We'll offer the most nonstop destinations ever this summer from Alaska's largest city along with daily Portland-Fairbanks service; other new nonstops begin this week across our network

SEATTLE, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time this summer, Alaska Airlines is connecting Anchorage to both Detroit and Sacramento with seasonal nonstop flights, as well as resuming nonstop service between Fairbanks and Portland. Weekly, roundtrip flights to and from Detroit and Sacramento begin on June 14, 2025 – which adds up to 15 nonstop destinations between Anchorage and the Lower 48 and Hawaii, the most we've ever served in the summer. We'll start flying the Fairbanks-Portland route on May 15, 2025. Tickets can be purchased now at alaskaair.com.

"Our new routes provide guests with more options than ever to vacation this summer in the great state of Alaska," said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of network planning and revenue management at Alaska Airlines. "The nonstop flights from Detroit and Sacramento will put travelers right in the heart of Alaska by skipping a layover, and Portlanders can enjoy nonstop service to Fairbanks."

"Summer is a tremendous time to visit The Great Land of Alaska with our long, warm days, tremendous culture and adventure, and amazing wild Alaska seafood," said Marilyn Romano, regional vice president of Alaska at Alaska Airlines. "There's so much to do around Anchorage, and the city is a perfect jumping-off point to venture out to communities across the state, as well as hopping on a cruise. For Alaskans, we now have even more nonstop destinations to visit family and friends this summer."
