Alaska Mileage Plan

Research only. The integration fetches live award availability today, and it is the only one that can.

Research onlyAll programs

Alaska is the one program whose award search we can actually perform. Its results are fetched directly from the program's own award search with an ordinary HTTPS request and a truthful user agent — no browser automation, no extension, no human step, and nothing that evades an access control. Verified returning a full result set on 20 August 2026.

It is nevertheless research only, and the reason is worth being precise about, because it is not a technical one. We hold no licence from Alaska. Our internal rights record for this program is a development-scope research approval signed by this project's owner, and it says in its own text that it is not a carrier grant. It forbids redistribution. Selling searches against it would be exactly the quiet routing-around that our rights gate exists to prevent.

So the honest position is that the plumbing works and the permission does not exist. Those are separate problems and we will not let progress on the first imply progress on the second. If Alaska grants written permission, this page changes before anything else does.

The integration

What the adapter reads

Each item is a field the parser extracts and a test asserts on. Anything not on this list is not something we can report.

  • Itinerary structure: origin, destination, every segment, and the operating carrier on each.
  • Cabin per priced product, so a mixed-cabin itinerary is labelled mixed rather than described by its best leg.
  • Atmos Points totals and the separate cash component.
  • Exact remaining seat counts per cabin, where Alaska states them.

The gaps

What this program cannot tell you

Listed on the same page, at the same size, as the capabilities. A limitation you have to go looking for is a limitation you will not find in time.

  • Whether a seat will still exist when you reach Alaska's booking page. Award inventory can disappear between an observation and a booking attempt.
  • Anything about partner availability that Alaska's own award search does not surface.
  • When Alaska itself last refreshed the answer. The program does not publish that, so we do not claim it.
  • Whether you personally are eligible. Membership status and points transfers are decided by the program, not by us.

How seat counts arrive

Alaska publishes an exact remaining-seat count per priced cabin, and we pass that figure through unchanged. Where it declines to give a number, we say unknown rather than inferring one.

How old an observation is

Alaska does not publish a last-checked timestamp of its own, so results carry our fetch time and say plainly that the program's own clock is unavailable. We never present our fetch time as though it were the airline's.

Booking

Bookings are completed on Alaska's own site. We never hold inventory, never place a hold and never take payment for a reward seat.
