SEATTLE, Aug. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third
year in a row, Alaska Mileage Plan has received top honors in U.S.
News & World Report's list of Best Airline Rewards
Programs.
The Best Airline Rewards Programs ranking identifies the top
frequent flyer programs for everyday travelers using a methodology
that weighs six components: ease of earning a free round-trip
flight, benefits, network coverage, flight volume, award flight
availability and airline quality ratings.
"Unlike other programs in the industry, our members earn miles
based on how far they fly on us – not just what they spend, and we
offer a generous upgrade policy for elite members," said
Sangita Woerner, vice president of
marketing at Alaska Airlines. "This award is meaningful given the
publication's reach and will help us to showcase our unique award
program to a global audience."
With Alaska and Alaska Global
Partners, members can earn and redeem miles to more than 900
destinations worldwide, as well as on car rentals, hotel stays, and
everyday purchases with the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card.
