V Australia New Partner?
Anybody here have any insight into this tidbit on V Australia's web page:

Partner Airlines
Name Description
Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines, Inc., an Alaska corporation founded in 1932, is noted for its award-winning customer service.

Here's the link to see for yourself. What I've cut and pasted is the extent of it. Originally alerted to it on the V Australia thread from earlier this year. Name Description

WOW interesting. I guess maybe if you cant beat the big red V try and join them....in Australia? Thats strange though because AS doesnt recognize this on their site. Is it maybe a 1 sided partnership

Ok... now I am confused...
Can QF and VA both be partners with AS... or like mentioned previously... a one-sided partnership?
No mention of VA on AS' partner airlines page...

I figured if an airline wanted to, they could 'partner' with AS, by allowing redemption with AS but not 'officially' being a partner, if they paid AS for the ticket (for the market rate - not exchanging travel... but cash...)
But I really have no idea

Virgin Australia is not a partner of AS. We set up special prorate fare agreements with nearly all international airlines to facilitate ease in booking on the international side (mainly through travel agencies). That's about as far as these relationships go. No codeshare, no MP partnership. It's odd that V Australia is even promoting this.
