Alaska Airlines Expands Nonstop Flights California, Pacific Northwest

Alaska Airlines is expanding its West Coast service with new routes connecting California and the Pacific Northwest. Starting January, Alaska will offer year-round daily flights between Spokane International Airport and John Wayne Airport in Orange County, addressing a strong demand for nonstop service in the region. Additionally, Alaska Airlines plans to begin seasonal nonstop flights from Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport to Palm Springs International Airport in October, filling a service gap left by Avelo Airlines. This Palm Springs route marks Alaska's eighth destination from Santa Rosa and will include the airline’s Wine Flies Free program. The airline is also adding new nonstop flights connecting Hollywood Burbank Airport with cities in Oregon and Washington, further solidifying its presence on the West Coast and enhancing travel options for both business and leisure passengers. These expansions are part of Alaska Airlines’ strategy to increase connectivity to key markets and support regional airport growth.
