Kirsten Amrine, Vice President of Network Planning and Revenue Management at Alaska Airlines, said:
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.”
Anthony’s Take: Alaska is certainly making it easier for west coast flyers to get to the sun and slopes this winter. These 18 additions will give travelers lots of options this winter (in addition to its already robust schedule).
