50% Bonus on Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Miles Purchase and Why it Still Makes Sense - until 30 December 2019
Celebrate the upcoming holiday season with a 50% bonus on Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles purchase made before 30 December 2019 (11:59 PM PST). While it is now no longer possible to add a stopover on intra-Asia awards made using Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles (therefore making that 'return trip' on JAL using just 25,000 miles impossible), it is still a good idea to buy these miles if you have good plans for them.

Shortly after I wrote about the negative changes to the program, I followed up with an article explaining why crediting my revenue flights to the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program still makes plenty of sense - remember you can earn both Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles (as well as elite status on the program) and PPS Value at the same time once you have linked your accounts.

There are plenty of reasons to continue crediting your flights to the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program (as opposed to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer) and one of the most compelling reasons for me to do so is because it is not always good to put all your eggs into one basket. Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles are still good for Business Class flights between Singapore and Japan (it is now a good deal and not a fantastic deal) - 25,000 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles each way as compared to 47,000 KrisFlyer Miles on Singapore Airlines.
Planning a beach day can seem simple, but unexpected issues often arise. Mornington Peninsula’s beaches are popular, which means dealing with potential crowds, fluctuating weather, and poor preparation can easily ruin your outing. Arriving late might lead to parking challenges, and picking the wrong beach can limit your planned activities. Many forget important items that could make or break their beach experience, leading to stress and missed opportunities for relaxation.
