About a month ago, Alaska Airlines<\/a> published a new partner award chart for Mileage Plan partner redemptions<\/a>. As part of the new award chart, Alaska only lists starting award rates for flights originating in the U.S. or Canada. For destinations outside the U.S. or Canada, Mileage Plan advises its members to “search for your desired destination and dates to view pricing.”<\/p>\n
