Austin–Seattle Flights
This route runs from Austin (AUS) to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Alaska Airlines and Delta both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Airbus A220-100 and Boeing 737-900 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 5% of the total.
Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Booking Austin–Seattle with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The economy floor is an Alaska Airlines nonstop booked through its own program, which means the fewest points and no connection. Expect about $6 in taxes and fees on top, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Business runs about 3.6 times the economy price. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
Best Points & Miles Programs
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 10,000 points on an Alaska Airlines nonstop. Air France-KLM Flying Blue is cheapest in business class at 36,000 points on a Delta nonstop. American AAdvantage lists first class from 25,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Watch the first-class routing: it lands at John F. Kennedy (JFK) and leaves from Newark (EWR).
Airlines & Routing Options
On points, Austin–Seattle has nonstop seats from Alaska Airlines (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam), which puts partner programs from both alliances in play for a nonstop. When nonstop space is gone, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas/Fort Worth. The business-class floor is a SkyTeam partner award: Air France-KLM Flying Blue prices the Delta nonstop. Only four airlines hold award inventory on the route, yet seven programs price them, so the competition is between currencies more than carriers.
Alternative Airports & Routes
Neither Austin nor Seattle shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the live price table above is the one to watch. The return, Seattle to Austin, has its own page, since award pricing can differ by direction. Flexible on where you land? Austin to Cancun starts from 7,500 points at last check.
Booking tips
- 1Search flexible dates first, since saver award seats can appear on scattered days.
- 2Compare partner programs before transferring points, since the same seat can price very differently.
- 3Check both direct and connecting options when direct award seats are limited.
- 4Book early for peak travel periods, when saver space disappears fastest.
- 5Recheck availability often, since airlines may release more award seats closer to departure.
