Alaska Airlines is kicking off five new nonstop routes. Beginning today, guests can travel between Las Vegas and both San Diego and Santa Rosa/Sonoma County, and between Los Angeles and both Pasco, Washington, and Reno. We’re also resuming our nonstop service between Portland and Atlanta.
With the launch of two new flights from Los Angeles, Alaska officially offers the most daily flights to West Coast destinations of any airline from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The return of a guest-favorite flight between Los Angeles and Reno operates twice daily.
We’re excited to bring another nonstop option to guests traveling with us from Pasco, which operates once daily to LAX. Both routes are flown with our Embraer 175 jet, an aircraft boasting only window and aisle seating; there are no middle seats.
Vegas is now on the bingo card for Santa Rosa/Sonoma County and San Diego
Las Vegas marks our 39th nonstop destination from San Diego, enhancing options for residents in southern California and cementing our title as the airline serving the most nonstop destinations from San Diego.
For Santa Rosa, the destination offers an easy stop en route to Mexico for our Bay Area guests, while Las Vegas residents are now a hop, skip and a jump away from wine country. Alaska guests collecting cabs or procuring pinots can also take advantage of our Wine Flies Free program, which helps avoid costly shipping fees by offering each Mileage Plan member the ability to check an entire case — up to 12 bottles of wine — for free. Service on this route operates once daily. Both routes are served by an Embraer 175 aircraft.
Bringing back service from Portland to Atlanta
Just in time for guests to flee the rain or experience the seasons, we are excited to reopen our cross-country route between Portland and Atlanta, which will operate once daily on a Boeing 737-900. Guests can enjoy the Portland airport’s spectacular new terminal, including our transformed Alaska lobby area, which uses proprietary technology to speed travelers to security in 5 minutes or less.
Committed to providing a premium experience

It’s not time to hang up the mitts just yet, because we’re announcing a new aircraft that hits it out of the park!
Celebrating our longstanding partnership (since 2001) with our favorite Major League Baseball team, we’re proud to unveil the Seattle Mariners aircraft that will take to the skies on Friday, Sept. 27, just in time for the Mariners Fan Appreciation Day.
The design, displayed on a Boeing 737-9 MAX (N710AL), features the Seattle Mariners logo, Mariner Moose, and the famous line “Fly, Fly Away” commemorating longtime Mariners broadcaster and Hall of Famer Dave Niehaus.
“As the hometown team, the Mariners are thrilled to partner with the hometown airline on this exciting new Alaska Airlines plane! We know our fans will be thrilled to see the plane in the skies above T-Mobile Park and excited with the opportunity to Fly, Fly Away aboard the Mariners-themed plane.”
– Chris Voigt
Seattle Mariners Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships.
This is the second iteration of a Mariners-themed aircraft, and the new design will fly throughout our network until 2026. The plane’s tail number, #N710AL, is also a nod to the Official Radio Station of the team, Seattle Sports 710, who broadcasts all Mariners games throughout the Pacific Northwest.
“As Seattle’s hometown airline, we’re excited to launch one of the most requested custom livery designs we’ve had over the past few years– a new Seattle Mariners Boeing 737. This aircraft represents an exciting opportunity to show our Seattle spirit and celebrate our baseball team not only during the season but year-round,” said Eric Edge, managing director of Marketing and Advertising, Alaska Airlines.
Our partnership with the Seattle Mariners also includes:
Interactive moments and promotions with fans during home games.
Every Friday game at T-Mobile Park, we present “Fly, Fly Away Fridays.” This recurring event provides fans the chance to win First Class tickets and MVP status from Alaska when the Mariners hit a 5th-inning home run.
Fans can also earn 5x miles when using their Alaska Airlines Visa® card on eligible in-stadium concession and retail purchases during Fly, Fly Away Friday games.
Community partnerships with the Mariners
We also have other community partnerships with the Mariners, including a Home Runs for UNCF program where we donate 10,000 miles for every Mariners home run at T-Mobile Park and 40,000 miles for a Grand Slam to UNCF. In 2023, we provided one million miles to UNCF for travel through the Home Runs for UNCF program, and this season, there have been 82 home runs to date! Miles donated help students fly to college tours, travel back and forth between school and home, and participate in a variety of leadership development programs and other programming offered by UNCF.
