SEATTLE, Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second
year in a row, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan has received top honors
in U.S. News & World Report's list of Best Airline Rewards
Programs.
The Best Airline Rewards Programs rankings "identify the top
frequent flier programs for everyday travelers using a methodology
that weighs six components: ease of earning a free round-trip
flight, added benefits, network coverage, flight volume, award
flight availability and airline quality ratings."
"We're honored to be recognized as the No. 1 airline rewards
program by U.S News & World Report," said Sangita Woerner, Alaska's vice president of marketing. "Unlike
other programs, our members earn miles based on how far they fly on
us – not just what they spend, and we offer a generous upgrade
policy for elite members."
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members can earn miles on
Alaska's 17 global partner
airlines to more than 800 destinations around the world, as well as
on car rentals, hotel stays, everyday purchases and with the Alaska
Airlines Visa Signature card. Learn more at

Earlier this year, travelers ranked Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
highest in overall customer satisfaction for the third consecutive
year in the J.D. Power 2016 Airline Loyalty/Rewards Program
Satisfaction Report.
