is alaska mileage worth more or does it "cost" more than other mileage?
i'm finding a flight from dc-lax on alaska air for 20,000 one way in coach class.
is that the same value as like on American Airlines for example?

i haven't used alaska points before.
thanks in advance for any help

Alaska mileage has a higher value than American due to the fact that American miles #Suck after the recent devaluation.

thanks!

one more question - if I'm transfering SPG miles to Alaska, what would you say is the average amount of days for them to appear in my Alaska account?

Now that Alaska has bought Virgin america and virgin atlantic no longer offers reward redemption on virgin america, what is the best way to get a virgin america miles ticket?
