Alaska
expands presence in California
with three new routes, connecting Pasco,
Washington, with Los
Angeles, and adds a new nonstop flight between Portland and Atlanta
SEATTLE, Oct. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is kicking off five
new nonstop routes. Beginning today, guests can travel between
Las Vegas and both San Diego and Santa
Rosa/Sonoma County, and
between Los Angeles and both
Pasco, Washington, and
Reno. We're also resuming our
nonstop service between Portland
and Atlanta.
"Travel demand continues to be strong, and we are excited to
provide our guests with more options for their next business trip
or autumn getaway," said Kirsten
Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network
planning at Alaska Airlines. "With the addition of these new
nonstop routes, we also continue to strengthen our presence
throughout the state of California
and connect Pacific Northwest communities with our broader
network."
Expanding connectivity with our Los
Angeles hub
With the launch of two new flights from
Los Angeles, Alaska officially offers the most daily
flights to West Coast destinations of any airline from LAX. The
return of a guest-favorite flight between Los Angeles and Reno operates twice daily. We're excited to
bring another nonstop option to guests traveling with us from
Pasco, which operates once daily
to LAX. Both routes are flown with our Embraer 175 jet, an aircraft
boasting only window and aisle seating; there are no middle
seats.
Vegas is now on the bingo card for Santa Rosa/Sonoma
County and San
Diego
Las
Vegas marks our 39th nonstop destination from San Diego, enhancing options for residents in
southern California and cementing
our title as the airline serving the most nonstop destinations from
San Diego. For Santa Rosa, the destination offers an easy
stop en route to Mexico for our
Bay Area guests, while Las Vegas
residents are now a hop, skip and a jump away from wine country.
Alaska guests collecting cabs or
procuring pinots can also take advantage of our
Wine Flies Free program, which helps consumers avoid
costly shipping fees by offering each Mileage
Plan member the ability to check an entire case – up to
12 bottles of wine – for free. Service on this route operates once
daily. Both routes are served by an Embraer 175
aircraft.
Bringing back service from Portland to Atlanta
Just in time
for guests to flee the rain or experience the seasons, we are
excited to reopen our cross-country route between Portland and Atlanta, which will operate once daily on a
Boeing 737-900. Guests can enjoy the Portland airport's spectacular new terminal,
including our transformed Alaska
lobby area, which uses proprietary technology to speed travelers to
security in 5 minutes or less.
