Is your Alaska companion fare worth using?

The discount is only useful if it beats what you would otherwise pay. Put your trip through the math.

Your trip, in dollars

Use totals for the whole itinerary—both directions for a round trip. The starting amounts are an example, not a fare quote.

Primary traveler’s eligible ticket, including taxes

Use the primary ticket price shown when applying your companion code.

Companion base fare

Companion taxes & fees

Taxes and fees start at $23. Replace this example with your checkout amount.

What would you pay for TWO tickets without the code?

Optional. Compare similar bags, seats and schedules, even on another airline. Include taxes. Leave blank to estimate twice the primary ticket price; actual two-seat pricing can differ.

Also test whether this trip covers my card costs

Leave these off if you already have the code and are deciding whether to use it. Include them when judging the card’s value.

Subtract the annual feeAnnual fee to count

Other costs or rewards you give up

Optional: lost rewards from moving spending to qualify, or extra costs not already in your tickets. Count only the difference; do not subtract your whole qualifying spend.

EXAMPLE RESULT

Your trip savings

$378

Less than buying two $500 tickets.

Two tickets without the code: $1,000
Primary ticket + companion fare + taxes: $622
Card costs included: $0
Trip savings before card costs: $378

The two-ticket alternative must cost more than $622 for the companion fare to save money.

An estimate using your numbers. No live fares, code validation or award availability. No points or baggage savings are assumed.

The catch is what you compare it with.

Suppose the eligible ticket costs $500 and the companion pays $99 plus $23 in taxes. Together, that is $622. Compared with two $500 tickets, you save $378. But if another flight you would actually take costs $700 for two, you save only $78. Count a $95 annual fee against that trip and you are $17 behind.

The annual fee changes the card-value calculation. It does not change the cash you pay at checkout if you already hold the card. Other card benefits can have value too; this tool does not guess what they are worth to you.

Which companion benefit is this?

This estimates the cash Companion Fare associated with Atmos Rewards Ascent, formerly the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card. It does not calculate Summit’s points-based Global Companion Award.

The advertised cash fare is $99 plus taxes and fees from $23. The current Ascent offer lists a $95 annual fee and $6,000 of purchases in the prior anniversary year for the annual companion fare. Your account or code may have different terms. Confirm your code’s expiration, eligible itinerary and payment requirements before booking.
