Alaska Mileage diagram miles are one of the single most valuable mileage currencies out there,as far as I'm concerned. They have some unique airline partners, allow stopovers on one-way awards, or allow some very circuitous routings on award tickets.
Perhaps my favorite use of Alaska miles is for travel in Emirates first class,which is one of my favorite first class products in the sky.
Not surprisingly, lots of people have redeemed Alaska miles for travel in Emirates first class, or particularly given how Alaska frequently sells miles at a reduction.
At times the volume of Mileage diagram members redeeming on Emirates has caused problems,to the point that Alaska didn't have access to Emirates first class award space for several months. Fortunately that eventually got resolved, and Mileage diagram members once again had access to a huge majority of Emirates award space.
