Atmos Rewards — the loyalty program run by Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines — has published its October Members Day lineup, and the headline figure is hard to ignore: one-way award flights from the US to Seoul starting at 20,000 points plus $6 in taxes and fees.
The offer comes through the programme's monthly Global Getaways promotion, which covers travel between 15 January and 8 March 2027. Booking opens now and closes on 10 October 2026, and while that sounds like a long runway, the cheapest award seats tend to vanish fast once members start booking.
Six destinations feature this month. Seoul is the cheapest at 20,000 points, followed by Helsinki, Munich and Paris at 25,000 points each, then Sapporo in Japan and Stavanger in Norway at 30,000 points. The Seoul deal works from multiple US gateways — the report found 20,000-point availability on most dates from both Seattle and Los Angeles when writing. Some European itineraries, such as New York to Stavanger, run on partner airlines, and the taxes and fees rise accordingly ($34 in that case — though holders of the Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite card pay just $14 thanks to the card's partner booking fee waiver).
To book, log in on the Alaska Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines website, tick the 'Use points' box and search your dates as normal.
Members Day isn't only about flights. The Atmos Unlocked marketplace has added ski-and-stay packages, heli-skiing, golf trips and culinary experiences this month. The standout redemption: 65,000 points buys a 2026-27 Ikon Base Pass, while 100,000 points gets the full Ikon Pass plus $100 in mountain credits — both including a free day of ski butler service with a two-day equipment rental. Those redemptions close on 21 October.
Worth knowing for status chasers: award tickets booked through this promo earn status points, so a winter trip to Seoul or Sapporo could double as a head start on 2027 elite status. Points can be earned by flying either airline or 30-plus partners, via the cobranded credit cards (welcome offers currently run from 50,000 to 70,000 bonus points), or by transferring Bilt points at 1:1 and Marriott Bonvoy at 3:1.
This is a genuinely good deal for flexible travellers — Seoul for 20,000 points one-way is well below typical transpacific award pricing, and the January-to-March window suits anyone chasing ski season in Japan or shoulder-season city breaks in Europe. Just don't wait: low-level availability on these promotions rarely lasts.
