Alaska Airlines and Qatar Airways have agreed on a new codeshare deal that will strengthen the partnership between the two airlines.
Beginning 1st July, the new agreement allows passengers on Qatar Airways to book travel and easily connect to more than 150 routes throughout Alaska's network. On the West Coast, Qatar Airways has nonstop service connecting its main hub in Doha to three of Alaska's primary gateway cities – Los Angeles with twice-daily flights, and daily flights at San Francisco and Seattle – allowing for seamless connectivity. The deal also covers reciprocal elite benefits - including preferred seat selection; priority check-in, security and boarding; lounge access and extra baggage allowance.
"We're thrilled to be a part of this evolving partnership with Qatar Airways, one of the world's premier airlines," said Ben Minicucci, Alaska Air Group CEO. "As international air travel resumes, it's important to provide our guests with easier, more convenient travel options to get out and see distant places again. Qatar Airways' nonstop flights from our hubs in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles to Doha and points beyond offers our guest's tremendous opportunities to visit nearly any country they want."
"We are proud to advance our commercial cooperation with Alaska Airlines and we welcome the newest member of the oneworld alliance to Qatar Airways' list of strategic partners," said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr Akbar Al Baker. "This agreement, combined with our existing partnerships, will help consolidate our presence in the region and provide Qatar Airways passengers travelling to and from our 12 U.S. gateways with access to the most comprehensive network of seamless connections across the United States."
