Alaska Airlines and British Airways Strengthen Partnership with Direct Flight Bookings to London

Wednesday, June 12, 2024

Alaska Airlines is enhancing our long-standing partnership with British Airways, a founding member of the oneworld alliance, by allowing our guests to purchase convenient, nonstop flights to London directly at alaskaair.com. Now, guests can buy British Airways flights at alaskaair.com for a seamless travel experience between London Heathrow and Alaska’s gateway airports in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego, as well as Chicago and New York JFK.

London is one of the most searched-for international destinations on alaskaair.com, with the route between Seattle and London being highly in demand among our guests in the Pacific Northwest.

“We’re excited to add our longstanding partner, British Airways, to our growing portfolio of alaskaair.com book direct airlines,” said Andrew Harrison, chief commercial officer for Alaska Airlines. “London is one the most requested global gateways by our guests and no one serves it better than British Airways and the oneworld alliance.”

British Airways offers extensive service to London from our key West Coast gateways, now available for purchase directly on alaskaair.com. This includes Seattle (two daily flights), Portland (one daily flight), San Francisco (two daily flights), Los Angeles (three daily flights), and San Diego (two daily flights). Travelers can also book British Airways nonstop flights from Chicago (three daily flights) and New York JFK (eight daily flights) directly on our website. British Airways tickets purchased on alaskaair.com are valid for flights beginning June 18 and beyond. Later this year, guests will also be able to purchase Alaska flights connecting to British Airways, as well as flights beyond London on British Airways.

“We are extending our partnership with our fellow oneworld member Alaska Airlines to offer travelers seamless access to British Airways flights to London directly at alaskaair.com,” said British Airways Chief Planning and Strategy Officer Neil Chernoff. “It will enhance the travel experience for our customers, providing convenient connections between London Heathrow and Alaska’s key gateway airports. We look forward to connecting even more travelers between the Pacific Northwest and the UK capital.”
