Alaska Airlines is expanding our long-standing partnership with British Airways, a founding member of the oneworld alliance, to now enable our guests to purchase convenient, nonstop flights to London directly at alaskaair.com. Guests can buy British Airways flights at alaskaair.com for a seamless travel experience 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, with service between Seattle and London being one of the most in-demand routes for our guests in the Pacific Northwest.
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 offers significant service to London from our key West Coast gateways that can be purchased directly on alaskaair.com: Seattle (two daily flights); Portland (daily flight); San Francisco (two daily flights); Los Angeles (three daily flights); and San Diego (two daily flights). Flyers can also book British Airways nonstop flights from Chicago (three daily flights) and New York JFK (eight daily flights) on our website. British Airways tickets purchased on alaskaair.com are for flights beginning on June 18 and beyond. Starting later this year, guests will also be able to purchase Alaska flights connecting to British Airways, along with flights beyond London on British Airways.
