Alaska Airlines has added Philippine Airlines to its award chart, and the timing matters if Asia sits on your travel list. As of July 27, 2026, Atmos Rewards members can book Philippine Airlines flights with points, including business class to Manila from 75,000 points one-way.
In this article, we break down the new award prices by cabin and departure city, explain the stopover rule that makes these awards more useful, and show which card waives the partner booking fee. If you are still building a points balance, start with our guide to the best credit cards.
Alaska first announced the Philippine Airlines tie-up in May 2025. The launch then slipped several times, which is common when two airlines connect award systems. Bookings finally opened on July 27, 2026, and availability looks solid across the Philippine Airlines schedule rather than limited to a handful of dates.
Atmos Rewards is the combined program that came out of the Alaska Mileage Plan and Hawaiian HawaiianMiles merger. Consequently, the partner list now serves a much larger base of West Coast and Hawaii flyers, and Philippine Airlines fills a real gap in the network toward Southeast Asia.
Atmos Rewards prices these awards on a distance-based chart, with tiers that run from under 1,500 miles up to 10,000 miles and beyond. In practice, that means your departure city decides your price more than your destination does.
Philippine Airlines flies nonstop to Manila from each of those cities. As an example, a Vancouver to Manila one-way runs 37,500 Atmos points plus $63 in economy, while business class on the same route starts at 75,000 points.
Atmos Rewards allows one stopover of up to 14 days on eligible one-way international awards. Therefore, you can stop in Manila for two weeks and continue to another Philippine Airlines destination on the same ticket.
Keep one detail in mind: the total distance of the itinerary sets the final price. A stopover that pushes you into the next distance band will cost more points, so compare the one-way price with and without the extra segment before you book.
Atmos Rewards charges a fee when you book a partner award. However, holders of the Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite Card pay no partner award booking fee at all. If you book partner awards more than once or twice a year, that benefit pays for itself quickly.
The rest of the Atmos co-branded lineup remains useful for building a balance. For a full comparison of what each card earns, see our roundup of the best airline credit cards.
Start on the Alaska Airlines website and search your dates as a one-way award. Philippine Airlines flights now appear alongside other partners in the results. Because award space moves, run a few searches around your target dates before you commit.
Philippine Airlines gives Atmos Rewards members a direct, reasonably priced route into Southeast Asia. Business class from 75,000 points one-way is the headline, and the wide availability at launch makes it more than a theoretical deal.
If you fly out of Seattle, San Francisco, or Honolulu, you also get the lowest tier at 37,500 points in economy. Before you transfer or buy points, run the search first, because award space decides everything.
