How do you earn Atmos Rewards points on partner flights?
Alaska Air Group describes Atmos Rewards as spanning Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, oneworld and more than 30 global airline partners serving more than 1,100 destinations, and notes that both Alaska and Hawaiian are members of the oneworld alliance. [7]
On partner flying, the rate Atmos Rewards publishes is based on distance. When a member books a partner flight directly on Alaska or Hawaiian, they earn 100% of the points for the miles they fly. [6] In a premium cabin the rate rises: members earn 250% of the distance flown on all Business Class fares, with all partners. [6]
Both rates are described in an Atmos Rewards article that was published alongside a set of discounted award fares, but the rates it states are general partner-earning rules rather than offer-specific bonuses. [6]
Does the earning choice apply to partner flights?
From 1 October 2026, Atmos Rewards members can choose how they earn points and status points on flights departing on or after 1 January 2027, picking one of three methods. [7]
| Method | Rate | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Distance travelled | 1 mile flown = 1 point earned | Default for current members who do not select another option [5] |
| Price paid | $1 spent = 5 points earned | Excludes taxes and fees [5] |
| Segments flown | 1 segment flown = 500 points earned |
The fact sheet for the change says the choice affects only how members earn points and status points on flights, that it applies to all Alaska, Hawaiian and partner flights, and that credit card and partner earning stays the same as today. [5] The separate partner-earning description remains that a partner flight booked directly on Alaska or Hawaiian earns 100% of the points for the miles flown, with 250% of the distance on Business Class fares with all partners. [6]
How do you redeem Atmos Rewards points on partner airlines?
Atmos Rewards members can earn and redeem points with oneworld airlines and the programme's additional global partners, a network that covers over 1,100 worldwide destinations. [7]
Award searches start on the airlines' own websites. Atmos Rewards' booking instructions say to select "use points" when searching for a flight on alaskaair.com or hawaiianairlines.com, after which award pricing appears in the search results. [6] The full sequence of steps, and what happens after an award is selected, is set out in How to book Alaska Atmos awards.
Which airlines are Atmos Rewards partners?
oneworld's tier lookup covers its member airlines: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Fiji Airways, Hawaiian Airlines, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Oman Air, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian and SriLankan Airlines. [3] oneworld says that a top-tier member of a member airline's frequent flyer programme is automatically designated a oneworld tier status of Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald, and that Emerald and Sapphire members can reach more than 600 airport lounges worldwide. [3] How Atmos Rewards status maps onto those tiers is covered in the Atmos Rewards elite status guide, and the alliance itself is explained in the oneworld guide.
Exceptions and limits

- One change a year. Members can change how they earn once per calendar year, and the new choice applies only to future trips — no change applies to travel already completed. [5]
- Conditions on the partner rates. The 100% rate is described for partner flights booked directly on Alaska or Hawaiian, and the 250% rate is described for Business Class fares. [6]
- The alliance list can change. oneworld lists Philippine Airlines as a future member that was invited to join the alliance in June 2026, with Mabuhay Miles as its frequent flyer programme. [4]
