In general yes. But check the fare bucket. Some may not be eligible. No idea about the various other LAN brands (Columbia, Ecuador, etc). Believe AS does not have one way awards (check)

You are allowed to find the Alaska airline web site by yourself @:-)
Google is your friend (as always). We like people contributing to the thread

With elite status comes various perks - access to lounges, expedited passage through airports, seat selections, upgrades, baggage allowances, etc. - that can be as important if not more important to frequent travelers. So those factors also need to be understood as you make your choices.

It involves homework and research, but the rewards can be very significant, well worth the effort. (Or so many of us think. Of course we can be both delusional and exhibit OCD symptoms in this regard. Welcome to the madhouse.)
