SEATTLE, Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines,
the Seattle-area's hometown
airline, announced today new daily nonstop service from Paine
Field-Snohomish County Airport in Everett, Washington. When commercial service
begins at the airport in the fall, Alaska will offer 13 nonstop departures to
eight cities every day with premium service and low fares, further
working to become the go-to airline for anyone living on the West
Coast.
Alaska's all-jet service will
connect Paine Field to Las Vegas;
Los Angeles; Orange County, California; Phoenix; Portland; San
Diego; San Francisco; and
San Jose, California. Flight
frequencies for each destination along with departure and arrival
times will be announced later in 2018, subject to government
approval.
With Alaska's new service from
Paine Field, those looking to catch a flight north of Seattle and all around the North Sound (home
to more than 1 million people) will have a new travel option closer
to home. That'll mean less driving to go farther south, saving time
and fuel.

Airlines. We are excited to be able to continue our commitment to
the State of Washington and the
Pacific Northwest," said Andrew
Harrison, Alaska Airlines' chief commercial officer. "We're
