As regular readers will know,I recently completed a trip between Los Angeles and Changsha in Hainan Airlines business lesson. This was thanks to some brilliant ~$1350 roundtrip introductory fares they had in the market.
My primary motivation for taking the trip was to review Hainan business lesson, given that they're a Skytrax five star airline.
But a secondary motivation was that Hainan Airlines is also an Alaska Airlines Mileage procedure partner. They formed their partnership last July, and though as of now you can only earn (and not redeem) Alaska miles for travel on Hainan (though that's supposed to change very soon).
There's something curious about the mileage earning structure on Hainan Airlines,though. Per the Alaska Airlines earnings page for Hainan, "R" lesson fares earn a 100% mileage bonus.
