Alaska Airlines is offering an opportunity for University of California (UC) travelers to gain MVP premier status through the end of 2023. You will be required to register with your official UC email address (see promotion details below). Once registered, travelers will automatically get MVP status and those already with status will advance one level (up to MVP Gold 75K).

The UC and MVP benefits can be combined, but only if tickets are booked with any of UC’s preferred agencies (including Anthony Travel, Balboa Travel, BCD Travel and UCLA Travel Center). 

While UC’s contract with Alaska offers priority boarding, access to free preferred seats and potential for premium class upgrades at the airport (based on availability), MVP status provides at least TWO free checked bags and express security line at select airports. This may present a significant cost savings benefit for those traveling on longer flights across the country where luggage and seating are of importance. We encourage you to register today.
