Japan Airlines to Codeshare with Alaska Airlines

Japan Airlines and Alaska Airlines have entered into a codeshare and FFP partnership which will provide customers with an enhanced network and more mileage earning opportunities between Japan and the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

With Alaska Airlines' extensive operations across California, Oregon, Idaho and Washington, JAL customers will have more flight options and access to new cities including Seattle and Portland.

Additionally, travelers can take advantage of more improved connections to and from Asia via JAL's West Coast operations including Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Vancouver, B.C.

With the new codeshare agreement, scheduled to take effect 29 June 2016 pending government approval, customers who fly Alaska Airlines and JAL will be provided with:

- seamless reservations and ticketing;

- one-stop check-in and thru-checked baggage to JL/AS final destination;

- smooth flight connections;

- mileage accrual and award redemption opportunities;

- superior customer service standards.

"As a premium Japanese airline, JAL is a great addition to Alaska's line-up of high quality global partners, giving our Mileage Plan members more ways to earn miles for travel from the West Coast to Japan and beyond," said Andrew Harrison, Alaska's executive vice president and chief commercial officer. "For the first time, our members will be able to earn and redeem miles within Japan, taking advantage of 600 daily flights on JAL's broad domestic network."
