If you want to use miles for this same one-way flight, it’ll cost 7,500 miles plus $46 in taxes and fees.

The return flights for this journey are a bit more expensive, with the cheapest option coming in at $136.

This brings the overall round-trip cost to about $234.

These prices apply to Alaska’s Saver fare, which includes one carry-on bag and one personal item. However, these kinds of tickets are nonrefundable, and you won’t be able to change your reservation or select a seat.
