To search for available dates, you can use a tool like Seats.aero, which provides a big-picture overview across a range of dates and airports.

You can also fly from the East Coast for as little as 55,000 miles for a one-way award.

Best Ways To Book

Your best price comes from redeeming Alaska Airlines miles.

Alaska miles used to be difficult to earn, but they’ve become easier as they’ve added bank transfer partners. As of now, you can transfer Bilt Rewards over to Alaska Airlines at a 1:1 ratio.t

Those who have American Express Membership Rewards can also take advantage of a roundabout transfer method to convert their Amex points to Alaska miles. First, they’ll need to transfer their Amex points over to Hawaiian Airlines. From there, they can convert those Hawaiian Airlines miles to Alaska Airlines miles. It’s a little convoluted, but it works. This is done at a 1:1 ratio.
