We've also added new nonstop routes that
connect Boise to Idaho Falls and Las
Vegas; new nonstop flight between Anchorage and Salt
Lake City starts service this weekend
SEATTLE, June 16,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the official start of
summer just days away, Alaska Airlines is once again expanding our
horizons with the launch of five new routes this week as many of us
are eager for fun in the sun in different places.
We're now flying to two new cities: Cleveland and Miami with daily nonstop service from our
hometown hub in Seattle. Plus, we
keep growing in Boise with new
nonstops to both Idaho Falls and
Las Vegas. And we have a new
nonstop flight between Anchorage
and Salt Lake City.
"Northeast Ohio, South Florida, southern Idaho – we're flying new routes and heading to
new destinations where our guests want to go," said Brett
Catlin, vice president of network and alliances at Alaska Airlines.
"We're seeing strong tickets sales for all our new nonstops. That's
another indication that so many of us are ready to get out and go
places."
Tickets for all flights are available for purchase on
alaskaair.com.
We begin flying between Seattle
and Cleveland today. This summer,
we're the only airline connecting the vibrant city in Northeast Ohio with nonstop service to the
Pacific Northwest. Cleveland
becomes the third city we'll serve in the Buckeye State with daily
nonstops to Seattle joining
Columbus and Cincinnati.
"We are truly excited to welcome Alaska Airlines to the
Cleveland Market," said Robert
Kennedy, Director of Airports, Cleveland Hopkins
International Airport. "It's great to see this exceptional air
service to Seattle that will
connect Clevelander's to West Coast cities, Hawaii, western Canada and Alaska."
We're also launching today our new daily nonstop flight between
Seattle and Miami. The popular South Florida vacation spot becomes our
100th nonstop destination from Seattle – a cultural hub for travelers around
the world with its incredible nightlife, art, music, architecture
and food. Since 2012, we've provided nonstop service between
Seattle and Fort Lauderdale, just to the north of
Miami.
"We proudly welcome Alaska Airlines back to Miami International Airport for the first time
in 10 years," said Miami-Dade
County Mayor Daniella Levine
Cava. "Daily flights to the Pacific Northwest and beyond
will give our residents more travel options, especially to the
beautiful state of Alaska. I also
commend Alaska Airlines for being included in TIME Magazine's
list of the 100 Most Influential Companies of
2022 for its work in sustainability, one of my highest
priorities for Miami-Dade
County."
In Boise, we keep
growing with a pair of new flights we know our guests have
been eager to see. Starting today, we now offer daily nonstop
service to both Idaho Falls and
Las Vegas from the Idaho capital city. With these additional
routes, we'll fly an average of 31 daily departures
from Boise to 15 destinations – all nonstop.
Our flight between Idaho
Falls and Boise will offer an easier, more
convenient way to travel for business and leisure. The flight times
work out well for a day trip from Idaho
Falls to Boise: a mid-morning departure and then a return
flight in the early evening. The added route joins our existing
flights from the Spokane/Coeur
d'Alene and Pullman/Moscow areas to link all key
population centers across the state to Boise,
"We are thrilled this moment has become a reality for our great
community," said Idaho Falls Mayor
Rebecca Casper. "Providing this
nonstop flight to Boise opens up
greater economic opportunities through the only intrastate
commercial airline service."
Starting June 18, we'll connect
two summertime spots that are famous for outdoor adventures:
Anchorage and Salt Lake City. We'll fly nonstop every week.
This summer, we'll offer a wide variety of 22 nonstop destinations
from Anchorage.
