Despite the dramatic devaluation in terms of earning and redeeming miles in 2014, United MileagePlus remains one of the most valuable U.S. frequent flyer programs with
the biggest number of airline partners and a generally good award availability.
Although it is not a member
of any
of the
big three
airline alliances — oneworld, the Star Alliance or SkyTeam — Alaska does have codeshare agreements with a
number of partner airlines, including Aeromexico, Air France, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Delta, Emirates, Fiji Airways, KLM, Korean Air and
airlines, including Aeromexico, Air France, American
Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Delta, Emirates, Fiji Airways, KLM, Korean Air and
Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Delta, Emirates, Fiji Airways, KLM, Korean Air and Qantas.
Flying Blue is one
of my favorite frequent flyer programs because it has a
number of different sweet spots that you can utilize on SkyTeam
partner airlines like Delta and its a transfer
partner of the
big three programs: Chase, Amex, and Citi.
