Are you confused about the new mileage program for Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines after the merger? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! This post about the Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards program was written by Hawaii travel expert Marcie Cheung and contains affiliate links,

Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines today introduced Atmos Rewards — a combined loyalty program that is one of the major consumer-­facing milestones since Alaska Air Group’s $1.9 billion acquisition on Sept. 18 of Hawaiian Holdings, parent company of Hawaiian Airlines.

Alaska Airlines is launching a $395-a-year rewards credit card as it joins the industry's race for high-spending customers. It is also launching a combined loyalty program with Hawaiian Airlines, called Atmos, and raising requirements for elite status. Alaska acquired Hawaiian last year and plans to keep the two brands operating separately.
