Have you heard the news? Alaska Airlines recently completed its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines, and this merger has opened up a world of exciting new award travel opportunities. If you’re an American Express Membership Rewards points collector like me, you’re going to love what this means for your future travel plans.
In this episode, I dive deep into the implications of the Alaska-Hawaiian merger and explore how you can now effectively transfer your Amex points to Alaska Airlines via Hawaiian Airlines. This is a game-changer for anyone looking to book high-value award flights on Alaska and its partner airlines.
Tune in this week to discover the three partner award flights that I’m most excited about booking with my newly acquired Alaska miles, as well as some honorable mentions that you won’t want to miss. I reveal exactly how many Amex points I transferred to Alaska via Hawaiian Airlines and discuss why doing the same might be a terrible idea for you.
