Alaska Airlines and American Airlines aircraft.
Members of Alaska’s Mileage Plan program can now earn miles when flying on any one of Oneworld’s 14 member airlines. Besides Alaska, that list includes American, British Airways, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Qantas, Malaysia Airlines, Japan Airlines, Iberia, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian Airlines, S7 Airlines, and SriLankan Airlines.
