If you're a frequent flyer or simply want to stay organized, adding flights to your Alaska Airlines account is a smart way to manage your upcoming trips, earn Mileage Plan points, and access your travel details in one place. Whether you booked directly with Alaska Airlines or through a third party, this guide walks you through every method to ensure your flights show up correctly under your profile.

Step 1: Sign In to Your Mileage Plan Account

Before you can manage or view flights, you need to be logged into your Mileage Plan account. Visit the Alaska Airlines website and click on the “Sign In” button in the top right corner.

If you don’t already have a Mileage Plan account, you can create one in just a few minutes. This free loyalty program helps you track flights, earn miles, and enjoy member-only perks.

Step 2: Automatically Add Flights at Booking

The easiest way to add a flight to your account is by booking while logged in. When you reserve your ticket while signed in, the flight is automatically associated with your profile. You’ll see the reservation listed under “My Trips.”

Pro Tip: Always double-check the spelling of your name and email address to ensure proper syncing.

 Step 3: Manually Add a Flight to Your Account

If you booked a flight but didn’t sign in during the process—or used a travel agent or third-party site—you can still add it manually:

1. Log into your Alaska Airlines account.
   
   

2. Go to the “My Trips” section.
   
   

3. Click on “Add a flight reservation.”
   
   

4. Enter the confirmation code and last name exactly as they appear on your ticket.
   
   

5. Submit the form and your flight should now appear on your dashboard.
   
   

This is helpful if you booked through sites like Expedia or Kayak.

🧳 Step 4: Add Past Flights (Mileage Credit)

If you forgot to add your Mileage Plan number during booking or check-in, don’t worry—you can still claim miles for past flights.

• Go to the Mileage Plan section of the Alaska Airlines site.
  
  

• Click “Request mileage credit.”
  
  

• Fill in the necessary flight information.
  
  

• For Alaska flights, wait 7 days before requesting.
  
  

• For partner flights, such as Turkish Airlines, wait up to 14 days and then use their online credit request system.
  
  

This brings us to a common related question—how do other airlines manage bookings? For example, the Turkish Airlines Manage Booking portal lets you change flights, select seats, or add services before departure. Similarly, Alaska Airlines provides a streamlined experience through your account dashboard, letting you do most changes online.

📱 Step 5: Use the Mobile App

Alaska Airlines' mobile app is another easy way to manage and view flights. Once logged in:

• Tap “Trips.”
  
  

• Your upcoming flights will be listed.
  
  

• Tap a flight to view, modify, or cancel.
  
  

You can also enable notifications for gate changes, delays, and more. 

📋 Final Notes

Keeping your flights linked to your Mileage Plan account helps you stay on top of your travel schedule and maximize rewards. If a flight isn’t appearing, use the manual addition method or contact Alaska Airlines customer service for help.
