Earlier this year, Alaska launched a new joint loyalty program with Hawaiian Airlines called Atmos™ Rewards. For this trip, I wanted to maximize the number of Atmos Rewards points that I could earn. One of the best ways to do that? It’s by booking a flight, hotel, and car as a bundle with Alaska Airlines Vacations

Long story short: not only could I earn Atmos points on the La Paz flights, but by booking a vacation package through Alaska, I could also receive rewards on the other parts of my getaway, too.  

Alaska Vacations has a selection of more than 900,000 hotels around the world, with the option to either earn or redeem Alaska points for any of them. For my two-night trip, I reserved a room at the lovely, design-forward Baja Club hotel, located right in the heart of town with a panoramic rooftop. 

I earned points for the flight, hotel, and rental car — getting me one step closer to redeeming for future travel on Alaska, Hawaiian or one of dozens of airline partners.
