Peak ski season is well underway, and travelers flying with Alaska Airlines can enjoy free lift tickets at select resorts across the U.S. and Canada — just by showing their same-day boarding passes.
“For Mileage Plan members, the perks extend beyond your flight,” the airline shared about the promotion on its website. “Throughout the 2024-2025 season, you can unlock exclusive benefits at our partner resorts. Whatever world-class mountain you decide to ride next, our network and global partnerships network are your ticket to the best winter resorts in the world.”
Alaska Airlines passengers can take advantage of same-day lift tickets at select U.S. ski resorts by flying into the following airports:
For a few Canadian resorts, the free lift ticket promotions come with added flexibility. For instance, passengers flying into Kelowna International Airport (YLW) can use their free lift ticket at Sun Peaks Resort on the day of arrival or the following day.
Those landing at Edmonton International Airport (YEG) or Calgary International Airport (YYC) have up to 21 days from their flight to redeem their ticket at Ski Marmot Basin Resort. Meanwhile, travelers heading to Red Mountain Resort, accessible via Spokane International Airport (GEG), can use their lift tickets on any day of the ski season, provided the boarding pass is presented at the resort within 10 days of the flight.
Certain promotions may include additional restrictions, such as limits on how many times you can redeem free lift tickets during the season or specific blackout dates during peak travel times. Ski season typically extends through mid to late April, depending on the resort, and some locations may also offer perks like free equipment rentals or discounts on gear.

Planning a last-minute winter (or early spring) vacation just got cheaper when flying with Alaska Airlines — but these deals won’t last much longer.
I travel often and have only flown economy. However, faced with long-haul flights from the East Coast of the US to Hawaii, I decided to spring for first-class tickets.
Let’s start with perception versus reality. The perception might be that Edmonton, Alberta — the northernmost city in North America with a population of over one million — would be shy on delivering all the things travelers are looking for in these days of immersive experiences. Let’s face it — this Canadian city flies under the radar.
Imagine my surprise when I recently received emails from both Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines offering a generous extension of trip credits in my account. Both letters read that the credits had just had their expiration extended by five years.
