Where Should I Credit This Ticket?
Since there are so many possibilities to create your itinerary, I would recommend you to consider the following points when choosing your flights:
- List the top 3 Airlines/Business Class seats you want to try
- Review your miles game strategy: Do you want to have more miles in Oneworld, Star Alliance or Alaska Airlines?
The Alaska Mileage Plan is a lucrative program which allows you to redeem flights at great rates. If you choose to credit your miles into the Alaska Mileage Plan, you may want to choose to fly American Airlines, British Airways or Finnair. If you are unfamiliar with the Alaska Mileage Plan, you may want to check out the link below.
After you have prioritised several options, check out where to credit. For example should you choose to fly Finnair and American Airlines between Paris and Los Angeles, your tickets should book into fare code I for some great earnings on British Airways (16187 Avios base points) or Alaska Airlines (15880 base miles).
Generally speaking, you need 22k British Airways Avios points for 4 hours one way Intra Asia Business Class flights and 25k Alaska miles for up to 8-9 hours one way Intra Asia Business Class flight. Hence,choose wisely!
