    <post_title><![CDATA[Alaska adds Awards Table for Iberia]]></post_title>
    <post_content_short><![CDATA[Alaska is slowly further integrating with its Oneworld partners.<br />
<br />
Following the increase in code-shared routes with Iberia announced in early October, Alaska has now released its Partner Awards Table for
Iberia.<br />
<br />
At first glance it doesn't offer the exceptional value obtainable with other partners (especially for business and first class).<br />
<br />
Alaska seems to be retaining individual tables for its partners rather than a single unified table for all partners.  So the program may continue to offer gems of redemptions.<br />
<br />
There are still a few Oneworld partners that do not have tables in place, so keep watching this space.<br />
<ul>
	<li>Royal Air Maroc</li>
	<li>Royal Jordanian</li>
	<li>S7</li>
	<li>SriLankan Airlines</li>
	<li>Malaysia Airlines</li>
</ul>]]></post_content_short>

    <post_title><![CDATA[Alaska Airlines and Iberia launch new codeshare agreement]]></post_title>
    <post_content_short><![CDATA[<strong>Alaska Airlines</strong> yesterday further cemented its place as a member of the OneWorld alliance. 
<br /><br />
	Following on from its codeshare agreement announced in July 2021 with Qatar Airlines, Alaska has further expanded its global reach with the
	announcement of a new codeshare agreement with <strong>Iberia Airlines</strong>, providing flyers with exciting and convenient travel
	options.

<br /><br />
	The agreement allows passengers on Iberia to book travel and easily connect to more than 40 routes throughout Alaska's network effective October 7, 2021. Iberia operates three weekly return flights between Madrid and Los Angeles, using Airbus A-330-200s (and a seasonal service between San Francisco and Barcelona).  Iberia passengers
	can now connect to more than 20 additional routes on the West Coast and Hawaii served by Alaska Airlines, including Anchorage, Fresno, Honolulu, Kona, Las Vegas, Portland, Reno-Tahoe, Seattle-Tacoma and Salt Lake City.<br />
	<br />
	The partnership enables Alaska's Mileage Plan and Iberia Plus members to earn miles on each other's flights while
	enjoying reciprocal elite benefits, including preferred seat selection; priority check-in, security clearance and boarding; lounge access; and extra baggage allowance.]]></post_content_short>
