Do you trust airline partnerships between major carriers and smaller airlines to improve your travel options?
Alaska Airlines has begun selling selected Breeze Airways flights as part of an interline agreement aimed at expanding its presence in the Eastern United States. The partnership allows travelers to earn Alaska loyalty points on eligible bookings.
Why it matters
The collaboration helps Alaska Airlines bridge gaps in its route network while testing the appeal of third-party airline options to its existing loyalty program members.
Alaska Airlines operates over 70 daily nonstops between six West Coast hubs and 11 East Coast airports. Breeze Airways currently maintains a network of more than 90 cities, with 40 destinations served from Raleigh-Durham.
The players
Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines is a major American carrier that is a member of the oneworld alliance and maintains partnerships with various international and domestic airlines.
Breeze Airways
Breeze Airways is a low-cost carrier founded in 2018 that focuses on connecting underserved routes within its growing U.S. network.
The details
Flights booked through the Alaska portal are issued as standalone itineraries and feature ticket numbers starting with 027. The service is currently limited to routes originating from Charleston, Las Vegas, and Raleigh-Durham.
Timeline
Breeze Airways arrived at Raleigh-Durham in 2023.
Breeze Airways served 40 destinations from Raleigh-Durham as of May 2026.
Alaska announced intent to join American's joint businesses in September 2026.
Travel Outlook
This move follows a pattern set by the industry consolidation and route optimization trends that emerged after the 1970s airline deregulation act. It signals a shift toward interline flexibility as legacy carriers look to maintain market relevance in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Travelers should note that these Breeze flights are booked as separate itineraries rather than combined segments, meaning they will not be protected under a single ticket in the event of a delay. Customers can earn loyalty points on these bookings, providing a new way to accrue rewards while accessing routes previously unavailable on the Alaska platform.
The takeaway
This partnership offers travelers more routing options while allowing Alaska to test cross-network loyalty engagement. Customers should confirm their ticket number begins with 027 to ensure their flight is eligible for rewards.
