Wednesday, July 10, 2024

Alaska Airlines is committed to elevating your travel experience this winter with the introduction of 18 new routes to both sun-drenched international locations and enchanting winter retreats, offering a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Tickets are available starting the evening of July 10 on alaskaair.com.

“We’re thrilled to offer convenient connection for guests across our network with this expansion – whether checking destinations off their bucket lists or setting off to their favorite winter getaways; we’ve put together an exciting range of options from tropical destinations across Mexico to the most popular ski slopes in North America,” said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of network planning and revenue management at Alaska Airlines.

Our winter expansion introduces 18 new nonstop routes, presenting guests with opportunities for warm-weather escapes and dream winter getaways, including our inaugural service to Vail, Colorado.

We’re excited to provide greater access to some of the world’s premier ski destinations this winter, featuring our first-ever service to the stunning Vail, Colorado from San Diego and Seattle. Snow sports enthusiasts will also enjoy new nonstop service from Los Angeles to Kelowna, central British Columbia’s renowned ski resorts, and from San Diego to Reno, providing convenient access to Lake Tahoe’s ski resorts.

For those who love adventure and exploration, we are adding new winter-seasonal service between Boise and Bozeman, the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, and introducing year-round service between Boise and Santa Ana, near California’s beloved theme park. Additionally, we will launch flights to Orlando from Boise and Sacramento for guests looking to escape the winter chill and enjoy Florida’s warm weather and amusement parks.

Our guests’ preference for sun-soaked destinations, especially in colder months, is clear. This winter, we proudly maintain our status as the largest U.S. carrier between the West Coast and Latin America with new nonstop service to Liberia, Costa Rica from San Francisco and Seattle, marking our 104th nonstop route from Seattle. We began flying to Liberia in 2015 and are thrilled to connect even more West Coast travelers with Costa Rica’s Gold Coast.

To meet the growing leisure demand for warm destinations in winter, we are expanding service to popular Mexican vacation spots. We will be the first U.S. carrier to offer daily flights between Fresno and Guadalajara with our mainline aircraft, increase our presence in Los Cabos with five weekly nonstop flights from Sacramento, provide the only nonstop service between New York state and Puerto Vallarta, and more.

Last week, we announced that we will be the only U.S. airline to offer service to La Paz, Mexico, and the only carrier to fly between Monterrey, Mexico, and Los Angeles.

Whether traveling for leisure or business, our guests can enjoy a premium travel experience on any Alaska flight with no change fees, the most legroom in First Class and Premium Class, the most generous Mileage Plan with the quickest path to elite status, high-quality West Coast-inspired cuisine, and a premium beverage selection.
