Bleh, well this is disappointing. Earlier I covered how the Alaska Airlines and Singapore Airlines partnership is being scaled back considerably. That’s not the only partnership where that’s happening, as it’s going to be a similar story for Alaska and LATAM. Thanks to Bjarne for flagging this.
As of October 1, 2025, the two airlines are ending reciprocal frequent flyer redemptions, so it’ll no longer be possible to redeem Alaska Atmos Rewards points for travel on LATAM, and vice versa.
Given that Alaska and Delta are basically at war in Seattle, I’m shocked that Delta hasn’t forced LATAM to end this partnership sooner. More broadly speaking, there are other reasons that partnerships like this could be scaled back, but I’d be surprised if that weren’t the primary motivation here.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
