Alaska Airlines announced a new codeshare agreement with Iberia Airlines that strengthens the existing partnership between the two carriers by providing travelers with exciting and convenient flight options.
The agreement allows passengers on Iberia to book travel and connect to more than 40 routes throughout Alaska's network, starting October 7. The American carrier launched its partnership with the Spanish airline on March 31, the same day it became a member of the oneworld global alliance.
On the West Coast, Iberia has nonstop service between Los Angeles and its Madrid hub and seasonal service between San Francisco and Barcelona, enabling seamless connectivity to the Alaska network beyond both California cities.
"We're thrilled to expand our cooperation with Iberia, one of our newest partners in oneworld," Alaska Airlines senior vice president Nat Pieper said. "Alaska joined oneworld to efficiently link our network to the world, and this enhanced partnership with Iberia brings Europe one step closer."
Alaska passengers can also earn and redeem miles with its highly-acclaimed Mileage Plan program to fly on more than 20 oneworld and partner airlines.
Earlier this summer, Alaska announced it would introduce new touch-free options to keep passengers safe and help curb the possible spread of COVID-19, such as pre-ordering meals, purchasing food and beverages using a stored credit card and printing bag tags to avoid check-in kiosks.
