In an interesting customer-centric move, Alaska Airlines is increasing service to popular sun spots this winter with choices for nearly any vacation itinerary. It is, for example, increasing service to Florida with eight daily nonstop flights offered aboard Alaska’s Boeing 737-900ER aircraft. These planes feature power at every seat, lots of movies, comfort in premium cabins, and award-winning service.
The airline will also offer:
- A second daily flight between Seattle and Tampa starting December 19
- A second daily flight between Seattle and Fort Lauderdale starting November 5
- A second peak day flight between Portland and Orlando starting January 7
- A third peak day flight between Seattle and Orlando starting January 7
Additionally, the airline will increase frequency of service to Hawaii with the introduction of a third daily flight between Seattle and Maui (starting November 21). A third daily flight between Seattle and Honolulu was also added recently. Alaska is investing in service to Palm Springs as well, with 10 peak daily departures to the California resort city from the Pacific Northwest. These departures will include a third daily flight between Portland and Palm Springs starting January 7 and a new daily flight between Everett (Paine Field) and Palm Springs starting November 5.
Furthermore, Alaska Airlines is expanding access between Seattle and Bozeman, Montana, starting January 7. It will add a fourth peak day flight to this popular ski destination. Alaska is the only airline to offer daily, year-round service between Seattle and Bozeman.
“As the leading airline in the Pacific Northwest, we’re excited to offer even more service to sun-soaked locales this winter,” says Brett Catlin, Alaska Airlines Managing Director of Alliances and Capacity Planning. “Whether it’s a weekend getaway to Palm Springs or the trip of a lifetime to Asia, Alaska, together with our global partners, is proud to offer more nonstops to more destinations than any other carrier serving Seattle.”
