Alaska Airlines’ newest route will connect two northwest communities with nonstop service this fall between Wenatchee, Washington’s Pangborn Memorial Airport (EAT) and Portland International Airport (PDX). As the only airline serving Wenatchee, this flight marks Alaska’s second nonstop destination from the Apple Capital of the World.

This new route reinforces the airline’s continued growth in Portland, building a major hub into a connecting complex for guests across the network. Guests flying from Wenatchee will be able to choose from more than 65 nonstop destinations from Portland, including Hawai‘i and Mexico. Tickets are available for purchase now at alaskaair.com.

Horizon Air, Alaska’s regional carrier, will serve the route once daily on its Embraer fleet. Alaska continues to lead the industry as the only airline in the world with its entire regional fleet equipped with Starlink Wi‑Fi. This summer, guests will sign into a new onboard Wi-Fi portal to access seamless, gate-to-gate connectivity for streaming and browsing. Atmos™ Rewards membership is free and allows guests to enjoy complimentary onboard Wi-Fi while earning points toward future travel.

Guests flying through Portland will be able to enjoy Alaska’s all-new Lounge, scheduled to open by this summer. With more than 14,000 square feet of space in a modern Pacific Northwest vibe, the Lounge delivers the hospitality Alaska is known for, along with premium amenities including a barista station, full-service bar, locally inspired food offerings, and great views of the runway and new terminal.
