Singapore Airlines and Alaska Airlines begin codeshare

Singapore Airlines is expanding its footprint in North America with a new codeshare and frequent flyer agreement with Alaska Airlines. The Singapore carrier will begin placing its SQ code on Alaska’s flights to 18 destinations in the US and Mexico. These will be in addition to the existing codeshare flights to 19 US destinations flown by Virgin America, which Alaska acquired last year.

The partnership enables members of Singapore Airlines’ Krisflyer frequent flyer programme to earn and redeem miles on Alaska-operated codeshare flights, though members of Mileage Plan will have to wait for a later, as-yet unconfirmed date to be able to redeem miles on Singapore Airlinesoperated flights. singaporeair.com; alaskaairlines.com
