So, here's what you should know about Alaska Airlines' partners.
Who are Alaska Airlines' partners?
There are three categories of Alaska Airlines partners: airline partners, transfer partners and other partners.
Airline partners include other airlines on which you can earn points and, in some cases, redeem points. Transfer partners include programs from which you can transfer rewards. Finally, other partners include a variety of travel and everyday partnerships through which you can enjoy perks, earn points or redeem points.
When you think of Alaska Airlines' partners, you may picture the airline partners first.
Alaska Airlines has three types of airline partners: Oneworld alliance partners, earn and redeem partners, and earn partners. Here's a look at Alaska Airlines' partners in each category and what Atmos Rewards members can expect from these partners:

Redeeming points for flights on Alaska Airlines partners
Atmos Rewards publishes partner award charts with starting rates. For example, here's the partner award chart for itineraries within the Americas:

Of course, since the Atmos Rewards partner award chart lists starting rates, you may find more expensive awards when you try to redeem points for your trip.
When considering Alaska Airlines partners, you may also think of transfer partners. In other words, which loyalty programs let you convert your rewards into Atmos Rewards points, and which programs are available if you want to convert your Atmos Rewards points into other rewards?
Let's start with the potentially disappointing news: You usually can't convert Atmos Rewards points into any rewards currency. However, if you hold the Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card, you can transfer your points to select hotel programs (more on this later).
Alaska Airlines also has various partners through which you can earn and redeem Atmos Rewards points. Here's a look at the other Alaska Airlines partners.

Plus, you can earn Atmos Rewards points instead of hotel points on eligible stays you book with Best Western, Marriott, Choice Hotels, IHG and Coast Hotels.

Bottom line
The Alaska Airlines partners range from credit cards and a dining rewards program to airline partners. You might initially assume the best way to earn and redeem Atmos Rewards points is on flights operated by Hawaiian or Alaska. However, you'll likely miss out on valuable opportunities if you don't consider how you could earn, redeem or otherwise benefit from Alaska Airlines' partners.
