Forgive me if this has been touched on before as I was unable to find any reference to it.

With the Virgin America and Alaska Airlines merger, does this mean Virgin Australia's partnership also extends (or will) to Alaska Airlines?

I have to US flights coming up and wondering if Alaska Airlines is an option.
 
Doesn't look like it - this is from a recent press release by Virgin America https://www.virginamerica.com/cms/a...rgin-america-share-vision-for-the-future.html




  • [*=left]The country's top-ranked frequent flier program – In 2018, Alaska Mileage Plan will become the sole loyalty program for both airlines, offering guests more rewards, an expansive global partner network and the only major airline loyalty program that still rewards a mile flown with a mile earned on Alaska and Virgin America flights. Members of Alaska Mileage Plan enjoy some of the most generous benefits in the industry including complimentary upgrades, award travel starting at 5,000 miles one-way (plus taxes and fees) and a faster path to elite status compared to other airlines. With Alaska and Alaska Global Partners, members can earn and redeem miles to more than 900 destinations worldwide.

Qantas is already a Global Partner with Alaska, and I can't find any mention anywhere of what will happen with the VA/VX arrangement. According to the press release, the VX name will be phased out in the next couple of years.​

It's very unlikely. Delta is already being ditched from the AS program as well. Hard to see why they would add VA.
