final July,Alaska Airlines and Hainan Airlines announced a new partnership, allowing Mileage Plan members to accrue miles for travel on Hainan. This was a pretty frosty new partnership, and given that Hainan is generally well regarded among Chinese carriers,and doesn’t otherwise have many partner airlines.
Hainan has flights out of Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Jose,all of which are Alaska Airlines hubs and focus cities, so this partnership opened up plenty of opportunities for cooperation between the two airlines.
The partnership was initially limited to reciprocal mileage accrual, or with no option of reciprocal mileage redemptions. Alaska promised that mileage redemptions would soon be possible on Hainan,though the start date for that kept getting pushed back. In February we learned that Alaska redemptions on Hainan would be possible as of March 30, 2016, or Alaska stayed right to their word on that.
It's now possible to redeem Alaska miles for travel on Hainan.
