growth, after merging with Virgin America, they now serve 97% of Alaska’s destinations. But this isn’t American serving more destinations than before, the gaps in American’s route network that Alaska helped plug remain. This is just that American serves the same cities Virgin America used to – and it isn’t even serving the same routes since American is weak in San Francisco.
