SEATTLE, Feb. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is ramping up
our growth in Portland to provide
our guests with more choice and convenience. We've added more than
20 daily departures starting this summer to sought-after
destinations from the Rose City. Our capacity has increased by 25%,
improving connectivity and providing additional travel options.
"We've been the largest carrier in Portland for more than 20 years. We don't take
that for granted. It's important for us to provide our guests with
a variety of convenient flight options at PDX along with the
addition of new routes. We know travelers have a choice and we want
them to fly with us," said Kirsten
Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network
planning for Alaska Airlines.
All our guests – whether in Portland or across our expanding network – can
take advantage of a premium travel experience on their next
Alaska flight. We are the West
Coast's premier airline offering our flyers the most legroom in
First Class* and Premium Class; no change fees; multiple fare
offerings; the most generous loyalty program with Mileage Plan with
the fastest path to elite status; 30 global partners; and West
Coast food and beverage on board.
With Sunday's big game, we turned to the biggest advertising
moment of the year to spotlight our premium products and services,
including highlighting our most legroom. Our new campaign can now
be seen in the Portland,
Seattle, San Francisco/Bay Area and San Diego markets.

Our winter-spring seasonal flight between Portland and Redmond/Bend is so popular that we added a
second daily roundtrip starting Oct.
1. We also extended our nonstop seasonal flying from
Portland to Billings, Kansas
City and Minneapolis until
the end of the year – service was set to end in late summer.
Tickets for all our flights are available for purchase at
alaskaair.com.
Alaska currently serves 53
nonstop destinations from Portland, including a few new destinations on
our route map. On Nov. 17, we began
nonstop service to Miami.
Year-round flights to Nashville
start on March 14. By this summer,
we'll have more than 100 average daily departures from Portland.
"We're thrilled about the added flights out of PDX. As our
largest carrier, more Alaska
flights means even more options for travelers, whether they're
flying cross-country or within the state. And the increase in
service means more visitors for our concession and ground travel
partners – the local businesses that are the heart of our region
and bring so much excitement to our airport," said Dan Pippenger, chief aviation officer at the
Port of Portland.
We're excited about our future in Portland. We're putting the final touches on
the design of our all-new Flagship Lounge at PDX. It's currently
scheduled to open in the 2025-26 timeframe with more than 10,000
square feet of space that will provide double the seating of our
current Lounge spaces. The atmosphere will be infused with the
Pacific Northwest spirit like our award-winning Flagship Lounge at
the N Concourse in Seattle. Lounge
members and guests will enjoy a barista station with hand-crafted
espresso beverages and drip coffee from Stumptown; complimentary
beer, wine and house spirits; our signature Loungers to relax in;
and a custom fireplace.
At Alaska, we're proud of our
award-winning service. Our First Class offers complimentary hot
meals based on a seasonal menu with a range of fresh, bright West
Coast-inspired flavors and various beverages. Flyers in Premium
Class can also take advantage of complimentary cocktails,
hand-selected wines and local beers.
With power outlets at every seat on our mainline aircraft, you
can enjoy hundreds of free movies and TV shows that can be streamed
to your device during the flight. Our aircraft are also enabled
with streaming-fast satellite Wi-Fi available for purchase and the
option to pre-order from a range of fresh meal selections to make
sure you get what you want.
