Alaska Airlines’ Atmos Rewards program uses distance-based award charts to price flights on Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and its airline partners.
How many points you’ll need depends on where you’re flying, the distance of your itinerary, your cabin, and which airline operates your flight.
Below, you’ll find the Atmos Rewards award charts for Alaska and Hawaiian flights, along with separate charts for partner airlines, including American Airlines, Qatar Airways, and others.
Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines Award Chart
Flights operated entirely by Alaska Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines follow the same award chart, which covers travel within North America.
The prices below are starting rates for one-way awards. Actual prices can vary based on the route, travel dates, availability, and number of flight segments.
Within North America
| Distance (miles) | Economy | First |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 700 | From 4,500 | From 15,000 |
| 701–1,400 | From 7,500 | From 25,000 |
| 1,401–2,100 | From 10,000 | From 25,000 |
| 2,101–3,500 | From 12,500 | From 30,000 |
| 3,501+ | From 20,000 | From 60,000 |
Flights to Europe, Asia, and beyond
Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines also operate international flights beyond North America, although there’s no published award chart for these routes.
For example, Alaska flies from Seattle (SEA) to Reykjavik (KEF), London (LHR), and Rome (FCO). While there’s no published starting price, economy awards to London and Rome often start around 30,000–42,500 points. Business-class awards can be as low as 95,000 points, although seats at that price are harder to find and actual rates can be considerably higher.
Reykjavik awards tend to start around 32,500 points in economy and 125,000 points in business class. Alaska operates this route with a smaller Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, meaning fewer seats are available to sell at the outset (hence higher prices).
Across the Pacific, Hawaiian Airlines awards from Honolulu (HNL) to Japan can start around 30,000 points in economy or 120,000 points in business class. From the mainland U.S., awards to Japan and South Korea can start around 30,000 points in economy and 150,000 points in business class.
These are examples of observed pricing rather than published award rates, so what you find may differ.
Atmos Rewards Partner Award Charts
Atmos Rewards also lets you redeem points for flights on partner airlines, including members of the Oneworld alliance and other non-alliance carriers.
Some of the bigger names include American Airlines, British Airways, Fiji Airways, Qatar Airways, Philippine Airlines, and Air Tahiti Nui, among others.
Partner awards follow separate distance-based charts organized by geographic region. Each chart lists starting redemption rates by cabin, although actual prices can be higher.
For example, Alaska offers access to additional award inventory on certain partners, including Qatar Airways. These extra seats can come with higher redemption rates than the published starting prices.

How to Read the Atmos Rewards Award Charts
There are a few things worth knowing before using these charts.
- Distance and connections matter. Atmos Rewards uses the total distance of your itinerary, including connections, to determine the applicable distance band. Adding a connection won’t necessarily increase the price, but it could push your itinerary into a higher band.
- Mixed-cabin awards price at the higher cabin. If an itinerary includes both economy and business class, for example, the entire award is priced at the business class rate, regardless of how long each segment is. So, check the cabin on every flight before booking to make sure you’re getting what you expect.
- Partner awards carry an additional fee. Awards involving partner airlines have a nonrefundable $20 fee per person, each way, although this fee is waived for Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite cardholders. Taxes and other applicable charges still apply.
There are also a few rules specific to partner awards. Eligible international itineraries can include one stopover of up to 14 days per one-way award, and awards beginning and ending outside the United States must be booked at least 72 hours before departure.

How to Earn More Atmos Rewards Points
You don’t have to fly Alaska Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines regularly to build up a balance of Atmos Rewards points.
You can earn points through eligible flights on Alaska, Hawaiian, and partner airlines, as well as through Atmos Rewards credit cards and participating shopping and travel partners. It’s also possible to buy Atmos Rewards points (sometimes with a discount or bonus).
Atmos Rewards is also a transfer partner of Bilt Rewards, allowing eligible Bilt points to transfer at a 1:1 ratio. Alaska is also slated to add Bank of America as a transfer partner at some point in the not-so-distant future.
