This is a great example of how the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program is a great way of snagging excellent value redemptions with other Oneworld member airlines such as American Airlines and British Airways.

In this case, you can fly nonstop across the Pond to London in a lie-flat bed on an American Airlines or British Airways plane for just 45,000. While taxes on these awards traveling business class with British Airways can cost up to $996, flying with American Airlines incur only $19 in taxes and fees — here are the details:

Class: Business
Route: Boston (BOS), New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), Philadelphia (PHL), and Newark (EWR) to London Heathrow (LHR) or London Gatwick (LGW)
Flight Number: Various
Cost: From 45,000 Alaska Mileage Plan miles + $19
Travel Dates: February 2025 through January 2026

Another great thing about redeeming flights through Alaska Mileage Plan is the handy and easy-to-use availability calendar which shows all the dates with availability — and the price — on a monthly basis.

Since these fares are over $3,000 if paid in cash, you save a nice amount even with the higher taxes and fees on some awards.
