As the largest carrier at Sonoma County
Airport since 2007, we're now offering service to seven nonstop
destinations
SEATTLE, March 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is deepening its
commitment to the San Francisco Bay
Area with convenient, nonstop service between California's wine country and Las Vegas beginning this fall. The daily,
year-round flight, which starts Oct.
1, is now the seventh nonstop destination from
Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport.
By this fall, Alaska will
operate 13 peak day departures, including nonstop service to
Los Angeles, Burbank, Orange
County, Seattle,
Portland, San Diego and now Las Vegas. Tickets for all routes are now
available for purchase at alaskaair.com.
"We feel a deep connection with Santa
Rosa – Alaska became the
first carrier to bring commercial service to Sonoma County Airport
nearly two decades ago – and we've remained the largest airline at
STS serving nearly 2 million guests since then," said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of network
planning and revenue management at Alaska Airlines. "As the only
airline serving all four Bay Area airports, including Santa Rosa, San
Francisco, San Jose and
Oakland, we can't wait to connect
guests between Santa Rosa and
Las Vegas and have them experience
our premium, award-winning service."
"We are thrilled with the addition of service from Alaska
Airlines to Las Vegas - this route
signifies not only our commitment to providing convenient travel
options, but also Alaska's
dedication to enhancing connectivity within our community," said
Jon Stout, airport manager at
Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport. "With the expansion of
Alaska's options, we are not just
opening up routes, we're opening doors to new opportunities and
experiences for our passengers. We look forward to the success of
this venture and the continued growth of our partnership with
Alaska Airlines."
"Las Vegas offers visitors a
wide variety of unparalleled experiences and attractions, from
world-class restaurants, A-list headliners and a full calendar of
sporting events, there is always something new and exciting for
travelers from the Northern
California's Wine Country to discover in Las Vegas," said H. Fletch Brunelle, vice
president of marketing for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors
Authority. "We are excited to welcome Alaska Airlines' newest
nonstop service from Sonoma County
to Las Vegas this fall."
When heading to Sonoma,
Alaska's guests can take advantage
of its Wine Flies Free program, which debuted in 2007 to make
it easier for travelers to bring home their favorite bottles of
wine from Santa Rosa/Sonoma County. Oftentimes, wineries are unable
to ship cases directly or consumers are faced with costly shipping
fees to transport wine. Alaska's
Wine Flies Free solves those challenges by offering each Mileage
Plan member the ability to check an entire case – up to 12
bottles of wine – for free.
The new route between Santa
Rosa/Sonoma and
Las Vegas will be served by the
Embraer 175 jet, an aircraft with window and aisle seating; there
are no middle seats. Guests will enjoy award-winning service in a
three-class cabin that includes First Class and Premium Class;
hundreds of free movies and TV shows available for viewing on
personal devices; free texting on most flights; and Wi-Fi
connectivity for purchase.
