First announced in late October, Emirates’ codeshare agreement with Alaska Airlines gives Canadian travellers the simplicity of purchasing connecting flights on both airlines using one reservation, and a seamless ticketing, check-in, boarding and baggage check experience during the entire journey.
Passengers from Western Canada can purchase a single ticket on http://www.emirates.com/ca for their entire journey and passengers will also enjoy Emirate’s generous baggage allowance on all Alaska Airlines routes as well.
