Alaska Airlines is expanding its long-standing cooperation with British Airways, a founding member of the oneworld alliance, so that our guests may now book simple, nonstop flights to London directly at alaskaair.com. Guests can book British Airways tickets at alaskaair.com for a smooth journey 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, and the route between Seattle and London is one of the most popular among our Pacific Northwest clients.
“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 provides considerable service to London from our key West Coast gateways, which can be booked directly on alaskaair.com: Seattle (two daily flights), Portland (daily flight), San Francisco (two daily flights), Los Angeles (three daily flights), and San Diego. Our website also allows users to book British Airways nonstop flights from Chicago (three daily flights) and New York JFK (eight daily flights). British Airways tickets booked on alaskaair.com are valid for flights commencing June 18 and beyond. Beginning later this year, passengers will be able to purchase Alaska flights that link 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.”
