Great news for Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members! You can now earn Alaska miles when you fly with ITA Airways, the Italian airline based in Rome. While this is currently just an "earn-only" partnership (meaning you can't redeem Alaska miles for ITA flights, yet), it's still a fantastic development.

Why does this matter to you? Well, if you were already planning a trip to Italy or anywhere else ITA flies, you can now boost your Alaska Mileage Plan balance just by flying with them! Think of it as a little bonus towards your next award flight. Plus, these earn-only partnerships often pave the way for full redemption options down the line. So, keep an eye out – you might be able to use your Alaska miles for that Roman holiday sooner than you think!

For now, just make sure you add your Alaska Mileage Plan number to your ITA Airways reservation to start racking up those miles. Every mile counts towards your next dream vacation, so don't leave free miles on the table.
