Alaska Reworks Atmos Rewards Airline Partner List, Adds Earning On Breeze

Atmos Rewards members can now earn points on Breeze Airways flights, as long as they book through Alaska or Hawaiian. The FAQ on Alaska's partner page states that bookings with ticket numbers starting with 027 earn points on every partner flight, specifically including Breeze, ITA Airways, and Singapore Airlines.

Breeze isn't a regular partner, though. It doesn't appear under the Oneworld, global, or regional categories. With that in mind, we could see Alaska Airlines add a new partner tier in the future that includes Breeze.

The rest of the update is smaller. Air Rarotonga and Air Tahiti now appear as regional partners but are marked "coming soon," and Singapore Airlines and ITA Airways no longer show up on the partner lists, though they still earn when booked through Alaska or Hawaiian.

Andrew's Take

Breeze is an interesting addition, given the carrier focuses on connecting smaller U.S. markets. The annoying part is how confusing the rules are: some Atmos partner flights earn even when you book with the operating carrier, others only earn through Alaska or Hawaiian, and it all depends on the airline. This is hard to keep track of, and booking partner flights through Alaska or Hawaiian can often be more expensive than booking directly with the operating airline.
