Book direct through Aloha's Website and enter your *alliance number, you will get a better price than booking through the actual *alliance website you are a member of.
If booking awards on Aloha, your *alliance airline specific 800 number is the way to go, but you will generally be made to wait 24 hours so that Aloha can confirm that the awards booked by your *alliance airline are valid.
