Summer is here but it’s never too early to start thinking about escaping to warm, sun-filled days this winter. Alaska Airlines is ready to help make those travel plans with the addition of three new routes just in time for the holidays: Portland-Miami begins service on Nov. 17, and Palm Springs-New York JFK and San Luis Obispo-Las Vegas flights start on Dec. 14. Tickets can be purchased now at alaskaair.com.

Portland-Miami

Alaska Airlines' flight connecting the West Coast to the East Coast will fly daily, year-round, beginning November 17. When service starts, Alaska Airlines will fly to 42 nonstop destinations from Portland with 96 peak-daily flights. Miami becomes the fourth Florida city the airline serves nonstop from Portland joining Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa. This new flight becomes Alaska Airlines' second nonstop to Miami; the airline began their Seattle-Miami route in June 2022.

Palm Springs-New York JFK

Alaska Airlines guests in Southern California are eager for more nonstops to the East Coast, and the airline is ready to take them there. This seasonal flight connects the Big Apple with sunny deserts. Alaska Airlines' convenient morning departure from New York allows flyers to arrive in Palm Springs refreshed and ready to get out and soak in the sun. Alaska has more flights to Palm Springs than any other airline.

San Luis Obispo-Las Vegas

Alaska Airlines loves connecting California guests in new ways. This daily route will link San Luis Obispo in California’s Central Coast region with Las Vegas, allowing for connectivity with additional routes in the airlines' network. From San Luis Obispo, Alaska Airlines also flies nonstop to San Diego, Portland and Seattle.

As Alaska Airlines announces these new routes, they begin new daily nonstop service on June 15, between San Diego and both Washington, D.C. (IAD) and Eugene, Oregon. Alaska Airlines will also start new daily nonstop service between San Diego and Tampa on October 5, when the airline flies to 35 nonstop destinations from San Diego.

Alaska Airlines' flights on mainline aircraft and regional jets offer a three-class cabin. Guests in First Class and Premium Class enjoy early boarding and the most generous legroom of all domestic carriers. With Alaska Airlines' award-winning service, their First Class offers complimentary hot meals based on a seasonal menu with a range of fresh, bright West Coast-inspired flavors along with a variety of beverages. Flyers in Premium Class can also take advantage of complimentary cocktails, hand-selected wines and local beers. 

With power outlets at every seat on Alaska Airlines' mainline aircraft, you can enjoy hundreds of free movies and TV shows that can be streamed inflight to your own devices. Flights are also enabled with streaming-fast satellite Wi-Fi available for purchase, as well as the option to pre-order from a range of fresh meal selections.
