Redeem Atmos Rewards for Philippine Airlines
There's a new way to get to Asia via Atmos Rewards. Part of the ongoing expansion of Alaska Airlines' partner network, one of the most anticipated additions for travelers heading to Asia is now live. You can officially redeem Atmos Rewards for Philippine Airlines flights, giving members access to nonstop flights between the U.S. and Manila, along with dozens of onward connections throughout the Philippines and Asia. Even better, this comes on the heels of Philippine Airlines' recently announced plans to join the oneworld alliance—making this partnership even more valuable in the years ahead.
Philippine Airlines Joins Alaska’s Partner Network
Alaska first announced Philippine Airlines (PAL) as its newest global airline partner back in 2025, marking PAL’s first loyalty partnership in North America. The initial rollout allowed Atmos Rewards members to earn miles on eligible flights, with award redemptions promised for a later date. That day has now arrived. You can directly redeem Atmos Rewards for Philippine Airlines through Alaska’s website, making it significantly easier to book travel to the Philippines using points. This opens up award access to PAL’s U.S. gateways, including:
- Los Angeles (LAX)
- San Francisco (SFO)
- Seattle (SEA)
- Honolulu (HNL)
- New York (JFK)
- Chicago (ORD)
- From Manila, travelers can continue to dozens of destinations across the Philippines as well as cities throughout Asia.
Award Pricing
To redeem Atmos Rewards for Philippine Airlines, reference Alaska's partner-specific award chart pricing. Taxes and fees remain relatively modest compared to many international award programs, making Atmos Rewards another strong option for reaching Southeast Asia. One-ways currently start at the below pricing, which can vary by departure city.
| Route | Economy | Business |
| U.S. ↔ Philippines | 37,500 miles | 75,000 miles |
| Philippines ↔ Southeast Asia | 8,500 miles | 17,500 miles |
| Philippines ↔ North Asia | 15,000 miles | 30,000 miles |
| Philippines ↔ Australia | 25,000 miles | 50,000 miles |
Why This Matters
For years, award travelers looking to visit the Philippines often relied on programs like American Airlines AAdvantage, United MileagePlus or various transferable currencies. The ability to redeem Atmos Rewards for Philippine Airlines creates another valuable option, particularly for travelers who:
- Earn miles through Alaska and Hawaiian credit cards or partners (or transfer from another currency)
- Already use Atmos Rewards for premium international awards
- Want additional availability beyond other oneworld carriers
- Need domestic connections within the Philippines
Since Philippine Airlines serves many destinations that aren’t easily reached on other airlines, this partnership can make itinerary planning considerably easier.
Next Up: Philippine Airlines to Join oneworld
The timing of this partnership is especially noteworthy. Philippine Airlines is slated to become the newest member of the oneworld alliance in 2027. Once the integration is complete, PAL will become the alliance’s 16th member airline alongside carriers such as American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Japan Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways and Qantas. While full alliance integration will take time, membership is expected to bring benefits such as:
- Reciprocal elite status recognition
- Expanded lounge access
- Additional codeshare opportunities
- Improved connectivity across the oneworld network
For Atmos Rewards members, the groundwork is already being laid through the new redemption partnership.
