Alaska Airlines Group Inc (NYSE: ALK<\/a>)<\/strong> is welcoming a new global airline partner: Porter Airlines, a growing Canadian carrier that begins its inaugural nonstop service between Toronto and both Los Angeles and San Francisco in January. Those flights, along with flights connecting on Alaska across our West Coast network, can be purchased later today at alaskaair.com<\/a>. Mileage Plan members who buy Porter flights on our website also earn at least 100% of the miles flown and 100% elite-qualifying miles.<\/p>\n

Porter\u2019s new routes will link Los Angeles and San Francisco to Canada\u2019s largest city and beyond with connections to destinations across Eastern Canada including Montreal, Ottawa and Halifax. Porter will fly the Embraer E195-E2 aircraft between California and Toronto, which is known for its quieter flying and greater fuel efficiency than previous generation technology.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Porter is Alaska\u2019s 30th<\/sup> global partner airline. Porter\u2019s daily nonstop service between Los Angeles-Toronto begins on Jan. 16 with the airline\u2019s operations conveniently located alongside Alaska\u2019s gates at Terminal 6 at LAX. Porter\u2019s San Francisco-Toronto service will launch the following week on Jan. 25. Porter is now selling flights with Alaska connections on its website.<\/p>\n

Alaska and Porter will continue to strengthen our partnership next year. Coming in 2024, Mileage Plan and VIPorter members will earn miles in their respective loyalty programs no matter where they book their flights. Next year will bring even more benefits with access to mileage redemptions with enhanced availability for both Mileage Plan and VIPorter members on each other\u2019s airline.<\/p>\n
